by

This article contains slight spoilers for the Final Saga of One Piece

Summary

  • Emperors in One Piece are not immune to defeat, leading to new characters like Luffy and Buggy taking their positions.
  • Shanks and Blackbeard may be defeated before the series concludes, opening up spots for new Emperors.
  • Katakuri and Law are strong candidates to become future Emperors, but the Emperor system may not exist by the end of One Piece.

In the world of One Piece, there’s a rich array of powerful characters, yet none are invincible. The story often demonstrates this by having even top-tier characters like Warlords, Admirals, and Emperors succumb to defeat or meet their end. This paves the way for new members to take up these roles, offering a fresh perspective. While it’s sad when beloved characters fall, the arrival of a new face is always intriguing.

Lately, following Big Mom and Kaido’s defeat, fans of “One Piece” were granted a chance to encounter the two latest Sea Emperors, Luffy and Buggy. The thrilling debut of these new Emperors has sparked intrigue among viewers about who else might ascend to the Emperor ranks in the future of “One Piece”. Moreover, as many speculate that some of the current Emperors’ tenure could be finite within the series, it’s not impossible to imagine a shifting lineup.

The Emperors May Lose Two Members Before One Piece’s Conclusion

Shanks And Blackbeard Are Likely To Be Defeated Before One Piece Ends

In the world of “One Piece”, the Emperor of the Sea system refers to the categorization of the four most powerful and infamous pirates globally. At present, these pirates are Shanks, Blackbeard, Buggy, and Luffy, who pose a significant threat to the World Government of “One Piece”. It appears that they have dominion over substantial territories in the New World, effectively shaping the geography of the latter half of the Grand Line.

This is who they’re calling, the four Emperors now!

It’s widely anticipated by fans that two captains in One Piece might not survive the story’s end. Firstly, Blackbeard, a significant antagonist, is thought to meet his match with Luffy, leading many to believe he will be defeated. Secondly, given Shanks’ role as a mentor to Luffy and his somewhat enigmatic nature, fans speculate that Shanks might not make it to the final chapter of One Piece, especially considering the recent revelation about Shanks’ appearance on Elbaf. This could potentially create vacancies for two new Emperors in the world of One Piece.

Katakuri And Law Would Make Excellent Emperors

Each Hold The Ambition And Power To Change The World

– First and foremost, a strong contender for the next Emperor in “One Piece” could be the First Commander of the Big Mom Pirates, Katakuri. If Big Mom were to be defeated, Katakuri would presumably take over the pirate group, instantly commanding an immense fleet of pirates. Moreover, the territories of Whole Cake Island and its surrounding areas, which Katakuri might control, are strategic locations that would make a great addition to the territory of an Emperor. Lastly, Katakuri’s ambition often surpasses Big Mom’s, suggesting he could be a formidable candidate for the position of the next Emperor of the Sea.

A standout pirate who could potentially rule as the Sea’s future Emperor is the character Law from the One Piece series, a long-time companion of Luffy. Despite his recent defeat at the hands of Blackbeard, it’s only a matter of time before he reappears in One Piece. Although Law doesn’t possess the territories or fleets that many current Emperors do, the unique power of the Op-Op Fruit gives him the potential to become a significant threat to the World Government, deserving of Emperor status on his own merit.

The Emperor System May Not Exist By The End Of One Piece

If A Pirate Becomes The Pirate King There May Not Be A Need For Emperors

Although these two characters could potentially ascend to become future Emperors in the world of One Piece, the very structure of this system might cease to exist by the end of the series. This is reminiscent of the Warlord system within One Piece, where once a Warlord is officially recognized as the Pirate King, the need for additional Warlords may no longer be relevant. On the other hand, if the World Government disintegrates, it’s likely that many of the systems they established would also disappear.

The one who is the most free is the Pirate King! – Luffy

In summary, characters like Katakuri and Law could prove to be strong contenders for future Emperors in the world of One Piece. However, by the conclusion of the series, the Emperor system might undergo significant changes or even cease to exist as we currently understand it. It’s possible that the Grand Line may adopt a completely new power structure centered around the desires of the Pirate King at the end of One Piece.
