What I mean is that for BB to intercept the 'power', whether by somehow trapping it or using the Yami Yami to pull it into him, the 'power' has to move from Whitebeard's body and move with a velocity to the new fruit. If it were to be like the transmition of gauge bosons then it would happen instantaneously, with the 'power' simply ceasing to exist within Whitebeard and appearing in the fruit, so BB couldn't halt the movement. It wouldn't stop him simply having the fruit that the fruit it was going to and eating it, but there have already been a few points made about that to do with people dying on ships or in villages. I do think it's a perfectly sensible idea, I'm just saying that you assume that the 'power' moves physically to the fruit.
