Spoiler Speculations
Pacifistas. Just how many of them are there? I think with enough they could give the Whitebeard pirates a run for their money. Maybe this battle is gonna end up as a total wipe out for the Whitebeard pirates, thus sparking a pirate hunt campaign destined to stamp out the age of pirates for good, thus turning the race for the one piece into a battle for survival.

Go into tools --> Addons and manually disable adblock and restart firefox. It should work then.

The Shichibukai are basically at one half of what they originally were. Jimbei switched sides. So has Hancock. Blackbeard isn't here. If WB were to win, the Shichibukai and Marines would become a non-entity for the New World. Can't happen. Not only because of things like Mihawk plot immunity, but because while fighting other pirates would still be interesting, it doesn't maintain the "anti-establishment" motif which the series has held, leading to what will be the eventual confrontation with the WG and the missing century.
That being said, an army of Kumas is silly. My personal expectation? Marines have revived one of the ancient weapons. Now, whether it's going to be something along the lines of a "perfect" Pacifista, a huge warship ala Pluton, or something else altogether I don't know. My crazy guess? Blackbeard is going to come riding in on its helm and was sent to get it by the Marines - if you recall, he showed up to the call before going to Impel Down. But whether or not it's him, one of the ancient weapons is going to come into play here.
I'm not sure the world government has an army of pacifistas. In Saobody someone mentioned that each one costs as much as a battleship, and while the world government has deep pockets I don't think they have that many pacifistas.
Pluton showing up I hadn't thought of and that might be the case. If the world government defeats Whitebeard AND has Pluton then they suddenly become an even more formidable enemy, and it becomes a race for one piece with the government in pursuit. It also gives new motive to figure out the deal with the poneglyphs, since the secret to defeating Pluton would likely be related to the lost history.
I don't think the marines would trust Blackbeard, or any of the Shichibukai, with retrieving an ancient weapon. That doesn't mean Blackbeard would be above trying to steal it if he knew they had it of course.
On something of a related note, does anyone know why none of the yonkou have made it to Raftel yet? I've heard that they're "stalemated" but that doesn't quite satisfy me as I don't see how it would stop them just racing from island to island. My best guess is that some islands in the new world take a long time for a log pose to locate, like years.
I guess you forgot that extremely large detail in the greatest arc of the series.
There's other Ancient Weapons.
Pluton was supposed to counter/balance out the other one.
Now it's a race to the finish to see who finds it first.
EDIT: The plans exists, the weapons themselves do not.

Ten bucks says they came from the Blank Period of History.
We're not limited to two here. Only two mentioned
What are you some kind of big silly
Yeah that is pretty silly.
Now Hancock joining the crew? That's just crazy.

Luffy vs Mihawk
Mihawk's fierce attacks forces Luffy to back away further and further from Ace.
Luffy can't attack, only thing he can imagine by doing so is to be sliced up.
Mihawk smiles, noticing Luffy's gaining experience.
Scene changes to Croc
Croc says something to the likes of "teaming up with you? don't make me laugh. Don't you mean, "please Mr Croc can I work under you?" Get lost Doflamingo!
Croc creates a massive sandstorm, blowing away both Jozu and DoFlamingo.
Buggy is caught in the sandstorm also and is blown away
Scene back to Luffy
Two prisoners attack Mihawk, and says their names but I forgot them. (<- Nja's comment)
Mihwak says the likes of "I don't remember names of fodders" and continues attacking Luffy
Luffy finds Buggy up in the sky. "Gomu Gomu no JET scapegoat!"
Switch places with Buggy, and now it's Buggy vs Mihawk
Buggy doesn't die even from getting sliced into bits, and he gets cocky and shoots a bomb at Mihawk.
Mihawk hits the bomb back at Buggy, blowing him up.
Luffy: BUGGGGYYYYYY!!! I will never forget you!!
Luffy gets back to heading to his brother, and Marco is watching him.
Marco: Hey, back him up!
Marco calls up the fifth division captain, Vista "The Sword Flower".
Mihwak vs Vista
Vista: First time to meet you, good sir Hawkeye.
Mihawk: You are the Whitebeard Pirates Fifth DIvision Captain Vista "The Sword Flower" are you not!?
Vista: Oh, you know me?
Mihawk: Of course I would....
Sengoku stops the broadcast
Sengoku (If we broadcast this, the whole world might be against us... the only thing that needs to be broadcasted after is our victory)
After that, huge army of PX shows up
End
Additional bits by Nja
Oh, and Mihawk was shaking in joy from Luffy's power.
He was thinking to himself Luffy may be the most powerful man on the sea, because he gains alliance and friends everywhere he goes, even his former enemies.
Also, Crocodile is badass. Uh-huh.
And Sengoku's big plan is a bunch of PXs? That's kinda... tame, really.

1) Awesome way for Luffy to deal with Mihawk. Honestly though, what else where you expecting with available resources/people near by?
2) Croc man, way to not disappoint.
3) I think the whole stopping the broadcast and PX thing would be more inline with human abuse/torture/cyborgs on the WG side. The world knows Impel Down exists, but do they know what goes on in there? Afterall, no one is released from the prison, you need a Marine Battleship to get there, and once there you stay there. I bet Sengoku just wants the PX to show up, put things in order and leave, resume broadcast and execute Ace while the pirates are all dead/ko'd and the WG Victorious. Any survivors who leave spread the "rumor" of the PX and the WG basically have an unkillable force to purge pirates on the sea.

Well, you are in luck.
This will work as a good excuse for why the world government is in the New World and kicking ass in it as someone mentioned.
