Thinking better, Sakazuki being the final enemy makes sense, since his power is magma and that symbolizes a demon.
I think in his case it symbolizes Hawaiian shirts.

The last arc is going to be a figth the world hasnt seen untill its going to happen… Eventually, all villians we
ve met are going to participate
It's sure one strange way to hype the final villain, make him run away from previous villains. BB and his full crew run away from Akainu and avoid any kind of confrontation.Oda portrayed BB as inferior to Akainu for a reason.It's like Doflamingo and his full crew would run away from Hody Jones.

Blackbeard was portrayed as someone smart enough to know that having a confrontation with Akainu (and whoever else may have been on that ship) would've been a bad idea at that time.
Yes, let's compare the likes of Akainu and Blackbeard to Hody Jones. In the flashback currently ongoing in the manga, Doflamingo and his crew have "ran away" from Vice Admiral Tsuru multiple times.

We can hit you with a bat of knowledge in the head and you would still not understand a thing.
Oh look, more of this stupid "I need a stoic badass that just stands there and takes every fight and attack coming his way for a final villain." Because god forbid a villain actually biding his time and gathering his strength until he's ready.
The fact that Blackbeard goes so wholy against the grain of what a master villain is supposed to be is what makes him such an obvious candidate.
FOR TEACH
FOR AKAINU

Blackbeard killed Whitebeard, who owned Akainu.
See? I can use troll logic too.
@Cyan:
FOR TEACH
- Is literally Evil Luffy
- Has two of the most powerful fruits in the world
- Responsible for the death of Whitebeard, so effectively the death of the old era
- Openly declared war on the world
- Will kill Shanks
- Has team of Evil Strawhats, with Zoro, Usopp, and Chopper having set-in-stone match ups
- IS NAMED AFTER THE MOST FAMOUS PIRATE OF ALL TIME
- Embodies negative liberty while Luffy embodies positive liberty
FOR AKAINU
- Errr….
- Uhhhh........
- Killed Ace?
- and…....eh.....
- stoic cookie cutter badass character that we've seen countless times?????
- appeals to the all-important fascist part of the one piece fanbase
- he has a decent design?
Even then it was because of Blackbeard capturing Ace and handing him to marines in the first place which makes it more of BB achievement then Akainu's .
I did find it cute how the red dawg has a little bonsai garden though.
More of that, and less stone face please.

I love how so many people are hammering why Blackbeard will be the final villain into your brain yet you are still like " bu…..but Oda ....po.....portrated BB ........as inferior to Akainu fo......for a reason ..... I want more of that stoic one-dimensional badass character to be the final villain .....not that funny looking character who has been build up more than any other villain in the series " .
Dude you have officially reached the rank of Darth 2.0 in my book .
sorry for bringing this up again i'm too late to reply to this but i found some free time so hey why the hell not
@hosemisnuba:
Here is where I disagree. Blackbeard has had far more build up than the World Government as a main antagonist. He's been part of the story longer, done far more story wise, and has had far more screen time.
c'mon every statement in this quote is evidently wrong , even though we came to know about the term World Government later on in the story the WG as an organization was there from the first chapter via marines by showing roger's death , the build up was there from the very beginning
and you can't possibly be serious about BB doing more story wise , oda keeps showing how corrupted the WG is literally in every single arc ! how is that even comparable to BB screen time or how much his input was in the story ?
the WG is far bigger organization than a single crew they're involved in every sub story in the series they're way more perceptive than any entity in the story they're the real threat not only with their man power and weapons but with their world wide political and cultural control with 5 master mind geezers pulling the strings from behind the scenes
@Monkey:
I say that's exactly what happens to mentor/idol characters in Hero's Quest stories all the fucking time and you seriously need to read/watch more things if this surprises you in the slightest.
you completely ignored the fact that both those mentors are also the MCs' rivals , you think of them as a hyping device for a less built up characters that one of them (shilliew) has never interacted with both of the addressed protagonists and still you apply the same concept that you ignored first (build up) to prove that the BB pirates are more worthy of being the final villains !
I mean you seem to think this is a zinger so I'm guessing you really are that unread.
speaking of which haven't you ever stumbled on a well known shonen manga in which the final opponent wasn't the most built up ?
and again the WG had more build up than the BB pirates and the final war most likely will be directed at the WG as an organization for historical reasons more than it being an individual struggles
you completely ignored the fact that both those mentors are also the MCs' rivals
This does not whatsoever change a thing.
Shanks in particular looms eight thousand times larger as a mentor/idol than as a rival.
Add Yasopp into the Red Hair crew factor for even more status as doomed.
, you think of them as a hyping device for a less built up characters
I'm glad that the anti-BB faction believes that the manga is going to end next chapter, because apparently not being built up at the moment means they will never be built up in spite of ample indication that they will be so.
that one of them (shilliew) has never interacted with both of the addressed protagonists
If only the manga would last for years and years to come! Maybe then Oda would be able to flesh out the thing he has been building in the background! Alas, the manga ends soon just like Naruto apparently in the universe you live in.
and still you apply the same concept that you ignored first (build up) to prove that the BB pirates are more worthy of being the final villains !
Probably because they are still in the process of being built up if you couldn't tell by my sarcasm.
speaking of which haven't you ever stumbled on a well known shonen manga in which the final opponent wasn't the most built up ?
Ah but I'm not just talking about other series, but GOOD examples.
If you'd like to bring up crappy final villains like that thing Naruto pulled out of it's ass go ahead but that would be very very much hurting your side of the argument, unless you think Oda sucks.
and again the WG had more build up
The World Government is an organization, not a person like Blackbeard. As I said, the Gorosei actually have less build up than BB.
Besides honestly you don't even know what the fuck I even mean by "build up". We mean how they're being groomed symbolically and narratively to fill a certain role.
Funnily enough I've CONSTANTLY posted about what sort of role the Gorosei have been built up towards. Sure am getting tired of repeating myself!
than the BB pirates and the final war most likely will be directed at the WG as an organization for historical reasons more than it being an individual struggles
The "WG as an organization" is not a final villain.
Who is the final villain Moud, name them.

Yep! It's like people insisting Shanks was Luffy's dad instead of Dragon.
It's sure one strange way to hype the final villain, make him run away from previous villains. BB and his full crew run away from Akainu and avoid any kind of confrontation.Oda portrayed BB as inferior to Akainu for a reason.It's like Doflamingo and his full crew would run away from Hody Jones.
So based on this, Luffy running away from Smoker during the initial confrontations make him inferior and doesn't qualify him to be the main character of the series at all?!
Akainu is a hax character with ridiculous strength who doesn't make too many mistakes… which makes him a typical villain. Since Oda isn't your typical cliched writer and trusting him that he won't be putting such a stagnant character as the final villain, we can assume that Blackbeard will be the final opponent whom he can develop into someone outrageous throughout the series.
We need to clear something, BB din't kill WB, he killed almost dead WB that would still die in the end from the wounds he got before that. He just made a bit faster. You're crazy if you think WB would live if it wasn't for Blackbeard.
How did WB beat Akainu? Two hits from Akainu left WB with half a head and a huge hole in him. Akainu doesn't even have any visible wounds from his battle with WB.
Uh.. most of what I would have liked to say was already said but.. Akainu seems like a more fitting match up for another marine. a good marine. Koby or Smoker will lead the marines one day right? akainu cant be there and it would feel much better if they were the ones to take him out.
about blackbeard. he's like an evil Luffy and that have been foreshadowed and hinted at so many times that I am baffled at how some people just don't want to get it.
did you read Mock town? that whole freaking arc screamed that Blackbeard is the opposite of Luffy.
and why is this guy arguing that Akainu is stronger? who cares who's stronger, for all we care Blackbeard could have gotten way more powerful during the timeskip training his two powerfull as hell devil fruits.
and to be honest even if Akainu was more powerful, that by no means make him fitting to be the final villain.
Final Villain will spawn from the empty teeth slot of Blackbeard.It will look like a Frog and its going to be a gay man(okama?)

Wow, look at all that blood running down Akainu's face. Truly, it's irrevocable evidence that he wasn't injured or anything from fighting Whitebeard because that would be bad. REAL final villains tank attacks from the world's strongest man like they're nothing. Not like the wimpy coward Blackbeard, who has the audacity to bleed when he takes a bisento to the shoulder and a quake punch to the face.
I can tank some blood loss, and I'm not one piece character with insane endurance. WB did nothing on Akainu, the guy was good to go in battle and still fight. WB was going down the grave with each minute.

Exactly! since he took out those life support medical equipments before even going into war.

Why does your argument keep changing. First it was "Whitebeard didn't do any damage to Akainu because he had no visible wounds." Then it was "Akainu was bleeding, but that means nothing." For fuck's sake, this isn't that Enies Lobby gag when Chimney and Kokoro got only a nosebleed when the Sea Train crashed.

http://www.mangapanda.com/103-47298-6/one-piece/chapter-575.html
I bet Akainu took no damage when Whitebeard hit him with two quake punches despite coughing up blood, because he could still fight. After a nice, long break mind you. But by going with your logic, I can assume Lucci certainly didn't beat Luffy to half death because he could keep fighting. Luffy didn't almost die every time he fought Crocodile, because he could keep fighting. In fact, every villain actually did nothing to Luffy except splash some red paint on him because he could still fight afterwards.
Well if I could have my way then Enel would be the final villain.
Wait, JaxSazz got banned?
If you hadn't already checked his most recent posts, he had some debate/arguments in the News thread about "SJWs"(I don't mean shonen jump weekly, unfortunately), and so he got the boot.

Luffy was out after each of those if I remember. Then he received treatment to go on. And Akainu was digging tunnels while Whitebeard death didn't take much time. But it is a fight no one agree on what to take from it.

This fight is interpreted by everyone in their own way. But even if Blackbeard was weaker than Akainu that doesn't say much about his current level. Just look at Luffy one-shooting pacifistas. Oda can make as strong as he wants since he got to train the most destructive paracemia evr and his dark power. Two powers he was just getting the hang off.
Simple power level is a bad idea to compare Blackbeard and Akainu since the timeskip make Oda able to do anything with it.
And we don't know what he could do stockpilling devil fruits. Either giving his crew cherripicked powerful fruits, building an armory, going Syndrome on the sea (too much of a longshot), or keeping them himself.
He must be stockpilling up his forces just like the WG at the moment, I wonder how will Oda handle the seas ahead
Is anyone betting his account already?? Or still playing around… Come on guys, take it to the Vagabond-level!

You have long established that you are both a marine / Akainu wanker and incapable of following basic "sequential art" ( remember the time where somebody had to explain who was the main character in One Piece to you ? Haha good times . Just shows your ability to follow "sequential art" ) .

… Sure. I will just follow the scripture then. Proverbs 26:4 is the way to go, I say.
It's definitely gonna be Akainu and the Gorosei (probably Kong as well) :happy:

Haha goddamn, even Darth is tired of this dude.
From now on, Ubiq aside, I think I'm just going to start banning anyone who seriously takes up an Aikanu or Blackbeard avatar.
Seriously picking one of those characters to represent themselves generally shows bad taste and usually an anti-social mindset thats just going to lead to them fighting with everyone on the board. They're almost always awful.
Also the 50 or so people that have some variant on Portgas D. Ace, though there's less of those than there used to be.
@Monkey:

Mr. King, I enjoy a little bit of verbal fencing. I enjoy heated arguments. I thrive on flame wars. Occasionaly, I even like trolling and sarcasm.
I can argue that side characters could have more spotlight instead of Straw Hats.
I can argue that the fight between Whitebeard and Akainu should be considered a tie instead of crushing defeat for the latter, basing that on the fact that they both dealt heavy damage to each other and were still capable of figthing.
I can even argue that authoritarism is better then democracy, basing that on weightning effectiveness of the form of goverment against it's inherent dangers, for example.
Lack of attention to detail and sequential art annoys me greatly. Especially if we are talking about something as obvious as Whitebeard dealing damage to Akainu.

I picked him up because he was enjoyably badass and bastard. And because I really, really, really disliked poochie.
And because I couldn't find good high quality shot of Afro Sengoku. I've been thinking about one from chapter zero, but that would require effort, and I'm a lazy bastard.
Also, I have to ask, why do you always misspell Akainu in this very specific way? It's one of those things I feel have some story behind it, and it's been bugging me.
I'm surprised so many are saying Blackbeard. I mean, yes, it makes sense to a small degree, but there are still questions I have that make me doubt it. Ok. As Whitebeard said, there will be a war after One Piece is found. To me, the person who finds One Piece should be considered the Pirate King. Blackbeard wants to be PK too. So some of you are saying that he's going to let Luffy find One Piece, become PK, and then try to take it from him? I guess that's plausible, but not practical (s as far as BB know, OP is the ultimate power). It would just make more sense that the SHs and BB pirates meet and fight over OP on Raftel than it does the SHs finding OP, Luffy becoming PK, leaving Raftel, and then being confronted by BB and crew after the fact. With all of BB's talk about fate and stuff, it makes more sense for them to meet at the same place at the same time to claim the same treasure/title.
The war that WB referred to is likely referring to the PK/allies vs the WG, Marines, Cipher Pol, Pacifistas, and any other allies that they may have (pirates or otherwise) that we don't know of yet. It is possible for there to be a build up of other tensions between the SHs and the WG/Marines (there's still the Reverie), so only seeing the BB crew as their final competition might be premature. I still believe the Gorosei (who I believe represent the WG symbol?) aren't just regular people and can't see them giving up power while the Revolutionaries and SHs disclose what they've learned. To me, I'll stick with the Marines/WG/allies vs the SHs/Revolutionaries and their allies. Luffy vs Akainu, Zoro vs Fujitora, Sanji vs Kizaru, and I guess Jinbei vs Ryokugyu (or some combination) is probably going to happen and if it does, it'll be after they've found OP (when they're all at their strongest) by the end of the series. Yes, I know this took a few ass pulls to make my point, but I just can't see Luffy fighting BB over OP at the end of the story when I think it's very discovery and acquisition by Luffy will kick off the last war that WB talked about.

Blackbeard: Oh, Strawhat got the OP and became Pirate King before me? Well I guess I'll just give up then. It's not like I'm a sneaky, opportunistic pirate who steals things and generally doesn't play by the rules. Like letting others do the dirty work and then swooping in to reap the benefits.
Also, your point that the war will only have two sides is moot, considering that Blackbeard has already shown up to crash the party once in Marineford. What's stopping him from doing it again?
I'm surprised so many are saying Blackbeard. I mean, yes, it makes sense to a small degree,
So you haven't read the thread have you.
but there are still questions I have that make me doubt it. Ok. As Whitebeard said, there will be a war after One Piece is found. To me, the person who finds One Piece should be considered the Pirate King. Blackbeard wants to be PK too.
Why does Blackbeard care what you think qualifies one as the Pirate King.
So some of you are saying that he's going to let Luffy find One Piece, become PK, and then try to take it from him?
The One Piece involves opening ancient secrets, probably lots of them.
It's not going to be one distinct thing that Blackbeard yanks directly out of Luffy's hand.
I guess that's plausible, but not practical (s as far as BB know, OP is the ultimate power). It would just make more sense that the SHs and BB pirates meet and fight over OP on Raftel than it does the SHs finding OP, Luffy becoming PK, leaving Raftel, and then being confronted by BB and crew after the fact.
Why does it even matter when exactly Blackbeard pilfers what he wants from Raftel or whoever takes it away from there? The point is he does and becomes even more dangerous.
With all of BB's talk about fate and stuff, it makes more sense for them to meet at the same place at the same time to claim the same treasure/title.
Yes Blackbeard's mysterious talk of fate certainly doesn't qualify him for the destined awakening of ancient secrets war storyline that takes place after Raftel.
The war that WB referred to is likely referring to the PK/allies vs the WG, Marines, Cipher Pol, Pacifistas, and any other allies that they may have (pirates or otherwise) that we don't know of yet.
The leaders of the government have not been depicted as final villain material.
Their involvement in the war is unquestionable. So much so that literally every Blackbeard supporter doesn't deny it.
The Gorosei are clearly anti-ancient weapon waking up, so explain to me how the WG embodies the dangerous side of the ancient secrets.
They don't.
Unless you think meathead Akainu is going to pull a coup.
It is possible for there to be a build up of other tensions between the SHs and the WG/Marines (
What the heck are you talking about lol.
They are already deathly enemies, this is in fact one of the big problems with this talk. The conflict between pirates and government already exists. Everyone more or less already knows the WG are jerks.
What on Raftel is going to change anything?
so only seeing the BB crew as their final competition might be premature.
Nobody has only seen the BB's as being involved in the final war.
I still believe the Gorosei (who I believe represent the WG symbol?)
Didn't they literally explain that symbol as being the Blues and Grand Line?
aren't just regular people and can't see them giving up power while the Revolutionaries and SHs disclose what they've learned.
1. Of course they aren't regular. Yours truly believes them to have been around since the blank century.
2. Disclose what? That the WG are jerks? What a surprise revelation.
To me, I'll stick with the Marines/WG/allies vs the SHs/Revolutionaries and their allies. Luffy vs Akainu, Zoro vs Fujitora, Sanji vs Kizaru, and I guess Jinbei vs Ryokugyu (or some combination) is probably going to happen and if it does, it'll be after they've found OP (when they're all at their strongest) by the end of the series.

So you don't think there's anything gray about the ancient history. You still think it's black and white. You missed Rayleigh.
Didn't I just say something about Blackbeard avatar bearers being dense?
Also, I have to ask, why do you always misspell Akainu in this very specific way? It's one of those things I feel have some story behind it, and it's been bugging me.
Same reason as Urogue/Urouge, Jinbe/Jimbei, Usopp/Ussop, Frieza/Freeza. It's how it was spelled at one point, or how it sounds in my head, or I just can't keep the vowels straight, so its how I write it. I'm sure there's other characters I do it to as well.
In my head I pronounce it Eye-kahn-u, so I spell it that way, even though that's wrong, and after these years thats just how my eye interprets it.
Yo, possible plot hole that I'd like if someone addressed. So the WG is anti-change, anti-ancient weapon, keep the status quo no matter what even if it means continuing the conflict of Marines vs Pirates.
So why did they give Spandam the go ahead to kidnap Robin? The last thing they want to do is break the balance of power, no? Come to think of it, why did they okay the War of the Best? I guess that was something the Marines did behind their backs? Okay? But i remember specifically a scene where they okayed Spandam's mission.
That's all, carry on with your Akainu wanking.
