Cmon bruh, Imu is almost confirmed as One Piece's Yhwach, this isn't negligible.
The 1YBW was mainly a battle between two warring factions that’s Shinigami and Quincy, while Oda has made it pretty clear through Vegapunk’s speech doublespread that the race towards OP has multiple stakeholders that can end up at the top if they found the treasure.
OP’s endgame shaping up to be a free-for-all makes it harder to guess who ends up being the final antagonist, Shanks, silhouetted guy, or totally new character are all in the draw thanks to that simple fact.
