With the final stretch of arcs coming up, the most powerfulOne Piececharacters will be more involved in the story. The Blackbeard Pirates are one of the few remaining crews that arestill in the race for the One Piece. They consist of dangerous individuals who want to win at all costs. The Blackbeard Pirates want to conquer the world, and to do so they need to beat some of the strongest people inOne Piece.
5SWORD
Bounty: At Least 500,000,000 Berries
In the Egghead arc, some SWORD members, led by Monkey D. Garp, traveled to Hachinosu to rescue Koby. The fight was intense, but the SWORD members were able to save Koby. However, they ended up losing Garp, who was frozen by Kuzan. Considering the people involved with SWORD, it is unlikely that they will leave Garp to die. They will strike at the right time and attempt to rescue the Hero of the Marines. This will inevitably lead to a showdown between the sides.
4Cross Guild
Bounty: At least 8,848,000,000 Berries
The Cross Guild came into existence due to the combined efforts of Crocodile and Mihawk. The two Shichibukai wanted to form an alliance that would deter the Marines from pursuing them. However, the leadership switched hands when Buggy’s underlings started circulating posters that represented Crocodile and Mihawk as his underlings. They were not happy with the development but decided to go along with it and keep themselves safe.
Little did they know the surprises didn’t stop there. Despite being a weakling, Buggy told his minions that he wanted to claim the One Piece. They were more than happy to follow their captain’s orders and begin their search. The odds of Blackbeard encounteringthe Cross Guild are low, but not zero. So, fans might get to see the two sides duel it out for the One Piece.
3Straw Hat Pirates
Bounty: 8,816,001,000 Berries
Captained by Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates are one of the most sought-after groups inOne Piece. They have achieved a great deal of success in next to no time. The crew has taken down multiple Shichibukai and, more recently, a Yonko. The Straw Hat Pirates have gathered three Road Poneglyphs, and they have Nico Robin, who can read them.
If they find the fourth and final Road Poneglyph,the Straw Hats will beable to head to Laugh Tale. However, the Blackbeard Pirates are already on their tails. The two crews desire the same thing, and their captains loathe each other. So, a showdown between them is on the cards. It is only a matter of time before the battle takes place. Since the winner of this fight will most likely claim the One Piece, the Blackbeard Pirates will possibly fight the Straw Hats in the last arc of the series.
2Red Hair Pirates
Bounty: At Least 4,142,900,000 Berries
The Red Hair Pirates are the only surviving pirate crew from the original Yonko. The others have lost their status or dissolved completely. One of the things that separates Shanks and his crew from the rest is that they do not go out of their way to cause destruction. So far, they have been attacked by others, but they have never been the aggressors.The Red Hair Pirates havethe best overall balance among any Yonko crew. All the members are strong, making the crew almost unbeatable.
The Red Hair Pirates came face-to-face with the Blackbeard Pirates in Marineford. They had a staredown, but a fight never materialized as Blackbeard asked his crew to pull out. Shanks and Blackbeard are fierce enemies, and they have fought in the past. The latter was responsible for scarring Shanks, and since then the red-haired pirate has been on his toes. Many pieces of evidence suggest the two Yonko will face each other down the line. After their respective victories over Kid and Law, the Yonko will have three Road Poneglyphs each, which raises the stakes even further. Both Blackbeard and Shanks will try to find the final Road Poneglyph before the other does, and it will eventually lead to a fight between them.
1World Government
Bounty: None
The World Government is the biggest and arguably the strongest organization in the world. It has ruled for centuries with an iron fist. The World Government is headed by Imu, who belongs to the Nerona Family. Imu passes their orders directly to the Five Elders, who make sure to carry them out without fail. In the past, Imu was seen talking about Blackbeard’s threat, but they did not take any action against the pirate.
However, things are different now. Blackbeard’s influence continues to grow, and if it is not curbed, it could become a problem for Imu. So, the leader of the World Government will have to come up with a plan to stop the Yonko’s progress.
