Speculations Who should defeat Garling?

#23
Dragon. Sabo as his #2 will face Shamrock the #2 as well

The Holy Knights as the military branch of the Celestial Dragons were tailor made for the Revolutionary Army.

Blackbeard isn´t interested in revenge. He isn´t going to target Garling, he´s going to target Imu.

Also, Unless WB was told by Roger who told him, he shouldn´t even know Garling killed Rocks lol.
Wasn’t Teach 4 during GV? He could remember being chased by Garling
 

MUUGEN

呪のろいの王

I think it’s one of three people:
  • Shanks
  • Teach
  • Loki
Shanks because he’s his son and also he seemed to hate Garling, Teach or Loki in order to avenge Rocks.

Ultimately I don’t think Garling by himself is as strong as any of those three. However with an omen or possibly possession from Imu, I could see him pushing them to high diff.
from this list only Teach has a real reason but most likely Dragon.

Teach and Shanks will be already down by the time Garling final fight happens, and if that wasn't the case, Shanks would fight Shamrock.
I don't see what's Loki's business with Garling supposed to be..?

I think Garling is supposed to fight the Revolutionary Chiefs.
Garling vs Dragon and Shamrock vs Sabo are good matches to bet on.

I feel that Blackbeard and Loki’s animosity is directed towards the orchestrator of the events that led to their suffering which is Imu.

Dragon defeating the most narratively important Gorosei feels warranted for his role in the story, though defeating Warcury could just as well suffice.

My preference is Shanks. There’s thematic potential in a Celestial Dragon by blood having a hand in bringing the dawn of the world by defeating a member of his own kin.

the thing is, Sabo and Dragon both have much bigger connections to Akainu
Sabo doesn't have connections to Akainu at all. They are different generations, they have no interactions, they are different positions I mean Akainu is a leader/captain type character meanwhile Sabo is a subbordinate/first mate type. In the manga in 99% leaders fight the same caliber. Sabo has no business with marines, no ties, from the very beginning of his character he hates CDs. Dragon and Akainu most likely will have deep connections.
