MDM + Xdrake : My guess is that sometime we will get a small flashback or reference showing  Blackbeard  crushing the remaining Whitebeard pirates who went to him in order to avenge Newgate or he (Teach) went to them in order to get their fruits after killing them. Seeing these guys in another war would be somewhat tiring for one piece standards. (Ofc i hate the idea of blackbeard or one of his members getting marco's fruit. This would be WAYYYY overpowered.)

Meji: Newgate did not use to recruit anyone into his crew. These guys were matching the power of the "elite" marine soldiers who gathered at marineford. They would be monsters compared to regular humans.
