A look into One Piece's supposed final antagonists and why they haven't hit as hard as they should. Blackbeard vs his pirates.
While Blackbeard works perfectly as Luffy's opposite, his crew members have barely made an impact. We'll break down how this lack of development affects characters like Van Augur and Jesus Burgess, compare it to One Piece's usual character building with examples like Doflamingo and Kuma, and question if last-minute development in arcs like Egghead or future ones like Elbaph can give these final battles the weight they deserve. Especially since there are large implications in Elbaph with certain chapters like chapter 1136 and then on having greater implications about Luffy and his Sun God Nika form, meanwhile Blackbeard still needs his potential connections to Loki.
