I personally dont agree with this. Getting qn ancient weapon doesn't change anything. Getting all 3 weapons on top of One Piece is the point.
Copying my edit:
All Rocks' death does, imo, is solidifies Blackbeard's possible motivations at revenge or power, but it doesnt mean he'll succeed in anyway before becoming PK. Its probably the reason he WANTS to become PK
To be clear, I am not saying BB will kill Imu for sure. Not at all. I am saying this:
- before Erbaf, BB killing Imu felt impossible and more so: totally random. I was sure Imu would have been the FV 100%.
- In Erbaf, Oda started saying:
1) BB is the descendant of the legendary Davy Jones, the previous King of the world;
2) Imu probably killed and usurped said Davy Jones;
3) Imu fears Joy Boy and Davy Jones on somewhat equal terms;
4) Xebec, BB's father, wanted to kill Imu and take back what was "his", promised to do so, but was in the end again killed by Imu, leaving BB as an orphan;
5) now we know that BB's plan involves attaching Marijoa in some way.
With that information, we cannot really say that BB killing Imu would be random anymore. It has both the big lore plot connection (Davy Jones - Imu) and the personal drive (Imu killing BB's father, BB taking back what is his and fulfilling Xebec's promise).
Not saying it's happening, just that Erbaf gave very serious weight to something that was totally baseless before.
