Robin is the key to the One piece and the Strawhats have a huge advantage over their rivals. Big mom tried to use Pudding's power but gave up on her and is now trying to kidnap Robin. Same thing with Kaido. However, it is unlikely that the BPs and the BMPs will be highly relevant to the plot after Wano. With many characters mentioning the danger surrounding her, it is highly likely that someone will get information about Raftel from Robin. Without kidnapping Robin, the Blackbeard pirates can't be considered as proper rivals to the MCs. Maybe the BBPs have their own Pudding, although it is unlikely because it seems that Oda wants to preserve the uniqueness of Robin's talent
Robin is intelligent, It is how she managed to escape government agents for 20+ years. However she has a weakness in that she lets her guard down around her crew mates. It would be very weird if Oda introduces Devon's fruit which transforms her into a different person and never utilize it like he did with Bon Clay who used his powers very creatively in non combat situations. It is possible that Devon will try to trick her after the Straw hats obtain their fourth RP
This could be a good setup for Devon vs Robin matchup in the final battle. Many people speculate that Devon's opponent will be Nami because of her obsession with killing pretty women. But I see Lafitte as a more appropriate candidate for Nami
How will the BBPs find out about the RPs?
It is likely that Blackbeard already knows about their existence and will suspect that the Strawhats have more than one RP after the fall of Kaido and BM. More interestingly, the Caribou plotline is yet to be resolved and with Kaido's downfall it is likely that he will seek the Blackbeard pirates. In fact, we see a silhouette following Robin and Jinbe in chapter 979. No one is interested in following Jinbe but someone like Caribou will be very interested in Robin
Their method of extracting information?
They hunt DF users. It is likely that they have a DF for interrogations. Lafitte has been shown to be able to hypnotize marines to open the gates of justice for them. Fits his role as the 'dark navigator' of the crew
Wouldn't it be Enies lobby 2?
Robin has an ally among the BBPs, former marine admiral Aokiji
The relationship between him and the BBPs is bound to end up in betrayal, a common theme in their crew. Many people speculate about the ulterior motive of Aokiji, I think it might be something as simple as keeping a close eye on them and proving you don't have to be a marine or work under WG to serve justice. If the BBPs want to keep Robin and use her to read the poneglyphs and ancient weapons, Aokiji will help her escape similar to how Saul helped her in Ohara and will get killed. A very fitting ending for that kind of character where he redeems himself for what he did back then. It will be a good setup for the race to the OnePiece and Smoker becoming a strawhat ally
Wouldn't it affect Robin's character negatively?
Robin will help the Strawhats get to Raftel, her contribution to the crew is unaffected. She will get a closure with Aokiji and possible character development
