[@icedempyre6029]

It's really not very odd for the straw hat's matchups to be introduced shortly before they fight each other. Usually it's during the arc itself so if we view the god's knights in that context, they're actually being introduced relatively early here. But I suspect maybe they'll actually be matched up with the revolutionaries. Makes more sense for the straw hats to deal with the marines while the revs deal with the fighting force of the celestial dragons. But who knows. And there are of course the seraphim...

[@badmagik8957]

There’s only like 5 strong revolutionaries though and that’s being generous

[@KatsuImagitian]

If the Holy Knights end up fighting the Revs I can only see it being as a flex on their strength as the guardians of the Celestial Dragons. Like they'll make them fight the Commanders (Karasu, Lindbergh, Morely, Belo Betty) and Vice Commanders only to demolish them for feats before actually having competition with Dragon, Sabo, and Iva.

[@joelcoll4034]

​@@KatsuImagitian the commanders were fighting ADMIRALS this past chapter, even if they were nerfed....

[@michaelpeak2438]

See I’m torn on this somewhat, because I agree that contextually it makes sense for the Revolutionaries to confront them. But oddly I’m doubtful that they will be successful in that clash, and it could possibly even lead to Dragon getting taken out. Also I’ve always envisioned Sabo being the one to take out Akainu even more so than Luffy. That would setup a moment for Sabo to achieve vengeance for him and Luffy as well as redeem Ace’s fruit that was powerless against him at the time.

[@Karont3s0]

is it not viable that the seraphim would be "converted" to the rev. army / strawhat cause? (considering vegapunk position with seraphim/straw hats/rev.army) only york's comand is preventing that and that may be "temporary"(forgot the gorosei chain of comand but assuming they are out, imu remaining, (also, can the gorosei override vegapunk orders without being near or as near as vegapunk? what if saturn, who is coming to egghead, gives that "beneficial" order?) ). it would enable rev. army / seraphim attacking the defending holy knights. maybe not all seraphim convert due to their own "adult form" will?( assuming that bonnie aged them) - should have replied here

[@PGPatrick625]

I just remembered in Skypiea that there was the whole battle royale thing to see who would make it on Enels ship. Maybe something similar will happen in the final saga where the straw hats don’t necessarily go toe to toe with the black beards or with the world government but everyone goes toe to toe with each other and we see multiple groups taking each other out. Also, just like how the winners in skypiea got to ascend, maybe the winners of the final saga will be the new gods?? Edit: Enel wanted to take 5 people, there are 5 elders. Elder origin story?

Ngl I found the situation growing strange before the Holy Knights were introduced. The Gorosei are yet to be confirmed actual fighters of note, the Admirals are even more questionable with certain characters loyalties (Akainu and Fujitora) if the truth comes out about Imu, and CP0 just got outgunned by current SHs. Im honestly needed this additional completely loyal subordinates for when their time comes. Hopefully the Knights get introduced soon and are characterized with some depth before the end.

[@bennybeck]

I still kinda lean Seraphim because of reasons you stated, they are literally the angels of god. Their infant stage has them giving yonko trouble just off of their defense alone, they have elite skills from very seasoned high level pirates, devil fruits copied to suit their skills and if they didn’t have a fruit before they were given one now. The potential to awaken and use haki is still on the table, if they are able to reach the next stage of development it will be scary, final stage idk who would be able to beat them. I love the potential of an S-Hawk vs Zoro you’d essentially have the “son” of Mihawk built to one day be superior to him and then you have Mihawk’s protege who has fought hard to surpass him in a more natural way, a rivalry can be set here and Hawk is a culmination of major Zoro duels. The holy knight’s definitely feel like Rev opponents especially w Sabo being target number 1 and also these guys don’t really have as much build up where the Seraphim where hyped up to being able to replace a whole world power. Angels sounds like a bigger deal than knight’s especially if you want to get biblical w it Seraphim are like the highest ranking angels, the closest ones to god.

[@RyanYoxo]

the seraphim suck.

[@bennybeck]

@@RyanYoxo they’re babies, yonko Luffy, king of hell Zoro who already beat a lunerian, cp0 Lucci and Kaku are struggling but yes they sure “suck”. And if it does take adcoc to beat them throw their defense it only makes them look better because everyone won’t have access to that power, unless you speed blitz them w their flame down and hit hard enough what else can you do.

[@RyanYoxo]

@@bennybeck they won’t win a battle on defence alone. And unfortunately vegapunk used kings DNA which is a detriment as the power sacrifices durability for speed or speed for durability, if he used kaido DNA they would be more powerful. And even if they were older, what’s to say they would get the same battle experience as their warlord counter parts? You saw how freaked out vegapunk was over a simple laser tech being used on them they weren’t battle ready for that,also how easily Blackbeard delt with one, even the Amazon lily warriors would of destroyed one if it wasn’t for it looking like their queen Boa..

[@bennybeck]

@@RyanYoxo you have a point who’s to say if they inherit battle experience, I couldn’t say but I see the potential because we see them fight similarly to their originals, S-Hawk alone already has mountain caliber cutting feat possibly without haki? And I’m aware defense alone isn’t enough it’s just that when the very top caliber of fighters struggle to penetrate the defense and also have defenses superior to the top caliber fights as a baseline is scary because it means there’s a really limited selection of people that can beat them. King was an elite commander either you need overwhelming power or incredible speed (w good power behind it) to actually harm him (lunerians in general). They aren’t the biggest threat right now but I just want to highlight the potential because we have been told they are infants and have the potential to get stronger and have possible access to awaken. My assumption is that as they grow they’ll get the same skills as their originals and the more they grow the potential to surpass them because to me why even be so confident in replacing the Warlords if you can’t get something better, it’s already better that they are obedient but I think it’s important for their threat level to surpass the ogs. With this being the final saga I expect their growth rate will be incredibly fast.

[@KarakuraNinja]

I don't think the dramatic aura for gorosei would have worked because they would have taken too much attention, I always felt like Oda tried to measure expectations and limit how much of the overarching story was shown to keep people interested in current arcs, so this would be consistent with the belief I had, if Oda hyped up things for 1000 chapters later, it would diminish the enjoyment of the series for the next decade or so because the audience would be thinking 'when will this arc end' rather than living in the present. The same can be said for Wano where Oda tried to isolate the story at that point and freeze everything to keep the reader more fixated on the present, though it fit too thematically because Wano was an isolated country. He probably knew he had to use these story telling techniques for a series he planned to go on for a very long time. I remember playing Kingdom Hearts 3 and wanting every world to end just to get more of the main story, which ruined my enjoyment of the game and its good moments in their respective disney worlds. Maybe Oda wanted the gorosei introduced without too much hype, maybe they will get a proper re-intro later on with the fear factor. They have to be worth something to have their positions.

[@jackroberts2704]

Oda has also given some big fights to non-Strawhats recently (Big Mom vs Law and Kid, Jack vs Inuarashi). Its possible some of the God's Knights could end up fighting Dragon, Sabo, or a team up between the Revolutionaries and the Strawhats.

I really don’t get people’s obsession with wanting the Gorosei and now the Gods Knights being Admiral level.

That means you have 14 additional Admiral or even near Admiral level people (for those who are gonna say they aren’t quite Admiral level) on top of the actual 3 Admirals you have, plus Fleet Admiral. So 18 Admiral - near Admiral dudes… Are we being serious rn?! Even if you take out Fujitora that’s still 17 of them my guy. If that comes to be true then I’ll be asking why the hell have the World Gov not gone round and decimated each Yonko crew, cos if they have this many top tiers they sure as hell can do it and not listening to anyone say they can’t. About God’s Knights are there just to protect Im sama yo stfu with the cap.

[@Kaste11]

This conversation almost feels irrelevant, when freakin Big Mom, that was set up as Luffy's opponent since Fishman Island, ended up being Law's and Kid's fight, with Luffy not even punching her once. Her crew's opponent was apparently a waterfall. So, I feel like we should set ourselves up for disappointment and a million ofscreens and weird sidelinings of characters (oh no the Gorousei fell from the Red Line buy slipping on banana peels, now no one will fight them). Oda can deliver with stuff like Shanks in Elbaf Davy Back fight, maybe leaves and we have a Big Mom return, Teach and Mihawk in Laughtale, war in New Marineford vs Akainu and marines onto second war to a now unguarded Mary Geoise vs Gorosei, Im, Knights and CP0. But, I don't think he will. Wano was the test drive and he dropped the ball hard with the BM pirates and BM herself. Unless, again, they make a return. But add to that the 3 years timetable bullshit and you can tell that he plans to mix everything together with probably worse results than Wano. Hope I'm wrong and he delivers with a 500 chapters final saga. 🙏

[@jmnizgr8]

It makes more sense for Zoro and Mihawk to clash ceremoniously, or at Rafael after all other battles. This makes sense too because Blackbeard and Cross Guild are all aiming for the One Piece now. I also can’t think of a circumstance that would have Mihawk and Zoro fight before the crew addresses the World Government, especially now that the storylines with Vegapunk, revolutionaries, Kuma and The Strawhats all converge

[@celrokproduction]

For the future matchup, the most likely scenario is this one FOR ME: Mugiwara crew with the revolutionnary will go to Marijoa, Blackbeard will come there latter with Garp's body to break the Marine and elevate even more his beef with Luffy at the end of the arc. The marine and the Celestial dragon will lose (Luffy beating Akainu, Zoro beating Fujitora and Sanji beating Kizaru or GreenBull), the 9 sacred knight will lose too BUT Imu will defeat Dragon and/or Sabo, with the help of the ultimate weapon, The mystery of the forgotten years is revealed by Morgan, and BlackBeard shows up and display Garp's corpse while destroying everything in sight. Imu in his last effort to control everything goes to Laught Tales by himself to get the One Piece, BlackBeard follow suit. Then at Laught Tale We'll have a BIG battle royale between Imu and his sacred Weapon, Mugiwara's crew, Cross Guild crew, Red Hair crew and BlackBeard Crew AND the rest of the marine lead by Koby. So you can imagine something like: - Koby +marines + Zoro vs Cross Guild (for the Zoro vs Mihawk fight + ZoroxTashigi fight/teamup) -> Koby, Zoro and the marines win, but are left too weak, Buggy is lucky enought to stay alive and hide himself trying to finess the one piece. - Blackbeard vs Red Hair Pirate + Mugiwara's crew (Yassop-Usoop teamup, ect...) -> everyones are out (Luffy's crew survive, Red Hair's crew survive but Shanks die, BlackBeard crew lose/die but Backbeard comes out victorious vs Shanks) - Luffy + Sabo/Dragon vs Imu and his Ultimate weapons -> Imu and sabo/Dragon are out along with the Ultimate Weapons, Luffy is victorious - Luffy vs Black Beard is setup with Shanks Death, but Koby intervene and we'll have Koby vs BlackBeard -> Koby lose but don't die (saved by Luffy maybe). - Luffy vs BlackBeard -> Luffy lose the first time, BlackBeard get to see the One piece and proclame himself the Pirate king, but Luffy comes back for round 2 - Luffy vs BlackBeard round 2 -> Luffy win and get the one piece, making him the Pirate King, and after realizing his dream GIVE the One Piece to Buggy since he don't need it anymore, OR even funnier Drop it into the sea of lose it somewhere and Buggy and his crew are the one who find it, making Buggy the "Figure head Pirate King" while the true pirate king, Luffy will go on other adventure with his friend. That is how I see it. What do you think?

[@PharaohofAtlantis]

I think that Zoro vs Mihawk is a really good "Epilogue" event AFTER the One Piece is claimed. After many dreams are won by the Straw Hats and the world is changed we get the fight which has been the longest in the making. Not only does Zoro vs Mihawk (currently) not have any story implications really but if it comes after Luffy to the world would be Pirate King he can tell Zoro, "you need to defeat Mihawk. I can't be the Pirate King without the Strongest Swordsman". Luffy being willing to give up the title and/or the One Piece itself if Zoro doesn't win is really enticing to me. Straw Hat + BB "team up" vs the Gorosei(?), Imu(?), and the God's Knights then fight each other after - theme being to control the world. People vs Gods. The Straw Hats final opponents are BB pirates. The Seraphim fight against the revolutionaries as there is a sort of "less than human" and "greater than human" theme for both sides. The allies (Pirates in vague terms) fight the Admirals and Navy.

A 4-way battle for the last Road Poneglyph with all the Yonko (Blackbeard, Luffy, Shanks and Buggy) crews present, Shanks will meet Luffy and then the two will fight Blackbeard and then themselves for the Poneglyph (Maybe the winner will have to fight the Man Marked By Flames too). After Laugh Tale we will have a Pirates and Revolutionaries vs World Government and Marines battle, which involves Luffy, Law, Kid, Shanks, SWORD, Grand Fleet and all Straw Hats allies vs Imu, Gorosei, Holy Knights, Seraphim, CP0 and the Marines (The Admirals and the stronger Vice Admirals will have the focus).

[@karnvirbhangu334]

A final battle has already been confirmed post laughtale by oda. I think you are right in that those mixtures of factions will battle it out

[@tortuga_gris]

God's Knights having the last Poneglyph is the perfect excuse for all factions to clash in a masive Battle Royale. I really want that to happen.

[@grizzlyadams8277]

I have a theory that the head God’s Knight is actually centuries old and was Ryuma’s swordsman rival back in the day. Maybe he’s the one who took Ryuma’s eye. This would make him a sort of unknown figure because he’s actually a man out of time. It would also make him the best possible opponent for a WSS Zoro.

I think everything will be chaotic, even if IM end up being the most powerful, I think they will get beaten before blackbeard or akainu, this wouldn't be the first manga where the stronges enemy get defeated before the FINAL fight. I don't think Oda will make any clean strawhat matchups

I'm feeling a mix of Skypeia and Thriller Bark. I'm expecting both a huge free-for-all like on Upper Yard AND some sort of forced team-ups against massive enemies like they did with Oars.

[@vigenere-key-montello]

Yeah, the mix and match option was what I considered most likely since the beginning.

[@Gam1ngGor1lla]

There are a lot of One Piece characters that are going to be in this Final War. Most of our beloved favorite characters are going to fight *against* the world government. This includes many marines, many good pirates and even bad pirates, much like how Crocodile helped Luffy during Marineford, despite being an enemy of Luffy and Whitebeard earlier on in the war. For this reason I personally see the Seraphim as going up against the many great, strong allies that the Straw Hat pirates are going to have. Maybe it could be previous warlords fighting against their new selves, for example. I think God's Knights are going to be the final end game straw hat opponents and the reason that the Seraphim are being hyped up so much is to add tension to the "lesser" fights we're going to get with side characters. Imagine how intense a fight between Smoker and S-hawk would be.

[@Mantosasto]

I like more the idea of a immense and crazy battle royale, as is being said in some other comments. Everyone versus everyone. Imagine the unexpected truces and alliances made when a third party joins the fry. Like a Strawhat fighting a titanic captain, then a god knight appears and said titanic captain proposes a truce, maybe backstabing the SW while the fight goes on.

[@izzybar9470]

I really enjoyed this and i agree But i think a way of making the marines fight the strawhats is this: Catarina Devon kills one of the gorosei with Laffitte while turning into Luffy The gorosei become very mad and sent akainu+2 admirals to finish the strawhats They fight and the strawhats win Then maybe in the same or one arc after Luffy fights BB It isnt that possible but i see it happening because the gorosei are 5 of the most important people, also i feel like they wouldnt like to take the l So maybe they send them to kill the strawhats and make the newspapers say “one of the 5 elder stars sacrificed their life to defeat the Emperor, Strawhat Luffy So after Akainu and BB Luffy fights Imu

[@carbon-dim7993]

I also want to point out that the Seraphim are hinted to have their own personality (especially shown with kid Boa) and that makes them tragic characters that were born to follow orders despite that. The fact that they actually have emotions and thoughts of their own, along with the fact that they cannot disobey orders would mean that it would be tragic for them to die as mindless "robots". The theme of One Piece is freedom and what better way to free the characters that were born slaves!? Finally, God's Knights are people who most likely chose to side with Imu but the Seraphim were born to follow orders..they do not have malice they just do what they are told so.

[@westhawk7259]

I hope god knights aren't the final opponents it just seems a little lazy considering the buildup of Blackbeard and the animosity too akainu

[@sammyttheg412]

The problem with these changes of directions oda takes is that the create some real questions. Look i love op have been reading it for 2/3rds of my life, but oda isnt infallible. With luffys fruit being the nika instead of the gomma it creates a ton of problems. For example if the gorosei knew that luffy actually had the nika fruit and that it was joy boys fruit they shouldve taken stopping him early on much more seriously and sent an op force with akainu and a bunch of vice admirals to stop him in the east blue or early in the grand line. Now with these gods knights if they were really strong what the hell have they been doing the whole story. Why is the state of the op world the way it is. Send a few gods nights few pacifistas an admiral or two and whipe out the yonko in a second. Its so bizarre

[@juniorrose5138]

Wym ? The Yonko has a whole territory and a whole crew lmaoo imagine fighting Roger and Rayleigh and Gaban and Oden…. + the other on the crew… Admiral,Pacifistas and a « few god’s knights » is not enough. Same can be say for Big Mom, Kaido, Whitebeard etc… They have really strong pirates on their side don’t forget.

[@gemodemplay415]

The gap between strawhat members is insanely huge. You can't have the Strawhats fight the God's knight. I would argue Usopp cannot even defeat the top vice admirals like Momonga and such. The weaklings of the Strawhat are weak. You can't have them fight admiral level characters. Think about it. It is not a necessity to have all the Strawhats fight a certain group. Some can team up or some members of that group can be defeated by other top fighters of other factions. I get your points but to me they don't have much sense to be honest.

[@fellowkrieger457]

You forget to include Dragon and other revolutionaries like Ivankov into tte final fight. The Pacifistas are also built up to take some part of involvement into Vegapunk's plan.

[@ryancason6148]

God's knights are there for the grand fleet to fight. That's the legendary thing they're going to do I believe.

[@jtanimeandnerd101]

I get the feeling when the final battle comes along, or the prelude of the final battle. The Gorosei are all going to be killed at the same time by someone. Because with every one of their appearances, it feels like their being built up to eventually be kill fodder for a big upcoming event. I could be wrong, it's just that that's the impression I've been getting with every one of their appearances, which so far has never left the conference room, other than when Imu makes her appearances.

[@Greg12839]

They have powers

[@the_man_emperor_of_mankind]

My idea for how the final saga might go is this, all the yonko and their crews go after either the marked by flames or run into each other at laughtale. And its an all out battle royale, it would let Zoro fight Mihawk, it would let Blackbeard and Luffy fight. Who knows what match ups might happen After the fight Luffy is declared King of the Pirates as he finds out the truth of the world he turns his eyes towards the red line and sends out the order for the fleet to gather Luffy may coordinate with the revs and his fleet and other allies and orders all out war as he prepares to destroy the celestial dragons And the straw hats and revs fight a combination of high ranked marines, God's Knights, and seraphim and Luffy and dragon teamup to beat Im, kinda like the end scene of film red with Luffy and Shanks

[@doncourts]

I think oda fumbled with CP0. They should have been the real gods knights .Revealing Rob lucci even with his awakening is weakest member would be hype. Realistically Cpo wasn’t needed on Wano take them out and nothing changes in To the story. Would have been great to see their real strength now

[@fellowkrieger457]

Yep exactly.

[@christiancorralejo8726]

Any possibility of two (or more) on one matchups including two opponents against a straw hat? It would be impressive feat if a single straw hat is able to defeat more than one strong opponent at once.

[@IronBrotherhood4]

The Revolutionaries need an opponent to fight, I feel like they may go against the admirals or part of them, Fujitora has to defect here soon, and sword needs an opponent too

[@cheesypeanutbutterapplesau5660]

I think that looking at the pattern of how strong characters are introduced to disprove that the Gorosei are at/above admiral level is a bit flawed, as they could be meant to be the exception

[@AxelVenturatheboss]

I disagree I don’t think zoro has to fight someone stronger as long as they’re relative and makes sense to the story it’ll be great

[@Karont3s0]

is it not viable that the seraphim would be "converted" to the rev. army / strawhat cause? (considering vegapunk position with seraphim/straw hats/rev.army) only york's comand is preventing that and that may be "temporary"(forgot the gorosei chain of comand but assuming they are out, imu remaining, (also, can the gorosei override vegapunk orders without being near or as near as vegapunk? what if saturn, who is coming to egghead, gives that "beneficial" order?) ). it would enable rev. army / seraphim attacking the defending holy knights. maybe not all seraphim convert due to their own "adult form" will?( assuming that bonnie aged them)

[@KakosKairos]

7:38 A point here: we know who they are fighting too Akainu is the red dog, Luffy is represented as red Kizaro the yellow monkey, sanji is represented as yellow Greenbull as Zoro is represented as green

To be honest, I’m not even mad that Oda decided to thumb suck some hidden strong group out of nowhere because at least he recognized that world government/marines were really Lacking

[@thunderdrill8226]

I think the seraphim could be who the other straw hats fight while the monster trio fight the admirals Luffy VS Akainu Zoro and Sanji VS The Admirals Jimbei VS S-Shark Brook VS S-Bat (Upgrade on the villain of Thriller Bark againt the crewmate we go there) Franky VS S-Bear (Cyborg VS Seraphim based on a cyborg) Robin VS S-Croc (Robin used to work for Crocodile and is now fighting a stronger version of him) Ussop VS S-Flamingo (The God Ussop thing starts in Dressrosa, so him fighting its villain makes sense) Nami VS S-Snake (Nami is the one who cares the most about her beuaty so she makes the most sense) That leaves the weird Chopper VS S-Hawk, BUT it can be solved by it being a 2v2 Robin and Chopper VS S-Croc and S-Hawk, the seraphim based on the cross guild members

[@drivforc7867]

I hope it's akainu - luffy sanji - kizaru zoro - fujitora jinbe - greenbull

[@MrBassem95]

Personal Theory is Imu ate the Mangaka Zoan devil fruit. So in the final battle I could see Imu trapping people in the pages of his Manga and Luffy as a cartoon character breaking the 4th wall to fight him. Or Im can draw strong opponents for the Strawhats, maybe the Gorosei are some of his creations. I think the final battle will be a fight between a cartoonist and a cartoon.

[@smartlearning6390]

I will have whatever he is having

[@cnett486]

The big thing to me is that, I would expect, or hope, that Oda would clarify when the Straw Hats are complete. A chapter like, "The Final Straw Hat Arrives" or something. But yeah, there are at least 9 Holy Knights, but 10 Titanic Captains. Either 9 is not the full number of the Knights, or Kuzan leaves the BB pirates. I do think that, as you say, Kuzan may not fully be aligned with BB, but he may still fight on their side against the Straw Hats if he believed that the SHs would prevent him in accomplishing his goal. It may not be so much that he's a villain, but that his goal might be compromised by ignoring them.

[@a.N.....]

Big fight with black beard pirates, invasion of Marie jois and battle against admirals and seraphim. And finally the IM saga and defeat of IM and the holy knights.

[@Kekkersboy]

Other than Luffy Sanji Zorro the strae hats don't usually do climactic 1v1 fights. The last fights of the series being that would be a strange departure from how one piece usually works

[@Greg12839]

[@shotymcfat]

If the theory of Shanks twin brother being a knight, he could potentially be someone stronger then Mihawk

[@digupyourbro4024]

Also also think the red hair pirates have potential to be final opponents too. Shanks after wano said “it’s time to claim it, the one piece”

[@davidhenry7946]

Yo, imagine each god knight is indeed yonko level and imu sends them in teams of two or three and myabe one by him/herself with a seraphin partner and a few marines and cp0 agents to do a cleansing of the world. They get scattered to take down bb, luffy, cross guild, the revolutionaries, shanks and any other faction since imu realized this is needed and it is a world wide battle against all factions. They even go to wano and take over, and to fishman island etc. And they are so strong that some of them win against bb or shanks or marco or katakuri for some reason everyone joins the battle. BASICALLY IT IS A WORLD GOVERNMENT VS THE REST BATTLE OVER AND ACROSS THE WORLD AND EACH VICTORY AND LOSS INFLUENCES THE OTHER BATTLES. THE MARINES SPLIT WITH HALF TEAMING UP WITH THE WG AND THE SWORD, SMOKER, FUJITORRA SQUAD HELPING TH EOTHER SIDE. CLEARLY IT MAY NOT BE AWG VS THE REST BATTTLE SINCE THE REST MIGHT EVEN FIGHT AMONGST THEMSELVES, FOR EXAMPLE LETS SAY BB AND SHANKS ARE BRAWLING AND TWO KNIGHTS INTERVENE WITH A SQUADD AND THOSE TWO WITH THEIR PIRATES ARE IN A THREE WAY BATTLE AND IT GETS MESSY. WE ARE ROOTING FOR SHANKS BUT IF SHANKS LOSES WHO WOULD WE RATHER SEE WIN, BB OR THE KNIGHTS?

[@PharaohofAtlantis]

I agree. I think it will be Straw Hats + BB vs the Government (because Imu claims the One Piece and/or Uranus?) then after they face off for possession. I have a hard time thinking of the ending conflict being anything than "now that the government is destroyed/being formed, will the world be in darkness or light". However this does remind me of how Naruto ended so I've always had something nagging me that it can't be the case... Probably just still disappointed in that one.
