Chapter 1085 hyped the World Government.
And I’m starting to think that Oda is portraying the World Government as the true Endgame, and i will explain.
I think Oda made Chapter 1085 also in order to prepare a hype for Saturn in Egghead. Perhaps that’s why Saturn is going to Egghead, Oda is already starting to build up the Gorosei hype. Maybe we really will have Luffy vs Saturn
The Revolutionary Army
World Government being endgame would be a good opportunity for Dragon to finally reveal his powers and motivations. In addition it would also be the opportunity to see the Revolutionaries being explored more and also Sabo surpassing Dragon, maybe beating one of the Goresei or Holy Knights(better than Sabo vs Akainu).
The Holy Knights
The Holy Knights were introduced recently and they are almost certainly formidable fighters. Some theorize that Shanks is one of the Holy Knights.
Honestly, Shanks (and maybe his entire crew) being one of the Holy Knights would be awesome, as it would be a way to make Luffy vs Shanks and Straw Hats Pirates vs Red Haired Pirates happen…… and also because I like the idea of Shanks being much better a villain than just being Luffy’s Jiraiya.
But regardless of who they are, for sure the Holy Knights will be strong and could be possible matchups for Straw Hats.
The Gorosei
They has been confirmed as DF users, they’re probably Mythical Zoans. Well, It’s okay but I’m surprised that Gandhi Gorosei is also a DF User.
About the Matchups I think it will be:
• Luffy or Dragon vs Imu
• Zoro vs Gandhi Gorosei(it’s kinda obviously)
• Sanji vs Blonde Gorosei
(Gandhi and Blonde Gorosei seems to be identical to Zoro and Sanji)
•Maybe Sabo joins in the fight.
IMU-SAMA IS THE FINAL VILLAIN
Imu Sama seems more and more to be the final villain, and I’ll explain why: unlike Akainu and Blackbeard, Imu Sama is portrayed as a maximum authority and always being seen from the bottom up symbolizing him as an omnipotent being.
Not only that, but he/she also seems to be much more narratively relevant than the others, because if Luffy beat Akainu it would be like: “Okay, Luffy defeated Fleet Admiral, he avenged his brother”, or if Luffy beat Blackbeard it would be like : “Wow, Luffy beat Blackbeard, he is now the strongest pirate”. In the case of Imu Sama it would be different.
Imu Sama’s defeat would be impactful not only for Luffy or Dragon, but it would also be important for the world of One Piece. secrets would be revealed, the World Government would fall, the Tenryubitos would fall, Ponneglhyps, The Ancient Weapons, etc.
I personally think people underestimate Imu Sama’s potential.
-But what about Admirals, Blackbeard and Shanks?
Well, as for them, there is still a possibility of them being the final Villains of course, but I believe they will be finalized before World Government. Maybe we still have an arc where Navy will be the main villain, then a Blackbeard Pirates vs Straw Hat Pirates arc, and then the final arc would be World Government, maybe Shanks will fit in that arc.
