One Piece is finally entering its final saga after the conclusion of the Wano Country arc and with Oda planning to end the series within the next three years, it is time for the story to focus on the most important of events.
With the major factions of the world fighting for supremacy, some of the biggest clashes are all set to take place and fans have been waiting for some of them in anticipation for quite a while now.
7 Luffy Versus Blackbeard
Luffy has finally grown into a powerful pirate and made his way all the way to the position of a Yonko. In doing so, he has gained the admiration of Shanks with how the recent events unfolded.
Since One Piece is in its endgame now, one of Luffy's main rivals is none other than Blackbeard, who is opposing him for the title of Pirate King. Their fight is something that the fans have been waiting for since ages. With all eyes set on the One Piece, this titanic clash will certainly be something that shifts the balance of the world drastically.
6 Zoro Versus Mihawk
Mihawk has held the title of the World's Strongest Swordsman for quite a long time now. He has been challenged by numerous opponents over the course of time but none has made as big an impression on him as Roronoa Zoro. Zoro, on the other hand, has trained very hard and rigorously to become a capable swordsman, with the aim of surpassing Dracule Mihawk and earning the title of the greatest.
Their fight is certainly something fans have been looking forward to since the early One Piece days. What makes this fight even more important is the promise that Zoro made to his childhood friend, Kuina. To finally claim the title of the best and to live up to the promise he once made, Zoro will end up defeating Dracule Mihawk once and for all.
5 Yasopp Versus Usopp
Usopp is one of the members of the Strawhat Pirates and, although a coward once, he has proven his worth over the years. Usopp is the son of a very famous pirate named Yasopp, who is one of the executives of the Red Hair Pirates. The two haven't seen each other for quite a long time and in the upcoming arc, fans might see Yasopp testing his son to see how far he has come.
If this fight does take place, then the fans will be treated to an incredible battle between two excellent snipers. The fight will also establish their relationship once again, which is certainly something that the fans have been waiting to see.
4 Dragon Versus Imu
The World Government and the Revolutionary Army have been at each other's throats for a very long time – before the series even began. The leaders of each of the factions, Monkey D. Dragon, who is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and Imu, the ruler of the World Government, certainly hold tremendous importance.
Fans know that Dragon is a very powerful individual feared by people all over the world. On other hand, Imu's powers and potential hasn't been seen just yet. In the Final War of One Piece, fans might witness this incredible clash between the two titans of the One Piece world.
3 Sanji Versus Kizaru
Sanji and Kizaru share a lot of similarities between them that make them a perfect match in combat. Being an Admiral, Kizaru is, expectedly, a very powerful individual who has given everyone a run for their money. He prefers to fight using his legs in close-quarters combat, just like Sanji, who also uses his legs as well in combat situations.
Furthermore, Kizaru's fighting style is focused on speed and weight, which is something that Sanji excels at as well. His fight against Queen saw him advance to the next level, however, the time has come for him to take on an Admiral of the Navy. His fight against Kizaru is something that fans want to see.
2 Luffy Versus Akainu
Akainu is easily one of the best villains in the entirety of One Piece, if not the best. Being a hateful character, his actions have taken root deep inside the hearts of both Luffy and the fans alike. Not only did he kill countless innocent people, but he is also responsible for killing a beloved character, Ace, in the most gruesome way possible.
Luffy, who witnessed this in front of his eyes, certainly would want to topple the man who scarred him so badly, both metaphorically and literally. Since Luffy has become extremely powerful now, he's now in a position to challenge Akainu and possibly even defeat him.
1 Shanks Versus Blackbeard
Shanks and Blackbeard are two opposites who have been destined to clash at some point in the future. The reason behind their rivalry has not yet been disclosed, however, their connection to each other runs deep. Fans have been waiting for the two to clash and while Oda did tease it during the Marineford arc, the actual fight was called off by Blackbeard, who felt he wasn't ready at the moment.
At some point, Shanks and Blackbeard will clash against each other and when they do, it might possibly result in the most incredible fight in the series. This fight will most likely happen in the final arc of One Piece and fans couldn't wait very long because the wait for this fight has been very long.
