It was shown when Smiley died. An apple that was laying nearby transformed into his Devil Fruit.


So Blackbeard likely just killed Whitebeard while having a fruit on his person, and when it turned into the Quake Fruit, did...whatever he does that allows him to eat another fruit while already having one.
