As it stands, the two ultimate villains of the series are Marshall D. 'Blackbeard' Teach and Fleet Admiral 'Akainu' Sakazuki.
They're the strongest and as such biggest opposition from their respective antagonistic groups which the crew has been facing since day one - other pirate crews and the Marines (and by extension the WG).
Both have massive roles in the series. Blackbeard captured Ace, killed Whitebeard, is the only character to have 2 DFs, foreshadowing heavily implies he'll kill Shanks, and has been build up since the early stages of the story. Akainu killed Ace, scarred Luffy (mentally and physically), is responsible for Aokiji leaving the Marines, instigated a world draft (more than likely), and could have connections to Dragon. Countless debate has spawned over which of the two will ultimately stand above the other as the Final Villain. But, why can't it be both?
It's been confirmed the series will end with a Final War Arc, where Luffy's allies will gather to fight with him upon the discovery of the One Piece. This suggests a WG conflict will culminate the series. But, BB's build is too great to not run to the end.....but how can a war happen against such a small group? Thus, the Final (War) Arc will be:
Straw-Hats and Allies vs the Marines vs Blackbeard and Allies.
I predict that on Raftel we will get Straw-Hats vs BB pirates one-on-one fights. The crew will defeat the BBs but Luffy will be caught off guard and lose to BB. He'll get what he came for - but he isn't who Roger is waiting for. He'll misinterpret the meaning of One Piece and with an Ancient Weapon (or more) instigate chaos and world war. The Straw-Hats will realize what is meant by One Piece and will raise to stop BB, save the world, and make Luffy PK. The Gorosei will be forced to explain their role, which will led to death/imprisonment by Akainu - the new emperor of the world. BB will use his power to gather allies (greedy men/women and past enemies of the crew) while Law and the rest of the crew's friends will race to support Luffy. The stage is set........
The greatest war in history is here. Destruction is prevalent across the globe. The biggest, most epic point of battle is in the ashes of Mariejois.....the leaders of each side lay it all on the line...their wills collide...old grudges are settled.....
The thematic values of the series reach a boiling point........all the ideologies preached come down to one place...
The Seas' Freedom vs Absolute Justice vs the Dreams of Man.
