these are the seven final villains to defeat in one piece starting with Fleet Admiral sakazuki so as an antagonist sakazuki has one of the most impressive CVS of transgressions against our main characters as anyone could in all of media to name two major highlights he was of course directly responsible for killing Luffy's brother port gastas and he was a very active and enthusiastic participant in the genocide of ohhara the home island of straw hat archaeologist Niko Robin in terms of raw power sakazuki may be the single greatest obstacle standing in Luffy's way of becoming the
pirate king he possesses a uniquely nasty loia type devil fruit that allows sakazuki to conjure manipulate and become magma which the author of one piece at chirota has stated has the highest defensive capabilities amongst all devils not just the loia class all devil fruits the world of one piece is so large and varied that there exists a tier of characters who may as well be Gods the kind of people that if you encounter them the only option is to run sakazuki is one of these people which has been proven on multiple occasions but most notably
when even Blackbeard told his entire crew to flee upon discovering that sakazuki was approaching their location and to demonstrate exactly why it is the people choose to run on one occasion Whitebeard an emperor of the sea and another one of these Godlike figures who you have no choice but to run from decided to clash with sakazuki and he got a chunk of his head blown off for his efforts recently sakazuki also blew off a piece of barthol mum's head but that appears to have been Recon but what makes sakazuki in order of magnitude more dangerous
than most antagonists has nothing to do with raw power it's all about how deeply he believes in his philosophy of change for the world sakazuki is the figurehead of the absolute Justice belief with a specific subfocus in Thor justice meaning that he believes evil will never be eradicated from the world unless you destroy it at the root it's gotten so extreme that sakazuki now believes that certain people are born innately evil for example if you're the son of a pirate then you're evil because you inherited the evil Gene from your evil parents which means that
sakazuki takes no issue murdering children who haven't technically committed a crime yet and in fact killing them is the preferred outcome because it's getting rid of evil before it has the chance to commit said crime it's a terrifying mindset made all the more horrific by the fact that he is currently in charge of the world's largest military force as Fleet admiral of the Marines sakazuki is a global tragedy waiting to happen and a prime Contender for one of perhaps even the final villain of one piece and at the very least he isn't someone who's going
down until the very final AR and working directly on S Kazuki is Marine admir ryokugyu known for the sake of ease as greenbull because ryokugyu can be a bit of a tongue twister but greenbull is a fairly late game Admiral who was drafted into the Marines during the 2-year time Skip and I have no idea where they stumbled upon this dude but the W government found themselves Some solid antagonistic gold here he's the wielder of another unique type loia fruit that allows him to conjure manipulate and become forests which is quite troubling because even if
you do manage to destroy his body Greenbow can just grow himself another from any given seed or sapling within this Forest which sounds quite lovely in nature positive and it's quite Twisted really because every time greenball fights he leaves this beautiful forest in his wake but of all of the Marine Admirals I think he's the one I would least want to run into in a dark alley because greenbull is also a follower of the absolute Justice movement which is actually very popular within the Marines right now and while it's often attributed as the philosophy of
Fleet Admiral sakazuki it was actually first mentioned all the way back in chapter 96 by vice admiral John Giant and it seems like it's an older philosophy particularly since there are different denominations of absolute Justice greenbull For example practices a subclass known as determined Justice which if I had to describe it would be an even more trigger happy iteration of absolute Justice in the case of most absolute Justice followers they believe that the end justifies the means they're not necessarily thrilled to carry out the means but they're always seeking that end whereas green Bull's Justice
is more about seeking the means hoping that it maybe somehow will result in an end he actively believes in the pursuit of subjugation and the systematic imbalance of the world catering his activities towards facilitating acts of violence and discrimination with the belief that these acts will lead to Justice in a manner best described as somehow which I think is best epitomized in the Mantra that he reveals on wo discrimination creates Solace a lovely inspirational quote put on your wall in your workplace but greenbull has another quote because that was stated shortly after he yelled you
have no human rights don't blame me for it it's how the world works tldr greenbull is a man without a plan he's trying to emulate absolute Justice without understanding how it actually functions or what it's actually trying to do he has no intellectual curiosity and he's more of a just a zealot operating on blind belief which makes greenbull quite unhinged and significantly more dangerous especially in the position of a marine Admiral because he holds no logical consistency he doesn't understand the outcomes of his actions but he still seeks further actions to do much like sakazuki
the most dangerous thing about greenbull is isn't his raw physicality but it's this belief this strange questionable belief which unfortunately when you boil it down is a belief in the status quo meaning that greenb will fight with everything he has to maintain the power of the world government which means that he's going to be a very difficult challenge to overcome in the future but one of the best things about the one piece world is that it's a living and breathing World which means that once beaten villains don't just up and disappear no they endure and
there's one particular group of villains who have come back right at the climax of the series forming something of a coalition to take one last shot of that sweet sweet pirate king dream and this would be the organization of cross Guild featuring six members who have been defeated directly by Luffy being alvida Moji Richie galdino also know as Mr 3 the former head of Baro Works crocodile and of course the almighty Figure Head of cross Guild and Emperor of the sea buggy the clown it also features two members who have been defeated directly by Zoro
being kabaji and do bones aka Mr one but going in its favor we have one member who is actually beaten zor being the world's great greatest swordsman drau mihawk so a more accurate name for this group would be the United Federation of losers featuring drau mihawk and that last member there is the biggest reason why we're taking cross Guild seriously in a video like this there are very few things guaranteed to happen in one piece but Zoro will eventually need to fight and defeat mihawk to claim the title of world's greatest swordsman meanwhile Luffy will
need to contend with buggy who is now also gunning for the ambition of becoming the pirate king and before we rule out cross guilds is very serious ious candidates in this race let's let's just consider this if you add up the bounties of every wanted pirate in Cross Guild the organization totals 88 Bill 848 million berries which is the highest confirmed crew Bounty of any remaining Emperor faction Straw Hat Pirates Blackbeard Pirates red hair Pirates none of them even come close at the time of this recording anyway that can and probably will change but for
now we are taking cross Guild very very seriously but not as seriously as this next final antagonist a man who has been lurking in the shadows for more than 25 years of publication time figland Garing so we've only very recently been introduced to the existence that is fig and ging and when it comes to introductions in one piece Oda tends to have a very standard method if a character is particularly important then they get a fun little standard text box detailing their name occupation and maybe Bounty if they're a criminal that is but with figland
ging he's particularly special and he got an entire page of exposition in the present day in sacred Mar a single Celestial Dragon had just been executed the man who passed the sentence was a dominating figure who once distinguished himself at a place called God Valley today he is the supreme commander of the Holy Knights his name is Saint figland ging so the holy Knights are one of three private militia who served the world Nobles directly the most basic would be the private Gods entire squads of which are trained and assigned to each individual World Noble
the second would be copol zero who were a private Espionage and assassination group containing some incredibly powerful individuals however even then the holy Knights are on a completely different level and only called upon to deal with the most serious of matters to give you an example of just how serious one of these situations needs to be to call upon them the holy Knights have never been officially mobilized even a single time in all of One Piece to date whether it be the Paramount War the alliance between big mom and kaido or even the recent Egghead
island incident the world government has yet to view deploying the holy Knights as necessary and despite the fact that there are so few of them Monkey D dragon considers them powerful enough to challenge his entire revolutionary army with no clear answer on who would emerge Victorious and standing right at the Apex of this already Apex is figland Garing with ging's role as Supreme Commander suggesting that he has a higher degree of power and authority than even Fleet Admiral sakazuki in fact politically ging has far more Authority than sakazuki because he's entrusted to deal with matters
involving World Nobles whereas all that sakazuki can do is beg before their feet as they demand more and more more Lobster meals that one time but ging is particularly terrifying because he Harbors all of the horrendous beliefs and grotesque entitlements of a world Noble however unlike the vast majority of those useless lumps of meat that are populating marija ging has the power to back it up in fact Garling is significantly more ruthless than your average World Noble from what we've seen thus far he doesn't really enjoy the standard World Noble activity of toying with and
humiliating his victims however a lot of that may actually be because Garling is so scarily efficient and almost clinical in diagnosing the most painful and appropriate method of ending someone's life along with the surgical skills as one of the world's greatest Swordsmen to implement a cruel and unusual death upon anyone unfortunate enough to cross pods with him which was demonstrated when we saw him participate in the god Valley Hunt ging was so efficiently bloodthirsty that he'd already murdered a whole cohort of innocent victims before the hunt even began and for this transgression ging was punished
with a 10,000 Point penalty although once the hunt began ging was able to gather 100,000 points with ease which for the mathematically inclined is a net profit of 90,000 points we should also talk about ging's funky Aesthetics because it's not just a quirky fashion Choice ging's hair and beard combination creates a moon and the first thing to know about One Piece is that sun and moon symbology is everywhere and very very important because we also have another moon-based faction in one piece being the kuki clan who were loyal to Joy boy and likely the ancient
Kingdom the kuki clan were the moon to Joy boy Sun they were his vassals with figland ging and the Holy Knight seeming to represent the moon vassel of the world government which means that ging is both metaphorically and literally standing directly in the way of the dawn of the world prophecy which will likely never come to fruition so long as he remains breathing but even then ging he is a mere mini boss compared to everyone else we have left sitting at the very top of the political hierarchy of the five Elder Stars St J garciaa
Saturn Warrior God of Science and defense St Marcus Mars Warrior god of the environment St top Wy Warrior God of Justice St Ethan Baron vuro Warrior God of finance and St Shepherd jupeter Warrior God of Agriculture each of whom individually hold more influence over the planets than any faction and collectively are charged with maintaining a well calculated strangle hold of power which has lasted for the past nine centuries although we don't know if the five Elders have been the same people that whole time but it's not out of the question methods of achieving immortality and
Perpetual youth do exist in one piece but what's more troubling is that each of the five Elders appears to possess a range of demonic Powers saint sattin for example can transform into a spyer yoka like creature with the ability to freeze people explode their heads and near Limitless regeneration capabilities in the odd circumstance in which he does incur injury so because it's one piece it's highly likely that this is a devil fruit perhaps some sort of fancy mythical Zone but at the time of this recording that has yet to be confirmed he could just flat
out be a demon whatever it is it's not unique to Saturn and each of the five Elders have their own demonic abilities which in combination with their truly fearsome intelligence allow these five people to rule the vast majority of the world and whilst the five Elders are technically World Nobles I do think that demon is a more appropriate classification because their desires and depravity Trump out of even the most sickening of regular World Nobles they're a living breathing incarnation of Hell on Earth that must be eradicated at all costs but that is significantly easier said
than done and even if you do get rid of them what goes on to fill that void may be even was and a prime candidate for said void philage would be emperor of the sea Marshall detach better known as Blackbeard now don't be fooled by his Charming white sort of condom hat that he wore that one time this man is Terror and Anarchy incarnate Blackbeard is the challenge that Oda has been building up throughout all of One Piece he follows a parallel journey to Luffy both rising to prominence at around the same time and now
the two leading candidates to become the next pirate king but the most intimidating thing about Blackbeard is that he represents the unknown almost everything the Blackbeard's done has taken place off screen the level six incident the payback War the rocky Port incident all of these world shaking events that he was responsible for and we know next to nothing about them or him and what little we do see if Blackbeard only raises more questions to add to the rund vat of unknown that he is what we do know is that right now he's the only character
capable of wielding two devil fruits we don't know how or why we also know that he's allegedly never slept in his life again we don't know how or why but most intriguingly of all Marshall D is of course a member of the Declan in fact he's only one of two Declan members we know of who's been described as Flatout evil with the other being the allegedly past Rox dbec whereas every other member of the will of D Works in their own ways to better the world Marshall D and Rox debec seem to have a very
different Twisted vision of the world and Blackbeard has almost certainly inherited the will of rocks in this regard which means that Blackbeard is going to be a very personal opponent for Luffy because this is set to be the conclusion of a millennia long Civil War within the Declan and it makes the final Conflict very complicated because Blackbeard is no Ally of the W government either in fact his Bounty post was found ripped up in the chamber of flowers on marijua alongside Luffy and the entity responsible for this is the figure currently set up to be
the true final boss of One Piece St emu neurona emu is an enigma amongst enigmas if you gathered all of the enigmas in a single room they'd all point to emo and go that that dude's properly mysterious there a concept in one piece known as the empty Throne which is the very foundation of the pul government during the Great War of the Void Century 20 kingdoms came together and pledged their allegiance to an organization that would have no single leader with the empty Throne serving as that symbolism the idea being to uphold the values of
equality no Kingdom no country and most importantly no individual was to be considered more important than another at least not within the world government itself outside of the world government go crazy but all of this was a facade anyway because from its founding 800 years ago to this very day day a single entity has occupied the empty throne and has had so discretion over every well government decision made between then and now to the point where even the five Elders exist as mere middlemen to carry out emu's commands and I'm sure you've all heard this
quote before but I think it's especially appropriate here the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he never existed and that is exactly what emu's done and not only that but emu continues to employ this trick to this very day which was seen most recently when emu destroyed the Lucia Kingdom claiming that never existed after which point all record of L Lucia was erased and even those who do remember the kingdom will never speak out about it in the fear that they will be erased as well St emu Arona is the
single most powerful individual in one piece emu is the secret final boss who appears out of nowhere once you think the game is over and the ultimate Challenge to overcome in the one piece World Meanwhile your ultimate challenge is much easier which is to subscribe to this channel the consistent injections of One Piece culture administered directly into your YouTube feed
