Remember how Kaido (born in the Vodka kingdom) was supposed to have all subordinates named after beverages (starting with Scotch, whom X Drake defeated pre-ts), to mirror BM's subordinates being named after food? Only for Oda to scrape everything and introduce the card game naming scheme, even though it had already been used for both Ace and Dofla's crew?

Yeah.
That's what these Xebec flashbacks are going to do: rewrite a lot of small details that no longer fit in Oda's reimagining of what's left telling of OP.

Buckle up for a big retcon.

Pretty sure vodka Kingdom info came later on.

Whereas Joker as doffy and jack were already introduced.
 
Biggest issue with Teach and Xebec looking so similar isn't about WB, we know WB doesn't care about this kind of stuff because "everyone is a child of the sea".
But HOW the fuck did the WG give this guy a warlord spot? This is the same group that hunted pregnant women because of the risk the Pirate King might have a kid.

The more story advances, the more incompetent the WG is.
