Future Events What would be the order of next antagonists faced by Luffy?

[King Crimson]

So we are finally in the end game and we have teach, imu, shanks and akainu as the four bad dudes between luffy and laugh tale (totally understand shanks situation but lets keep him as someone luffy needs to surpass atleast) but at the same time oda kept kid and law relevant by the bounty and poneglyph attachments so they should naturally challenge them too if they want to be in the game
If we were to speculate cross guild, wevil etc as minor barriers to the final goal what do you think will be the order of enemies faced by luffy before reaching his goal?

I think there will be a clash with wevilla at elbaf first

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Minor Elbaf Villain -> Blackbeard -> Buggy/Imu

Honestly i can't think of any plot point for buggy
we are in the final saga and still his motif and amibition are kept from the readers

My hope:
Buggy will be Imus next host and buggy will be given god like powers and knowledge. Making him the god of pirates he claimed he’d be if luffy became the king of pirates.

Cross guild will take over the world government where Luffy vs Imu/Buggy will take place and Zoro vs Mihawk

 

[SakazOuki]

All out war that involves BBPs, RHPs, CG, Supernova and WG.

A clash of two admirals or two yonko level pirates almost destroyed islands for good. which island can take these many powerhouses going all out?

A long war not confined to a single place and time. Multpile factions can clash with each on different locations.

1. Minor Villain

2. SHP meeting RHP

3. BBP vs RHP

4. SHP vs BBP for PK

5. Short Timeskip
-Final War Preparations
-Zoro vs Mihawk

6. Final War vs WG (Akainu + Imu)

:cheers:

Unless BBP sneaks in Mary Geoise, holds Imu captive, and becomes the WG Ruler.

I find the second senario more likely
As luffy is going to finish roger's unfinished business the same applies to teach to finish what rocks wanted
Then we could have the battle between the sun and darkness
I hope oda doesn't go in kishimoto's route and have an entity revealed in 900ish chapter be the final villain

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

It will be an all-out war throughout the world. The grand finale of the war will be Blackbeard pirates vs Strawhat pirates.

Interim Villain -> Teach -> Akainu -> Imu

 

[milluki]

Akainu, then BB and finally Imu

 

[humanbeing2022]

I think next we will see Weevil, but if he turns to be an enemy i really have my doubts , i mean he is an idiot who is manipulated by his mother.
if sprouts something like he wants to avenge his father in front of Luffy , they will become friends if i have to make a guess i would say Luffy will go an visit Ace's grave and will find Marco and Co under attack.

 

[King Crimson]

Interim Villain -> Teach -> Akainu -> Imu

With both nika and teach's yami being hax and anti fruit overusage i can't think of akainu as a villain after teach
He will surely holds his ground as seen in marineford but with no backstory and a general purpose of "i will clean this world of evil pirates" i find him to be a big bad with no background to fill him in the lore side of the story unlike teach and imu so i won't be suprised if oda pulls out the sabo/dragon card on his end instead of luffy himself just as an answer to him permenantly scarring one and killing the other brother of sabo and him regretting not being present in marineford to do something about it

 

[Jailer]

Yes

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

blackbeard
then the Wg

Nika's power is to create something from anything.

Akainu 's power reduces everything to nothing.

Self-explanatory, really, why Luffy vs Akainu is not as easy as it sounds for Luffy. Besides, Luffy needs that closure for himself more than Sabo needs it over his regret, especially since Ace died right in front of Luffy.

But i think if destruction is your basis again teach with his gura is more compatable than akainu. Sakazuki is the true definition of offensive force and deadly rather than destruction i would say
Just look at teach's dialogue after attaining gura gura no mi
