With 2023 being incredibly successful for One Piece, fans are very excited for 2024 to be massive for the series as well. With the Egghead Island arc now in its climax and Elbaf on the horizon, it is already certain that 2024 will be packed to the brim with incredible events in One Piece.

One Piece: The Haki Of Every Admiral, Ranked

The Admirals have powerful Haki, making them some of the top fighters in the world of One Piece.

Of course, that also means that massive fights are going to take place in the upcoming year in the story and there are a few that stand out much more than the rest.

6 Zoro Vs Lucci

Climax of Egghead Island

The Egghead Island arc is currently in its climax and this means major fights are already taking place. The Marines are engaging the Straw Hat Pirates in combat and that, of course, means that Zoro is going to be fighting as well. Currently, Zoro is engaged in combat with Lucci, the CP0 man who fans know to be incredibly powerful.

Zoro has already traded blows with him, however, not much attention was turned to them in 2023. However, in 2024, fans can expect Zoro versus Lucci to be fully fleshed out and finished. Hopefully, Zoro will completely destroy Lucci in combat.

5 Dragon Vs Saint Garling Figarland

The War Between Revolutionaries And WG Begins

Another exciting battle that could be on the horizon and focused on heavily in 2024 is that of Dragon with Saint Garling Figarland. Fans know that Dragon has declared war on the World Government, and it was also made clear that the Holy Knights of the World Government are going to be making a move soon.

This means that the Holy Knights will descend to the blue sea and they will attack the Revolutionary Army. The leader of the Holy Knights is Saint Garling Figarland and he's incredibly powerful. To fight someone like him, the Revolutionary Army would need Dragon to stand in his path and that battle could very well end up happening in 2024.

4 Sanji Vs Kizaru

Climax of Egghead Island

Sanji versus Kizaru is a fight that might or might not happen. However, there is a possibility for Sanji to take on Kizaru in battle based on the current events in Egghead Island. Luffy has already defeated Kizaru once and it is quite clear to see that Kizaru is down for now. However, he is still very much conscious and could, later on, get back up and fight.

These One Piece characters had a lot of potential in the story.

Luffy will be fighting Saturn very soon and that much goes without saying. However, someone would need to take on Kizaru in combat and it certainly cannot be Zoro. This job would then likely pass over to Sanji. While Kizaru is much stronger than Sanji, the fact is that he is currently weakened, thanks to his fight against Luffy. This handicap is enough for Sanji to be able to defeat him and combat and, regardless of what happens, it will be an exciting fight.

3 Luffy Vs Saturn

Climax of Egghead Island

Luffy versus Saturn is another battle that is destined to happen in 2024 in One Piece. Luffy is currently out, however, it is only a matter of time before he gets back up again. As Nika, it is his responsibility to protect Bonney and everyone else in need of help.

Luffy has to get up and fight against Saturn and when that happens, a full-blown battle with one of the Five Elders is inevitable. This fight is likely going to be the climax of this arc and that is something that has fans very excited.

2 Blackbeard Vs Shanks

The Events After Egghead

Blackbeard versus Shanks is a fight that will inevitably happen in One Piece at some point. This is a fight that has been teased for quite a long time and there is a rivalry between these two characters that Oda will explore at some point in the Final Saga.

Furthermore, fans also know for a fact that Shanks himself was chasing Blackbeard recently and he will eventually catch up. If this happens in 2024, then fans will be treated to a major battle between these two Yonko who have a lot of history. It is surely going to be an exciting fight that every fan would love to witness and it will also give both of them the opportunity to showcase their full power.

1 Shanks Vs Luffy

The Fight On Elbaf

Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates will likely head to Elbaf after Egghead Island concludes and this is something that Oda himself has somewhat confirmed. Recently, Oda also mentioned that the Egghead Island arc will conclude in 2024 and that means Luffy will likely head to Elbaf.

The territory of Elbaf is protected by Shanks, and this would mean that Luffy versus Shanks happening in 2024 is actually a very real possibility. This fight is one that fans have been waiting for since the Romance Dawn arc of the story and it will certainly be one that lights up the series in a way that fans have never seen before.
