that's what's interesting about blackbeard. while imu is an obstacle to the freedom the protagonist is fighting to achieve, blackbeard is fighting to achieve exactly the same thing, but an opposing notion of what freedom is. that forces the protagonist to reflect on what freedom actually means. the need to defeat a tyrant ruler is a simple notion, it's what you do with your new-found freedom that's interesting.
Future Events Nerona Imu or BlackBeard D. Teach for the FV?

How laugh tales rolls in a way that Luffy becomes the Pirate king and BB remains relevant.
And how the final war happens against the WG if the BB is still on the scene. A 3 way fight? And BB sneak attack the WG while they fight Luffy and steal a ancient weapon?
i think oda is slowly addressing this. luffy used to say that he wanted all the food for himself, individual freedom. but at the end of wano, he says that he wants a world where everyone has access to food, collective freedom.
luffy realized that kaido's notion of freedom, the freedom of the strong to do what they want with the weak, is not the freedom he believes in. the same will happen when he face blackbeard, he will reflect on what freedom means again.

To me it seems to be a number of things:
1) The usual powerscaling nonsense. When some people could think 1 mere Yonko crew could match the entirety of the WG’s forces, it’s no surprise they think 1 crew would somehow be greater to overcome than the ruling forces of 800 years.
2) Some people believe that a story can’t change and evolve.
3) The inane: “it’s a pirate manga, so only a pirate can be the final villain”
As if pirates weren’t the outlaws against ruling empires in the real world who were always the dominant forces anyway.
Nothing has really changed, or I should say that there’s nothing to surprising about the most recent chapter. The situation is still the same.
Blackbeard simply doesn’t have enough forces to be the final antagonist against the worldwide alliance the Strawhats will lead.
1 defeated Admiral could threaten his core crew by himself…and the Navy has 4 of those while being subordinate to the WG itself.
It seems that all this time I took it for granted, but it was actually a minority position to think the WG was the final antagonist.
I’ve believed that was a given since Ennies Lobby.
**NARUTO SPOILERS**
At best, BB in the scenario a lot of people are asking for would be like the end of Naruto where Sasuke & Naruto fight after everything is already done and Kaguya is defeated. It would just feel…frivolous, like an extended afterword
