Blackbeard did search specifically for that fruit, waited a very long time in Whitebeards crew and then took off straight after he found it. So it definitely will have something to do with the fruit; maybe a synergy with his 'weird' body in some way.
Also I want to raise the depiction of Fujitora's power in the anime: it did look like he struck each of the dudes with his sword but didn't cut them. It's possible that he has to 'mark' the thing he wants to control with his sword in some way - maybe he cut out a bunch of rocks and holds them in orbit to have a meteors or something. This feels very much like Shiki's fruit though... Maybe he ate Shiki's? Heh.

I wouldn't be surprised if his Sword does have the fruit, but I can't imagine him having to cut something in order to use it. Didn't he bring down Meteors at Green Bit without cutting shit?

The bright side of an item having your DF would be you wouldn't be weak to water and seastone, but I'd imagine you would have much less control over the DF. Though have we seen an item eat a non zoan type DF? The item DFs I can think of are Funkfreed owned by Spandam, originally a sword that ate an elephant type DF and Lassoo owned by Mr 4, originally a gun that ate a dog type DF.
If the a sword were to eat a paramecia or logia type DF it would still have no intellect and you would have to shake to get to do what you want? You can train an item animal hybrid, but how can you train a gravity sword?

I'd argue it's impossible (or you could choose to read impractical, or even useless, assuming it's technically possible) for things to possess the powers of a non-Zoan DF. The sentience that comes with Zoan DFs is a requirement, as in the case of Spandam's sword.

Or the Mera Mera for example. It's just fire or poison etc. It just really depends on the type of fruit imo and how it can be used.

Non-sentience makes everything tricky, because you can't tell it what to do or how to do it.

Have you never seen a flaming sword? Obviously the hilt isn't gonna be on fire or hot. People do that irl even. Heck you could prob get it to shoot fireballs at people when you point it like a gun.

I still don't see how a gun or sword can even eat a fruit. Do you just stab it?
|
Df affect clothing otherwise Ace would be naked and they even affect attatched limbs like with Monet so attatching a hilt later wouldnt work. Even if it did you would still have a big control problem with getting the sword to do what you want.
We don't know how items eat DF only that its a process Vegapunk discovered so it's probably more than just stabbing.

I think it definitely has something to do with the fruit, but also BB's body.
I'm guessing BB knew he had a weird body and he also knew that the Yami Yami No Mi was a fruit that would complement his body the most. Didn't he say "this fruit was meant for me" or something along those lines?
Basically, the Yami Yami no Mi allows him to absorb the entity in the devil fruit (as shown in his fight with ace). There's little doubt in my mind that that's how he obtained the Gura fruit. Him having a weird body is what allowed him to obtain a second fruit.
I don't think it has something to do with the Will of D. Some other D might have made the connection. There's just something fucking weird about Teach. He knows about this weirdness and he knows that the Yami fruit is the fruit that will let him exploit this weirdness the best.
The question is whether or not this weirdness can be reproduced. I'd like to say I don't think so. But since we don't know anything, everything is just pure speculation at the moment.

There's a difference between a sword's blade aflame and a sword of fire. A sword with the fire logia fruit would be all fire, not just the blade — assuming it was "turned on" always. It's hard to hold a hilt when it's non-solid fire, was my point. And how would you make a non-sentient sword of fire shoot fireballs anyway? Saying "please shoot fireballs" and hoping it can understand you with its non-intelligence and no way of actually hearing you? Impractical.

The sword doesn't have to become completely aflame. You're thinking of something that looks like Kuwabara's sword or something. But if a sword ate the fruit there isn't any reason part of the sword could be fire and part of the sword be the hilt or something. I mean every fruit power we are referencing could be controlled like that. Eg Ace wasn't all fire or all human.

Madness, I told you.
People have different levels of optimism when talking about devil fruits. Giving a sword a devil fruit like the fire-fire is impossible to answer. If it becomes a "magical" fire sword, can you train it? Some people assume you use it like similar artifacts in other series. Some people assume it's like trying to train a stone to roll uphill. Let me pose another question: If an inanimate object eats a non-zoan fruit like the Horo Horo no mi(Perona's fruit). How would that work? Could the soul of the sword exit its own body, even if the sword didn't have a soul to begin with?
And more importantly, how do you kill an inanimate object that ate a devil fruit that didn't become alive in the process? For a devil fruit to reappear it's user has to die. How do you kill an object with df powers, like a fire-fire sword, or a brick that can change its own weight, or a jacket that has been fed the jacket fruit to gain the ability to turn into a jacket? Or how about chair that ate the resurrection fruit(brooke)? Would its soul descend from heaven if the chair was broke, looking for its old body? Would the chair magically reassemble if the soul entered the chair again, or would the soul just occupy the largest piece of the broken chair? If the soul would enter the entire chair but not magically repair the chair, would the chair immediately die again, because it still has "deadly wounds"(for a chair)?
All I know is that in that direction are weird, weird questions and no answers are in sight.

And you have no way of controlling what part of the sword is affected and what's not. The hilt could be flame and the blade not. It's a non-sentient inanimate object that decides, you see.

My take on the non-sentient objects being able to have df powers.
Unless it has been shown, I do not think objects can take non Zoan fruits as they would be unable to actually think to control the transformation or manipulate their element nearby.
I'm with those that say it is impossible (as it currently stands in the lore we know) for an object to become a logia or paramecia.
When the sword with Mera mera shoot out fire, does it choose to control the fire or split itself up to execute the move thereby leaving you with a weapon that has reduced in mass to execute "a move". What then happens to the part that is separate since it is non sentient? Do you now have 2 objects with the same fruit element?
It doesn't make any sense at this point to assume it is possible. Unless you have proof.
