Future Events Im-Sama is Dragon's nemesis, he won't be the final villain and Luffy won't fight him.
- Thread starter Extravlad
- Start date
Oda basically already laid out the ending of OP, when he said that "the most exciting/adventurous part of OP will be over in 5 years"
He plans to make Luffy PK by then, which means Blackbeard will be defeated in that timespan.
Like you said, that doesn't mean OP is over though.
This entire story has been leading up to "the dawn", "the final war", "CDs vs the will of D" etc., which will happen after those 5 years.
Luffy will go up against Imu and the CDs. I bet that Imu will also be his final fight. The ultimate D vs the ultimate CD. The fight for the freedom of the world, with 900 years of history on Luffy's back.
It makes no sense that he will just fight someone like Akainu during the final war. Not only does it contribute absolutely nothing towards the "CD vs will of D" storyline, it's also just boring at this point. Luffy will have defeated prime-BB by then, Akainu really isn't much of a challenge after that.

So what is Dragon's purpose for the entire story ?
- Why was he created ?
- Why was he already introduced during chapter 100?
- Why did he offer his life upon creating a force that directly opposes the tenryuubito when in the end he won't even get a shot at it or get washed in his first attempt.
Dragon is a D. Dragon's goal is to take down the tenryuubito and he'll eventually fight Imu.
Why are u so fast to say that Akainu won't be that much of an issue by that time, it would just mean that Akainu is stronger than u guys give him credit for.
Besides, we don't even know if Luffy will 1v1 Blackbeard, that's literally headcanon as of now.

Because Akainu simply isn't important compared to BB or Imu.
He has zero business with the clan of D or void century.
That automatically disqualifies him from endgame villain material whether you like it or not.
Imho Dragon's purpose is to fail. He and the revolutionaries will help Luffy in the final war, but will ultimately fail. Luffy will bring the dawn after all, as it has been foreshadowed all along.

Either Akainu or Teach will be the final villain. I agree that Dragon should fight Imu.
But the most hilarious scenario would be that neither of them is actually a real fighter lol.
I doubt though.
At least from what we saw with Dragon vs Smoker.
Definitely disagreed. Akainu is the head of the biggest military faction in OP which is foreshadowed to break off from the Government at some point. There's much more lore regarding Akainu that we haven't touched yet. You're making up your mind far too early.
Have u read his backstory yet ?
Akainu may have close ties too Dragon given the anger he shows towards him, so if anything, Dragon may fight Akainu and not Imu.
But to say that Dragon's only role in the series is to Job to Imu would be so damn dumb and underwhelming. No way Oda would go with that. Dragon ain't no scabbard.
How do you know that Im is even a combatant?
There are just too many variables we are not aware off.
Also, Akainu is an endgame villain. Maybe not the main one, but he will be one just like how Kabuto, Obito or Madara were endgame villains before Kaguya.
