I think that if BB was gentetically altered by a team that had Vegapunk in it then they would have known the name BlackBeard and would have attempted to capture him at least. Then again Jusge got away so ....

Kureha I think is the most likely out of all of these. Would be a really cool tie in too.

I don't think croc is inovled in this. He is just a really experienced DF user. When we go to the war it was obvious that croc was/is a pretty powerful dude adn that he has been in the game awhile. You could say Doffy would be the same really. The thing that trips me up is the Lassoo thing but that could just be Oda using it before he made it only a WG thing or maybe Croc/Mr.4 just got lucky.
