With the Final War of One Piece being closer than ever, the main forces going into this conflict are now clearer than ever. With many different pirate organizations vying to find the One Piece treasure for their own gains and the allies of the World Government seeking it to keep controlling the world, every major character from the series' past is set to play a huge role here.
As such, most of these characters have very firm alliances going into this ultimate conflict in order to see the end to their own goals. However, there are some One Piece characters who most fans are convinced will change sides one way or another, so let's take a look at who they may be and why.
One of the most popular and beloved fan theories came true early on in the Elbaf arc, when it was confirmed that Shanks originally belonged to the Figarland family of Celestial Dragons and that he had an evil twin. This twin was eventually revealed to be Shamrock, who was now the Supreme Commander of the Gods' Knights.
However, many made note of the fact that Shamrock was fairly composed, calm, and different compared to most other Celestial Dragons, prompting a new fan theory which states that he may actually be a good guy. Seeing Shanks and his journey in the world may have had an influence on Shamrock, perhaps even enough to make him change sides in the end.
Charlotte Katakuri is Big Mom's most powerful child and one of the few users of Conqueror's Haki in the entire world. Although he was always Big Mom's strongest enforcer, his true loyalty was to his family, and even at the end of his fight against Luffy, he showed displeasure at his mother's rule, and only bowed out of the fight after Luffy promised to defeat her one day.
Because of this, almost every fan was ensured that Katakuri would eventually make his return in the Final War as one of Luffy's most powerful allies. At the current moment, Big Mom is still missing, and Totto Land remains without a leader, so it's quite likely that Katakuri will take control of these forces and join the Final War alongside Luffy.
Introduced quite early on in the series, Smoker has often been portrayed as Luffy's main rival within the Marines, despite the fact that Luffy's growth in strength has left him in the dust. Although he has always been chasing Straw Hat on the seas in the hope of eventually capturing him, his actions during the Alabasta and Marineford arcs have always portrayed him as being very sensible.
Although he does loathe pirates, he realizes that the world isn't black and white, and that the World Government is just as capable of committing evil as some pirates are at doing good. Although Smoker is still a part of the Marines, most believe that this same philosophy will eventually make him change sides in the Final War.
