Future Events Akainu is the final villain
- Thread starter kurwa
- Start date
Saying that Imu is Lily is jumping the gun by a LOT, and him/her being small doesnt really matter, if anything it could be Oda playing with the fact that all villains so far were taller than Luffy. I wouldnt hate Akainu being the final villain but honestly, so far, Akainu has had 0 final boss vibes. As cool as he is at the end of the day he is just a magma cop, while Imu is not only the actual boss but is also the center of a conflict that began almost millenia ago. And while you are right about there being instances of the leader of a group not being the strongest guy, it cant be denied that the whole thing with Imu and Nika parallels Enel and Luffy back in Skypea much more than any other match up
Spandam was the leader of CP9 and yet Luffy fought Lucci, because Lucci was giving Spandam the power.
Just like Admirals are giving World Government (Imu) power to do whatever they want.

The one giving Spandam the power is not Lucci but WG and Admirals as both the higher hierarchy who has the military strength to guarantee Spandam's authority. Gorosei dont even respect Akainu (a killing machine btw) it means they are strong themselves to subdue Akainu or they have a backup / guarantee. As long as we know it, Imu is the backup and Imu is the guarantee.
What gives Celestial Dragons the power over other people's freedom? Admirals:
People only obey Celestial Dragons because they fear the power of Admirals. There's literally no other reason in the story as to why the world would obey Celestial Dragons. It's always just Admirals.
There's no secret ruler that people fear, there's no ancient weapons that people fear.
They only fear Admirals who give power to the Celestial Dragons to take away their freedom.
Even in this chapter, people were shitting themselves because of an Admiral coming to avenge a celestial dragon
Beating Admirals = giving back freedom to the people of the world.
Beating Imu means JACKSHIT to the people of the world.
Beating Blackbeard means JACKSHIT to the people of the world.
They would still fear Admirals and obey celestial dragons, because beating Imu/Blackbeard doesn't mean freedom to the people of the world as Imu gives NOTHING to the power of celestial dragons. It's only Admirals that give them power.

The gorosei basically admit this is the case. "The Navy is just the outward face of the government". The navy isn't the CD's real power, they're just the tip of the iceberg.
We're literally seeing this play out in real time.
First Oda introduced the CD's UFO weapon.
then you have the introduction of the Holy Knights, who despite probably not being top tiers, absolutely shit on the vice admirals in terms of hype. Dragon says the real battle starts when they are mobilized, whereas the vice admirals have more or less been portrayed as clowns and jobbers.
All of which is to say, its only a matter of time before Imu and the gorosei get hyped above the admirals.
even after posting the panel yourself you can't comprehend it.
They are talking about reputation following the Doflamingo Warlord incident where the Marines were in the dark about what happened and are now looking like idiots
Gorosei tells Akainu that the reputation of the Marines does not concern them because the Marines are the outward face of the WG
It has NOTHING to do with power. It just means that the Marines messing up doesnt reflect badly on the WG and Gorosei as they are NOT the same entity

The Gorosei falling on their knees before Imu already suggests that he or she holds some incredible power, even if not related to physical prowess.
The final villain either is Imu or Blackbeard. Akainu as the fleet Admiral is disposable. If Akainu dies today, they will quickly set up a new fleet Admiral. Like there was a fleet Admiral before Akainu and a fleet Admiral before Sengoku.
Also, Kaido is confirmed to be above Akainu. So Luffy beating Kaido, then beating Blackbeard who is going to be even stronger and then fighting Akainu, who is the weakest of them?
Maybe Aokiji (Blackbeard's underling, who also happens to be Akainu's peer) gets a rematch vs. Akainu while Blackbeard kills Imu.

It is impossible for Akainu to be the final villain; your hypothesis is ridiculous when we analyze it thoroughly. Kaido's presence was so formidable that it kept the Marines, the government, and other external enemies at a distance from Wano, as confirmed by the CP0, WG, Green Bull, Kinemon. Orochi stated that he wasn't afraid of the World Government or the Marines, and even with all of them combined, they couldn't take control of Wano due to Kaido. On the other hand, Akainu, as the endgame boss, lacks any significant presence, is ridiculed by the elders, and has been reduced to a mere paper-pusher with no freedom.
Oda creates a film where Rob Lucci tells the final villain to shut up and send the ships, has a weakened Whitebeard defeat the final villain with just two blows, and has Blackbeard recruit someone similar to Akainu as his subordinate. If Akainu is the final villain, he would be the worst villain ever written in the history of this manga.

It's simple, pirates compete with each other, unlike the Marines who work together in teams. The alliance of two Yonko was referenced as the strongest pirate alliance in the world, with them putting all possible objectives on the table and confident in achieving them: One Piece, Ancient Weapons, world domination, crushing the World Government (WG) and the Marines in the process. The mere contact between Whitebeard and Shanks shook the WG and the Marines, just like Kaido and Big Mom after the events at Whole Cake Island.
The WG has been in control for 800 years, while Akainu is only 55 years old. You see, the government truly needs its own combat force and the internal face of the WG to deal with enemies. The introduction of the Sacred Knights and a "weapon" capable of destroying an entire kingdom is just the tip of the iceberg.
Indeed, it's pathetic to see how Akainu is portrayed in the world of One Piece. His equal, Aokiji, who fought him for ten days and ultimately lost, became a pirate. However, he doesn't even possess the influence of a Yonko; he became a subordinate of one. Moreover, the other Yonko such as Kaido, Big Mom, and Shanks didn't even comment on Blackbeard gaining that power, as if they weren't concerned at all. So, I believe Oda should treat the counterpart and equal of the final game villain better. LMAO
Not to mention the fact that Oda has repeatedly portrayed Aokiji and Akainu as inferior to Kaido.
