I am not sure. I am a big old-school Shounen fan, and I have always loved the villian advancement (i.e. Piccolo to Vegeta to Freesia to Androids to Cell to Buu), a steady progression of new more powerful villians. If Blackbeard becomes the final boss, Oda will have done something unique in letting the final boss grow in strength along side the main protagonist. As I said, I would be okay with Blackbeard as a final boss, but he has to firmly prove himself, first. He has to go through a few overpowered life and death struggles (similiar to what Luffy has gone through) before I will agree that he can be a final boss.
