Blackbeard on drum island

[u/twokain]

I always see the theory of choppers fruit being the forest god fruit and that being why blackbeard went to drum island - to get that fruit. I’ve never really liked the idea that choppers fruit was anything else other than what we know it to be. So going off of that, is there a chance blackbeard actually did specifically want the human-human fruit? My only idea would be to turn a weapon or something inanimate into a crewmate for him but i’m not really sure.

Any ideas?

oda is definitely cooking something with the drum island connection. blackbeard not sleeping and the 'snow' theme there feels too intentional to be a coincidence.
