I believe that Shanks will be the final enemy of Luffy not Blackbeard who will die by a sickness.
Roger had a mortal disease and needed Crocus treatments and is possible that Whitebeard took the same disease in middle of the battle with Roger, this disease could go to Blackbeard and he would die (ironically) by a disease that he was destined to have.
@Massacre:
I've been thinking
Well, there's a first time for everything.
Kid will die in a lake and we will all love Oda.
@Fiasco.:
Not true, or atleast not proven to be true. The only emperor with a fleet crew we know off is WB. Shanks and the other Yonkou could easily have crews that can fit on the ship.
.
Whitebeard has an enormous crew that numbers over 1, 000. If the other Yonkou only had themselves and a few crew members then why isn't the New World ruled by Whitebeard alone? It's because the Yonkou all have massive pirate crews that pretty much equal each other.

No, it's because the others could have powerful but smaller pirate crews that rival WB's.
Quantity is different from Quality.
Mihawk is like Kanye West…ppl only scared of him bcuz hes kinda crazy and dangerous...hes only got 1 friend Jayz i mean Shanks no 2 mention hes really cocky too and nobody in the OP world likes him..mayb kanye has a long black sword too!!

Just look at the TBVA vs. Kuma. Or how Whitebeard's hordes of fodder pirates fell in Shanks' presence.

1. I don't understand, who is TBVA?
And that completely supports what i'm saying, Shanks didn't do much and was able to take out such a large amount of WB's pirates. I mean, you don't need a large crew to be strong.

i think rayleigh said to kuma that he should send luffy to the amazones because they should help him using haki
No, all of the Yonkou have enormous fleets. This is why they rule like Emperors. Otherwise the gov. wouldn't have much trouble at all taking them down. Also, I'd say that to survive in the New World, you'd have to be made of quality and there's no doubt in my mind that he has both. After all, we know that Ace was a 2nd Division commander and that Blackbeard was once under Whitebeard's flag. I think it would be obvious to assume that all of the Yonkou groups are full of many powerful pirates. Rockstar had a bounty of 94 million and no one was even moved by his announcement.
Anyway, Blackbeard taking out two Yonkou would certainly turn the world upside down.

It wasn't Silvers who was telling something to Kuma but Kuma was telling something to Silvers and Silvers didn't quite trust him.

Atleast you would like to believe that. All that i'm saying is there is no proof for this, and it could very well be incorrect. You simply base this theory on the fact that one of them is proven to have an enormous fleet. We don't know anything about two of them so how can you make these assumptions? For all we know WB has been around for a while, and Shanks and the other two Yonkou could've just arrived a few years back, that would explain the difference in crew size. Stop acting as if what you say is fact by basing it of things that you want to be true.

There's nothing pointing to the other 2 yonkou having huge fleets.
Also the fleet is not what makes them(Shanks & WB) yonkou.
Blackbeard's power is too overrated
@Fiasco.:
1. I don't understand, who is TBVA?
Thriller Bark Victims Association.
And yeah, I completely agree with you. That being said, I do think it's very likely that the 4 Emperors have huge fleets. I could be wrong, though, but that's what I'd put my money on.
@Zik:
There's nothing pointing to the other 2 yonkou having huge fleets.
Also the fleet is not what makes them(Shanks & WB) yonkou.
The crew is what makes them Yonkou you dunce.
My guess is that Kuma is Dragon's double agent. Kuma sent Luffy to the amazon's under Dragon's orders. I believe he told Silvers just what he did also stating that he has no idea about that plan or why.

Well, if the other Yonkou only had themselves and a small crew then they wouldn't be ruling like Emperors. Whitebeard would pretty much dominate the New World seeing as his crew would be so much larger with many heavy hitters and the World Gov. having the Marines and Shichibukai on their side wouldn't have so much trouble. So that's where I get the reasoning from. If Shanks and the other Emperors didn't have the strength and numbers then it wouldn't put the Yonkou in a deadlock with the Marines and Shichibukai.
@Massacre:
Shanks' credibility took a hit when he came blubbering onto Whitebeard's Dick. He fears Blackbeard, that's why he went out of his way to call off arguably Whitebeard's second strongest bitch against a 5 man crew. He is terrified that Blackbeard will dethrone Whitebeard.
You grossly overexaggerate Shanks argument but he was trying to get Whitebeard to understand the true nature of Blackbeard.
All your thousands = crap when one Kurozo crushes everything in sight.
What? Blackbeard had his hands full with Ace, although he was able to beat him in the end. If there was even one more person from Whitebeard's crew like Ace or just as strong he may very well have been defeated. Let alone adding Whitebeard into the equation.
Also, Luffy only has a handful. He'll get 1000 strong crew too before going for One Piece, amirite folks?
Last time I checked, Luffy's goal was being the Pirate King, not a Yonkou.
Why no one was impressed with Rockstar's bounty, if the next guy to join Straw Hats had the same price on his head, would Nami/Ussop/Sanji/Franky be impressed?
No.
What?
And the fact that Nami can handle Haki but Whitebeard's fodder can't is proof that most of his crew < shit.
Where do you get this? Are you talking about when Rayleigh used Haki? Why would Rayleigh aim at the people he's trying to help? He aimed Haki at everyone but the SH crew. So…..there you go.

I'm pretty sure everyone was hit by Rayleigh's haki attack. Sanji/Zoro/Luffy commented on it.
I thought they were saying something like "Did he really take out all of those guys?" and the other Pirate crews said something.
@Massacre:
He's stronger than Whitebeard.
That's why I call him overrated.
perhaps whitebeard is the strongest but he has the same illness as roger. perhaps he got it from him while fighting.
perhaps whitebeard is the strongest but he has the same illness as roger. perhaps he got it from him while fighting.
Well that would prove his strength even more, he's fighting with a sickness that is killing him and still hasn't taken an L.
On a side theory
I wouldn't be surprised that out of this whole war WB after becomes PK, just to die shortly after but leaving OP in a different place screwing over a lot of ppl after maybe a crew or two reaches Raftel.
Well, if the other Yonkou only had themselves and a small crew then they wouldn't be ruling like Emperors. Whitebeard would pretty much dominate the New World seeing as his crew would be so much larger with many heavy hitters and the World Gov. having the Marines and Shichibukai on their side wouldn't have so much trouble.

.
That is where you're wrong, the two "strength and numbers" don't always come together, and actually in OP they rarely are paired up. Also, who said WB had many heavy hitters? All we know of is 3 of them then WB himself. Once again, stop priding your beliefs as facts.
Blackbeard didn't trash Shanks. He scratched his eye. Now, this proves that he's very powerful indeed but there is no way that his crew could take on Shanks's. The Yonkou have enormous crews that are in the thousands while Blackbeard would only have a handful. I also doubt many people would go over to his side from Whitebeards crew because of their fierce loyalty to Whitebeard. So I really don't see Blackbeard becoming a Yonkou.
Also, so far, if anyone the top people in Shanks crew are Yassop, Lucky and Ben Beckham. Rocktar is still a rookie so he only has menial duties, at least from what we've seen.
You're forgetting somethings really important here.
1: Shanks had his both arms and was equal to Mihawk when they fought.
2: Teach didn't have any DF.
3: You're forgetting his Black Hole Attack witch makes that the number of his enemies don't matter.
Crushing The Shanks Pirate is something Teach can do on his own.
PS: To all the Mihawk Freaks who're saying that Mihawk is almost equal to Teach they should remember that Teach(without sword or DF) was equal to Shanks(with both arms, a sword and Haki) who at that time was equal to Mihawk.
I just want to say that Mihawk is way bellow Teach.

1: Shanks had his both arms and was equal to Mihawk when they fought. And now he is still considered to be one of the most pwoerful pirates in the world - even after losing one arm. Just goes to show how powerful Shanks really is.
2: Yes. With BB empowered, and Shanks (probably) not as strong as he was in his prime, BB would have an edge over Shanks. That being said, BB's DF negates DF-users, and also makes him more vulnerable to physical blows. Shanks does not use a DF, so BB does not have that advantage. Instead, BB's fruit makes him all the more vulnerable to Shanks attacks.
3: Don't worry, when it comes down to that, its always a one-on-one fight. And, nobody is gonna "suck" his enemy in a Black Hole and say "Game Over" just like that.
One more thing. Its true that BB was extraordinarily skilled in hand-to-hand combat even before his DF. And, equally resilient to damage. However, its not mentioned that he scarred Shanks without a sword or any other weapon. Actually, those scars dont look like they have been inflicted by bare hands. That BB could manage to scar Shanks in his prime speaks volumes about BB's combat ability, but it in no way undermines Mihawk's ability. What Shanks said to WB was that "this scar was not caused by Mihawk". That does not mean that Mihawk never managed to scar him. On the contrary, Shanks was considered a rival of Mihawk in swordfighting, not the other way round. meaning, even in his prime, Shanks' sword-skills were fractionally worse than Mihawk's. Now, from what we have seen of Shanks so far, he seems to favor using a sword. Now would you consider a person who can better an Yonkou, who prefers to use a sword, weak?
This may have been posted befor but im to lazy to read/find it…
My theory is that Nami was "sent" to Lolas mom by Kuma from Sabaoby Island.
I find this belivable just becase Nami needs like the rest of the strawhats to get stronger and what bettre way to do that then to train under her friend Lolas mother the strong pirate from the new world. I know most of ju will go with the "shes in the new world" but who knows where a pirate wants to sail... The other think that strenghten this theory is the Biblicard Nami resived from Lola and dont tell me its to soon for it to be used...
This is more like a feeling than a Theory but i think Ussop was sent to Elbaf so he can advance in his quest to becoming the strong warrior of the sea he dreams of becoming.
And i have another Theory about sogeking and that is that Ussop will some day become sogeking for real in an epic scene where sogeking the persona says goodbye to Ussop and tells him that he wont need him anymore becase he has grown so much so that he has become all of what sogeking stands for and is...
@Xai:

Pretty sure Oda stated in an SBS that even with a missing arm Shanks hasn't lost any of his power.

Since Teach could do it to an whole town, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do it to an entire fleet. I am pretty sure that if the guys in the town stayed in their home they would also been sucked into his Black Hole. You really thinks that Teach is more vulnerable than before? If he didn't had his DF do you think he would have survived Ace's Fire Spears?
If you compare Mihawk to Teach then yes, he is weak.
I didn't know where else to post this, but I was looking back through the Jango cover story, and in the last page of it I noticed Coby and Helmeppo walking by with Garp. I'm sure other people have already noticed and discussed this, but I thought it was cool and wanted to share it with the one or two other people like me who never noticed:

It's Whitebeard. I know that strength and numbers don't always go together but seeing as how this is Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, one would assume that his men aren't fodder like Kriegs men. Sure, it hasn't been flat out stated that pirates from Yonkou crews are more powerful than pirates on the level of Krieg's men or Foxy's crew, but the Yonkou are still able to stave off each other's crews as well as the World Government.
OK, so let me try and add some more facts to maybe shape this up for the both of us as I certainly don't want to seem like I'm just pulling stuff from the air.
So according to onepiece wikia that got it's info from the Yellow data book, Whitebeard's crew is split into 16 divisions with each division having 100 crewmembers. They are led by a division commander(ex. Ace). This gives us 1,600 men in Whitebeard's crew. Shanks and his crew alone couldn't stop all of these guys, and it was stated that the New World is ruled by four guys who rule like Emperors. This is what leads me to believe that these guys are pretty neck and neck since they are all opposing pirates assumedly heading for the same goal. Since the Yonkou are obviously powerful pirates, they must have crews that they trust. This, coupled with the size of Whitebeards crew, made me come to the conclusion that they must have crews of roughly equal size. Otherwise, it would be a lot easier to conquer them.
You're forgetting somethings really important here.
I haven't forgotten anything.
1: Shanks had his both arms and was equal to Mihawk when they fought.
2: Teach didn't have any DF.
3: You're forgetting his Black Hole Attack witch makes that the number of his enemies don't matter.
1. OK. What is the point here?
2. OK. Same question.
3. As I said before, Blackbeard had his hands full with Ace. If he was fighting someone else on Ace's level or higher as well as Ace then he might have been defeated.
Crushing The Shanks Pirate is something Teach can do on his own.
So you're saying that Blackbeard could defeat Shanks, Beckman, Lucky Roux, Yasopp, Rockstar and everyone else alone? I really don't agree with that.
PS: To all the Mihawk Freaks who're saying that Mihawk is almost equal to Teach they should remember that Teach(without sword or DF) was equal to Shanks(with both arms, a sword and Haki) who at that time was equal to Mihawk.
I just want to say that Mihawk is way bellow Teach.
Well, I'd like to say that that is a severe overstatement. Sure, Blackbeard was able to scratch Shanks head to head but that doesn't mean he was equal to him at the time. Also, Blackbeard has fought seriously once and we've seen only a glimpse of what Mihawk can do. It's almost impossible to compare the two really. We know that Mihawk is at least as strong at Shanks but more than most likely stronger than him. We also know that Blackbeard could scratch Shanks. So we know that Blackbeard has the ability to harm Shanks but nothing else.
I think that Hancock is being underestimated and will pwn all with her yet to be seen badass style of fighting.
This is just some might presumptuous bad theories I’m throwing around here…:
Before I start my bigger one, two random ones-
Now he goes the heap:
As Clover explained, the World Government (WG) was created after the kingdom- they may have been the enemies of that kingdom. That stuff is fairly plausible I guess (well, the latter sentence is).
I think that the ones with the will of D have something to do with the royal family of that Kingdom. Namely, I think that the Monkey family is directly related, if not the royal family.
If so, Monkey D. Dragon: the leader of the rebel group- the group that opposes the WG is doing what he does because he wants to get back at the ‘enemy’… because for some reason, a many years later- he has pride for the Kingdom that was destroyed/taken over by the WG. Possibly because their position should be rightfully his or because he doesn’t like their ideals.
Since Teach could do it to an whole town, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do it to an entire fleet. I am pretty sure that if the guys in the town stayed in their home they would also been sucked into his Black Hole. You really thinks that Teach is more vulnerable than before? If he didn't had his DF do you think he would have survived Ace's Fire Spears?
If you compare Mihawk to Teach then yes, he is weak.
You are missing the point here. Its not that BB can't suck Shanks into a Black Hole, its that he won't. Or rather, Oda won't make it happen that way. Now, I am not saying that I know Oda's mindset - it's just that if BB simply "sucks in" Shanks, it wouldn't be interesting. We may not know what Oda has up his sleeve, but we can be guaranteed that a BB-Shanks fight, if one does take place, will be interesting, and not one-sided. Hell, Ace-BB fight wasn't one-sided either. And, its obvious that Shanks is way more powerful than Ace.
As for sucking the rest of the fleet in - even that won't be necessary. You can rest assured that when and if BB challenges Shanks, it will be a one-on-one fight. None of the other Red Haired Pirates will butt in.
And yes, BB is more vulnerable to physical attacks than before. Thats a side-affect of Yami Yami no Mi. It makes him "absorb" more damage. BB only manages to shrug off this extra damage because he was extra-ordinarily resilient to beign with. His DF has nothing to do with him surviving any hit he recieves. Ace even remarks that why was BB being hurt when he was a logia.

Well I think that you are agreeing with me that Teach could easely take out Shanks and his crew even if it wouldn't be interresting.
About his vulnerability, spears are like swords. Are you saying that if Mihawk speared Teach with his sword before he got his DF, Teach wouldn't be hurt? Then I must say Shanks was very lucky to be alive after their fight.
I would just add that he feels more PAIN but now he can REGENERATE himself.

I would put Teach in WB's league, when you're saying"someone else on Ace's level or higher as well as Ace" who do you mean?
Yes Teach could take his whole crew.
It just mean that Teach has the ability to kill Shanks.
When Shanks came to see WB he didn't know that Teach eated the Yami Yami no Mi and still he knew that even without DF Teach would defeat Ace who got more strenght than Luffy and is an Fire Logia(in my opinion the greatest Logia Fruit after Thunder and Ice). I am not saying that Shanks is afraid of Teach but he will surely never chase him, he even when to the extent of fighting WB because he wouldn't call Ace back. That's why I think WB is the only one stronger than Teach.
Well I think that you are agreeing with me that Teach could easely take out Shanks and his crew even if it wouldn't be interresting.
Shank's Crew? Yes. Shanks himself? Maybe, but not without one helluva epic fight.
There are too many unknown factors here. We do not know the full extent of Shanks powers. We do not know how losing an arm has affected Shanks. (Oda stated it made no difference whatsoever).
BB has a specific advantage over DF users. Shanks is not a DF user. For all we know, as far as Shanks is concerned, BB is just some guy who can absorb things, and takes in even more damage than normal. Let's not forget WB and Shanks are powerful enough to "split the heavens". All we know is that Shanks and BB had clashed before, and BB had scratched Shanks. But that doesn't mean BB defeated Shanks. In fact, can you imagine how popular/famous BB would have been if he could have managed to defeat a Yonkou in combat? He probably wouldn't have been an unknown pirate to the WG.
Mind you, Shanks does see BB as a serious threat. He does consider BB to be at-par with Yonkous, or atleast just below Yonkou level. He realizes that BB has grander plans, and plans to dethrone WB himself. Shanks definitely is not taking BB lightly (unlike WB).
About his vulnerability, spears are like swords. Are you saying that if Mihawk speared Teach with his sword before he got his DF, Teach wouldn't be hurt? Then I must say Shanks was very lucky to be alive after their fight.
I would just add that he feels more PAIN but now he can REGENERATE himself.
First off, if anyone spears/stabs Teach, he would get hurt unlike a logia user. You cannot hurt a normal Logia user physically by piercing, blows etc (unless you use Haki, or whatever the hell Rayleigh did to Kizaru). But, BB's logia is a special logia. In spite of being a logia user BB takes in more damage because of the nature of his DF. This was stated in the Banaro Island fight. BB would take more damage now from an attack, than before. The reason BB does not fall even after getting burnt/beaten up, is because he is insanely resilient.
And, I do not recall Yami Yami no Mi having regenerative powers.

I know he is insanely resilient.Teach was talking about PAIN.
When Teach toke the spears out, did you saw holes on his shest?
And if you did, where they still there at the end of the fight?
Teach may take damage, but he still has a Logia. If he throws out darkness, that darkness is a part of him, he can reform andall. Pretty much nothing to argue about with Teach's powers temselves. The fruit is pretty straight forward; he is powerful and everyone else is DEAD.
I think Shanks is more concerned with the effect WB's death would have. If te strongest pirate falls, what will happen? For the first time in years, suddenly the scale has tipped in the WG's favour and now the Marines have more freedom to more. Luffy is fortunately toppling the scales in favor of the Yonkou right now, who seem to pretty much represent the pirates of old.
Overall, from what I gather Shanks seems to be protecting piracey in general, but as we've seen that piracey all depends on one guy remaining alive. However, if someone as strong as, or stronger, takes over WB's position before piracey is no more, piracey is saved. Shanks must know he can do nothing to fill that position himself from his past experience with BB.

Are you saying that if WB died, the strongest pirate will be Teach?
Well, it's also what I think but we have yet to see Jinbei, Kaidou and The female Yonkou.
No, I'm saying he needs to be replaced with someone wh has an intereast in piracey and is equal to or stronger then WB was. ¬_¬'
No, I'm saying he needs to be replaced with someone wh has an intereast in piracey and is equal to or stronger then WB was. ¬_¬'
You don't think Teach has an intereast in piracey?
To me he's even more a pirate than Shanks and WB.
And who do you think is equal to or stronger than WB?
Somthing I dug up from Spoiler thread:
Blackbeard: Ha….ha…I told you…!! The darkness sucks in everything from bullets to blades to punches to fire to lightning…!! I can’t just let attacks go by like you all. I take damage just as a normal human or more, but in taking that risk I gain something!! There are things I can suck in!!!
He does take a lot of damage. Maybe more than a normal person, in his own words. He can redirect the damage back to the enemy, but he does take the damage and suffer from it nonetheless. So, the higher the damage the more hurt he will be. Once his threshold of damage tolerance is exceeded, he will be in some serious trouble. Its just that his threashold of damage tolerance is freakishly high.

@Xai:
Pain and damage are different things.
When someone punches you in the face, the damage is a broken nose and there is the pain. Teach will feel more pain because of his DF but do you think his whole face is gonna break?

Hmm… Who do I think? Right now, even the other Yonkou, strong as they be, on level with WB they may be, but none of them could pull this off as when WB falls, the Marines and Shichibukai will give them too much hassle. If they were to take over? One of them would have to get exceptionally strong - fast! On the one hand, BB's chance to get WB's position is there, on the other, a third party could also take up the chance too. Expect a power struggle if and when WB falls.
BB being more a pirate then Shanks + WB? Very true, however considering the Yonkou are locked in stalemate it could simply be their restricted on what they can get away with right now. BB on the other hand has, or has had, the freedom to do things.

Something like that, yes. He takes more damage. "Pain" is just a sensation. It won't kill you or harm you other than making you very very uncomfortable.
Its like, if your leg hurts you will have trouble walking. But you can walk in spite of feeling uncomfortable. But if you leg is broken, or worse, amputated, then you simply can't walk.

Its like, if your leg hurts you will have trouble walking. But you can walk in spite of feeling uncomfortable. But if you leg is broken, or worse, amputated, then you simply can't walk.
You made me watch the whole episode again but it's O.K. cuz the battle is great.
Like I said before Teach was talking about PAIN.
