Questions & Mysteries Will Blackbeard boost his crew with Davy Back Fights? Will they acquire Cross Guild?

BB's crew is shit apart from Aokiji. Even Shiriew is looking mighty underwhelming let's be real.
Since he named his ship after Xebec, will he go down the same route? Will they acquire other crews like Big Mom Pirates or Cross Guild?

Oda seems to have Teach follow Xebec's ideals and dream but the exact opposite of his methods to accomplish said dream.
> Xebec earned his strength from seemingly a life full of battles
> Teach steals DFs to climb up the food chain
> Xebec earned his crew throughout many Davy Back fights
> Teach literally stole them from prison without breaking a sweat
> Xebec killed an Admiral, took five kings hostages, infiltrated the Holy Land and threatened Imu
> Teach seeks a pardon to become a part of the WG instead
> Xebec is fearless, daring and straightforward
> Teach is cowardly, cautious and takes his time
I believe Neckbeard read the history of individuals who dared to challenge Imu throughout the past 800 years and lost, with his father being the most recent example; acknowledging that Xebec's plan to conquer the world through his own strength proved fruitless with his defeat at God Valley, which encouraged Teach to outsmart Imu instead by a grand infiltration plan of the Holy Land, rather than relying on brute force.
That's why several BBP have fruits that are suitable for infiltration.

I'm not sure about a Davy Back Fight.
But, there's one thing to remember. Cross guild, at the end of the day, is a business.
So, couldn't Blackbeard just...hire them to join his crew? I feel like if Blackbeard offered Buggy a literal boatload of money, Buggy wouldn't be able to stop himself from accepting. It'd just be a reflex to accept the "job". And if he did it in public, there's not much Crocodile and Mihawk could do to stop him, since his crew loves him so much. Buggy's crew would probably hail him as a conquering hero for getting Blackbeard to "surrender" and paying them "ransom".
I just think that'd be a funnier scenario than a Davy Back Fight, in this instance. Buggy wouldn't be joining Blackbeard. Blackbeard would be joining Cross Guild. And behind the scenes, the Buggy-abuse would continue.

Pretty good concept, would potentially set up a fight between SH + RHP vs BBP + CG.
It would also open opportunities for:
- Emotional Buggy/Shanks moments especially if Shanks dies
- Shanks vs Mihawk rematch??
- Buggy redemption afterwards where he helps Luffy beat BB and everyone ends up thinking that he solo'd them both
- BB surprise third fruit reveal (Davy Jones Zoan?)
Only issue is that matchups would be all over the place.
