Or imus just unsure which one of those two are joyboys successor, Blackbeard or Luffy. This was before Gear 5 afterall.
He marked them as light that needed to be extinguished.


And, oda won't draw imu marking them just because imu isn't sure about BB. More so when we know Blackbeard is opposite of luffy.


You need to accept it - BB is there because he is associated with another figure of 800 years ago because that's the common link.

And, no BB isn't getting killed before raftel.

We’ll see; but Whitebeards speech about Blackbeard “not being the one” really looks more like he’s just going to be a failed pirate king contender and nothing more.

Yes he isn't the one. Only Luffy is because he is the Joyboy and will carry the will of generations.


But that doesn't mean BB role is comparable to likes of BM.

Oda has build Blackbeard in parallel to Luffy. From starting of journey as captain to building more or less similar crew to rise in power - these two crews are the only crews engaged in multiple plots some even being common like sharing history with shanks...

Not saying BB is like Big Mom; but when the final battle is set to be about the completion of Joyboys 800 year mission, i don’t get what Blackbeards role could be there since currently there’s only 3 prominent characters from the past:
Imu
Lily
Joyboy
 
S

Sasaki Kojirō

I'm still Team Blackbeard is the final boss, but tbh Imu has a high chance to be the one as well. Can't see any other character getting that spot though.
Yes, you're right. It's either that or the character Oda suggested in an interview.

Not being revealed doesn't equate to not having it for sure

That's what we will learn when we will get to BB arc because oda is holding back BB. We don't even know why he doesn't sleep or why he has abnormal body or how he has two dfs - so how we can learn about his connections with the past before we get to BB's arc?

And, we know he is important not only because of oda focusing on his development on the lines of Luffy but also because of his connections with Xebec - another D.

And Xebecs storyline ended before Roger went to Raftel which is where I think Blackbeards story going.

Wrong again

There is huge timeline gap.

Roger went to Godvalley 38 years ago

28 years ago - he got ill and got crocus and began his journey again through the grandline


He became PK 24 years ago

Regardless of the Gap, Xebec was still a character disconnected with what Roger discovered from raftel and was someone looking to conquer the world.

Again, that’s where I see Blackbeard at too.

Because Xebec wasn't there at all. WB was and there is no one fitting to be WB here.


It's only Blackbeard who took whatever WB had.


There are only two opponents who are fitting to be EOs villain - IMu and BB. And, BB was hyped as EOs villain until IMu was revealed. So, you can get how important he is to the story

So, no BB isn't going down before laugh tale.

Invest in BB stock. It's high time

Nah Imu rules the celestial bodies, is the opposite of freedom, and caused a world wide phenomenon. Imus stock is too high.

Blackbeard can be luffys Aizen, but Imu is the Yhwach

Imu can be whatever...

Likely IMU is EoS villain but I don't feel any connection to a character who hardly got fleshed in comparison to someone like BB who got build up since the beginning of Grandline ..



Anyway, invest in BB stock. You won't be disappointed regardless of when he falls to looney toon

I’m all for BB stocks. I hope he cashes out by killing a red snitch.

Tfw you guys all believe that a character who is from the void century is some street level fooder
Imu will definitely not be street level fodder, but fact is that Imu is more of a concept than a character. We know he is evil, we know he has to go, but neither Luffy nor reader would feel much in terms of personal stakes when it comes to Imu. He is a rather abstract threat, even now when he has wiped Lulusia off the map... by contrast, stakes with Blackbeard are much more personal: he (indirectly) killed Ace, caused Luffy to nearly die trying to save Ace, and personally endangered multiple people Luffy cares about post-timeskip (Boa, Coby, etc.).

However, it also makes no sense for Luffy to face Imu before Blackbeard. Roger only learned the truth of the world after reaching the Laugh Tale... so it is likely that Luffy will go to the Laugh Tale first, become the Pirate King and only then face the World Government. Unless of course current Vegapunk arc changes something, what with the guy being the foremost expert on the Void Century. Yet the fact that Luffy considers the Pirate King to be the freest person in the world indicates that the conflict against the WG will happen only after the Laugh Tale, seeing how the World Government is fundamentally opposed to the very idea of freedom in a way not even Blackbeard is.

because all signs are pointing towards that. Oda could have made Imu's lazer on lulusia imu's own power, but instead it was just him using a weapon. Imu is afraid of shirahoshi because she is a weapon. And imu wouldn't need to hide from the world if he was strong enough to rule by force
