It would actually be kind of funny if there does turn out to be a villain at the end literally named "World Government".
And even funnier if he was actually not involved with the WG at all.
"ITS PRONOUNCED WHARL GONUNEMEN, THE SPELLING IS COINCIDENCE!!!"
"Whatever World Government"
"I WILL DESTROY THE WORLD!!!!"
It's pretty much confirmed that there will be a final war after Luffy have obtain One Piece and become the Pirate King. Which means that Blackbeard won't be the final villain although he will probably be the strongest villain Luffy ever faced. So Akainu is probably the final villain in name.

Or, you know, Blackbeard can fight in the war.
How is it even confirmed?

What I mean is, it can go in many different ways. Sure, we were promised a massive battle, but Luffy doesn't have to be a deciding factor in beating WG. If it even gets beaten in the end. We have Revolutionaries who were first introduced around the time Blackbeard was, and Oda has been building them more and more over the years. There's a good chance Luffy isn't going to hog all the glory or fight every boss.
Why are we even sure SH will draw different conclusions than Roger pirates have. Of course, the cirumstance may force them to fight WG, but what if even Robin admits it would have been better if they never discovered the true history?
If SH get to Raftel first, they will become BB's most important target, that much is inevitable. All the other possibilities are pretty much open.
How is it even confirmed?
It's confirmed in two ways.
1. In-universe, Whitebeard said that a war will erupt when One Piece is found. The quote was: "Sengoku. Your World Government is afraid. Afraid of the coming war that will engulf the world!!!" And we have no reason to believe he was an unreliable character.
2. Out-of-universe, Oda said that, "One thing that motivates me to keep drawing One Piece is that I want to draw the last chapter. The last chapter is amazing! I imagine a final chapter that will make the Marineford arc look like nothing." Yes, it's an obvious hook, but it's still the author declaring that he'll make Marineford look like nothing in the final "chapter" of One Piece (I interpret this to be arc) How would he do so? Consult Whitebeard's quote.

I think he does, for a few reasons. He's the son of Dragon, why bother forming that plot thread if Luffy's not going to be involved with Dragon at some point? The easiest way of making that happen is in the comeuppance of the World Government with Luffy fighting with the Revolutionaries. Luffy battling the government and the revolutionaries battling the government don't have to be separate - Luffy can also just take out a major target and be a deciding factor.
I'm not sure why the supremely evil government doesn't need to overthrown, but it's an interesting thought. It's just how things have been done in this series, a precedent has been set. Evil dynasties get overthrown and reformed. I think it's partly why characters like Sengoku exist: to have honest good-natured people have major qualms with the World Government, and that plants seeds in the reader's minds to want them defeated.
Why are we even sure SH will draw different conclusions than Roger pirates have. Of course, the cirumstance may force them to fight WG, but what if even Robin admits it would have been better if they never discovered the true history?
I think I have to ask a question here to lead to answer to yours: What would it accomplish if they DON'T draw different conclusions? I think the entire point of coming to a different conclusion is to finally solve what happened in the Void Century.
I think it's partly why characters like Sengoku exist: to have honest good-natured people have major qualms with the World Government, and that plants seeds in the reader's minds to want them defeated.
I'm not sure that Sengoku really fits that bill.
He feels closer to a grey zone than Aokiji for instance.
Or the far more extreme idealism of Coby
Ignoring who the final villain for luffy is, I would see the 5 gorosei take part of the final battle somehow. I don't think they will just step aside without doing nothing, and their scars show they are not strangers to battles. Dragon, koala, ivankov, sabo, new revo guy(crows) vs the 5 gorosei, maybe?
The 5 gorosei could have DFs inspired from 5 gods, mythical zoans.
I'm not sure that Sengoku really fits that bill.
He feels closer to a grey zone than Aokiji for instance.

Fits the bill of giving readers reasons to want the WG overthrown? Or fits the bill of honest and good-natured?
I'll go with the second considering what else you brought up. Good-natured is too kind, yeah. The whole eradicating bloodlines thing. But I think the reason I (and readers? Can't say) can empathize with him is he's just doing his job and doesn't go overboard. And he seems fair-minded and can even respect pirates if they've earned it. He was grey but he's certainly "white" now if you get me.
@Shobu:
Or means Sakazuki's Haki is stronger than Marco's and Jozu's. Just as implied by Pica's last resort with Zoro.
Pica is a paramecia, not a logia. And you are telling me that Akainu recovered his shoulders with haki ? Can you can heal yourself with haki ?
Then how Aokiji lost his leg and arm ? I actually have no idea.
Yes, he very clearly was holding back
Yeah, but my point is "was Mihawk at full power against Luffy ?" He obviously wasn't.
And here a page of the fight
http://i8.mangareader.net/one-piece/561/one-piece-896877.jpg
I don't see how he would go all out, he's obviously telling Luffy with some kind of "fear haki" that he shouldn't attack him if he doesn't want to lose his arms. As Zoro did against Monet.
We just don't know if he used haki, as I said above, we have no idea how to wreck someone's arm or leg.
I don't say he didn't use haki, but in my opinion when he said "i won't hold back" it meant he was gonna use his big black sword, the one he didn't use against Zoro because he was holding back. He even says right after the thing about redhair
http://i4.mangareader.net/one-piece/560/one-piece-857169.jpg
"Will he somehow escape from my black blade ?" Is it just a figure of speech or is the sword cursed or something like Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu ? Remember this ?
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/1/17/Zoro_vs_Kitetsu_curse.png/revision/latest?cb=20130511091554&path-prefix=fr
My point here is that he is talking about his big sword and not use haki or destroy the island ( as a former rival of Shanks - a yonkou - he can probably do that ).
I think that is a valid hypothesis especially from a literary standpoint, it's a reference to how he didnt take zoro seriously at first and then used his blade to attack him and he swung at him pretty hard but didnt chase him obsessively like smoker.
I think mihawk has more to show definitely and with luffy being unable to beat a pacifista pre timeskip, I think a zoned in mihawk would have used some more named attacks IIRC to try and kill him there's a difference between holding back and going completely into your well.

That's not Mihawk using "fear" haki, something that was never mentioned in the series.
That was Luffy using Color of Observation, possibily ofr the first time. Mihawk was so completly serious (he was going to easily cut off Luffy's arm) that his killing intent was easily felt by Luffy, someone who was just taking is first steps in haki.
It's kind of interesting how massively useful Buggy's devil fruit really is.
Wonder what it would be like if it was awakened?

You can be right, but that means you also imply that it was kenbunshoku haki here ?
http://i1.mangareader.net/one-piece/687/one-piece-3671439.jpg
I think that Mihawk's student performig the same thing is too much to be a coincidence.
The awakening of this type of haki looks more like this
http://i4.mangareader.net/one-piece/758/one-piece-5160261.jpg
I give you that there are probably many ways to awake this haki but well, i need more moments of characters awakening to be sure.

The awakening of paramecia DF are probably hard to think for the author. We know that zoan can turn to some kind of berserk mode. Doflamingo can turn things into strings. But what about people like Luffy, Buggy, or the guy that can slower time ?
Maybe Buggy could split his opponents but that would be very Law like.

Hard to say with the ones that are essentially shape-changes, like Luffy or Berrygood (There's a fight I'd like to see). Maybe he'd be able to slice up other people as well and shuffle them a bit like Law can.

Like the sword equivalent of an anti-mage. Imagine how pissed Mihawk and Zoro would be.

That's bloodlust, a strong intent to attack/kill. It's a shounen staple and Zoro had those kind of scenes before he trained with Mihawk.
Example: Sabaody
!
The point of Zoro's fight with Monet was that he didn't use haki or he would have straight up murdered her. Because Zoro is meant to be this badass and very scary guy not your friendly neighborhood Luffy.
And Color of Observation is used to feel the presence of other creatures, which includes when they attack.
I'll let Rayleigh explain it.
!
But the same way Color of Armament can be used to fortify your attack and/or your defense so can Color of Observation be used in a passive or active way.
Figthers usually use it in a passive way, to know who's around them and how they're going to attack. Sharpshooter's use it to actively search their targets like Ussop aiming at their auras and not what he could see. Van Augher also does this right before the Straw Hat's reach Jaya.
!
And Fujitora uses a permanent mix of the two since he's blind.
!
Yeah i know what haki is. Also know about everything that's been said troughout internet. Well, forget about the part "he tells Luffy not to attack him" then.
What i said still makes sense. You know, Mihawk not drawing his sword against shitty opponents and all.
Thematically speaking, it would make sense if Teach will be the final antagonist. It would seem like a copout if it were to be Akainu to be honest.

Why? Akainu is more evil than BB, has more resources and will actively target Luffy already. Akainu is the only other person who even has a shot at being the final villain. And to be honest Luffy definitely hates Akainu more than BB.

Neither of these statements has any bases. Teach is a far bigger threat right now.

But the parallel between BB and Luffy has been established years before Akainu confronted against Luffy. BB was the reason why Ace was captured in the first place and was behind the killing of Ace's father figure. I'm not basing it off 'who's more evil', just thematically and conceptually speaking. BB is the antithesis of Luffy and would be a better pay for him and us fans once BB confronts against Luffy between the final showdown in obtaining the title.

Not that i'm supporting his case, but the marines clearly have far greater resources than any single emperor.
Or any other single faction for that matter. It's a ridiculously large and powerful organization.
Akainu's going to be too busy using those resources to try and put down a mutiny in his own ranks.
I imagine that upon promotion Sengoku was taking red dawg up to gaze out from a tall cliff and being all
-Everything that the sun touches is our kingdom
Neither of these statements has any bases. Teach is a far bigger threat right now.
How is BB a bigger threat than Akainu, who leads the single most powerful organization in the entire world? Even BB and his army stand no chance against Akainu.

Yes i am a BB-as-final-villain fan too. I was just saying that Akainu does have a legit chance of being the one. And i was also saying that Akainu is the only other character with ANY chance of being the final villain for the reasons i stated on that post. I just can't believe people here thought weaklings like Flamingo had any real shot.
@The:

How about the fact that one has the power to destroy the world and reduce everything to nothing with maybe even more DFs in his arsenal while the other can't even keep his organization in check?

Blackbeard was the engineer of the Paramount War. Everything Akainu did to Luffy was a result of the consequences of Blackbeard's actions. Blackbeard actively causes trouble, while Akainu is the attack dog of a group who is primarily reactionary.

Blackbeard isn't the engineer of anything. By chance the pirate he caught was Ace and by chance he happened to be Rogers son. Hell Ace himself is more at fault for that war then BB. And so what? You can literally play this game going back decades. With this logic nobody is to blame for anything they do because they just reacted to what someone else did. It's called life and living. It's always going to start somewhere and has no beginning. It was WBs fault for letting BB join his crew, it was Thachts fault for being weak, why exactly does BB get more blame when Akainu is the one who literally turned Ace into swiss cheese?

Because he's the reason Ace was going to be executed in the first place, obviously. And because if the execution went as planned, it was going to be just two mooks who would cut Ace's head off instead. His capturing of Ace and selling him to the Marines has causes several ramifications to the plot of One Piece to unfold.

And i'll say it again, the blame game can be played all day. Akainu wronged Luffy more than BB because he actually killed Ace. BB is hated by Luffy because he beat up and captured Ace and because of that he died, but he hates Akainu more because he's the monster that actually did it. The blame game you're playing goes all the way back to whenever i want it to go back to, Akainu on the other hand did it and that can't be argued with.

You seem to be missing my point. I'm not arguing for Blackbeard because his actions lead to Ace's death, I am because said actions affected both the world as a whole, via killing Whitebeard and taking his spot, releasing the Level Six prisoners, which also would lead Akainu to get the Fleet Admiral job, and the like, but also to Luffy, our hero, as the trauma suffered at both Impel Down and Marineford almost broke his will and led hm to train for two years.
The mofo hasn't even fully appeared on-screen, and already he's destroyed Baltigo and caused the Revolutionaries to go on the run. There's a reason why he's lumped in with the Worst Generation, as both Blackbeard and Luffy cause world-changing events to occur.

Teach have 10 captains serving under him plus have Aokiji as a potential ally that once faced Sakazuki equally while Sakazuki have to deal with inside issues like the WG shitting on above his head by limiting his actions and having his own subordinates like Fujitora acting outside his intentions.
Yeah, though we don't know Aokiji's intentions. He's probably the one who told the marines about Baltigo. Or maybe Teach as a yonkou is under the watch of the WG ( as Shanks is, it's confirmed during the war ) and that's how they find out the location of the island, by following Teach. But it's more accurately Aokiji I think.

Doubt BB is not monitored closely.
Out of 2 known former marines hanging around Yonkou, it would make sense that at least one was a spy. And I'd bet more on Drake.
I feel it would be too much if both turned out to be undercover agents. I feel like Aokiji is following his own goal, rather than taking even more sacrifice to help the instituation he has been shown doubting and undermining.
I admit there's a chance Aokiji vs Akainu was a cover for Aokiji's credibility as a pirate ally, though. And also that Drake is a genuine pirate.
This thread has been heating up lately.
just wait until Shanks and Dragon die, then we'll see
Gorosei will be the final villains of one piece it was already made clear by the professor in Ohara you heard it hear first. The five elder stars clearly have five unique Devil fruits and weapons.
Why people think its gonna be Blackbeard is beyond me the guy is like a brother to luffy and shares the same D lineage with him as well as he is a pirate himself then why he would be a final villain? In fact I think he will ally with Straw Hats after a change of heart and help against the World Goverment.
No he won't. And Blackbeard and his crew are the exact opposite of the mugiwara. That's why. The number of pirates in each crew perfectly matches with the other, they even have a sniper which can give Ussop a fight. Doc Q also is the exact opposite of Chopper.
Luffy/Zoro/Sanji vs 3 members of the gorosei ( the one with the sword, the blond with long legs and Gorbatchev )
Sabo vs Akainu ( to avenge his brother )
And I have no idea about Dragon, maybe a member of gorosei, anyway I hope he won't die.
All this will come after the fight against BB's pirates i think.
But i actually wonder about Kidd and Law. What will they be ? Luffy's allies ? Since the fight on Sabaody it was pretty clear that they are gonna be rivals. I think Kidd will join the alliance against Kaido with Luffy and Law, maybe even all supernovas will join. But after that. They'll have to fight for the game of thrones and shit. I mean, Luffy doesn't have a rival, Roger had at least one ( WB, and Shiki too… ), then Luffy will have one.
Actually, beating Kaido won't make Luffy a yonko. Teach and his crew killed WB but it's only a year ago after fighting Marco and conquering enough land that he became a yonko.

The straw hats vs the black beards is to be debated but we will certainly get the Red hair pirates vs Black beards one as it was foreshadowed with the exact 11 v 11 panel in the Marine ford arc.
As for the Akainu v sabo I think it will happen but sabo will be either over powered or defeated by Akainu and Dragon will take over as I really believe the guy has some real beef with the red dog because of Akainu's hate towards luffy and dragon shown in the Marine ford arc also the Magma vs Air fruit battle where the air fruit makes the magma turned into stone and defeat Akainu is very much plausible and then Dragon goes against Gorosei/Tenryubitto.
Yeah, first Teach has to kill Shanks. ( but before that, i'm pretty sure they will meet with Luffy, eat meat and all )
And about Dragon, he will probably fight Kong.
And i don't recall who mentioned it, but yeah i think too that there will be some kind of mutiny. At least Coby and Fujitora. But Coby has to be an admiral first. Then he will cry because marines are bastard or something and "uhh i thought you were the good guys" well something like that. I mean, Coby can't remain in the WG for long. Not during the war at the end. But maybe he will, uhmm, i mean, Garp and Sengoku seem to know some big shit about the void century or the one piece but they did't resign from the marine till not long ago ( and didn't even really resigned )
I'll have to admit that the Luffy and Blackbeard will become friends theory is a brand new one

I'd rather the Gorosei not fight at all. Am I one of the few that has this idea ?
Just rather they stay there as the political figureheads and not ' fight' ala Lebello/Job Truniht/Rubinsky from Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Yes, but overall I think I will like to see what their desperation, last resort move would be to win the war, when their back are up against the wall. I just can't imagine them just sitting there watching this happen and then stay there frozen in fear because they are losing just waiting to get chopped/imprisoned or whatever their fate is.

There's nothing clear about that actually.
Why people think its gonna be Blackbeard is beyond me the guy is like a brother to luffy and shares the same D lineage with him as well as he is a pirate himself
1. They're not like brothers whatsoever.
2. Blackbeard is an evil D. Luffy is a good D.
3. Blackbeard is an evil pirate. Luffy is a good pirate.
4. "Pirate" isn't a sports team, there's nothing about pirates that suggests they have natural "on the same side" thing going on.In fact I think he will ally with Straw Hats after a change of heart and help against the World Goverment.
Why has Oda been building him up as a mega villain for the better part of 15 years?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The straw hats vs the black beards is to be debated
Pretty much one of the least debatable things in the series.
Like regardless of when you think they'll fight, or if they're the last villain group or not, there is really zero arguing that they are intended on duels. Zero.with the exact 11 v 11 panel in the Marine ford arc.
This panel does not exist. Also amazing! So 11 people and 11 people is foreshadowing! Hmm, no why don't you believe the same thing for the Strawhats then? Who are going to be 11?
Red hair pirates vs Black beards one as it was foreshadowed
And you imagine the outcome of this to be…what?

1. Nothing suggests they're just stuffy bueracrats, the same five men have been ruling since at least as long ago as Robin's flashback and haven't been shown to age. Nor were mentioned by other old characters in any of their "our generation" spiels.
2. They have scars and weapons.These are characters with pasts and motives beyond just "suits in power".
That doesn't mean they'll be arc villains with one on one duels.
