Heck, maybe he even shared some of those fruits with his crew. There's pretty much zero doubt that he's become an even greater force to be reckoned with than he was before the skip. So frankly, I wouldn't find it so surprising that even someone as mighty as Marco is wary of what may happen if he squares off with his former comrade now....

Well remember we are talking about what may have gone on during the timeskip; as in anywhere between now and 2 years ago. Yes today Blackbeard is know as one of the yonkou, controls most of WB's Territory and is gathering devil fruits, but that wasn't the case 2 years. 2 years ago is when the World government thought Marco might be able to stop BB's advance and 2 years ago is most likely when Marco would have tried to deal with BB if he wanted to. Hell should we really think that Marco sat back and did nothing while BB was taking all of the former WB land; knowing whitebeard, many of the inhabitants of those islands may have been friends of the WB crew.
Not to mention its very telling that Marco not only did not manage to rise up as a yonkou, but that it was Blackbeard and not the Whitebeard pirates, that now control most of Whitebeard's Territory. As formidable as they were, it sounds like the whitebeard pirates may have fallen from their once very high place in the past 2 years.
heh, not to mention that if BB is hunting for powerful devil fruits, i might expect the Phoenix fruit and the Diamond fruit would be on his list. Some real terrible things may have happened in these past 2 years.
