Something just popped in my head. If Blackbeard's aware of this with the mera mera fruit then why doesn't he just take it? He is afterall a Yonko and can more or less do what he wants so why play by the rules? Is Doflamingo giving him artificial devil fruits too behind Kaidou's back or is Blackbeard worried about starting a war with Kaido with Doflamingo being under his protection? Hmm....
