One Piece: The most important characters in the Final Saga explained Eiichiro Oda\/Toei AnimationNow that One Piece has entered its Final Saga, the most important players in the endgame have entered the spotlight. The plot of One Piece\u2019s Final Saga has been intricately constructed over the course of 27 years. After everything that has come to pass, the Straw Hat Pirates are now on their way to find all four Road Poneglyphs and sail to the legendary island of Laugh Tale. The final stretch of their journey has already begun in the Egghead Arc. Following this, the crew will sail to Elbaf where the many mysteries of the Void Century will be revealed, some of which we already know through Vegapunk\u2019s message. Before the Egghead Arc reached its climax, it gave us a glimpse of the most important characters in the next part of the story. In One Piece Chapter 1121, we see the characters who\u2019ll play the most significant role in the Final Saga. Monkey D. Luffy Luffy\u2019s inclusion in the list is pretty self-explanatory. He\u2019s the protagonist, after all. Just like we\u2019ve seen the new heights of his powers in the Egghead Arc, we\u2019ll see more in the upcoming part of the story. The Elbaf Arc may finally reveal the full extent of his connection to Sun God Nika and Joyboy, with the rest of the story showing him fulfilling his destiny. \u201cRed Hair\u201d Shanks We knew from the get-go that Shanks would play a crucial role in the overall story, even though he appears very little in One Piece. He has a very close relationship with Luffy, being the one to give him his signature straw hat. We later learn his connection to Gol D. Roger and his identity as one of the Yonko. However, his motives are still a mystery. Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard) In the One Piece Final Saga, Luffy will have to face two of his biggest enemies: the World Government and Blackbeard. Initially a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Blackbeard betrayed his old captain, gave Shanks his scars, caused Ace\u2019s execution, and now has become one of the Yonko. He\u2019s going for the titular treasure now. Buggy the Clown When we first met Buggy, we had no idea he\u2019d become such a prominent figure. While not the strongest (or the brightest), he\u2019s somehow become a Yonko and commands the Cross Guild alongside Mihawk and Crocodile. Like most of the other big players, he\u2019s also going after the One Piece in the Final Saga. Imu The most mysterious character in One Piece, Imu is the secret ruler of the world. He sits on the Empty Throne on Mary Geoise and is hidden from everyone but the Gorosei (and those who accidentally found out). The Gorosei does everything he wants, even destroying an entire island. Since Imu is the head of the World Government, he\u2019s the ultimate antagonist of One Piece. Monkey D. Dragon Though Dragon hasn\u2019t done (or appeared) a lot in One Piece, we\u2019ve always known that he\u2019s an important player in the game. As the head of the Revolutionary Army, he\u2019s the World Government\u2019s current biggest enemy. He also holds incredible political and manpower. We can expect him to play a crucial role in the final war once he\u2019s reunited with Luffy. Sakazuki (Akainu) One of the most hated characters in One Piece, Sakazuki is the current Fleet Admiral of the Marines. He\u2019s also the one who killed Ace during the Marineford War (we\u2019re still not over that particular One Piece death). Believing in the motto of \u2018absolute justice\u2019, Sakazuki won\u2019t stay still until he\u2019s eradicated pirates from the world (at least that\u2019s what he thinks). He\u2019ll have to face Luffy in the Final Saga of One Piece. Sabo While Luffy couldn\u2019t save Ace, he fortunately has another brother out there. Sabo is not just Luffy\u2019s brother but also the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army. He also wields Ace\u2019s Mera Mera no Mi. While infiltrating the Reverie, Sabo stumbled upon King Cobra\u2019s assassination and is currently one of the very few people who knows Imu\u2019s existence. Kuzan (Aokiji) Once a Marine Admiral, Kuzan changed sides after losing the position of Fleet Admiral to Sakazuki. Following this, he became a rogue and eventually a commander of the Blackbeard Pirates. In the Egghead Arc, he has a huge clash against his former mentor, Garp. Many believe Kuzan will betray Blackbeard in the Final Saga and aid Luffy and his team. Koby Considered the \u2018future of the Marines\u2019 by Garp, Koby is the first friend Luffy made in One Piece. Even though their paths are opposite, Koby always respects Luffy and his pursuit of his dream. However, following Garp\u2019s defeat in Hachinosu and Vegapunk\u2019s worldwide broadcast, Koby is now determined to stop Luffy from reaching Laugh Tale. Figarland Garling One of the newly introduced characters, Figarland Garling is the Supreme Commander of the God\u2019s Knight. As such, he holds incredible power, both politically and physically. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s also related to Uta, Shanks\u2019 adopted daughter. This, coupled with the fact that he\u2019s also a swordsman, has led fans to believe that he\u2019s related to Shanks. Unknown swordsman This character comes out of nowhere. The last page of Chapter 1121 shows the important figures in the Final Saga of One Piece. While we see everyone else, only one person is left as a silhouette. All we know about this man is that he\u2019s a swordsman and will play a crucial role in the future. We can expect the Final Saga to reveal his identity and connection with the rest of the characters. The Egghead Arc has already passed its climax and is on its way to the Elbaf Arc, the second arc of the Final Saga. So, expect more exciting fights and intriguing reveals to come soon.
