For him to get 1 on the mighty Shanks so long ago ( remember he already had those when he met up with Luffy ) I'm pretty sure it was a surprise attack
Didn't Shanks tell Whitebeard that the scars from Blackbeard were not the result of a surprise attack nor was Shanks screwing around. Too lazy to look it up right now to double check though.

That was slick how Blackbeards plan to absorb Whitebeards fruit could have resulted in death. I'm not sure how I feel about the chimera theory yet as far as it being possible. I honestly think it would be lame as hell but if it's true I have no doubt that Oda will write it in an enjoyable way.

I've been thinking about how the story will progress eventually and based on the past few chapters I think and I'm hoping that the series wont end with Luffy becoming the pirate king. I think he's going to carry the title for a couple of arcs before the series finishes.
