We can safely assure that finding one piece is not the end of the series as there will be a big war going on afterwards. It is more likely that Luffy will fight Shanks as a test to see if Luffy is indeed worthy, Shanks will have the territory that is closer to Raftel. After that the strawhat pirates will fight the Blackbeard pirates maybe on an island or the sea somewhere before arriving to Raftel. .
