my take on Strawhats vs Blackbeards. Hold on to your hats.
Luffy vs Blackbeard (100% chance)
The focus of the possible final battle of the series is who of these two captains wants the Pirate King Title the most. Will it be Luffy who yearns for freedom beyond that of anyone, or Blackbeard who has built up a huge reputation with his mastermind-like planning and underhanded tactics. Here we'll see Luffy sucked in by Teach's black hole and then shattered with a gura gura but as we all know, with Luffy's willpower it won't be enough to stop him.
Zoro vs Shiryuu (100% chance)
The obligatory clash of the crew's swordmans. On the Blackbeard side, Shiryuu of the rain appears to have a huge demonic build and from what we've seen, a massive damage dealer. Expect the bloodiest match in all of One piece here folks. Zoro, infamous for being able to stand after losing insane amounts of blood will make for an interesting match for the brutal, sadistic, ex-warden of Impel Down
Nami vs Laffite (100% chance)
No obligitory catfight for the creepy fanboys here. The stealthy navigators battle it out using their wits and subtle battle stratedgies. We'll see Nami's future weather manipulating abilities matched up with a man who is capable of dancing through the sky. Expect serious storms and police brutality in this match up.
Usopp vs Augur (100% chance)
The much anticipated battle of the snipers. From even before Jaya this fight has been forseen by "fate". Usopp and Augur although both snipers completely differ in thier way of warfare. Usopp with his underhanded, sometimes dirty party tricks will take on a refined man of elegance. As we all know, a battle between snipers is not like close combat. It is very risky and must be done efficiently. Usopp may have to take deadly risks in this fight. Will he be able to display the courage he yearns to have, and become truly manly?
Sanji vs Basco Shot (60% chance)
The chivalrous prince of the Strawhat crew takes on a huge, brutish, unmannered and possibly inpolite to women, alcoholic. Isn't Basco just the ideal man to get the chef steamed up. Here is one waiter who will need to deny the slurring Basco entry into his restaraunt. We'll see Sanji get pissed of by this brutish man, as he has many times in the past with bad customers at the baratie and rivals in his travels which will bring out his inner fire. and we all know what happens when fire meets alcohol.
Chopper vs Doc Q (100% chance)
This fight may possible respresent life vs death. The organic , youthful little critter known as Chopper locking horns with a decrepit, nihilistic Doctor of Death who has an obvious disregard for life. The pale horseman of death, Doc Q will gallop across the battlefield on his trusted horse, wilting all grass he is of a radius from. Chopper will need to formulate his battle plan swiftly, as Doc Q will focus his efforts on making sure there won't be a pulse.
Robin vs Caterina Devon (15% chance)
huntress and assassin
Brook vs Pizaro (15% chance)
both may possibly be from the kingdom of Brook's past's past. Also the rivalry between authorative figures of power and the artist, who sees what they truly are in their eyes. Or in this case, lack of eyes.
Franky vs Burgess
macho guys
or if theres a helmsman coming up
Helmsman vs Burgess
and then
Franky vs San Juan Wolf
