Nice theory. :D
YOu are right and he is going for a mythical zoan type.
But WHO SAYS THAT HE IS GOING FOR MARCO?
I BELIEVE THAT BLACKBEARD THINKS THAT MARCO´s devil fruit is not good for him.
BLACKBEARD IS COMING FOR SENGOKU.
I think that blackbeard will come for sengoku´s devil fruit. Think about it. IT would be a perfect combination. The best strongest body (zoan),powerfull attacks (paramecia) and good defense and abosrbation (logia).
HE WOULD DOMINATE WITH THAT THREE.
I think that blackbeard will come for sengoku. He and his crew find sengoku in a town and teach tells him his plans and that sengoku is next. Then comes gapr and then comes a clash. BLACKBEARD PIRATES VS NAVY LEGENDS. No one wins. They both retreat.Each party much damage. Blackbeard then realizes that sengoku is too strong for him and goes after marco.Marco hears about it. A clash between marco and blackbeard. While they are fighting straw hats get in the middle of a fight and stop teach.Blackbeard says that luffy is next. And then they disappear. BECAUSE OF THAT MARCO needs help (he cant defeat alone) and joins STRAW HATS.
Another fact: I was reading questions that people send to ODA. One question was about marco´s ability of healing. He said that there is a limit and that he will explain more later in the story. Since marco will cross in the main storyline.

My theory on how he was able to do this is that his devil fruit has the power, when using his black hole ability. To literally suck things in and assimilate them into his body. We've seen him during the fight with Ace suck the powers out of him temporarily. But maybe the technique Black Hole that he gained allowed him to suck in anything and keep it within him. We've never seen him suck anything up and then now explode it back out. Maybe he can choose what properties he can imbue within himself. Just by touching whitebeard's body. He sucked up all the remnants of the Gura Gura no mi and somehow, perhaps with an unknown technique. Absorbed the devil fruit itself. Maybe he can even absorb the knowledge on how to use it. Because he seemed to use it to show off a bit without even trying. Though there probably is a limit, if he absorbs and keeps too much stuff into his body, it could probably kill him just like normal. My theory.

The theory seems plausible though the Cerberus theory is most recurring theory i have heard.

I think Blackbeard hasn't eaten any fruit before Yami Yami and he somehow knew the ultimate powers of Yami Yami to nullify the the other Df and somehow also to gain the power of other's Devil Fruit. Though i don't understand why Blackbeard used a cloth to hide the process of him taking Whitebeard's fruit as if only he is able to achieve this feat, why to do that secretly? Or maybe some one can do this except him. Or it was just a surprise.

Also maybe it is quite plausible that Blackbeard might be so far the only one to attain a feat of having two DF because of the structure of his body (this signifies his disproportionate body and not of him being a Chimera).

One Piece is a simple series and no complications have been added to it till now and Oda won't mix up the plot with Greek Mythological Creatures and make it complicated as till now everything in the series was easy to understand, grasp and logical, a sudden appearance of Cerberus and Chimera and whatnot, i don't think that's coming from Oda's side.

Wrong. The three ancient weapons in OP all comes from the Greek Myths xd And Poseidon was the merman god of the Occean xd

And the cloack over Whitebeard. I think it was cause he didn't want anyone to see what he was doing, cause if the chimera theory is right then he released the others from his body.

Cerberus and Chimera would make it more complicated and maybe more difficult to grasp for many. And as you said that the weapons were named on Greek god's then yes it had some greek influence but it was because the names of Greek God's were pretty fitting in the position of weapon.
The addition of Chimera is unwanted and Oda won't introduce a complicated thing for a rather logical manga.

Maybe if the theory is true then Blackbeard did cover Whitebeard for that reason but if it isn't then i wonder what's the reason.

Exactly. He's not doing something that's unique to him that's why he doesn't want others to see what he's doing because someone else might figure it out. Then again it might be impossible to do it without darkness fruit because there's no technology aviable that could do the same procedure.

We know for a fact that devil fruits recycle, so after people die their powers "reincarnate" in fresh fruits.
I think Blackbeard is somehow interfering in this natural process and sucking up those powers with his darkness fruit or with the help of some other substance, perhaps an empty fruit, before they can reincarnate in new devil fruits.

I could agree with Chimera or Cerberus theory if this power absorbing was unique to Blackbeard only but it looks like his whole team is now absorbing powers.

:
Rumour has it that his crew are actively hunting down users of Devil Fruit abilities. Though little is known of the how... / ...it seems that they possess some means of killing Devil Fruit Users and taking their abilities for themselves...!! // The Blackbeard Pirates' primary aim is to acquire the most powerful Devil Fruit abilities they can obtain. So be careful, all of you...!!

Then again, the Chimera theory has been debunked to a degree. I don't recall the exact flashback and whose was it, but it was shown that at least, before Thatch was killed and BB obtained the Yami Yami no Mi, he wielded wolverine-like claws.

The Chimera theory was spawned when WB and Shanks met, and Shanks mentioned his scar.

Ok so this is what i pieced together: blackbeard always had a plan to get to get to the top. Blackbeard was purposely apart of whitebeards crew for protection and to remain hidden under the name whitebeard. Furthermore, while he was one whitebeards ship, he studied a devil fruit by the of the yami yami no mi he figured out all the powers it possesed. Thatch found that fruit and because blackbeard was familiar with it he killed thatch, ate he fruit, and ran away. Knowing that whitebeard would send one of his members to kill him he devised a way to gain power. At he time, their was a missing warlord position that had to be filled so he sent one of his members to go to he warlord meeting to recommend him as a warlord. This came true and he became a warlord. Now he has the ability to capture pirates so he caught ace and gave him to the marines. Knowing that a huge war would occur and knowing that luffy would try to break ace out, he invaded impel down to gain some new members making him a prime member for the yonko position. So then he purposely went to marineford knowing that whitebeards been injured so he had to finish to job and kill him, which he eventually did. Now all of this goes back to the yami yami no mi because he studied it he knew that one of its powers was to extract devil fruits from the dead. Eventually he got everything he wanted and now is as powerful as any other yonko and in my opinion he will be he one luffy beats in order to obtain he one piece at the end of the series

The theory is awesome.

Actually Id like to add to it.

That picture you have of shanks scar. Ive always wondered how he got it. I mean obviously Teach did it but unless he ddnt cut his nails when they fought he wouldnt have gotten a scar of that shape. What if BlackBeard already posses the mythical zoan type fruit. It was his first fruit. And it was the chimera fruit of some sort.

Idk just a thought although it seems quite possible.
