I'm not gonna be mad at people pushing these matchups. Admirals are currently the perfect characters for Oda to play around with. They stand between good and evil. They can be friend or foe. Oda will surely have fun baiting using them in the future.
- Tho like I said I’m personally not the biggest fan of sabo taking Sakazuki from luffy there definitely is a chance
- Aramaki and kid wanting to run it back with shanks sounds pretty self explanatory imo
- Same with Kuzan and Koby going after luffy
- I personally believe in law vs Issho obviously but it is a kinda weird case. Mainly because on paper Fuji going after mihawk and sengoku Blackbeard makes more sense but it’d probably be better for all of them if they end up swapping
- Fujitora vs mihawk is pretty much a waste of time for both characters cause oda isn’t going to give them anything meaningful. No matter what one thinks about power level Fuji vs Blackbeard could at least be interested before law potentially pops up
- Sengoku vs Blackbeard would be cool but just used to feed more into the bb hype which I don’t necessarily mind lol. Sengoku vs mihawk could actually be interesting for mihawk. It being a scenario I can see oda giving mihawk and cross guild a win. Which I think is better for them as a whole than a meaningless clash with Fuji that leads nowhere for them
The next progression after Wano should be :
- Zoro & Sanji vs Top Tier (in this case Admiral Aokiji)
- Zoro vs Top Tier (in this case Mihawk)
As for Sanji, he doesn't need to fight a Top Tier solo unless it serves as a narrative purpose. Hence why Sanji will "only" get Crocodile, someone 2 tiers below Mihawk. They got story ties.

Sanji never needed any deep reason to be strong other than he just has to for luffy and the crew. He’s definitely going to eventually have to face a top tier opponent and have to defeat them just because he has to
