Oden is among the most overrated characters Post TS
Maybe runner up for most overrated would be Blackbeard. Not just powerwise but his story importance. People keep pushing him for FV when it should be obvious Imu-sama is the big bad.
yeah , Imu has the stronger case to be the FV :
• the leader and potentially the strongest of CDs
• who may have been directly involved in Void Century when they defeat the OG strawhat wearer + potentially with 3 Ancient Weapons combined ( if this is true , nobody will ever beat this feat except SHs and Allies themselves )
i think the 3 Ancient Weapons could originally belong to Joy Boy's Great Kingdom , that is why Pluton is written on a Poneglyph in Alabasta , and Poseidon is said to be written on a Skypiean Poneglyph . Uranus is mysterious , but probably is written on some Poneglyph as well .
besides that , my main problem with Teach becoming the FV is that , his crew members , taking the strongest of them ( Shiryuu ) as an example might be a good indication :
• Shiryuu being Zoro's final opponent imply he would have to surpass Zoro's other potential opponents ( Shodai Kitetsu Elder , Kizaru ) but his parallel was Oden , who was barely a top tier .
i don't think Zoro will fight Mihawk but Shiryuu would have to surpass him too , considering Mihawk is the original final benchmark for Zoro .
• Shiryuu's opponent from Red Haired Pirates i think is Beckmann , who is not a top tier although among the closest .
i think Mihawk will be there with Shanks , but Hawk won't fight Shiryuu , he'll assist Shanks in fighting Teach with Pluton ( i believe Teach wanted to take Pluton in Alabasta )
there is no way Shanks could fend off the firepower of Teach + Pluton by himself , i don't think even Roger or WB could do that . Mihawk has to assist him to give a fight
• currently the only potential supporting argument i see for Shiryuu becoming Zoro's final opponent is , if his Thunderstorm sword is actually one of the 12 .
if Raiu is anything but one of the 12 , it'll bury his chance of becoming Zoro's final opponent , and further indicate that Shodai Kitetsu Elder is Zoro's final opponent instead ( look at other Supreme Grade owners - Roger , WB , Mihawk ) .
