Interesting concept. I've never thought of it that way before, but now that I think about it, each of the seven Shichibukai do correspond in a way to one of the seven deadly sins. I tried matching them up, and here's what I came up with.
Sir Crocodile - Greed
Crocodile was an ambitious sort, and he was the type of person that wanted to amass more and more power and influence and wealth. He manipulated Baroque Works and Alabasta just so he could get more than he already had.
Moria - Sloth
Moria is just plain lazy. His crew and zombie army are basically there to do things for him. Even his Devil Fruit ability is a symbol of his laziness: he mostly just lies there while his shadow does the fighting.
Mihawk - Pride
There isn't much we know about him, but Mihawk's very demeanor speaks of an immense pride in his status as the world's greatest swordsman.
Doflamingo - Envy
Little is known about him, but we do know that Doflamingo seemingly despises pirates who pursue their dreams. The reason why he feels that way is likewise also unknown, but in cases like this, the usual reason is because the person's dreams have been shattered and he envies those who still have their dreams.
Kuma - Wrath
A pirate so violent that he was known as the "Tyrant", Kuma now serves as the World Government's exterminator. He is the symbol of the World Government's wrath.
Boa Hancock - Lust
A female pirate said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, Hancock uses her beauty to ensnare men with passion... and then turning them to stone.
Jimbei - Gluttony?
We haven't even met Jimbei yet, so we don't know what he's like. Gluttony is the only sin left, though. Maybe he's a fat-ass. ^^
So where does Blackbeard fit in all this? Well, he took Crocodile's place, so it only makes sense for him to take over his sin as well. It fits, too, since Blackbeard was willing to even kill a comrade in order to achieve his goal.
