With Kaidou and Big Jobber defeated, I really feel like it’s time for Blackbeard to do his move, and ruin the SH’s momentum, whilst gaining power himself, the power ups they got this arc are ridiculous, and now they could realistically fodderize him, combined with Blackbeard low popularity it does not bode well for him.
I would love it if he stole Guffy’s plot plot no mi, it would mildly sweeten the sour retcon.

Admirals stans just tell me one thing.
Wouldnt Sanji and Zoro both defeat admirals.
And that too in 4-5 chapters because Oda doesnt give them more like Queen and King.
SO it will be mid diff fight .So please enlighten me how will that be possible.
Or do you think luffy beats All admiral at once otherwise your admiralwank will be uselss except Akainu
Worthless comparison, leaving the admiral wank aside for a minute to answer honestly.
Your argument does not take into account the flow of time, and how characters will become better, an admiral is a straight upgrade from King/Queen and Shiryu/Pizarro. Just like Kaku was to Mr 1, zombie Ryuma was to Kaku, King fo Pica, etc. Oda can bullshit all types of haki in the heat of battle, that would straight up making them better, leaving any Yonkou comparision worthless to their current selves. Like, Zoro has to unlock black blades, ACoO and AcoA, maybe some other last minute bullshit as well, I’d say that’s enough.
It’s like saying Piccolo could never touch Namek Frieza, no he could easily beat him at some point, before his resurrection and power up, obviously. Second, admiral tier, Yonkou tier, YC1 YC2 etc, are completely made up terms by the fanbase, they are generally accepted for convenience’s sake, but do not really hold water. Greenbull has already shown Sanji-esque jobber like qualities and I would never put him as comparable to Akainu. Third, not all conflicts are resolved by force, Oda made sure that the majority of the cast likes Guffy, Fujitora, would be an example, Aokiji as well. That’s already two admirals and Jobberbull, he can bullshit some idiot mode for Kizaru if push comes to shove as well, like he did with Big Meme and Kaidou not killing Guffy. Only character safe from this is Akainu, as it forces gary stu to actually have emotions (PERSONAL anger, for what he did to him, rather than acting self-righteously for what happened to another character) instead of being a blank self insert, due to Ace’s death, so that would primarily be my reason for trusting Akainu’s performance, a last minute Kaguya addition like Imu, would be treated like any other Guffy’s opponent.
Fourth, I spoke about ways out Oda had regarding Admirals, but Yonkous aren’t safe either, Guffy’s crew can fodderize current Blackbeard crew, and I cannot imagine Shanks having a long (and good) fight, due to being an early character design, he’s cursed with the classical scimitar-like weapon no-name fodders usually have, not even a katana like more “competent” swordsman have, he’s the perfect candidate to job out, and put over someone as a threat, bonus point if it’s off panneled, so Oda doesn’t have to draw him. Lastly, there could still be POTENTIALLY opponents that could push the Strawhat above their current ceiling before fighting marines, like Elbaf, Dragon, whatever lives at Laugh Tale, and so on. And Kaidou? Oh boy, you’re cheering for a villain defeated not at the end of the story, in a medium infamous for the sorting algorithm of strength, this is a losing battle no matter what. Oda can easily use him as a tool to hype up the next fights Guffy has, so that Oda can play the underdog theme, like “this is one of the 7 people that fodderized Kaidou, Guffy doesn’t stand a chance after struggling so much”.
