I've said this quite a while ago, but I think the reason that Blackbeard chose to acquire that specific Devil Fruit power was so that he'd have a fighting chance against not only other DF users, but those who use Haki as well. Remember what he told Ace about his power? He said that his darkness can absorb anything. I don't think it's too far-fetched to assume that his darkness can absorb "willpower", as well. I mean, if Kuma was able to remove Luffy's pain and fatigue with his paw fruit power, who's to say that Blackbeard can't suck up a person's Haki with his darkness? That would truly make him one of the most dangerous characters in the series.......
