Paci, I completely agree with you that it would be awesome for luffy to beat blackbeard without more DFs, but i do think if the need arises he will if he can get another devil fruit because i think he will be more worried about getting the job done rather than how to do it. For example to beat moria he swallowed shadows. He has many moments where he uses his surrondings to defeat his opponents. Another small example when he fought arlong he used alrongs own teeth against him. To survive and do whats right he will do almost anything.
