Most people should realize that Blackbeard is only getting started. Oda seems to have a running theme when it comes to this man, that he always starts off his fights taking attacks, and being over dramatic when it comes to getting hurt. But everytime he goes to get serious, Oda either off screens it, or does something to stop the conflict before it escalates. Oda is definitely keeping something a secret in regards to Blackbeard.
In my whole one piece reading journey I have never seen anyone using Awakening right of the bat.
