If there was a world destruction and one nika before the void century does this mean that there could have been a big bad villain before Imu Sama?
@AverageNamiEnjoyer @nik87 @Sir Yasheen
Of course, that is exactly what it means.
Imu is the Sauron to the Sea Devil's Melkor,
@nik87 .
Spot on!
I wonder whether Lunarians fear water. Their design looks like a devil, maybe they do fear water.
The Red Line's origin is still elusive, where did they get the red minerals and why it's inhabitable. Certainly not from the Earth. I thought about it maybe Lunarian brought them from one of the moon. idk..
I don't know if water is a problem for Lunarians by itself because it is a natural environment after all.
However, Sea God's water manipulation may be something else and indeed something Lunarians wanted to avoid by setting up HQ on the farthest point away from the sea...
It's probably the god Mihawk worships. Just like Kuma's religion turned out to be featuring Nika (liberator), Mihawk's god will too appear.
I remember seeing Salah mention this...
Idk, Mihawk never struck me as someone worshipping any deity.
In that regard, he is similar to Zoro.
What is odd to me is Mihawk's boredom, his lack of ambition and his knowledge of what goes on in Reverie...
A character inspired by Dracula... All about Mihawk screams to me far, far more than anything Oda even hinted at.
I don't like to claim anything without things to based it on but Mihawk could turn out far more than anyone ever expected.
And I am not talking about his individual power lvl.

Nika > Joy Boy > Roger > Luffy
??? > Possible Void Century Evil D. > Xebec > Teach
The unknown figure from before the Void Century whom Teach inherited his will must be the one that caused the first world destruction.
While The Void Century Evil D. caused the second destruction.
Now if my calculations are correct, Xebec tried to accomplish the third destruction but failed, and now that dream was passed down to...
...
Masaka...
Could it be...
Your timeline is likely correct.
Thematically, Blackbeard always was fitting as Luffy's ultimate nemesis.
Banaro Island basically foreshadowed this, Sun vs Darkness.
While Luffy isn't a flame user per se, he does have some fire powers and is, ultimately, a Sun God.
The only question is how much inheritance will Blackbeard embody. Will he carry on his shoulders all those before him or someone else will step in to play the big bad...
The same reason why Imu never clicked for me would apply to that big bad as well, alienation of the character. The only reason why people care about Imu is because they are betting that he is the final villain. Take that away from him and it is basically:
Blackbeard, on the other side, is probably the best-written villain in the story.
