Yeah I’m not really expecting Yamato vs Kizaru, but it’s not totally impossible. Ideally Kizaru will die to BB and Yamato will fight the Orange Admiral who replaces him. Or she could just fight a Zodiac VA (and leave Bumsopp hanging yet again), but I would expect Zodiac VAs to be below her paygrade
I would even be okay with Kuzan. Kizaru vs Yamato is just horrible asthetically and has no coherent theme at all.

Kizaru dying is the best way to sort everything out narratively. He doesn´t need to fight the SHP again, and he probably shouldn´t reunite with the Egghead people, none of whom will die(Vegapunk, Kuma, Bonney), nor Sakazuki.

One big problem with Yamato joining is that the SHs vs BBPs matchups won’t really add up. I doubt Kuzan will actually fight against a SH, so it’d be 11 vs 10. Either Kuzan fights Sanji, or Yamato steals a fight from one of the Fillerhats, or someone powerful joins BB

Kuzan already went through with going against his mentor, he isn´t going to give up now, Doffy spoke of how he walks like someone with purpose. He´s fighting Yamato or Loki(who I think is more likely to join, or is at very least going to be related to the Blackbeard arc for obvious reasons.)

Loki isn’t joining bro. And he would squish Kuzan like a bug anyways.

Kuzan clearly has his own agenda, as proven by the contender spread. If he does have to fight a SH or SH ally, it’ll most likely be Koby

His own agenda alligns with Blackbeard, as we´ve already been told. That spread obviously doesn´t mean much, it´s been like 2 years, we can stop the cap

Loki doesn´t even have to join to be involved with the Blackbeard pirates arc anyway, he´s clearly connected to Rocks.

Koby by feats is weaker than Vergo
 
@Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier Honestly what is Yamato even missing out on to be Admiral level?

She’s got Oni genes and insane physical stats (able to one shot a Tobi Roppo and casually block G3 while in base and weakened by Kairoseki cuffs)

She’s got a Mythical Zoan (strongest type of DF), and probably even Awakening at that.

She’s got ACoC, and is canonically better at it than current Zoro at the very least.

She seemingly doesn’t have FS or Ryuo (though I’m not sure if she really is lacking Ryuo since idk how it’s even possible to know CoC coating but not CoA coating).

A nameless bonk from Base Yamato slammed Broccoli GB into the ground, made him grit his teeth, go white eyed, pop his veins out, shout in pain twice, hold his head like he got a concussion, and praise her Haki (GB doesn’t strike me as the type of guy who’s eager to praise his enemies). Imagine if she had her strength multiplied several times over by going into her Awakened Hybrid form and also imbued her kanabo strike with ice

i think the admirals are probably awakened for the most part

Ok but I’m still not sure how Loki vs Kuzan is supposed to be a serious fight though. Post-TS Kuzan doesn’t even have better freezing feats than Ragnir if we’re being honest

Good thing post TS Kuzan isn´t a seperate character from the one pre ts and the one that froze half of PH against Sakazuki, and pre TS/post TS is an arbitrary distinction anyway

It´s on Oda to figure out how to make Loki a serious fight against anyone other than Imu after making him so broken, but if Luffy fights Sakazuki beforehand, Loki will probably have some type of fight before Imu. A possible nerf, or the BBP fighting dirty is always an option.

Nothing really suggests that Kuzan and Sakazuki terraformed PH after a single clash. That was the end result of their 10 day clash, after throwing out hundreds if not thousands of attacks. Ragnir could easily freeze a Draugr the size of multiple mountains in one hit. Oda drastically scaled back the DC of the entire verse during the TS.
 
My crazy clown take I kind of believe

I think that, without Ragnir, Loki is weaker than Kuzan.

Aramaki will try to talk it out with the Scabbards, Fuji will be aiding and abetting the enemy, Kizaru will take a while to get the job done because he's caught in his feelings

Garp almost died, Kuzan is a fucking insane person.

Kizaru got such obvious nerfs, and we've seen so little Logia in the New World, that I feel the pendulum is due to swing back, and while I think Kizaru is going to have a crazy showing against the Blackbeard Cross Guild alliance in Wano Act 4, i just feel that Kuzan is about to do something fucking insane the next time he shows up. Haki grows from fighting people with strong Haki. Kuzan is going to be even stronger the next time we see him.

Like, I still have Mihawk above Loki with Ragnir, and I think Kuzan is at least near Mihawk.

What the fuck are Black Blades actually capable of?
