Like the title says I think there’s a chance the admirals might be taken by the next gen after going for the emperor
Not all necessarily happening at the same time but still
Main possible matchups imo being
- Kid vs ryokugyu
- Law vs fujitora
- Koby vs aokiji
- Sabo vs akainu
- For example fujitora might go after cross guild and while law doesn’t really have business with them he does with the Blackbeard pirates. With the bbp having garp that could lead to a potential interaction between them and cg. For better or worse oda isn’t giving Fuji or mihawk a win against each other and law isn’t getting a major win over bb before luffy. Having law and fujitora end up fighting instead would probably be the most interesting case imo
- Bbp and cross guild being allowed to move on to latter get beaten by the strawhats
- More straight forward but ryokugyu is 100% all about that smoke. Him wanting a real fight against shanks and the red haired pirates seems very in line with his character. Oda being the shanks fan he is isn’t going to let ryokugyu actually beat him but I think (hope) he won’t waste him by letting shanks take him out. Imo the best case scenario is to have another character 100% all about that smoke that also don’t fuck with shanks fight him instead aka eustass
- The rhp also moving on to lose to the strawhats down the line
- We know that Koby is now officially going after luffy. I surprisingly don’t think he’s going to succeed lol. I do think him fighting Kuzan could be a potentially cool consolation prize. Kuzan might end up going after Luffy even in this very arc under instructions from bb due to something about elbaf. So if both go after him Koby might end up taking on Kuzan after Luffy leading to the strawhats escaping the island
- While I’d personally prefer for Luffy to fully defeat akainu out of all admirals I can’t deny there is a shot sabo takes over the fight so Luffy can move on to something or someone else. Whether it’s a gorosei like Garling or warcury or whatever idk. I still rather luffy beat him tho either way
Also I don’t think any of them will actually be actually as strong as the admirals before they fight them. The admirals should definitely be nerfed and weakened enough to make them losing a bit realistic. It probably being due to actually fighting the emperor crews
Similar to how kid and law teaming up against big mom doesn’t make them individually comparable to luffy who fought kaido or significantly stronger than zoro or sanji who fought king and queen. Oda is going to come up with some way to separate them from luffy
As for zoro and sanji yellow and orange
