No way in hell that Shiki gets to have twice as many Supreme Blades as Roger and Whitebeard, the peak of his era. He'll be like Oden and have 2 from the 21 Great Grade Blades. I can see Oda sort of justifying that 2 of the 21 are "equal" to 1 of the 12, without factoring Black Blades in the equation.
My bets:
- Shanks
- Rayleigh
- Garling
- Xebec
- Shiryu (which is Magellan hype fs)
- A spear (Joy Boy?)
- An axe
No way in hell Oda isn't going to have a few exceptions instead of all of them being swords. And Whitebeard isn't going to be the lone exception.
As for some of the proposed ones that I think don't fit:
- Greenbull: Admiral bros might hate me for this.... but I fully believe Oda knows he fucked up and next time we'll see Greenbull, he'll have a long bokken that is constantly coated in Armament and thus always black and able to clash with normal swords (which is an impressive feat either way don't get me wrong). Hell, maybe he can even made a bokken out of Adam's wood or something.
- Big Mom: I think Oda is going to make another parallel with Kaido and have Napoleon be an Ungraded weapon that was named and made by Big Mom and whose main strength is derived from having a piece of her soul. Also, the shapeshifting properties are much more fit for an unrefined piece of metal than a named blade crafted by a famous swordsmith. And we haven't seen Big Mom clash with any strong swordsman, so...
