The pieces of Blackbeard's body lay scattered before Lott.
Three black hearts were also visible.
One of the hearts had a huge cut across it, with faint charring around the edges.
It was clearly the work of the Electromagnetic Knife.
The other two hearts were still beating faintly. As Teach's life ended, those two hearts gradually stopped moving as well.
Lott was somewhat puzzled. "Teach actually had three hearts, and every one of them was black."
He could not help recalling the descriptions of Blackbeard in the original story.
Marco had said that Blackbeard's body was abnormal. He had never slept, even as a child, and this had once troubled him.
Even more remarkably, Blackbeard could actually eat two or even three Devil Fruits.
Throughout the entire history of the pirate world, no one had ever been able to eat two or more Devil Fruits at once.
In his previous life, he had thought Teach could eat two Devil Fruits solely because the Logia Dark-Dark Fruit could accommodate other fruits.
But now, it seemed he had been wrong.
Teach might very well have been a combination of three souls.
Three hearts, each housing a soul.
So, in principle, each soul could consume one Devil Fruit.
With three souls, he could naturally eat three Devil Fruits without his body exploding and killing him.
Devil Fruits were manifestations of human desires. It was quite possible that these devils resided within people's hearts.
Likewise, the pirate world had different races, and each race possessed some sort of special ability to one degree or another.
Clearly, Teach also belonged to a special race.
It was quite possible that this race had long since gone extinct, or that it was not from the pirate world at all, but from another planet.
