User blog comment:Yeit/Gol D. Roger devil fruit???/@comment-3242083-20110225155527

I believe Roger possessed the Yami Yami no Mi.

There must be a reason why Blackbeard went through all that trouble to get his hands on that specific fruit. Something or someone must have impressed him back in the day, since only consumption reveals the fruits power.

But why Roger and not someone else? We know that Devil Fruits reappear after death. Roger died 22 years ago. Blackbeard started his search for the Yami Yami no Mi a little over 20 years ago. A mere coincidence?

And now that Blackbeard managed to get his hands on the Gura Gura no Mi, I can already hear him boasting about possessing the power of 2 former "Pirate Kings" - Roger and Whitebeard.
