Ummm I know this is kinda far-fetched… but I think WB may die before he fights anyone (due to his illness) and then It would leave a position to become and Emperor open. Though I am not sure who would take his place, I think this could be a very viable storyline especially since fighting an ill WB would not give Luffy as much credibility as defeating a healthy emperor. Also, there is some foreshadowing of this happening when Shanks tells WB in the meeting that he was protecting the future.
Whitebeard's fate (possible spoiler)

I wonder what happens when a 5th person enters the "New World"
Well the only emporers are those so powerful they have huge crews as powerful as Zoro each of themm at least. Since Luffy doesn't live like an emperor and wouldn't probably want to(unless there's a musician playing for him :P) I doubt he could achieve 5th Emperor level, and if he did another one challenge him probably. Even if one was defeated, it'd probably be the weakest, and be the unknown one that isn't Franky's dad.

It could be that they are the unintended guard of the one piece (or Raftel). I don't think they would like anyone (instead of themselves) to become the Pirate King because of they wouldn't be the strongest pirates anymore. And so they are standing in Luffy's way and he is bound to fight them (and yes, that means Shanks too. :P)

In the case of Whitebeards premature death due to illness it doesn't necessarily have to mean there'll be a new one entering the New World to take his place. Atleast not early on. Consider it: Whitebeard dies, a massive crew is left around with no apparent leader, they fight among themselves ( or get a leader at once ), but isn't it more logical that the other three'd do their very best to grab some of the good crew while at the same time absorbing what he had? Simply showing up with a new emperor feels a tad unrealistic to me… then again, Luffy showing up and bashing his way through doesn't... heh. Anyways, politically speaking it seems more realistic for the remaining three to grab what they can before someone else does. Unpolitically speaking there'll still be alot of fighting and I imagine it could be comparable to a civil war waiting for a fourth to come again and fill the power-vacuum. Whitebeards death would unsettle the current checkmate I believe is in place ( just like Luffy and/or Blackbeards appearances will ).

There doesn't have to be 4 emperors.
There wasn't a committee in the UN which stated that there are 4 emperors designated for the New World and they will have the land divided between them.
If a person strong enough to be an emperor enters the scene, there will be 5 emperors. If one dies, there will be 3 emperors (unless his first mate becomes captain or something).
Therefore, if WB dies, either his crew with a new leader will become the new emperor, or there will be 3 emperors.
-
Won't Shanks become the next after WB?
-
Shanks is already one ;)

Nah, the 4 Emperors are the 4 emperors of the New World.
Garp said that there were formed the other 2 powers to counterbalance the 4 Emperors. If one were to fall, the 2 other powers will make a move against the other 3. If there were to add another one, they will lose and the pirate side will get OP.
I think. -
Guys, Jess and Marco were introduced for a reason, and it wasn't to show their relative position compared to Ace. If Whitebeard dies before One Piece ends, Marco will become Emperor.

I see 5 fates for Whitebeard at least:
1- He dies of sickness first.
2- Blackbeard kills him or is respoinble for his death.
3- Luffy defeats him.
4- He gets the same fate as Roger
5- He does become pirate king, but is beaten and someone else claims his title.I think of those… 1-3 are most likely to happen. Though not in the plain manner I've written them down as.
-
the only thing that Whitebeard will turn out to be is that someone he trusts will kill him instead…......

I think that it could be this way: Blackbeard will kill him (like in nmb.2). Than he will become emperror. Then the fight Luffy vs. Teach will be one of the most important in all OP.
Or: Luffy will fight with him and it will be propably last fight in OP.
What do you think guys? -
Blackbeard wants to become a Shichibukai so why should he now become an emperor?
-
Hm….you know everything is possible in One Piece
If he realize that being emperror is greater than shichibukai he could do something like i write before. It's only my new idea. -
He isn't exactly aiming to be a shichibukai, as Shanks said. He just wants the top.
-
He will get a heartattack, right after he beats down Luffy, who then pretends to finish him with some awesome wtf move. Luffy will of course power up from eating his corpse.
-
But he fights strong pirates in order to show his strength to the WG and to become a Shichibukai. I think this means that he isn't strong enough right now to beat whitebeard and maybe he wants to use the WG and other Shichibukais to beat him (If becoming an emperor is his aim to begin with). so your theory could be right if he fights whitebeard afterwards :happy:
-
Doesnt Luffy technically become an Emperor when he enters the New World?
I dont know if Im right, but from my understanding, only 4 pirate crews were on the New World? I'm probably wrong though.
-
Their are many pirates in the new world. Think of it as a souped up version of the first half of the GL.
-
well i just came up with more to add to the theory… we havent seen Buggy and Alvida in a long long time... and i don't really think its possible since the crew is such a joke... but its also inevitable that Buggy and Luffy must meet up again...
maybe he will be a major opponent in the new world.
I doubt there is someone good that will take WB's place through force. My guess was that the WG would declare Luffy the new emperor when WB dies and they realize Luffy has gotten there. -
There are thousands of pirates in the new world, luffy is no different.
