Questions & Mysteries Blackbeard will seize the treasure of Mariejois and usurp Imu as the final villain

How? Xebec was a failure like Fatty will be. Xebec never even saw Imu's real form lmao, his portrayal is shit now.
Xebec was a failure as Roger, even though more feared. Roger didn't even demanded for Imu to show up lol. Not to mention, has zero plans, opposite to Xebec.

This FB introduced Teach's "mythical" ancestor, who was as feared as Joy Boy, and who was usurped and killed by Imu, basically as Joy Boy.

That doesn't give him any meaningful chance, he like his ancestors will fail, he is an antagonist, he won't be the one to defeat Imu.

Oh, so by that logic Luffy is going to fail too, right? Since Roger failed. Or is it maybe the exact opposite, that the new generation will succeed where the old one couldn't?
At most you can argue that Teach doesn't fully represent Xebec's will and has twisted it. But thinking he's just going to end up like him doesn't really make any sense

Luffy is the protagonist, he literally can't fail.

Blackbeard is an antagonist, he is destined to fail in his goal.

Blackbeard isn't even anything like Xebec, they basically could not be more different.

Obv. he could fail, but this arc gave him the same plot reason as Luffy.
The only thing relevant is pinpointing the final enemy. If It Is Teach/Davy Jones and not Imu, there is no problem for Teach in killing Imu since Imu won't be the FV.

Anyway, the point was that this arc gave Teach his chances, which is objective. Before now, Teach killing Imu would have been totally random. Now, It has an actual plot reason.

So what's the point of Teach in the story then? If he's not the final antagonist, the one who take's Imu's place which is the goal of his plan, why does his character even exist?
Imu isn't an active character, he just sits there waiting to be taken down. On the other hand, you have a character whose ambitions have always been about taking over the world, and even Imu fears him. And you're saying Teach's role is just to randomly clash with Luffy and lose?
It makes no sense fo BB to fight Luffy before completing his plan to conquer the world, just like it makes no sense for him to lose to Imu before even facing Luffy.

To serve as a villain, just not the villain.

"Imu isn't an active character he just sits there waiting to be taken down", have you read the latest chapter? Since he's doing the exact opposite of that.

It makes zero sense in One Piece especially and basically any fiction ever for a villain to accomplish their overall goal, Blackbeard will not be king of the world.

Rocks wanted to usurp Imu. That was his dream. Blackbeard is carrying his will and has the anti-Devil Fruit.



Now here is the thing about the treasure of Mariejois. It is still up for grabs. Doffy said he himself could have gotten it. It's not an ancient thing.



In fact, Imu was sending assassins to hush Doflamingo up.



Imu also seems to be a 2nd world guy, and the ultimate battle will be between 1st world creatures, maybe Nika vs. Davy Xebec.

But also, didn't Oda say finding the OP will be the very last thing in OP, and there's no point to the story after that? Obviously BB will be in the running up until the end. I don't think he'll fall before Imu.
This is a thread I can get behind on. lol
