Luffy vs BB vs IMu appears awesome on paper but we all know oda won't pull it.
The most plausible scenario is
Luffy vs BB for pirate king
And, then Luffy vs IM to fulfil what roger failed to do
Issue is BB is very important and IM even marked him. BB is the only top tier who is getting focused from the beginning.
Oda will definitely keep him around during EoS so that's why I asked how he will fit into Luffy vs Im
Here’s the thing:
I feel like Blackbeard knows what the Will of D is and what it means. I also think Blackbeard was who Whitebeard was grooming him to be the next pirate king until Ace came into the picture.
1. Whitebeard knows what the Will of D is.
2. Blackbeards hobby is archaeology
3. Whitebeard was looking for someone to take over as pirate king
4. When Whitebeard met Blackbeard in Marineford he told him, “You’re not the one.” As if Blackbeard was supposed to fully understand
As such I think Blackbeard will be the runner up in this war for the Pirate Kings throne.
