Summary

  • Blackbeard could become the ultimate villain in One Piece due to his immense power and potential strength.
  • Blackbeard’s acquisition of powerful Devil Fruits sets him up to be a formidable foe against Luffy.
  • Fans speculate Blackbeard may steal Imu’s Devil Fruit, becoming the final antagonist facing Luffy in the series.

Given the vast scope of the One Piece narrative and the numerous characters introduced throughout its runtime, there are many speculations about who will emerge as the final villain in the series. At present, it appears that Imu is poised to be the ultimate antagonist, a theory strengthened by their thematic significance as the ancient ruler who has controlled the world for centuries.

A significant number of fans are starting to speculate that Imu might not be the last antagonist in “One Piece,” with Blackbeard being suggested instead. While Blackbeard has been a villain for quite some time, he currently appears to lack the strength to become the ultimate villain. However, there’s a possibility where he could acquire immense power, making him stronger than Joyboy and Nika.

How Blackbeard May Just Be The Last And Strongest Villain

The Mysterious Power Of This Character

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 223, “I Promise Never to Fight in This Town”
Story Arc Jaya

Blackbeard’s influence and significance within the overall narrative of One Piece have been hinted at since his debut. Consequently, he played a crucial role in several key events throughout the modern era, including some that shaped history as we know it. Notably, his capture and subsequent handover of Ace to the World Government set off the Marineford War, a conflict whose origins can be traced back to this pivotal moment.

At the end of this war, it was revealed that while Blackbeard appeared to be an ally with the World Government, his ultimate goal had been hidden: exploiting the chaos of the conflict to catch Whitebeard off guard and seize his Devil Fruit. His abilities came to light as he successfully stole the Gura Gura no Mi and devastated what remained of Marineford even though he was a new user of the fruit. This suggests that Blackbeard’s power could make him the most dangerous adversary for Luffy and potentially the entire world by the end of One Piece.

Fate has chosen me to conquer this world!

Blackbeard was banished from the Whitebeard Pirates due to his actions of murdering Thatch, the Fourth Division Commander, in order to seize control over the Yami Yami no Mi, a unique Devil Fruit he carried. This particular Devil Fruit is one of the most potent Logia-type in One Piece as it doesn’t grant intangibility like others do, but instead possesses gravitational abilities that draw objects towards its user. Its main power lies in nullifying other Devil Fruit abilities simply by touching them, a feature that currently makes it the only known counter to Luffy’s Gum-Gum Fruit.

Apart from his already formidable prowess, Blackbeard not only seized the mightiest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit from Whitebeard’s person, but this fruit grants him the ability to induce cataclysmic tremors on any surface. This power is potent in itself, yet numerous spectators predict that Blackbeard will receive another power boost prior to his anticipated confrontation with Luffy. Such an enhancement might render him even more powerful than either Joyboy or Nika.

It’s been noticed among fans that his first Devil Fruit power was the strongest in the Logia class, and his second was the strongest in the Paramecia class. Given this pattern, it’s widely speculated that his upcoming third Devil Fruit will be a Mythical Zoan, as these are usually the most powerful Zoan fruits. The specific fruit he might consume is a hot topic of discussion, with some predicting he’ll acquire Loki’s enigmatic Nika fruit at some point, which could potentially make him a formidable opponent for Luffy by the story’s end.

Discussions about Loki’s Devil Fruit are filled with intrigue because it’s said to be incredibly powerful, and no one on Elbaf could subdue him. Given that this is believed to be another Nika fruit, fans hypothesize that it might be the Mythical Zoan type, transforming Loki into a destructive embodiment of the Sun God, as we learned from the Elbaf arc that such a deity once existed.

The True Identity Of Blackbeard’s Final Devil Fruit

The Power of the Devil’s Fruit

  • Blackbeard may swoop in at the last moment to steal Imu’s own Devil Fruit.

Following the hint at Imu’s powers in Chapter 1150 of the manga, fans believe they’ve uncovered the identity of the most powerful Mythical Zoan type yet, one that seems to transform Imu into a demonic figure. This theory connects neatly with the concept of the ‘Devil’s Fruit’, which could potentially be the first and strongest of these enigmatic fruits ever created. Given that Imu is rumored to be the strongest ruler in history, this power fits perfectly as Blackbeard’s ultimate Devil Fruit acquisition.

There’s much discussion among fans about who will turn out to be the main antagonist in the series One Piece, with opinions divided between characters Imu and Blackbeard. Those siding with Blackbeard argue that after Luffy and his team defeat Imu, Blackbeard will suddenly appear on the scene, similar to how he did at Marineford. Once there, he’ll capitalize on a weakened Imu to seize their Devil Fruits, amassing the most powerful fruits of each category. As such, Blackbeard would become the ultimate villain for our heroes to face in their final challenge.
