A theory based on a speculation.
A speculation based on 1 panel interaction.
An interaction where two characters did not even exchange blows.
Yes, you can expect this from Zoro fans only.
What I think is, Blackbeard was getting comfortable and wanted things to progress slowly (he always take his time to strike).
However, he didnt anticipate sudden changes that happened recently.
He will be forced to participate in this war.
Everything was going according to his plan, so he need a little surprise now.

look we can clearly see that Oda introduce this haki adv shit 3 arcs ago
We can also clearly see that Shiryu main power aint his df shit which he got maybe 2 years ago or even early
Clearly you can take the word of 1 of the most important member of the revo army for what they are, still Magellan was equal to a Shiryu that didnt relay in any fruit power and his equal low diff BB which even Shanks count deal with
