General & Others One Piece inconsistencies

Nearly everything about Sabo’s existence is a plot hole. Him being alive was foreshadowed. Him being strong was also expected. But being notorious on top of that with no one telling Luffy he was alive didn’t make any sense.
I kind of expect important characters to be miraculously spared in manga in these situations...but the sword thing itself seems like a retcon. Drake had an inner monologue about being surprised at how powerful the pacifista were, which you’d expect him to know about if he were still working in a secret division in the navy. Kizaru also seemed to have no idea that they were on the same side. Unless Oda ends up making sword so secret that even the admirals don’t know about it.
Teach not massacring the WB pirates doesn’t make much sense. Why not try to get his hands on Marco’s legendary zoan, instead of giving likely the #2 in his crew a fruit from an ex-shichibukai’s lackey? And if he wanted burgess to get Ace’s fruit, why not just kill Ace in the first place?
On that topic, Doffy using the real mera mera as a prize in clear view instead of a prop was unusually silly for his character. It just made it convenient for Sabo.

Shouldn’t Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Jack have all recognized each other during the confrontation in Zou?? Now that we know the dog and cat were retainers in Wano and present for the big clashes with Kaido and his underlings, they act pretty unfamiliar with one another during the in-battle banter. You can argue that Jack was 8 twenty years ago and therefore looks a lot different, but he was very clearly announced and introduced by his subordinates. Neko even comments on his DF power, which he likely possessed in the past, but I’ll allow that part is pure headcanon from me.
I feel like there should still be some sense of recognizance...Kaido and the Scabbards, as we now know, have a very intense and checkered past. I don’t think you go through the things they did, or do the things that they did to each other, and not remember your opponents regardless of time or circumstances. Maybe it’ll be explained sometime down the line in this arc.
The Marines at Shells Town, where Luffy met Zoro, didn’t seem to be familiar with Devil Fruits at all, except for Morgan having some sort of vague familiarity with them, even though otherwise renowned people that are part of the same group like Sengoku and Aokiji have Devil Fruit powers that they’ve presumably accomplished much with. I suppose it goes to show how little in the know Marines can be around the world.
I will repeat what I said in another thread.
Sanji somehow knowing of the Clear Clear fruit and wanting it in Thriller Bark since a child yet he wondered why Luffy was drowning in Baratie’s climax.
Hell, Trebol having properties of a damn Logia despite being just a big dude covered in snot as a Paramecia.

Or a fruit that has the ability to nullify devil fruit powers, and Blackbeard had that.
It simply doesn't make sense because even though Marco and maybe some of the others could run away, there would have been WBP members who couldn't escape and I don't see Marco just abandoning them. It doesn't completely erase the possibility that the WBP fodder covered for Marco, Jozu & Blamenco to escape, but it would be out of character.
I understand if Blackbeard simply didn't want Blamenco's fruit though. It's just whack
