What if Luffy was captured by Black Beard instead of ace. Who would show up to save him and would it be enough

Well, quite simply, no one of any consequence would save him. Nor would he be executed publicly as he had only a 30,000,000 beli bounty at the time and is the grandson of garp, the hero of the marines. They’d want to hide that information, not make a grand spectacle of it.

As of logue town, when he encounters Blackbeard, he had yet to make significant allies in the pirate era, certainly not any that would mount a full scale assault to free him. Ace would be the only one strong enough to attempt such a feat, but I doubt white beard would lend ace his allies. Even now, I suspect that Luffy would barely get out, only because shanks may or may not consider Luffy worthy of being rescued.

Lets say he was captured now.

His current allies are as follows: Law, the Kuja, the Sun Pirates, the Grand Fleet, Rayleigh, the Franky Brothers and some of the samurai of Wano. I’m not including the kingdoms he’s rescued, as rescuing Luffy would have dire consequences. You could argue that katakuri and garp would try to rescue him. He has three crew members capable of stalling an admiral. Law, hancock and Rayleigh could as well. If Mochi boi and garp show up, they have a realistic chance of getting past the top tier of the navy. The issue is the warlords. Without Shanks, i don’t see the allies having the numbers or the overall strength to break through.
