Discussion Who will be the last opponent?

[Lord Rayleigh]

There is a difference between the strongest opponent of Luffy and the last opponent of Luffy. It is what bothers me here.

The strongest rival for Luffy's dream should be BB as a lot of people said : I think the last opponent for the Pirate King title will be BB. But it will not be the last opponent of the manga.
The last serious fight will be Pirate King Luffy against Admiral Coby. It will close the manga very well : after all, One Piece began with the revelation of their both dreams and the meeting between the two characters. And the circle is now complete.

his last opponent may be cobby but he wont fight that fight he will be powerfull and free enough just to go on his way and do as he want - and it will be probably be eating not fighting cobby.

on that note i got a disturbing image of a huge fat luffy sitting in a chair surounded with piles of meat kind of like WB today.

 

[sh4dx]

we'll have at least 450-500 more chapters so i don't think that oda will keep bb in the "game" for 10 more years..ace is a good option.imo the last opponent will be when luffy n crew goes to raftel and there they meet shanks&mihawk(we've seen they are "friendly")and we'll have a fight luffy v shanks & zoro v mihawk to prove them that they have become the best, luffy as great pirate(PK) and zoro as world best swordsman.

 

[Akainusan]

I'd have to go with Blackbeard. I guess it is because his crew and himself contain actual historical figures.

 

[Winlyx-chan]

I myself am stuck between BB and Ace. I can see it being BB a little bit more (which is why I voted for him) however if Ace decides to follow his "father's" dream and try for the goal of PK himself (as WB said he wanted for Ace) then the last real battle in one piece might just be between Ace and Luffy. Though several pirates are after One Piece only Luffy and BB so far have actually said they want to be pirate king. Which could lead to the final confrontation between them for the last stretch to OP in the first place

Sure, Blackbeard is probably going to be a major (if not the main) antagonist for quite a long time. But remember, this is a thread to discuss Luffy's last opponent. There is a high chance that Blackbeard may be the last villain Luffy fights in the series, but I feel that he won't be the last person that Luffy fights overall.
My pick would have to go to Shanks, the person who actually gave Luffy the straw hat and started off his journey.

 

[Zeltrax]

Coby ^^
life is a circle, everything starts from the beginning, and ends at the beginning.
The fight will probably be luffy's hometown.
The strawhats will then split, after each achieving their dreams, and goes back to their hometown.
Then, we'll see admiral koby smiling awaiting for his final fight with luffy after he achieved his dream kindda like the relationship between Roger & Garp.

So you're guessing that the WG won't be beaten by the Revolutionary army in the end ?

You're also assuming here that the Revolutionary army doesn't have ranks like "admiral". A little off topic, but "ARMY" is one of the two words which define Revolutionary Army. Armies have ranks. A revolutionary army would not just destroy the WG and leave the dust swirling around whilst hoping the pirates just rape and pillage the rest of the world without consequence. The revolutionaries are more likely aiming for the head of the WG (The Gorousei) than the WG as an institution.

Most likely the RA will take out the Gorousei, and pick up the WG where they left off with some changes.

...that said, I'm still very anti Admiral Coby. If I did a chart which mapped Coby, Luffy and Ussop's growth, Luffy would be about 10x Coby, and Ussop about 2x Coby.

I agree on the Rev army having admiral type characters. Considering Iva is one of the top people and she is stronger then Kuma (she claimed it and I don't remember the page) and Kuma is arguably one of the most powerful shichibukai.

 

[Antares]

I think last opponent for Pirate King's title is Blackbeard. But then again, i want the last fight in the manga to be a complete circle also, somewhat similar to Lord Rayleigh. Except that it's a different kind of circle. Pirate King Strawhat versus Red Hair Shanks.

I doubt it will be Shanks... Take a major pirate like Whitebeard who had a ton of Allies. I think Luffy has been set up to have a ton of allies also such as Shanks, Dragon, Boa, Jimbei, Ace and Crew, Buggy, Crocodile?, and thats just pirates and not countries like Alabasta.

There is definitely a reason why we haven't met people like Vegapunk, or the other 2 yonkou yet. Not to mention the fact that there can easily be a random pirate coming out of the woodwork in the next 10 or so years this manga has intill completion.

My educated guess at this point would be that one of the two unseen Yonkou are a stepping stone for Luffys battle with Blackbeard.

 

[senewe]

No last opponent, No final arc...

Naruto is kinda boring. (kishi should change the title from NARUTO to SASUKE)
Bleach is going nowhere (what the hell with that goddamn aizen. he is 1000 stronger then whole character)
Even Fairy tail and Reborn make me tired sometimes (well, they are in the peak currently)

BUT ONE PIECE...

i mean,, do you guys want to see last chapter of this? as for me, I DO NOT

 

[beastboy]

^
Of corse there has to be a final oponent, the end is the cherry on the top of the cake, with out it, no serie is trully amazing! xD

 

[chess4]

in the end, it will be the strawhats vs the Blackbeards. luffy vs BB will be legndary.

It would mean that the Revolutionary army or new "WG" would hunt the son of his own leader who also fougth (despite him) the WG ?
Everything can happen but it's quite strange at first.

 

[Franckie]

Final opponent? I imagine Coby. Coby's dream is to become an Admiral. This fact coupled with Oda's writing means that we will see Coby become an Admiral one day. Coby has a long way to go through before he becomes a top-tier fighter, as in several years of intense training + Haki and/or a DF.

 

[DEATHBOTT]

my guess would be blackbeard or ace. i wonder if zoros will be mihawk or if he will beat him earlier in the series. i think luffy should fight a fellow competitor for the title of pirate king as his last big epic fight but i can easily see luffy fighting admiral coby or smoker in an epilougue or something. they should both be added to the list.

 

[Bugzee]

I have a strong feeling BB might be the last opponent...for obvious reasons. I don't think it will be Ace. I believe Ace will be a huge support/aid for Luffy in the future.

Out of all the Warlords...Doflamingo is the most mysterious/creepy..so I say his a strong candidate lol. If it's not Doflamingo or BB....well I'll go for one of the two unknown Yonkous!

 

[Foxdie]

I choose other, cause I think that Luffy will beat BB and become the the Pirate King..

Then ..

Admiral Kubi will capture him and arrest him, it's like Luffy will turn himself to Kubi because he already achieved his dream, just like the situation that happened 22 years ago between Garp and Roger.

Of course all the world will try to save him especially his crew, Shanks, Dragon and all the groups who were been saved by Luffy before.
