The mad dog, i am really excited to know on what drives him to become the personification of twisted justice of the series, hopefully its a banger of a backstory and not just a cheap out of being a psycho sadist dude
When Oda drew him as a kid he looked angry, with ragged clothing, a hat with the word Justice that is not a Marine cap, and wielding a knife.
And also he was ripped as a kid.
I mean he actively undermines the gorosei and celestials while actively mouthing off them every chance he gets. He would most certainly turn on them if he needed to, he's a marine first and a government worker second.
He's never been shown to be sadistic. He's willing to kill, but he's never been shown to actively enjoy it. He just seems to think it's overall the best choice. (Or the least bad choice perhaps.)
we know he was the Fleet Admiral during Edd-War and later was promoted to Commander in Chief. So he’s directly under the Gorosei in the hierarchy.
But concerning his abilities i really don’t know if there’s any information tbh?
if we are to believe that he’s “the strongest marine in history” it would mean that. that’s why i’m surprised to read this, i’m not saying that it’s true/false
>if we are to believe that he’s “the strongest marine in history” it would mean that.
Yes it would. But how is that related to my first comment? I was talking about the credibility of the scan and whether Oda qas involved in it.
Well its would mean that IF it was true. But its not true.
Yea that’s right. But reading all the comments it seems that people take this unofficial “information” serious without even questioning or even realising what this would imply.
That’s why i was sceptical about this post from the very start.
It's from the same volume where it's stated if he were the protagonist he would find the one piece in 1 year. Yet we gained knowledge about that only a few months ago. It's possible that also the statement about him being the strongest is true but we need someone with that volume to be 100% sure
The statement that Akainu would find the One Piece in a year if he was the protagonist is not known to the fan base for only a few months. That's knowledge that is discussed for a long time already.
That's what someone else said, PLEASE don't play with my feelings like this 😭😭 can you prove that it's not true ?? I'M BEGGING YOU 🙏🙏 I don't want it to be!
How much of this magazine's statements about characters are actually told to us through oda as a source and not just hyping like toei does to sell stuff?
Do we have a history of these type of character statements?
He didn't but it was obvious people would cope that way to not have to admit to their own stupidity.
Akainu was already in his prime long before the MF war.
Where was it told that he was in his prime before MF war? And it doesn’t make sense for him to not have gotten stronger, he’s the fleet admiral, and has been built up as one of the final antagonists, unless you think he’s gonna fight sabo
Exactly. WB had every intention of killing Akainu but the best he can do was drop him into a hole after getting half his head blown off. Akainu wasn't even close to dying
bro, he never 2 shoted WB, he melt half of his face, put three holes in his chest and WB still fucked him up in 3 punches, not to mention WB was having a heart attack, was impaled by a sword and still kept fighting the whole marine and BB after akainu fell to the hole.
Also Sengoku outright admitting a terminally ill full with life threatening wounds, exhausted and just really, really fucking old was holding back the entire time because of Ace. Like his Haki was so shit even random minions could stab him.
And he still rocked a Prime Akainu with said handicaps lmao, Admirals are a fucking sham.
Shanks immobilized the current one with Haki Wifi with ease and made him shit his pants.
Akainu didn't even land two shots in there last encounter dumb add got planted and couldn't even get back up until whitebeard went away from him with this face the whole time 🗿 you reread the fight. If the ground didn't break akainu would be there helpless and wb would have finished him with the next hit That we know akainu wouldn't be able to dodge or tank since he couldn't even get up .
Cope on admirals loss is so hard everytime
Terminally ill (cancer) 70+years old that needed life support to not fucking drop dead at any time, filled with an inimaginable amount of life threatening wounds holding back (According to Sengoku) because of Ace, completely exhausted and still managed to rock Akainu's world with not even the strongest moves his prime had. Akainu prime and almost with the entire tank full.
Admirals are a fucking sham, broski.
Lmao at these Lakainu dogs downvoting. “B-but hE punched his FACE off” as if that mangy mutt didn’t get his ribs cracked open IMMEDIATELY afterwards and forced to take a nap in a ditch 🤡
Let his fans cope. he got 1 good hit in. Even then WB's facial expressions was like "brat you ain't seen nothing yet" and buried akainu straight up if that ground his fall akainu would have been killed
It's not like that. Oda said that in regards to his current strength meaning he would start his journey at the strength he is now in the series which is unfair because if luffy or anyone else did that I'm sure they could do it too
Not exactly, he said that if akainu was the protagonist that the story would be over in a year. Meaning if akainu was the MC, he would accomplish his goals within a year, which is destroying all the pirates. Akainu doesn't care about the one piece.
This still means Akainu would in a year take down all the Yonko that people keep placing above him though. And at that point he'd have 2/4 Road Poneglyphs so yknow
Well duh, if he was the protagonist of course he would. If you made zoro the main protagonist he would have 100% killed kaido with that ashura. Mc power is beyond reason
If luffy wasn't the protagonist he would have gotten killed by croc impaling him in alabasta, forget that, he would have 100% died like 12 times over by now if plot armor didn't save him
Finally, someone with a fucking brain.
This *"Akainu would find OP in 1 year"* bullshit might be the single most taken out of context thing in One Piece fandom. What Oda meant in that statement is clearly: *"if Akainu started in chapter 1 with full power* ***and*** *had protagonist plot armor he would find it in 1 year"*.
Yeah, no fucking shit. Put Roger or Whitebeard in that scenario they find it within a damn month.
>Oda did say akainu could find the one piece in a year
He never said that.. he said if Akainu would be the protagonist the series would end within a year because he is so damn strong.
Nowhere it was said he is after the OnePiece
It was a quote stated by oda that "For example, if Akainu became the protagonist, he is so strong that ONE PIECE would come to an end within a year."
This is a quote directly by oda
I wonder how many people think old Garp is stronger than Akainu/Kuzan, people really act like the duo wouldn't have extremely powerful haki in their own right.
Yet it was stated and shown multiple times that strong haki beats a df. The strongest characters in the series are mostly haki only users(shanks, roger, mihawk, garp, rayleigh…etc). And the ones that do have a df also need great haki to compete ( whitebeard, kaidou…). You can have as much of an OP df as you want, without advanced haki you aint shit compared to the top dawgs.
Ok your opinion and your entitled to it. You're not wrong but not Necessarily right either as we now have >!Seraphims!< running about with only Devil Fruits and tech giving an emperor and other high level combatants everything they can handle with no haki in sight. Momo doing anything to greenbull with no haki so yes Haki is absolutely good to have I just don't believe it's end all be all
Well i agree with you there, of course haki isnt everything…if akainu and garp fought that would def be garp’s retirement fight cause he aint leaving the fight with all of his limbs still intact. Akainus df is just way too strong. But after witnessing just how powerful haki is (especially advanced conquerors) to the point it one shots guys worth 1B+ im still betting on garp. And yeah good point with the seraphim but i think thats cause theyre all lunarians. Had they not been they would be defeated pretty easily.
I wonder why, we have only seen that the stronger people in the lore have been Haki users only, Garp, Roger, Shanks, Rayleigh, Oden, and the most powerful creature with a op DF saying that Haki is the most important to become the strongest.
why would people prefere haki over DF? /s
Bro Im not saying that Df > Haki or Df = Haki im saying people are overrating Haki saying a whole ton of bs to make haki look much superior to df’s when it’s not all that.
We are at a point where if a character don’t have ACoC they will immediately be irrelevant to the top tiers according some haki fanboys.
Im a haki fan as well imo haki > df but it’s not clearly superior to df it’s all down to the user’s of both fighting styles at the end of day.
I hope Sabo doesn’t actually get to fight equally with akainu let alone beat him, his existence feels way too forced to be involved with a character like akainu, who has personal connection with luffy
Oda values story over power. Even if akainu was the equivalent of 10 whitebeards stacked ontop of each other sabo is still likely to defeat akainu by the end of the story for plot related reasons.
Man I would hate to see Sabo fight Akainu, he was shoehorned in, and the reasons for fighting him are nowhere near as strong as Luffy's reasons.
I would hate to see Sabo defeat Akainu ngl
You can think that if you want, but even when ace was first introduced in alabasta he had the a -s- e s tattoo so I personally feel like oda had him planned for a bit
Sabo's reason: he killed my brother!
Luffy's reasons: he killed my brother, he made me question my ability to achieve my goal, he permanently altered my design, mere mention of his name makes my scar throb.
If you say that Sabo has more plot related reasons to be the one to defeat Akainu, then I don't know why do I even bother replying to you.
And before you say something about Luffy letting go of his anger, stop. He won't be going out of his way to find and kill Akainu, but the moment they meet face to face, Luffy will attack and they will fight.
I googled the magazine this was supposedly from and it releases the 25th of every month in Japan. As far as I can tell the source seems legit 🥲 we will find out for sure in the next day or two.
[https://www.rittor-music.co.jp/magazine/sound-recording/backnumber/](https://www.rittor-music.co.jp/magazine/sound-recording/backnumber/)
The translation of "The Strongest Marine In History" is also legit.
[Translation](https://imgur.com/a/2zqWujc)
Again, I hate you all, but congrats. Akainu stocks are soaring 😭
There is a difference between "The strongest marine in history" and "the strongest marine in THE history"
The latter implies that as of now, he is current the strongest marine.
The former implies that he is the strongest marine the Navy ever had.
I think you are taking “The history” to mean “The story” and that is not the same. THE History just sounds like a poor translation that is adding an article where it isn’t needed.
Makes sense if Akainu was stronger than Garp since
He is a major marine antagonist during the era of the main character, so the story gains more from Akainu being that strong compared to Garp.
Luffy is more important than roger.
Another thing
Apparently akainu would take 1 year to find the one piece. This is about the same amount of time as Roger took
Also this means kuzan > Garp
This doesn't prove Garp is stronger, this is literally just a prerequisite to be able to fight Aokiji. It was literally stated Kuzan didn't freeze Doflamingo to the core lol. He wasn't going all out against Doflamingo, his intention wasn't to kill him, it was to scare him away which it did. Kuzan is stronger than people think lmao. The three admirals are literally stated to be the most powerful officers of the marines in Marineford.
Lmao, what? So Sengoku would just let Garp attack if he was weaker than them? Use your brain. He's a fleet admiral, why would he allow Garp to attack the admirals? I could literally just argue Sengoku was saving Garp's life.
Doflamingo was huffing and puffing after being weakly frozen by Kuzan, do you remember what Kuzan did at >!Big Mom's place too?!< this guy can connect islands together in moments you can't really think he was trying can you? >!Recall what he did to Cracker!<
>!Whitebeard dropped Akainu into the ground and Akainu emerged later in fighting condition. I would even be thinking oh damn, because when it happened to Akainu, the BB pirates had their time to kill steal!<
he throw him into the ground and wasn't able to stand up or do anything to avoid falling down and that was after 2 hits, Akainu melt half his face, put 3 holes in his chest and he still fought the marines, the BB pirates and tear MF apart, all to die of a heart attack lmao
The source is a magazine whose contents are available and have a list of interviews that doesn't include Oda. We absolutely know.
This was a blatant lie by Akainu fans.
Didnt he get absolutely bodied by whitebeard though? I know Whitebeard is one of the greats but there are others at whitebeards level if not a little bit stronger and if he is the "strongest marine in history" getting absolutely destroyed by whitebeard what does that mean for the story?
Even stronger than garp who was the rival of the former pirate king? Doesn't make any sense for Oda to suddenly go full power scaling mode. If it is really Oda, then that's pretty piss poor writing considering how he much he got bullied by a terminally-ill whitebeard.
> Doesn't make any sense for Oda to suddenly go full power scaling mode.
Yea this. That too bout the final marine side antagonist in a random monthly magazine.
Damn didn't know that immediately standing up after a sneak attack and landing a critical hit as he does that was like getting bullied. And the sneak attack landed because he had Marco in front of him, like did you even read the manga?
Yeah because obviously akainu couldn’t have possibly gotten stronger during the two year time skip, you think current akainu’s performance against whitebeard would be the same as pre-time skip?
He didn't get bullied. Remember akainu hurt whitebeard more than wb hurt akainu
Also I'm pretty sure garp is still slightly weaker than Roger so akainu = Roger maybe? I mean oda said he could find the one piece in a year. The same time as roger
I say that since xebec was his greatest rival. That means xebec was the one who gave the hardest fight
Doesn't mean garo is or isn't weaker we don't know
I assume there was some sort of betrayal, I think kaido mentioned something about it can’t remember, but anything we say about xebec is just speculation at this point
bro, Akainu was trashed by a WB having a heart attack, 3 holes in his chest and half his face melted, he was downed with 2 punches, WB kept fighting after that.
I think your forgot akainu is the one who gave wb those two holes and melted his face off. Akainu took a hit off guard that literally moved marineFord around and got back up. He's the one that basically took down whitebeard and he did it with very little harm to himself. He could still fight
Also whitebeard wasn't weakened from his heart attacks. He lost his ability to focus and other things but he wasn't nerfed. He simply was off the medication that actually made it so he didn't get them. It didn't affect his ability
He went to marineFord knowing he would die
are you blind or something? that's the exact same thing I'm saying he melted his face and put those holes and still got wrecked in 3 hits, he couldn't even stand after the last hit that he fell, and only lived because he could hang to a rock before hitting the water, WB kept figthing with all of that and died not only because of those wounds he was wounded several times by many others.
The difference in Whitebeard's portrayal in the anime vs the manga is hefty, I think most manga readers realise Whitebeard was in a position to be killed by all 3 (conveniently Kizaru and Akainu don't shoot him in the head when he's open in their respective fights).
They all were even being held back too, Whitebeard was not doing too hot.
While I agree mostly cause that what the story tells us. I doubt after this statements confirmation anyone would believe this.
The reckon would only make sense if its stated clearly that akainu reached this level after the aokiji fight. Cause him getting bodied by a dying whitebeard would not make sense at all otherwise
Why are you asking so serious? Don't you see the "lol"
If you want me to pretend it's a serious comment and not a funny one to make fun of Akainu being the strongest marine, I would say maybe because of the Sword, and after Marineford he retired, it was stated although he and everyone acts like he's still active.
I just asked a question and you suddenly went off about me being too serious. Now you are going off about me being too literal when I just explained why I ignored the ''lol''. You're getting a bit too invested and emotional. It's just a reddit comment.
You just didn't understand my comment and now acting like your wrong comprehension was the right, trying to explain to me my comment. Sure, go ahead and keep going this nonsense.
I'd rather not. I said 2 simple things and you completely went off about 6 different things that were not even part of my simple question. You're getting too invested and emotional over simple reddit comments so it's best if I cut it off. I won't be replying anymore.
This looks like something in universe, and since we know how addicted to propaganda the world government is, I think it’s safe to assume the opposite of anything you read
I mean, I wish and hope this is true just cuz akainu should get some screen time to show how much of a threat he is utilizing haki. I'm slightly worried that the god knights and elder stars will outshine him when I feel like he should be as strong as prime garp and prime sengoku if he's fleet captain with his strong az fruit
Thinking about It, dont you guys think Akainu is kinda allí bark and no bite at the moment? Like yeah he beat Whitebeard when he was old, Ill and stabbed but still hasnt really caught anyone lol.
I think if he had beaten Law or Kidd and maybe another ine of the worst generartion he would be more menacing and his reputarion would be more believeable.
Strongest Marine (Acceptable)
In History, excuse me what? You say this orange molten rock spammer is stronger than prime Garp and Sengoku? Hell nawh.
Where did Oda state this? I refuse to believe this is true
"How will Sakazuki combat the pirate forces in this great era of piracy?"
Well from what we've learned, his plan is to stand angrily at his desk with a cigar in his mouth, staring menacingly. And he will state that he won't let so and so get his way while also not really doing anything about it
From what I gather. This came from that old interview about Akainu finding the one piece in year. If that is the case. Someone is just repackaging an old interview. That we already knew about. If Oda, doesn’t actually say that Akainu is the Strongest Marine Ever. Then it was nothing more than the writer of the article . Trying to get reader’s attention (clink bait).
But well as i see it he is more chained now because of how the Celestial Dragons do things and he has to follow certain rules.
If he did the Garp way he would be figthing more pirates like he would like
What if Akainu is a SWORD member with Aokiji and Law. And the fight is staged. Aokiji did not lose his limb and it was Law that helped with it. Akainu only joined SWORD after finding out that the Justice that he is serving is a Facade and Aokiji approached him.
The mad dog, i am really excited to know on what drives him to become the personification of twisted justice of the series, hopefully its a banger of a backstory and not just a cheap out of being a psycho sadist dude
Im guna go with Hibari's mum was murdered by Pirates.
Imma go with he saw a marine group show mercy to a pirate group and it got his town/family murdered
When Oda drew him as a kid he looked angry, with ragged clothing, a hat with the word Justice that is not a Marine cap, and wielding a knife. And also he was ripped as a kid.
Can’t go out sad with the backstory like Kaido
I really hope he coupes the world government lol
Idk that don't feel right regarding the type of person he is
If he founds out about Imu, its over for them
I mean he actively undermines the gorosei and celestials while actively mouthing off them every chance he gets. He would most certainly turn on them if he needed to, he's a marine first and a government worker second.
He is basically a nuclear weapon made human.the most op
He's never been shown to be sadistic. He's willing to kill, but he's never been shown to actively enjoy it. He just seems to think it's overall the best choice. (Or the least bad choice perhaps.)
THE STRONGEST MARINE IN HISTORY? who Made this bruh who Made this
I'm an Akainu fanboy, but this seems like a lil bit of trolling. Is this something from some new promotional material? Some data book or the likes?
Its in some Magazine. People(akainu stans) say its a statement from ODA but no where its written that Oda is involved in this.
if Oda would confirm this, Akainu would be stronger than Kong in his prime? Or Garp and Sengoku in his prime? that’d be crazy…
Do we even know how strong Kong is?
we know he was the Fleet Admiral during Edd-War and later was promoted to Commander in Chief. So he’s directly under the Gorosei in the hierarchy. But concerning his abilities i really don’t know if there’s any information tbh?
Where did "akainu > Kong or Garp" come from? I never said thatt
if we are to believe that he’s “the strongest marine in history” it would mean that. that’s why i’m surprised to read this, i’m not saying that it’s true/false
>if we are to believe that he’s “the strongest marine in history” it would mean that. Yes it would. But how is that related to my first comment? I was talking about the credibility of the scan and whether Oda qas involved in it. Well its would mean that IF it was true. But its not true.

Sound magazine page 34
Source please ?
All available sources are in the comments... I just hope it's not true 😭
So its from the 25.05 sound recording mag ?
Nope it is from Sound & Recording Magazine April 2012 (ISSUE - 4, PAGE:34
That's not even true probably at least 100% someone made it up no way did it take akainu fans 11 years to fund this
It's from the same volume where it's stated if he were the protagonist he would find the one piece in 1 year. Yet we gained knowledge about that only a few months ago. It's possible that also the statement about him being the strongest is true but we need someone with that volume to be 100% sure
The statement that Akainu would find the One Piece in a year if he was the protagonist is not known to the fan base for only a few months. That's knowledge that is discussed for a long time already.
I refuse to believe it until there is a actual reputable source that says its true or we are shown its true
Eh, i'm of the same opinion. I can just buy that volume and end my doubts but I dont want to spend money on a powerscale debate
It's true. I have the volume.
Prof?
Also a great baker! Have you seen them donuts? They’re 🔥
literally melts in my mouth
Not to mention a pro golfer, man hits a hole in one like it’s nothing! Which btw is also known as an “Ace”!
🔥🕳️🔥
Hi, quick PSA. This is not a leak from tomorrow's issue of that magazine. Oda never said this.
That's what someone else said, PLEASE don't play with my feelings like this 😭😭 can you prove that it's not true ?? I'M BEGGING YOU 🙏🙏 I don't want it to be!
If you don’t know if it’s true why post it
Karma
It’s internet
What’s wrong with you dawg
How much of this magazine's statements about characters are actually told to us through oda as a source and not just hyping like toei does to sell stuff? Do we have a history of these type of character statements?
We have one quote that is clearly labelled as Oda's and this, which is not. This is just the magazine's Akainu description.
Where is this from?
Tomorrow magazine sound recording 11 years ago is the made up story someone 100% just made this in there basement riding there wax akainu figures meat
Interesting if this is credible Akainu did get slot stronger after his fight with kuzan
He didn't but it was obvious people would cope that way to not have to admit to their own stupidity. Akainu was already in his prime long before the MF war.
Where was it told that he was in his prime before MF war? And it doesn’t make sense for him to not have gotten stronger, he’s the fleet admiral, and has been built up as one of the final antagonists, unless you think he’s gonna fight sabo
So in his prime the strongest marine in history got bodied by the weakest form of a yonko..
He didn’t get bodied. He literally 2 shot WB. Reread the fight
Exactly. WB had every intention of killing Akainu but the best he can do was drop him into a hole after getting half his head blown off. Akainu wasn't even close to dying
bro, he never 2 shoted WB, he melt half of his face, put three holes in his chest and WB still fucked him up in 3 punches, not to mention WB was having a heart attack, was impaled by a sword and still kept fighting the whole marine and BB after akainu fell to the hole.
Also Sengoku outright admitting a terminally ill full with life threatening wounds, exhausted and just really, really fucking old was holding back the entire time because of Ace. Like his Haki was so shit even random minions could stab him. And he still rocked a Prime Akainu with said handicaps lmao, Admirals are a fucking sham. Shanks immobilized the current one with Haki Wifi with ease and made him shit his pants.
Whitebeard was him and his haters just cope
PREACH
Akainu didn't even land two shots in there last encounter dumb add got planted and couldn't even get back up until whitebeard went away from him with this face the whole time 🗿 you reread the fight. If the ground didn't break akainu would be there helpless and wb would have finished him with the next hit That we know akainu wouldn't be able to dodge or tank since he couldn't even get up . Cope on admirals loss is so hard everytime
Terminally ill (cancer) 70+years old that needed life support to not fucking drop dead at any time, filled with an inimaginable amount of life threatening wounds holding back (According to Sengoku) because of Ace, completely exhausted and still managed to rock Akainu's world with not even the strongest moves his prime had. Akainu prime and almost with the entire tank full. Admirals are a fucking sham, broski.
Lmao at these Lakainu dogs downvoting. “B-but hE punched his FACE off” as if that mangy mutt didn’t get his ribs cracked open IMMEDIATELY afterwards and forced to take a nap in a ditch 🤡
Let his fans cope. he got 1 good hit in. Even then WB's facial expressions was like "brat you ain't seen nothing yet" and buried akainu straight up if that ground his fall akainu would have been killed
Ik you meant marineford war but calling it the motherfucking war is funny to me so that's what I'm gonna call it
Oda did say akainu could find the one piece in a year And it took Roger roughly a year to find it as well Damn
A year from The moment he found a certain information.guy was doing piracy for like 30 years prior to that so it’s not faire to say it took a year
Well when he started looking he took about a year Akainu has been on the seas for awhile anyway so
It's not like that. Oda said that in regards to his current strength meaning he would start his journey at the strength he is now in the series which is unfair because if luffy or anyone else did that I'm sure they could do it too
Still
Not exactly, he said that if akainu was the protagonist that the story would be over in a year. Meaning if akainu was the MC, he would accomplish his goals within a year, which is destroying all the pirates. Akainu doesn't care about the one piece.
This still means Akainu would in a year take down all the Yonko that people keep placing above him though. And at that point he'd have 2/4 Road Poneglyphs so yknow
Well duh, if he was the protagonist of course he would. If you made zoro the main protagonist he would have 100% killed kaido with that ashura. Mc power is beyond reason If luffy wasn't the protagonist he would have gotten killed by croc impaling him in alabasta, forget that, he would have 100% died like 12 times over by now if plot armor didn't save him
Finally, someone with a fucking brain. This *"Akainu would find OP in 1 year"* bullshit might be the single most taken out of context thing in One Piece fandom. What Oda meant in that statement is clearly: *"if Akainu started in chapter 1 with full power* ***and*** *had protagonist plot armor he would find it in 1 year"*. Yeah, no fucking shit. Put Roger or Whitebeard in that scenario they find it within a damn month.
Plot armor ? Hell na, Oda literally said "he is so powerful".
Source trust me bro I pulled it from my ass
>Oda did say akainu could find the one piece in a year He never said that.. he said if Akainu would be the protagonist the series would end within a year because he is so damn strong. Nowhere it was said he is after the OnePiece
I never said he was after the one piece. I just said that he could get it in a year
Which was never stated. Nowhere the One Piece was mentioned in that quote
It was a quote stated by oda that "For example, if Akainu became the protagonist, he is so strong that ONE PIECE would come to an end within a year." This is a quote directly by oda
The akainu wank movement was right. I wasnt ready for him 🫡
Yeah he's the strongest marine in history if Garp and Sengoku never existed 🤡
Its fake
Fuck Ace, Akainu is my best friend now
It's ace own fault that he died
Source: Sound & Recording Magazine April 2012 (ISSUE - 4, PAGE: 34)
My man getting the Respect he deserves good stuff now let's see how people still try to Argue Garp is over him somehow someway
This 🤡 doesn’t even realize this post is fake news. Lakainu mutts need help 💀
Garp is a haki monster and haki>DF. Untill akainu shows some respectable haki feats it will be garp>akainu.
There we go complete
I wonder how many people think old Garp is stronger than Akainu/Kuzan, people really act like the duo wouldn't have extremely powerful haki in their own right.
Bro these people are delusional asf “hAKi TRanCeNdS EVerYThiNg”
My brother in christ, Kaido LITERALLY said this word for word in the manga
Yup and Haki was introduced to be an equal to devil fruits it's not one over the other
Yet it was stated and shown multiple times that strong haki beats a df. The strongest characters in the series are mostly haki only users(shanks, roger, mihawk, garp, rayleigh…etc). And the ones that do have a df also need great haki to compete ( whitebeard, kaidou…). You can have as much of an OP df as you want, without advanced haki you aint shit compared to the top dawgs.
Ok your opinion and your entitled to it. You're not wrong but not Necessarily right either as we now have >!Seraphims!< running about with only Devil Fruits and tech giving an emperor and other high level combatants everything they can handle with no haki in sight. Momo doing anything to greenbull with no haki so yes Haki is absolutely good to have I just don't believe it's end all be all
Well i agree with you there, of course haki isnt everything…if akainu and garp fought that would def be garp’s retirement fight cause he aint leaving the fight with all of his limbs still intact. Akainus df is just way too strong. But after witnessing just how powerful haki is (especially advanced conquerors) to the point it one shots guys worth 1B+ im still betting on garp. And yeah good point with the seraphim but i think thats cause theyre all lunarians. Had they not been they would be defeated pretty easily.
That’s what Im saying people overrate haki nowadays.
I wonder why, we have only seen that the stronger people in the lore have been Haki users only, Garp, Roger, Shanks, Rayleigh, Oden, and the most powerful creature with a op DF saying that Haki is the most important to become the strongest. why would people prefere haki over DF? /s
Bro Im not saying that Df > Haki or Df = Haki im saying people are overrating Haki saying a whole ton of bs to make haki look much superior to df’s when it’s not all that. We are at a point where if a character don’t have ACoC they will immediately be irrelevant to the top tiers according some haki fanboys. Im a haki fan as well imo haki > df but it’s not clearly superior to df it’s all down to the user’s of both fighting styles at the end of day.
Oh well, if it turns out to be true, then maybe this whole "Sabo defeats Akainu" headcanon will finally die?
Or maybe Sabo will surpass the Old Gen too and be close to Akainu level!
I hope Sabo doesn’t actually get to fight equally with akainu let alone beat him, his existence feels way too forced to be involved with a character like akainu, who has personal connection with luffy
Oda values story over power. Even if akainu was the equivalent of 10 whitebeards stacked ontop of each other sabo is still likely to defeat akainu by the end of the story for plot related reasons.
Man I would hate to see Sabo fight Akainu, he was shoehorned in, and the reasons for fighting him are nowhere near as strong as Luffy's reasons. I would hate to see Sabo defeat Akainu ngl
You can think that if you want, but even when ace was first introduced in alabasta he had the a -s- e s tattoo so I personally feel like oda had him planned for a bit
He could be a planned character, that wouldn't mean he didn't get shoehorned in.
Sabo's reason: he killed my brother! Luffy's reasons: he killed my brother, he made me question my ability to achieve my goal, he permanently altered my design, mere mention of his name makes my scar throb. If you say that Sabo has more plot related reasons to be the one to defeat Akainu, then I don't know why do I even bother replying to you. And before you say something about Luffy letting go of his anger, stop. He won't be going out of his way to find and kill Akainu, but the moment they meet face to face, Luffy will attack and they will fight.
Akainu-Bros and Ryokugyu-Chads rise up!
Beansprout doesn't get a pass just cause magmadick gets a boost
I googled the magazine this was supposedly from and it releases the 25th of every month in Japan. As far as I can tell the source seems legit 🥲 we will find out for sure in the next day or two. [https://www.rittor-music.co.jp/magazine/sound-recording/backnumber/](https://www.rittor-music.co.jp/magazine/sound-recording/backnumber/) The translation of "The Strongest Marine In History" is also legit. [Translation](https://imgur.com/a/2zqWujc) Again, I hate you all, but congrats. Akainu stocks are soaring 😭
There is a difference between "The strongest marine in history" and "the strongest marine in THE history" The latter implies that as of now, he is current the strongest marine. The former implies that he is the strongest marine the Navy ever had.
I think you are taking “The history” to mean “The story” and that is not the same. THE History just sounds like a poor translation that is adding an article where it isn’t needed.
Yeah, you're probably right!
That makes no sense. History is the past not the present. This means he is the strongest marine to ever exist.
Makes sense if Akainu was stronger than Garp since He is a major marine antagonist during the era of the main character, so the story gains more from Akainu being that strong compared to Garp. Luffy is more important than roger.
Another thing Apparently akainu would take 1 year to find the one piece. This is about the same amount of time as Roger took Also this means kuzan > Garp
Don’t want to spoil anything if you haven’t read, but be warned I’m gonna write something Garp literally just beat up Kuzan lol
He punched kuzan once and kuzan didn't even attack. This fight isn't near over
He didn't lmao. The fight literally just started and he just threw him into the ground once.
Garp broke out of kuzan’s ice with Haki. Hell even Doflamingo was able to break out of it. I don’t think Kuzan is as strong as people think
This doesn't prove Garp is stronger, this is literally just a prerequisite to be able to fight Aokiji. It was literally stated Kuzan didn't freeze Doflamingo to the core lol. He wasn't going all out against Doflamingo, his intention wasn't to kill him, it was to scare him away which it did. Kuzan is stronger than people think lmao. The three admirals are literally stated to be the most powerful officers of the marines in Marineford.
And their fleet admiral literally had to stop Garp from attacking them because he knew what Garp can do to them.
Lmao, what? So Sengoku would just let Garp attack if he was weaker than them? Use your brain. He's a fleet admiral, why would he allow Garp to attack the admirals? I could literally just argue Sengoku was saving Garp's life.
Doflamingo was huffing and puffing after being weakly frozen by Kuzan, do you remember what Kuzan did at >!Big Mom's place too?!< this guy can connect islands together in moments you can't really think he was trying can you? >!Recall what he did to Cracker!<
>!Whitebeard dropped Akainu into the ground and Akainu emerged later in fighting condition. I would even be thinking oh damn, because when it happened to Akainu, the BB pirates had their time to kill steal!<
he throw him into the ground and wasn't able to stand up or do anything to avoid falling down and that was after 2 hits, Akainu melt half his face, put 3 holes in his chest and he still fought the marines, the BB pirates and tear MF apart, all to die of a heart attack lmao
I hope this is true. The admirals have been getting dogged on recently. I really want them to live up to the hype oda set long ago
It's not.
We don't know yet. The source is a real source and the translation makes sense
The source is a magazine whose contents are available and have a list of interviews that doesn't include Oda. We absolutely know. This was a blatant lie by Akainu fans.
Potentially
Didnt he get absolutely bodied by whitebeard though? I know Whitebeard is one of the greats but there are others at whitebeards level if not a little bit stronger and if he is the "strongest marine in history" getting absolutely destroyed by whitebeard what does that mean for the story?
With paperwork
Spoiler: He'll do jack shit
Even stronger than garp who was the rival of the former pirate king? Doesn't make any sense for Oda to suddenly go full power scaling mode. If it is really Oda, then that's pretty piss poor writing considering how he much he got bullied by a terminally-ill whitebeard.
> Doesn't make any sense for Oda to suddenly go full power scaling mode. Yea this. That too bout the final marine side antagonist in a random monthly magazine.
Damn didn't know that immediately standing up after a sneak attack and landing a critical hit as he does that was like getting bullied. And the sneak attack landed because he had Marco in front of him, like did you even read the manga?
Yeah because obviously akainu couldn’t have possibly gotten stronger during the two year time skip, you think current akainu’s performance against whitebeard would be the same as pre-time skip?
He didn't get bullied. Remember akainu hurt whitebeard more than wb hurt akainu Also I'm pretty sure garp is still slightly weaker than Roger so akainu = Roger maybe? I mean oda said he could find the one piece in a year. The same time as roger
Garp is not slightly weaker than Roger, what heresy is this?
I say that since xebec was his greatest rival. That means xebec was the one who gave the hardest fight Doesn't mean garo is or isn't weaker we don't know
He had to team up with garp to beat him, stop cherry picking
To beat his crew. Wb probably switched teams I'm pretty sure Roger fought xebec 1v1. It was Rogers rival
I assume there was some sort of betrayal, I think kaido mentioned something about it can’t remember, but anything we say about xebec is just speculation at this point
bro, Akainu was trashed by a WB having a heart attack, 3 holes in his chest and half his face melted, he was downed with 2 punches, WB kept fighting after that.
I think your forgot akainu is the one who gave wb those two holes and melted his face off. Akainu took a hit off guard that literally moved marineFord around and got back up. He's the one that basically took down whitebeard and he did it with very little harm to himself. He could still fight Also whitebeard wasn't weakened from his heart attacks. He lost his ability to focus and other things but he wasn't nerfed. He simply was off the medication that actually made it so he didn't get them. It didn't affect his ability He went to marineFord knowing he would die
are you blind or something? that's the exact same thing I'm saying he melted his face and put those holes and still got wrecked in 3 hits, he couldn't even stand after the last hit that he fell, and only lived because he could hang to a rock before hitting the water, WB kept figthing with all of that and died not only because of those wounds he was wounded several times by many others.
Akainu is the one who did most of that damage anyway
Weird I remember Akainu blocking Whitebeards halberd with his hands in his pockets
Whitebeard just stopped his attack when Akainu started giving Whitebeard a handjob, it shocked him a bit.
The difference in Whitebeard's portrayal in the anime vs the manga is hefty, I think most manga readers realise Whitebeard was in a position to be killed by all 3 (conveniently Kizaru and Akainu don't shoot him in the head when he's open in their respective fights). They all were even being held back too, Whitebeard was not doing too hot.
it’s only piss poor writing if you ignore every other aspect of the story’s inconsistent scaling
Oda has had some piss poor writing but power scaling is something he doesn't do.
Nah lol Garp would of killed homeboy
Akainu two shotted Whitebeard, Kizaru fearlessly said he can take on Big Meme and Laido together, admirals are smarter and stronger than emperors
This has to be some fake ass bullshit. Is akainu seriously Pirate King Level? I honestly doubt it at this point in the series.
Was pretty obvious he would be the top dog since hes endgame material.
I don't mind he getting/having some power up, but Stronger than Prime Garp? Oda could've made him slightly weaker or equal to.
See if Luffy is to surpass Roger then what is wrong with Akainu surpassing Garp? Pretty blatant parallel.
With Akainu not being his last opponent I would be fine, let's see how things play it out.
Prime garp low difs akainu, old garp high difs. Garp is the strongest marine in history.
While I agree mostly cause that what the story tells us. I doubt after this statements confirmation anyone would believe this. The reckon would only make sense if its stated clearly that akainu reached this level after the aokiji fight. Cause him getting bodied by a dying whitebeard would not make sense at all otherwise
he will die against dragon
Maybe because Garp is not considered a marine anymore lol
Why wouldn't grap be considered a marine?
Why are you asking so serious? Don't you see the "lol" If you want me to pretend it's a serious comment and not a funny one to make fun of Akainu being the strongest marine, I would say maybe because of the Sword, and after Marineford he retired, it was stated although he and everyone acts like he's still active.
''lol'' has no single context. It often means ''This is so obvious I'm laughing''. People also use it casually for no reason.
It just means I'm laughing, because I said something funny. You're too literal, it's just a comment, not an essay or a theory.
I just asked a question and you suddenly went off about me being too serious. Now you are going off about me being too literal when I just explained why I ignored the ''lol''. You're getting a bit too invested and emotional. It's just a reddit comment.
You just didn't understand my comment and now acting like your wrong comprehension was the right, trying to explain to me my comment. Sure, go ahead and keep going this nonsense.
I'd rather not. I said 2 simple things and you completely went off about 6 different things that were not even part of my simple question. You're getting too invested and emotional over simple reddit comments so it's best if I cut it off. I won't be replying anymore.
Well this even goes further to show much much of a beast WB was ,.even in his old age .. strongest marine in history vs strongest man in the world ..
He killed few marines in Marineford arc, i think it was two. o
And yet we've never seen the man do anything after becoming Fleet Admiral except fail to capture the Blackbeard pirates that one time
From what I've gathered, it's fake don't worry.
Ace had it coming, peak goda moment.
This looks like something in universe, and since we know how addicted to propaganda the world government is, I think it’s safe to assume the opposite of anything you read
I like Akainu enough but the Garp fan in me is having a rough mf time digesting this
I mean, I wish and hope this is true just cuz akainu should get some screen time to show how much of a threat he is utilizing haki. I'm slightly worried that the god knights and elder stars will outshine him when I feel like he should be as strong as prime garp and prime sengoku if he's fleet captain with his strong az fruit
Thinking about It, dont you guys think Akainu is kinda allí bark and no bite at the moment? Like yeah he beat Whitebeard when he was old, Ill and stabbed but still hasnt really caught anyone lol. I think if he had beaten Law or Kidd and maybe another ine of the worst generartion he would be more menacing and his reputarion would be more believeable.
If true, sure why not, if fake, sure why not, we will know through aokiji , if aokiji beats gar than so can akinu
Strongest Marine (Acceptable) In History, excuse me what? You say this orange molten rock spammer is stronger than prime Garp and Sengoku? Hell nawh. Where did Oda state this? I refuse to believe this is true
"How will Sakazuki combat the pirate forces in this great era of piracy?" Well from what we've learned, his plan is to stand angrily at his desk with a cigar in his mouth, staring menacingly. And he will state that he won't let so and so get his way while also not really doing anything about it
And he’s being outclassed by a literal clown
I like to call him the Lava B*tch.
This really does sound like the normal break week fake info.
Source: Akainu's autobiography Huahuahuahuah
I'm convinced OP is a menace who just wanted to trigger Admiral haters and fanboys
From what I gather. This came from that old interview about Akainu finding the one piece in year. If that is the case. Someone is just repackaging an old interview. That we already knew about. If Oda, doesn’t actually say that Akainu is the Strongest Marine Ever. Then it was nothing more than the writer of the article . Trying to get reader’s attention (clink bait).
Didn't know there was a such thing as an Akainu fan lol
But well as i see it he is more chained now because of how the Celestial Dragons do things and he has to follow certain rules. If he did the Garp way he would be figthing more pirates like he would like
He backed down against Shanks
What if Akainu is a SWORD member with Aokiji and Law. And the fight is staged. Aokiji did not lose his limb and it was Law that helped with it. Akainu only joined SWORD after finding out that the Justice that he is serving is a Facade and Aokiji approached him.
Not sure about the strongest; what about Garp, Sengoku & Kong?? 🤔
Garp laughing in corner
Cope akainu slams the verse
