Honestly, I don't see Whitebeard winning this one…This is all part of Blackbeard's plan, and I think that it was meticulously thought out. Blackbeard and the WG would never do something this big unless they are pretty sure that they would win.
After the war, then I see the WG starting a worldwide manhunt against pirates in general. Strong WG dogs and ridiculously powerful pirates showing up around every corner in the NW, sound dangerous to me.
It would be interesting to see what Ace will do after Whitebeard either dies or gets captured. I doubt that Whitebeard will let themselves get killed for no reason to save him. It's also interesting to see how the supernovas will fair against the manhunt, Who will replace Blackbeard if he leaves the Shichibukai position(the chances of that are very high), I doubt that all supernovas would decline especially if the offers are good.
That's just what I think, nothing new here just ranting...
