He might have gotten Shank's face through a sneak attack during a larger fight. It would certainly fit with his personality.

No, he literally said to Whitebeard that "it wasn't because I was careless". So he must have been really strong back then too

I constantly re-read the books in bed before going to sleep. Best time to read for me.
That doesn't necessarily rule out a sneak attack. You can be totally on guard and still get snuck up on.

Man, Mohji and Richie sure haven't been up to much since they got fodderized by the new recruits, huh?

Not to mention with some fans only reading panda what can happen lol .
But even without the fruit Shanks was worried about Blackbeard. If he snuck up on Shanks and just swiped him, why would he explicitly tell Whitebeard that he wasn't being careless and that he should call back Ace. Doesn't make sense to me

Shanks came from the grandline don't forget he was on roger ship .
As for BB say what you want about him but he is a monster even more so now .
He just like luffy who leave thing to chance or luck .
Same as Buggy, who is fodder even today as a Shichibukai. Before meeting Luffy, I don't think he went to the Grand Line with his crew.
Blackbeard's personality has been shown as that of a guy with a lot of patience, he sat in Whitebeard's shadow until he was ready to make his move. It can be pretty easily explained as a fear by Shanks, that Whitebeard obviously shared as he asked Ace not to go after him, that Blackbeard felt he had become strong enough to strike out on his own, killing a crewmate in the process and not fearing a reprisal from Whitebeard's crew. That says a lot about where he was at that moment and should have been enough to give anyone, with a decent view of what's going on, pause. Their fear was that Blackbeard was far more dangerous than he had been letting on.

He would have to be in the grandline because WB talk about him and mihawk duals and i doubt WB was in one of the 4 blues .
This happen before he meet luffy since we know mihawk stop fighting him after he lost his arm .
Plus you forget that WB said everyone was wondering what type of monster took his hand after he came back .
Which IMO would show he was in the grandline already .

He also isn't a no.2 or subservient.

I'm really eager to see what Zoan Blackbeard will get. I hope they don't kill Jesus Burgess, I need a figure of him.
Did they not make one of him yet? That seems strange, he's got a unique look and he's round so he should be easy to sculpt.

By getting completely handled
You know what happen, and many think Burgess is BBs right hand man

Doesnt matter what people think, as long as BB feels embarassed thats what matters
But well see if my theory holds true that they are even going there to take him out
I still think Blackbeard is going to get his ass handed to him (a first for the series) and will lead to him wanting revenge against the Revolutionaries in the final war and give Luffy even more reason to fight him. Of course this'll be long after Luffy meets his father and bonds with him a bit. Dragon still cares about his son somewhat afterall since he did save him in Loguetown.
He embarassed BB by getting wtfpwnd

So your theory is BB going to feel embarrass and want to kill him .
Well they have been more crazy theories out there i guess .
(because right now in the manga i don't see it being mention that BB is embarrass of him )

I am familiar with OP villains but i am also familiar with oda writing .
BB is being set up as the anti luffy in many ways but he still care about his crew .
BB believes in fate and luck and he has lost before , don't see him trying to kill a crew member because he lost .
Even more so one that was with him since the beginning .
Take for eg Don is also a OP villain but his main crew members he won't kill them off because they lose .
Yeah I agree with this. Blackbeard isn't going to abandoned his crewmates. Like you said he's pretty much Anti-Luffy in personality as established in Jaya, and he even believes in DREAMS.
Blackbeard prob isn't even all that evil compared to some pirates like Doflamingo or maybe even Kaidou.

The chance of your theory happening is only slightly less than zero.
Don't try to pawn it off as if someone else here doesn't understand the series...
Whatever dude, its my theory. You dont need to agree

I mean, BB doesn't seem like that kind of guy. We already know Jesus is closer to BB than someone like Shiliew and Kuzan. Even in this chapter he calls BB captain in stead of "admiral" and Lafitte corrects him. He's stuck with his crew this far.
If anything, I would think Shiliew would do it unsanctioned.
No my theory is not perfect. I have quite a few, and the one you mentioned about an unsanctioned attack from Shiliew is one of them as well.
First I have a question, do we even know if BB is on the ship with them heading towards the Rev army?
2nd, I feel my theory is more likely than BB vs Rev Army, cause I really dont see that happening. Its one of those things that gets teased to us but dont really happen, like Doffy vs Kuzan or Fujitora. BB has never attacked the top guys without any sort of upperhand.
In Impel Down, the chaos of the escape made it easy for him to trespass and gain access. In Marineford, he attacked WB as he was already beat up, and even then it wasnt a 1:1.
Just my gut talking here.

Was that a Sanji lookalike near the Rev. army HQ?

I don't think he's with them. It showed two ships and it sounds like each of BB's main crew are in charge of one ship. So Shiliew and Lafitte.
I also find it hard to believe that BB is going to attack the Revolutionaries. It seems like something that's too large-scaled to not involve Luffy and his crew (which it might, if the story takes us there.)
All I can say for sure is that the Revolutionaries arc is definitely going to take place around the Reverie. I could be wrong. We don't know how strong BB has become and we don't know how large or strong the Revolutionary army is perceived to be.

Lol, Mohji and Richie got fat. Took me a second to connect that the 5 soldiers Buggy was talking about are the giants from Dressrosa.

Can't believe I didn't think about that! I just assumed he was on stilts or some shit.

Considering that Dragon is asking for the leaders of the revolutionary army, maybe it is intentional?
He was behind a rock. I assume he used his last strength to escape somewhere remotely safe. They could easily first reported to HQ before starting unpacking.
You mean he wants to challenge Blackbeard?
It's still sloppy work though and doesn't reflect well on those three.
