It's no surprise to learn that the Marineford arc of One Piece was a huge highlight for the story. The arc was always going to be huge because it marked the conclusion of the first part of the story and was essentially the climax of Luffy's journey before becoming an adult. Marineford was filled with intensity and palpable tension as his own brother, Ace, was set for execution at Naval Headquarters, and these monstrously powerful Marines were fighting against the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as Luffy and a band of misfits from Impel Down.
Even in the Naval Headquarters, there are only three people holding the rank of admiral. Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru. The only one above them is Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the naval commander. The world government calls these three the “Ultimate Military Force” and he is one of them! – Nico Robin Admiral Aokiji, Seeing One Piece Chapter 319

Sales of one piece exploded after this arcAnd it has not already hit the heights. However, the events of the Elbaf arc may change later, because A new Marineford Ark is finally set to launch, And fans can't wait for it.
After Elbaf, a new Marineford arc may begin

Oda has again set up a pirate-naval clash
Many fans may be confused as to how a new Marineford arc might begin after the conclusion of Albaaf, but to see how this will happen, fans need only look at the other major players in the One Piece world besides the Straw Hat Pirates.
As far as the Straw Hat Pirates are concerned, it's pretty clear that their goal right now is to get the final road poneglyph and then find their way to the final island, that's a laugh story. Other events happening in the world are more important right now, and easily the most exciting ones concern Blackbird.
From now on, it will be a piece! I will draw out all the remaining secrets in this world that I have hidden so far. It's going to be really interesting. Please fasten your seat belt. Thank you very much, I hope you will support me for some time. – Eiichiro Oda, One piece
recently, Blackbeard grabbed Coby, the captain of the Marines. When he did so, Blackbeard offered a deal with the World Government. He will propose to the government Cabal to officially recognize the pirate islands as a country. In essence, Blackbeard wanted to make a big deal out of the government and allow the pirates to run circles around them. This was never going to happen, and Kuzan pointed out the obvious.
One Piece: Oda sets up the execution of Monkey D. Garp
Garp may die in the final saga of One Piece. Oda has arranged his execution.
However, Blackbeard still wanted to go ahead with this plan because he knew that if he made this whole ordeal public, the Navy would be discredited either way. Much to his luck, After defeating Coby, Blackbeard receives an even greater reward, and that is Garp the Hero. While Coby was a hero as well, Garp is an even bigger hero that the Marines simply cannot ignore.
Blackbeard's plan is quite simple. He wants to enter into negotiations with the world government, but he wants to do it publicly. In other words, the talk will be broadcast all over the world, and Blackbeard will ask them to give them country status for the pirate island in exchange for Garp. The Navy will be in a very difficult position because if they admit it, the whole world will see them as bowing to the will of pirates, and their reputation will be shattered.
On the other hand, if they don't accept it, the Navy will abandon its number one hero. The only way around this for the navy is to attack Blackbeard the pirate head-on, and for that Garp's capture led to a war between the two factions. This is why the new Marineford arc is coming, and it all stems from Blackbeard and his friendly personality.
Big players will soon play a major role
-
The biggest battle royale in one piece will start soon
Once negotiations between the Navy and the Blackbeard Pirates break down, the result can only be war between the two factions. This time, it is possible that the navy will attack the pirate island, and the situation will be exactly the opposite of the one-piece Marineford Ark. As such, the big players in the One Piece world will make a move here, because they will all have a stake in it.
For example, Luffy cannot allow his grandfather to die, and so he will probably take steps to save him. Likewise, fans can see the dragon getting involved in some aspect because, at the end of the day, when he was captured by the Marines following the events of God Valley, it was Garp who freed him. at the same time, Shanks can't be ignored here because he has a big stake in whatever Blackbeard doesAnd wants to stop him at all costs.
As such, the upcoming arc of One Piece is going to be incredibly chaotic, and some big players are going to be directly involved. For the first time since the Paramount War of One Piece, fans will once again witness an all-out fight, and it will surely be a sight worth witnessing.
