General & Others With last chapter, can we say Blackbeard is final villain ?

Well of course. Blackbeard will be the one fighting Luffy for the final Poneglyph & the One Piece.
Everything else is a red herring.

● Shanks will lose to Blackbeard or the Marines/WG or even that hidden figure.

● Buggy won't fight anyone but will somehow stumble on some treasure (not the OP).

● The Revolutionaries are gonna fight Imu & the CDs, to change the World (they're not going for the OP).

● Kuzan is working with someone [either the Revolutionaries or Sword].

● Akainu is against everyone pictured [directly or Indirectly].

The only one on there that wants everything luffy wants [albeit in a twisted way], is Blackbeard.
 
- Blackbeard will be the final obstacle for the One Piece, he will be Luffy's main fight and he is the perfect antagonist of Luffy

- Imu will be JoyBoy's opponent after Luffy reaches Laugh Tale and has the One Piece, one has to reach Laugh Tale to even understand what happened to the world and Imu is JoyBoy's antagonist
Imu's secrecy isn't even a secret anymore with the revs knowing about him

Wapol also doed LOL.

History can be understood without him around too, not a problem. Or both him and Blackbeard become part of the same arc

I am leaning towards both BB and Imu being in final arc. WG has to fall at the end of the manga, but I think BB should Luffy's last fight, possibly after taking Imu's fruit. Kind of like MF, where there were multiple parties involved.

Yes, WG can fall in final arc (does not make sense for BBP to be final villains as organisation compared to WG) but I hope BB backstabs Imu and takes his fruit.
That final arc doesn't mean much now.

If everyone is participating in battle royale then it's open game now.

And, I want to bet on BB because he is opportunistic then anyone else in the game.

Oda did say one piece will end when treasure will be found and now he has ensured that all stakeholders goes for it and fight it out.

And, pirate vs pirate to get one piece - two Ds with ultimate rivalry fits the end
 
People forget that even if Blackbeard gives off FV energy, his crew doesn't.
Like do you see his wings reaching Prime Rayleigh level or higher? Shiryu is supposedly his best aside from Kuzan and guy would get destroyed by old Rayleigh, someone current Blackbeard still fears.
I could easily see BB and crew falling next arc to strawhats with their current portrayal.
There's nothing to suggest all wings need to be on Prime Rayleigh's level, only the number two. Even if Shiryu isn't on Prime Rayleigh's problem, he'd be no different from Marco and Kuzan would be the Oden-level fighter.

If EOS Zoro's at Prime Rayleigh level that means Sanji's basically there to.
If Shiryus not on that level (he won't be), then that just shows BB pirates aren't the pirate king level crew in this story.
I mean BB vs Law compared to Shanks vs Kidd already shows that. BB is currently weaker than Luffy, Big Mom, and Kaido seeing his performance vs Law. Compare that to how easily Shanks defeats Kidd. The BB pirates aren't lasting to the final 100 chapters.

Ben and Rayleigh have been heavily implied to be top tiers. Neither Roux nor Gaban had such portrayals.

The BB Pirates will be the Straw Hat Pirates' version of the WB Pirates, so they will at least be close.

Teach is the guy you're supposed to underestimate until he really starts rolling.

You know Sanji resembles Rayleigh, Ben, Marco, King far more than Gaban, Roo, Jozu, and Queen. Even 40 year old Sanji is basically Rayleigh with curly eyebrows instead of glasses.

But even if you ignore that, just strictly talking about Zoro vs Shiryu, only 1 of those 2 will reach that Rayleigh level. Hell Shiryu df is just invisibility, you would think he would have been given something much greater if he was the final fight for Zoro.
 
In the grand scheme of things
Luffy > Blackbeard > Shanks > Buggy >>> Imu
For villains it's Imu >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blackbeard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Buggy

Appearance is irrelevant. None of those number twos were ever treated as Sanji's counterpart, and Roux is the chef of the Red-Hair Pirates.

Shiryu may not be Zoro's last battle. He could be Zoro's final stepping stone before he fights Mihawk.

Not just appearance, fighting style like Marco, intelligence like them all, perv like Rayleigh, etc. Personality and appearance goes to those 4, Even the Roo example would just be 1 of 4 at best.

As for Shiryu, if BBs #2 is just a stepping stone what do you think that means for the rest of his crew? why can't BB also be a "stepping stone" for Imu then?
