User blog comment:Ruffy1/STRAW HAT PIRATES IN THE BLACK BEARD ERA/@comment-68.147.7.188-20100702214626

I think they will continue their search for one piece of course. But I think that on the route to find it they will encounter more enemies the likes of which they have never seen before. Also the yonkou, the admirals , and the shichibukai / pacifistas are still threats to each other. There could be battles to thin out the majority of them. It would be weird if the straw hats had to face all of them single handedly one after the other.
