One Pieceiscurrently in Elbafwhen it comes to the manga, and it seems this arc will continue for a long time, at least for the next year or two. However, after Elbaf concludes, an even bigger arc might start. Following the Elbaf arc, fans might see a war even bigger than Marineford, and it will involve Blackbeard.
The Summit War is the Biggest War Seen in One Piece so Far
Marineford is one of the most widely praised arcsin the entirety of theOne Pieceseries. Marineford is a part of the Summit War Saga, which concluded the first part of theOne Pieceseries.
The Marineford arc is beloved by many, despite missing the entire Straw Hat Pirate crew,apart from Luffy. Despite the Straw Hats not being present, Oda showcased some incredible characters during this arc nonetheless, the most prominent being Whitebeard, with his powerful fruit the Gura Gura no Mi. This was the first time in the series that the fans had a look at the true power of a Yonko, and it certainly didn’t let anyone down.
The war between a Yonko crew and the Marines was definitely one to be remembered, but as great as it was, it will not be the biggest war of the series. Wano was also a big war, but it can’t be compared to Marineford as far as the warring aspect is concerned.
That said, there will be at least two bigger wars, and one of them will be happening very soon.
The Next War Will Be The Biggest In One Piece Yet
The War on Pirate Island Is About To Begin
One character fans have been dying to see in action is Blackbeard. Blackbeard was properly introduced back in the Jaya arc and has made some moves in the series since, rising to the rank of an Emperor, just like Luffy.
While Blackbeard has continued to cause issues across the New World, his biggest move saw him capturea major member of the Marines, Garp the Hero, and this is a huge deal. Garp is, after all, the grandfather of Luffy, and despite their differences, Luffy will certainly save him if it comes down to it. More than that, Garp is a symbol for the World Government and the Navy that they simply cannot ignore.
Blackbeard will try to negotiate with the Marines for Garp’s release, but this is doomed to go sour since there is no way the Government will recognize Blackbeard and give him his own country. As such, fans should expect Blackbeard to try and set up an execution for Garp.
This will cause a huge war, one in which many will be involved,along with the Straw Hat Pirates. Some of the Marines, like SWORD and Sengoku, will likely join, as well as the Big Mom Pirates, due to the capture of Pudding, and possibly even the Kuja. Blackbeard could even join the Cross Guild, since their goal is to take out the Navy, which will definitely take this war to a whole new level.
