It’s such a shockingly obvious concept that you may think saying something this glaringly straightforward is unnecessary, but there are somehow people who still don’t get it, so this is indeed a necessary thread.
Pirates embody freedom in One Piece. This is how Oda has always presented them, for the most part, always attempting to impose their own personal methods of freedom upon the rest of the World.
The World Government represents authority, their own mantras on “Justice” define their desire to take people’s freedoms away from them.
Luffy believes the Pirate King is the “most free man on the Sea,” and the World Government are the only faction trying to snuff out such Freedom while every other Pirate is trying to embody this idea, in one way or another.
This is how you write a story, when you know what you’re doing. You start with an idea, and then you explore variations on that idea.
Luffy is a variation of Oda’s own view of what Freedom is. So is Blackbeard. So is Whitebeard. So is Law. So is Doflamingo. So is Kaido.
Pirates in One Piece are meant to embody the idea Living Freely in one way or another, and thus no Pirate in this manga is fit to be the ultimate opposition to the idea of Freedom.
The ultimate opposition to Freedom, within One Piece, is Justice-the idea of taking someone’s freedom away from them. The World Government are the ones attempting to do this on the largest scale imaginable. They are literally trying to bury the legacy of the Pirate King and Pirates along with it.
No Pirate is fit to be the ultimate enemy of this manga, because ideologically they cannot be. Pirates are all about their own views and beliefs surrounding freedom, and the Government is all about destroying that very freedom.
In conclusion, only the ones who embody Justice are fit to be the Final Villains. And on that note,
