Speculations How would you frame the presumed last 3 arcs?

Shanks is one of the worst matchups possible for Teach too. If Teach is straight up strong enough to overcome him, this would make him a god against a DF based fighter.
We're getting that Shanks whooping BB ass to offscreen win for Teach - pure asscheeks
Or
We're getting some interference allowing BB to gain the upperhand, and win semi onscreen.
Or
We ain't getting it at all, Shanks doesn't lose.
All 3 are ass options. Imagine hyping up a confrontation but then too scared to follow through with it, cause you don't have any ability to write creative battles other than relying on the reveal factor.

You guys keep misunderstanding what was stated by Roger. Lodestar is the last island by Log Pose. There is an island beyond that (Laugh Tale) that can only be reached by the RPs. He specifically says that in "order to circumnavigate the globe" he needs to find Laugh Tale. By definition that means he must go beyond Lodestar.
I.e. yes, you need to go to Lodestar to get to Laugh Tale. No it is not a "wish" statement.

Or they all just meet (as in all Yonko) in one War, not at random spaced out events anymore.

Why wouldnt they go to Lodestar if thats where the Log Poses end? All the RPs do is point to a specific spot in Grandline after it, you NEED to still follow log poses at that point because the ocean may end up turning you around otherwise.

Or #4, everyone just fights everyone in the battle for the 4th RP. So you get Blackbeard vs Shanks at one point, but you also get 700 different other events happening at that point because Oda cant help himself.

Why would it be? Oda might spend 150-200 chapters on that event. Thinking that we'll get some isolated event where BBP and RHP fight to the death and it NOT be offscreened (let alone justified) if Luffy isnt there is bollocks.
Oda barely gave Garp 4 chapters by HIMSELF, Law barely 2 chapters and he gave Kid barely one chapter, how can he justify Shanks losing or remotely fighting Blackbeard (crew vs crew) onscreen, let alone any victor from that event on or offscreen?
A big war that Oda has been trying to draw for 20 years would justify any battle you can think of being shown onscreen, because Luffy will also be present.
But anyway, its frankly naive to think we'll get actual complete fights to begin with that dont involve the Strawhats. If Shanks ends up clashing with Teach, I expect to be just that, a clash and few trading blows. Same with any other faction vs any other faction. And yes, some characters may end up losing with barely any screentime (see Jack, half the F6, several of BMs children in WCI, many DR fights that didnt involve Franky or Robin, half the VAs in Egghead, etc), thats the nature of how Oda does conflicts these days.
