General & Others The faces of the battle for the one piece

[Albino 👑]

So most of characters shown in the spread each represent the face of specific factions. We got each of the 4 emperors, the fleet admiral of the marines, supreme commander of the revolutionary army, and obviously the secret supreme ruler of the world government

We also got the 2 Figarland’s who post egghead due to Saturn’s death and Garling’s promotion are pretty much the face of Imu’s main 13. Garling now being the new face of the gorosei and Shamrock now being the face of the knights of god

There’s still 2/3 that stick out that being Koby, Sabo, and Kuzan

1. In Koby’s case he technically isn’t the face of sword at the moment because Drake. Tho imo he’s likely going to leave soon to leave room for Koby to take the full lead. Drake maybe hopefully joining Law
2. Sabo at the moment while an important member of the revolutionary army is still just another member. Maybe he’ll soon get is own specific subdivision of people to lead. Maybe he gets Bentham to mirror Ivankov, bonney while kuma helps dragon, Lilith while dragon gets vegapunk stella, Rebecca while riku helps dragon, etc etc. pretty much he gets the prince and princess while the king and queens follow dragon
3. Kuzan: I don’t know what the group would be but him being a spy or a traitor with his own motivations against Blackbeard isn’t a new theory. I guess he could represent sword but eh that means Koby doesn’t. Maybe he’s a secret revolutionary or something and they have their own version of sword that goes undercover in emperor crews. Kuzan just being the biggest one idk

So as of now

• Buggy: cross guild
• Blackbeard: Blackbeard pirates
• Luffy: straw hat pirates
• Shanks: red haired pirates
• Sabo: ?
• Kuzan: ?
• Garling: 5 elders
• Koby: sword (soon)
• Imu: world government
• Dragon: revolutionary army
• Shamrock: holy knights
• Sakazuki: marines

Shamrock is right handed

It's the big main factions (Yonko, WG, Revs) and the micro factions within them.

Akainu cares for the Marines, more than the WG.
Koby cares for SWORD, not for the corrupt Marines at large.
Garling cares for the WG, even at the expenses of the Marines.
Shamrock, imo, has his own agenda, putting the Figarlands above even IMU.

Sabo is for a brand-new, bold type of revolution, while Dragon represents the slow, methodical, decades-long approach.

Kuzan has his own agenda, separate from BB and opposing Akainu's (though maybe still aligned with Koby's).

Luffy/BB are sides of the same coin, black/white, liberate/destroy the world.

Shanks/Buggy are the Japanese archetype of the red oni/blue oni, both wanting the world for different reasons, one out of selflessness, the other out of greed (which could turn ironic if they are both reveales to descend from actual AK royalty, one via the redhead clan, the other as a Nefertari).
