Character Discussion Who will be the next new Emperors?

#64
I don't believe it's gonna be a similar system to Yonko, like we've seen after WCI Arc, Morgans called Luffy Fifth Emperor, even though people or Yonko themselves don't treat him as one

During Sabaody Arc, there were Eleven Supernova who were simply New Pirates with Highest Bounties who finished Half Journey, but after 2 years they started calling them Worst Generation, but now we are seeing a new change of Power & these 12 cannot continue to be called Worst Generation, because Bonney clearly is Inactive, Hawkins is Dead, Drake is a Marine, Apoo was with Beasts Pirates & they lost ... etc

So from People's Perspective, this Generation isn't the way it was anymore, only few of them managed to stay on track, which is why i believe New Emperors refer to Remaining Six Major Players from Worst Generation & they are Roof Five + Blackbeard & they will add Shanks to it

Another reason for this new Categorization is the fact that with Two Yonko gone, the Balance will be considered Broken, so it's not about rulership anymore, it becomes a Race & people will name who are the Last Candidates for Pirate King Throne

Using Doflamingo's Speech, only Pirates remaining who are considered Candidates are Worst Gen, Yonko & Remaining Shichibukai
Half WG will be considered Failures, Two Yonko Defeated, Two Shichibukai Captured (Hancock & Kuma)

So Last Players among Pirates from World Perspective are:
Luffy, Zoro, Kid, Killer, Law, Blackbeard, Shanks, Mihawk, Buggy & Weevil (+ Maybe Katakuri, but not sure. Small chance Urouge too)
Dragon is also another Possibility, we might finally get to see his Bounty (It should be noted that WG want to catch him but Kingdoms are still not fully aware of what he is capable of, so with Sabo News in Levely where he might have been accused of killing Cobra, Kingdoms might start to hunt Dragon too & his Bounty gets even Higher)

I believe Akainu or Gorosei or both will declare that if these Ten are Defeated, the World of Pirates will crumble & they will lose all Motivation & they won't ever mess with Authority again, which is giving me Dressrosa Star System Vibes

Another Hint about this is the fact that Brannew teased New Shichibukai Bounties but didn't reveal them, they are reserved for Post-Wano.
And Law said that now they will become Wanted on Highest Level, so we might be talking about Kingdoms wanting their Huge Bounties (Especially with how much many Countries are teased to be Poor & unable to pay WG Fee, they will want to catch Supernova so badly)

Anyway, this is more like what i hope happens (Even though we will most probably only get Luffy & maybe Kid/Law as New Emperors)
Luffy & Dragon as Most Wanted Criminals (Roger-Like Bounty)
Followed by Shanks, Blackbeard, Kid & Law with Yonko-Like Bounties
And then Zoro, Killer, Mihawk, Buggy & Weevil with Close Bounties

The whole world will go after their Heads (Similar to Dressrosa Citizens & Star System)
Shanks & Blackbeard are already Emperors
Roof Five Hype was obvious, they were clearly Portrayed as Future Great Pirates
Dragon needs no Introduction
Buggy will definitely receive such Fame & Hype, it's part of his Theme & Gag
And Mihawk + Weevil are clearly Strongest Shichibukai & their Strength is considered Legendary

These 11 must get the Spotlight now in preparation for Final War

If we expect to keep the "4 Emperor"-Rule in the long run, i guess this will happen:

Whitebeard -> Blackbeard
Kaido -> Luffy
Big Mum -> Eustass Kid
Shanks -> ???

I am really unsure about Shanks position and how Law and/or Katakuri fit in.

The connection between Linlin and Kid is pretty clear, simply by their name, there is no bigger symbolism of the new generation. Whitebeard and Blackbeard is also clear as the day.
Luffy for Kaido, since he took over everything from Kaido and beat him in direct fight.

Maybe shanks lose his title cause he lose to Blackbeard or smth, and law gets it for beating Linlin too? I don’t know.

If they more than 4 Emperors 5 Emperor is always a possiblity and yes Kid beat the Mom. So he have to be the new Emperor
