The way that Blackbeard/Akainu are currently being set up is pretty much as if they will be surpassed by the newer generation, and then with the newer generation there will be EOS battles among the new generation.
So Coby/Smoker/Helmeppo/Tashigi will be the new top tiers for the marines
Law/Kidd/Luffy/Hawkins pretty much most of the "main" supernova who are independent and currently rising to take down Yonko, will be the top breed of pirates.
And from a story standpoint it'd make much more sense for the final clashes to be between the characters that have been developing as "rivals" throughout the series and gaining power similar to our main character's progress. Similar to Ichigo vs Ishida will be from bleach. OR how Naruto vs Sasuke was in Naruto.
Blackbeard/Akainu in my opinion are nothing more than Obito/Madara/Orochimaru of this series. Aka the antagonists that will lead up to the final bosses. Since one piece has multiple antagonist from different factions, meaning there will be multiple main villains, handled by multiple main "guys" at the end of series.
So yea I think these 2 will be done with before we reach the EOS arc/phase.
