Buggy became an emperor so nah he isn’t average
Cross guild is going to make their move only when the stawhats win the last poneglyph. So yeah after Blackbeard but before imu
It’s leading to the final fight for the last poneglyph not the one piece itself. The reason he is getting more focused now is because he’s going to go down first
Blackbeard is secondary just as much as shanks. Also the fact no one but zoro will be allowed to defeat mihawk for his dream. So the strawhats and cross guild have to fight in some way
It's leading to Vs Teach not vs Cross Guild
It's leading to vs Imu not vs Akainu
The major players of this saga are Teach and Imu
Teach isn't secondary like Shanks lol Teach is a bigger player as he's the last fight Luffy fights to surpass any pirate.
Shanks won't have any major arc of his own.
Zoro isn't meant to beat Mihawk to be WSS
That ship died when Mihawk became his teacher
He can be wss without beating Mihawk.
You should stop thinking Buggy and Shanks will he bigger players than Teach in this final saga. It's not happening.
There's a reason why Cross Guild don't have any super combat feat and won't get to beat anyone, they're frauds who will fall to BBP if they ally with rhp
And RHP are gonna fall to BBP
