Speculations Will the holy knights fall in Elbaf?

#21
I highly doubt that ALL the god's knights will fall at Elbaf...it just feels weird to me. Imo, at least some of them will be saved for the final war.

If they do, then only the two who just landed on Elbaf while all others will probably be saved for Mariejois.
It ultimately depends on how much war Oda wants in the Warland.
It looks like a perfect battleground.

3 levels of huge space, it doesn't get better than that.
On the other hand, Red Line is a huge battleground as well so who knows...
It would be odd for no fights to happen in Elbaf.
I think Blackbeard Pirates will Fall in Elbaph, not Blackbeard himself though, He won't Fight there, only his Ten Commanders.
Basically if Elbaph decides to declare War on WG, while Blackbeard Negotiated to join them, it makes sense that He'd offer to Stop all Giants using his Commanders

I don't think it's a Coincidence that each and every Titanic Captain was made in a way that They can easily Stop a Squad of 100 Giants without much Effort, all their Abilities & Skills counter Armies, They are suited for such Battles, not just 1v1

And it's up to each SH to stop them, with each Titanic Captain requiring a Specific SH, such as Brook is only one who can Save Giants from Laffitte's Hypnosis, and Chopper can Heal them from Doc Q's Diseases, and Usopp can Snipe Van Augur who is too far, and Jinbe can counter Vasco's Fire ... etc

After predicting Luffy vs Kizaru, I cant say this is impossible but I am having hard time seeing his troops falling without him.
On the other hand, you might be onto something considering that Elbaf currently doesn't have enough troublemakers.
Even if 2 Holy Knight and Loki become permanent obstacles in this arc, they are still too few.
Personally, I was expecting BBPs to be the penultimate obstacle and last crew battle, only outlasted by Cross Guild and perhaps a hidden villain like Sea God.

The whole idea of Final War isn't about who Press One Piece Button, it's about who are gonna be Last Survivors,
Oda already did it with Enel, it was about who are gonna be Remaining Five,

And since you mentioned Hidden Sea God, how was it said He appeared to Vander Decken in his Legend?
It was after He Lost his entire Crew, and same thing happened in Brook's Story, it was after He lost his Crew & became Lonely that He eventually ended up in Thriller Bark, another Hint from Oda

So this Final WG War is only for Oda to wrap-up all Sub-Plots & take care of 99% of Current Cast, there is no room for Commanders anymore, Holy Knights, BB Commanders, Big Mom Pirates, Gorosei, CP-0, Revos Army, Marines, Warlords, Supernova ... etc all of these are Distractions that need to be removed so that the Story starts to focus only on SHs

Oda only needs to keep those who aren't just Obstacles for SHs but actually represent their Natural Born Enemy,
Just like Usopp was Perona's Natural Enemy & Absalom vs Sanji felt Personal, same for Chopper vs Hogback & Zoro vs Zombie Ryuma was like a Mini-WSS Duel & Oars was basically Evil Luffy + Brook's Story ... etc

It's like Oda in that Arc didn't just create Commanders for SHs to Defeat, He Created a Final Boss to each of their Stories, that's why They were called Mysterious Four & not just Moria Pirates.

So Oda only needs to keep Mihawk (Zombie Ryuma), Blackbeard (Zombie Oars), Shanks (Brook), Imu (Perona) & few more Characters to tell the Ending of SHs Stories, but if They only exist to Fight or hold a certain Rank/Position, then They will be taken care of in either Elbaph or Mary Geoise

It is entirely possible that they could

There are too many villains for them to all fall in the final war.

Between the gorosei and BBP, Oda might just have more important enemies for the SHs to face in the final war.
I don't think so, they are probably here to get hyped up.

I like this idea. Who do you pick to take out Akainu? Sabo? Dragon? Luffy? Blackbeard?

Most likely at the end of elbaf you'll see a silhouette of some nigs that are destined to be defeated in a side arc. One of them will have a familiarly crescent shaped head. Then Lanji will defeat one in the final arc and we'll have the next 5 years of Lanji fans saying that person was admiral level.

I think it's Luffy again initially,
He already fought Kizaru & regardless if People consider it a Victory or Defeat, He still delivered a Revenge Punch,
Also if SHs are gonna Fight BB Commanders without Blackbeard, then Luffy's Opponent will obviously be Aokiji,
And it makes sense that Akainu would Finish the Trilogy

However, Akainu isn't like other Main Villains, He won't have his Own Arc, He will share his Appearance with WG, but at same time, He isn't like other Commanders, He obviously doesn't exist only to have a Duel & move on, Akainu's Story will be a Self-Contained one within Final War, i believe He will go Zephyr Route & try to Destroy Everything/Everyone

He is Surtur & bringer of Ragnarok, Oda already did same thing with Zephyr who tried to blow up Grand Line using Volcanoes (Called Endpoints) with help of those Explosives He got, but Akainu doesn't need such Device, He only needs to use his own Power to cause a Chain Reaction, and i knew this is coming one day the moment Oda showed us a Volcano near Fish-Man Island & then showed us another Teaser in Wano, not to mention Kanjuro who was also used in similar way, and also Goa Kingdom had such Plot as well, where Dragon said that it's just a Mini-Example of what would happen to entire World

I won't explain why, cuz We will get more Info about him soon, but i believe that there is a High Chance, it's gonna be Loki who puts an End to Akainu once & for all, saving the World & this is very important, because for People to befriend Elbaph Giants & let them join in Next Post-CDs Levely, They need to see their King Loki save the World, not Threaten it

This arc really needs a villain, and looking at how Loki is a good fella, Pranks will be most likely the main villain.

He can return to the final battle even if he is defeated this arc.
It would be weird to see him defeated so soon. Just for you to know, none of the main villains of the latest arc (og Gorosei + Kizaru) appeared in that double-spread, and, while it's fair to think that they got a L since they failed their mission, none of them was clearly defeated in battle (Saturn got really beaten, but his regen actually made him look invincible, so it's still up for debate how the SHs will overcome the Gorosei).

Maybe they'll be expelled back to Mary Geoise, like the Gorosei were in Egghead? We don't even know the full extent of their abilities, maybe they're "immortal" (i.e., they can't be killed by ordinary means) like the Gorosei too. I'm still not sure about how things will play out.
