Said it before and ima say it again but I definitely think luffy is going to fight 4 emperors and 3 admiral. Obviously each fight isn’t going fleshed out to the same extent but either way I think each will happen
For better or worse I think the emperor fights are going to be more so major battles while the admirals get the short end of the stick. Mainly due to the emperors being their own bosses while the admirals are technically working under others
Starting off with the 4 emperors luffy specifically said he’s planning to fight all 4 in the beginning of the timeskip
- Luffy already beat kaido
- Might fight big mom if she ends up going to elbaf
- He’s 100% going to fight Blackbeard
- Imo shanks might be his last obstacle before becoming pirate king. Their reunion should definitely happen
Luffy should also fight the 3 admirals specifically the primary color trio
- He fought Borsalino in egghead
- Might fight Kuzan before he takes out Blackbeard
- Might fight akainu before he fights imu
To take it a step further it’d be pretty interesting if oda decides to develop a pattern in the way Luffy fights them. With him fighting their strongest subordinates earlier on getting them out of the picture for when Luffy gets to the boss. Them all ending up being conquerors could be cool too
- Doflamingo-> Kaido
- Defeated in dressrosa so couldn’t help in wano
- Katakuri-> Linlin
- Defeated in whole cake so can’t make it up to elbaf?
- Borsalino-> Sakazuki
- While not defeated he might step away from the marines due to egghead either from his own volition or not?
- Kuzan-> Blackbeard
- Kuzan definitely should be defeated before the strawhats take on the whole crew. It’d also make Shiryu the #2 again for zoro
- As for shanks… I doubt he’s going to fight Beckman but Shanks/stabs-> Imu
- Honestly difficult to argue for shanks ngl lol
