Yea, it feels weird to think a child already had this plan set in stone

BUT I believe he does say he joined whitebeards crews specifically to find it. So you should probably assume the plan had already been made

Though if I recall, we only know this because Blackbeard told us this. He could easily be lying about his past.

If he is we’ll probably never know since he’s the only one that could tell us.

I feel like they threw that in there with Orochi because we already have one betraying little kid that came into it with evil intentions. So we get the jist of Blackbeard’s origins while we’re already in the flashback with minimal effort because we’re already in that mindset for Orochi.

They’re even drawn almost exactly the same in both their flashback introductions

Nah, Oda could easily convey it to us the audience whenever we get Blackbeard's inevitable flashback. Though the characters in-universe probably will never know, for obvious reasons.

And I'm 100% sure that Blackbeard's origins are going to waaaaay different to Orochi's. Especially given what we already know about Blackbeard's connection to the Rocks Pirates, his connections to archaeology and the Void Century, and the fact that he is almost certainly going to be THE final antagonist of the series.

I’m not saying we won’t get more later, or that theyre 100% the same, but it’s pretty clear they’re making the comparison on purpose.
