@ZenZu @soupongo @EmperorKinyagi Oda can still redeem himself if he makes Blackbeard vs Kizaru an CG vs Sengoku and Tsuru happen.
Blackbeard will raid New MF and beat/kill Kizaru, who will be the only Admiral there. Xebec stated that one of the steps of his plan was crushing the Navy, and Xebec killed an Admiral, so BB killing an Admiral and destroying New MF would be a good parallel. This would also finally force Sakazuki to mobilize.
Sengoku and Tsuru going after CG would pay off Sengoku talking about how they must prioritize CG, and those two losing to Mihawk and Croc would be a good way to write them out of the story and give CG some much needed hype.
From there, we could have the following matchups for the SHs:
Luffy vs Fleet Admiral Sakazuki
Zoro vs Admiral Fujitora
Sanji vs Admiral Ryokugyu
7 SHs vs 7 Zodiac Vice Admirals
