The arc after Wano? Who will be the next antagonist? Akainu or Black Beard? It is said that One Piece is over 60% complete, the source was the official One Piece twitter page. Some may find this exciting, while others worry about what they would do next after the pinnacle of anime has fallen. In any case, the series is currently at one of, if not the most significant arc thus far, Wano Kuni, which is said to have a war that will be greater than Marine ford arc. Well so far, that is shaping up to be true, cause now we have two yonkous as antagonists. we already know the destruction that one yonkou is capable of, but when 2 fight together, that spells "invincible" to many. But unfortunately for them, they're going up against Strawhat Luffy, whom they both defeated at least once in the series. Luffy is not that dumb to fight an opponent with the same tactic knowing that it didn't work the first time. So that's something to look out for! But the big question is, after Wano, What comes next? Who comes next? Well, it's a no brainer that many are saying its Akainu, while others are saying its Black beard. So with those differences in views, I'd like to take the opportunity to share my thoughts on who the next villain will be. Before we can arrive at a conclusion, we must first look at where the anime is currently at, and which of the antagonist have been getting more highlights and/or foreshadow. Why is that important? Because One piece is such a vast anime and it has a lot going on in each arc, the writer tends to use the current arc to build the next arc. Could you imagine all the details pertaining to a specific arc all being pack within that arc itself? Of course, that would be bad writing, cause then it would seem as if the writer(s) is just making things up as he (they) goes along. That can be good in some ways, but mostly bad, cause then to the viewers, the anime would be just a 'boat with no sails, drifting anywhere the wind takes it with no predetermined destination', and then comes the ultimate downfall, viewers starting to lose interest. when you think about it, starting from Punk Hazard arc, there we're two arcs mainly being foreshadowed (speaking of the main villain, country. etc), those were Doflamingo in Dressrosa and Kaido in Wano. We got a few details about Doflamingo (and Dressrosa) throughout the Punk hazard arc and a bit less of Kaido (Wano). But as time progresses and we are at Dressrosa, we got more about Kaido (& Wano) and an introduction to Zou, and so on. Whole cake island was being introduced from Fish man Island so you get the point. Following that trend, we're now at Wano Kuni, and we've seen both Blackbeard & Akainu (Marine ford) being foreshadowed in many ways. But the question is, who/what/where got the most highlights? If you said Akainu, then you are right. Blackbeard only had 2 scenes after whole cake Island, while Akainu/Marine ford had plenty. Some of the most significant ones are, but not limited to: X-Drake being a marine spy Reverie meeting which calls for the abolition of the Shichibukai system Sengoku talking about Rocs pirates and hinting that an alliance between Kaido and Big mom could be the biggest danger in Marine ford history since the start of the pirate era (after Gol Roger's execution) Sengoku again, suggesting to Akainu that he should send marines to Wano.
