Blackbeard’s crew should be stronger than the Holy Knights, since they are the next enemies in the story.
If Blackbeard kills Imu, there is a possibility that, just like he hunted down Devil Fruits and distributed them to his crew, he could share the powers he acquires from Imu.
He might then turn his crew members into a kind of new Holy Knights by giving them contracts or granting them those powers

Coz even DF awakenings is not gonna be enough justification to put Blackbeard's subordinates on the level they are going to be required to be at come the end of the series. Except Oda's gonna introduce Level 2 awakening or something.
Also, something I think is also very indicative of Teach potentially stealing Imu's DF is Imu's contract being based on the sea even though that is clearly a theme around Davy Jones. Could be that Imu stole Davy Jones DF in the past hence why he can use contracts etc. What will also be interesting about is that if Teach steals Imu's DF, he might not necessarily inherit immortality as immortality itself is probably exclusive to Imu so will fix this problem of weaker SHs being able to fight against immortals.
