Future Events The stronger Blackbeard becomes EoS, the more stupid it was for the marines to let him go

Notice how Sengoku just lets Blackbeard walk away here. Probably not the best idea. I mean. He has two fruits, one of which is one you fully acknowledged can destroy the world.

Of course, for this scene to make sense in any context, it would literally have to mean the fight between Shanks, BB and marines would have to be a fairly close fight for both the marines AND Shanks. As it was a stupid as shit idea to let Blackbeard live in general.

In other words, Shanks made the marines back down lol

For me the bigger Plothole: Shanks, the guy with likely the strongest Haki, doesn't finish a hurted Blackbeard, as he could in the moment. He also had the backup from his crew and i dont think anyone was on the side of Blackbeard to protect him in this moment.

Near dead Whitebeard with df nearly no diffed Blackbeard and even Luffy could hurt him in Impel Down. As you also mentioned, Blackbeard just received his second fruit and wasn't well trained with it.

He was there to end the war. Blackbeard firing off quakes would just cause more chaos.

The reasonable and likely take with this is that Shanks and the marines were about an even match. Shanks had a lot to lose from the chaos. As did the marines.

Yeah,Shanks was the one who was worried about Blackbeard at the beginning...then,when he become powerful like never before,he lets him go...a dumb move by Shanks (Oda).
No, its actually pretty understandable. He was calling for a ceasefire, and more fighting would escalate the situation.

It meant the marines and Shanks had to be of roughly equal power.
