The One Piece series tells the story of Luffy's journey to become Pirate King. Luffy is getting stronger and has defeated many famous characters, so fans who follow Straw Hat's every step are constantly speculating who is the final boss of One Piece . Let's join Hobiverse in reviewing the list of the 4 strongest characters, capable of becoming the final boss after hindering Luffy.
Blackbeard is recognized by many fans as the final boss of One Piece
Many fans speculate that Blackbeard is the final boss of One Piece because he is the only person to possess two devil fruits without any rejection reactions. The first is the Yami Yami no Mi, which neutralizes the effects of other devil fruits and at the same time manipulates darkness. His second Devil Fruit is the Gura Gura no Mi, which helps Blackbeard create earthquakes anywhere. The second Devil Fruit took his power to a new level, said to be able to destroy the whole world.
Kaidou possesses 2 devil fruits but no rejection reaction occurs
Blackbeard's fear lies not only in his own strength, but also in the huge fleet of extremely dangerous ingredients he collected when breaking into Impel Down. The team members are all extremely dangerous criminals locked up on the last floor of Impel Down: Shiryu, Avalo Pizzaro, Catarina Devo...
However, in the latest manga part, Blackbeard became defeated by Luffy, and the history of the Four Emperors was once again rewritten. So obviously we can eliminate Blackbeard from the list of One Piece final bosses .
Rocks D. Xebec
The Rocks Pirates are a force that emerges strongly in the later parts of the One Piece manga. However, this Pirates dominated the sea before the era of Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Rocks is a pirate crew so powerful that even former Admiral Sengoku had to be cautious every time he mentioned it.
The Rocks gang has great ambitions to become world domination as quickly as possible. Because of that, they frantically destroy everywhere they go, even targeting the world government and the heavenly dragon people. Rocks' power is so terrible that the Navy and Pirates have to cooperate to suppress it. Captain of the Rocks D. Xebec is a monster, possessing a source of power considered invincible.

Rocks D. Xebec is presumed dead after the events in God Valley. His death is still an unsolved mystery, author Oda mentioned this name many times in his chapters. So it is possible that this powerful Pirate is not dead and will become the biggest obstacle on Luffy's path to conquering One Piece.
Rocks D. Xebec's death remains a mystery
Red-Haired Shanks
In recent details, Oda has caused many fans to believe that Red-Haired Shanks is the final boss of One Piece . Despite losing an arm and not possessing any devil fruit at all, Shanks still sits firmly in the position of one of the Four Emperors, which is enough to prove that Shanks' abilities cannot be underestimated.

In addition, his power is Haki and the ability to use swords was passed down by the previous Pirate King D.Roger. These details make fans believe that author Oda is trying to create a clone of Roger to fight Luffy. When Luffy defeated Shanks, it was similar to defeating the Pirate King.
Red-Haired Shanks' powers and abilities are similar to the former Pirate King
You also need to pay attention to details, as one of the Four Emperors, Shanks is connected to the World Government. The fact that Pirates associate with the Navy is one of the taboos in One Piece, especially a prestigious character like Shanks. The only exception so far is when the former Pirate King cooperate with Garp to stop Rocks because of his terrible power.
Most likely, Shanks saving Luffy ten years ago and his recognition of Luffy by giving him the straw hat were just a perfect cover of lies. Let's look forward to the next details of the manga to see if author Oda will continue to spin the car and spin fans around or not.
Maybe saving Luffy and recognizing the boy is just a perfect cover of lies for the final boss of One Piece
Imu (Im-sama)
The World Government is a powerful force, holding the balance between forces. The head of this government is the Five Elder Stars, but above them there is another character: Imu (Im-sama). Imu is extremely mysterious, there is still no information to identify gender or appearance. personality... Moreover, no one knows what Imu's true power is, whether he has eaten any devil fruit because he only appears very briefly in the form of a black shadow.
People only know Imu as a dark shadow
However, we can still confirm that Imu is an extremely dangerous character, able to make the Five Elder Stars volunteer to declare themselves gods. Perhaps Im-sama also possesses some kind of ultimate ability/weapon, allowing him to destroy the Lulusia Kingdom almost instantly. The most notable episode is that Im-sama can sit on the throne that the 19 monarchs who founded the World Government never sat on.
Extremely mysterious identity and high status, and also standing in an opposing position to the Straw Hats right from the start. This character is very likely to be the final boss of One Piece . Furthermore, there are many cases where Luffy has been made difficult by the World Government, and is convinced that traces of this Im-sama cannot be missing.
