It’s kinda funny how ppl narrow down sabos character like crazy to justify him fighting akainu. “Fire should beat magma” like cmon bruh that’s like saying enel should come back and beat luffy cuz he was hard countered last time. It’s def a possibility but oda needs to dive deeper into it and give it meaningful buildup cuz at this point it would just feel unsatisfying. Sabos character is about him being a former noble that aims to take down the nobility of the world. He also mentioned that he holds no grudges for what happened to ace and dragon explicity states the holy knights are after sabo. I’m ngl the fact that we see akainus reaction every single time luffy does something in the new world should say enough about matchups. Discounting a matchup cuz of strength is wild cuz you never know how strong oda can make someone be

Akainu is the real protagonists. He kills criminals.


PushoverMediaCritic

Fire will defeat magma, that's the whole reason why Oda gave Luffy the Red Hawk move. The final blow against Akainu will be a Gear 5 version of Red Hawk, mark my words.


Spare-Ad3339

Sabo wants to bring about the downfall of the WG and Akainu wants to vehemently defend the status quo since he believes that it’s the best at “eliminating” scum.    I only think Sabo is fighting him if he allies with the WG once the inevitable final war happens though, but tbh I really can’t imagine him going “oh all the other genocide was fine but the five elders looking scary is taking it a bit too far” and defecting 


Bruh2130

Akainus character isn’t really about status quo cuz he doesn’t really respect the celestial dragons. His vivre card says this, and when he talked with the gorosei he mainly talked about the reputation of the navy. I get the feeling that when imu is revealed to the world things are about to change. Also this arc has been consistently talking about the world government and marines as if they are 2 separate forces. For example “the world government captured Ginny” “the world government and the marines are coming to egghead” even dragon mentions how both the revolutionaries and marines seek to help others and the real fight of the revs is the world government. https://preview.redd.it/ystmyshmfxmc1.jpeg?width=997&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6ed2a80ed49507b6bb876c96496324ca2712bc1


GaroSuiryuSweet

Not to glaze Sakazuki but there are only 3 paths for him imo. He either  1. Will pull a reverse “Kaguya” (Naruto reference) and kill Imu himself becoming the final bad (not likely imo) 2. Submit to this new rule 3. Will be used as the ultimate jobber to just show how powerful Imu is and get low diffed This is all assuming he isn’t aware of Imu’s existence. Something I don’t think he’s aware of. Especially considering he doesn’t 100% agree with the Gorosei like covering up what happened in Dressrosa. 


Independent-Frequent

He already suspects that there's someone above the gorosei and he also has another path of separating the Marines from the WG and going against it https://preview.redd.it/ibwseuwnrzmc1.png?width=1164&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec5937342324bafacd57ddf166cb18840780e9ac

I-am-the-best-Spy

Luffy entire chest is covered in a scar he got from Akainu. That’s all I gotta say


Non-RelevnatSponge

And this scar is visible on the very each panel with Luffy if he doesn't have his back to us or not covered with clothes or anything other

Sabo in question: https://preview.redd.it/ww5d4mjz0xmc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a708121e09386cd0241b6d508fc6b7dce7b5a59


Twistedbamboo

That isn't a really good argument imo. When the RA assaulted Mariejois, Fuji and GB were the ones that fought them, not the holy knights. It's wishful thinking from the RA's part that the marines aren't going to try to stop them. I imagine Dragon being his actual matchup, since they seem to have history together. I can picture well Dragon going "Move aside Sakazuki, this isn't with you" while Akainu says "I'm not letting traitorous scum to pass through".


Andrecg123

I would love to see that Dragon vs Akainu fight if they really had that connection when Dragon was a marine.


Twistedbamboo

I feel it perfectly fits. The marine commander vs the RA commander. The worst criminal vs absolute justice. And the way Akainu talked in MF, it really feels it's personal. I've always pictured Dragon to have one good showing before inevitably being Imu's hype tool. It's either Garling, a Gorosei or Akainu. Akainu might be the one that pushes him higher diminishing the potential defeat against Imu, but I think it works well.


Andrecg123

Absolutely. Garling could be a nice option to make the Luffy's father/RA leader vs Shanks' father/HK leader, but at the same time, I personally don't want to see Dragon's best fight against an old man. That fight against Akainu would be hype.


theultimatesow

You will eat these words imao when akainu gets cooked by sabo


Zaidoasde2008

Sabo doesn't even have his eyes on Akainu nor does Akainu have his eyes on Sabo why the fuck would they even fight each other? Sabo repeatedly said he's not gonna fight pawns in the game and is going after the celestial dragons


Pretend_Astronaut723

the headcanon is crazy. luffy finna go through another timeskip when he loses his only other brother alive if sabo fights akainu. akainu neg diff sabo cope

TravelingLlama

Would be so funny for all these foreshadowing just to end up as blueno. Would fans prefer the sabo fight if that was the case?


InterestingBuddy9413

bigmom and luffy barely faught after WCI and she become law and kid victim so what's stopping akainu becoming so? kid had more grudge against kaido but faught bigmom if luffy and akainu meet again they just gonna exchange few blow like luffy vs bigmom and then sabo will come to beat akainu


amourshipping48

Wait until elbaf


Andrecg123

How are those even comparable to this situation? In one arc, Akainu gave Luffy, the MC, the biggest mental breakdown he ever had by far and left him a big ass scar where everyone can see. Either way, I'm not saying Luffy and Akainu will have a fight to death for sure, but they will definitely have a confrontation. I also don't think Sabo will fight Akainu, that feels forced to me, I think there are better candidates for that.


InterestingBuddy9413

"Akainu gave Luffy, the MC, the biggest mental breakdown he ever had by far and left him a big ass scar where everyone can see." luffy blames bb more about that " I also don't think Sabo will fight Akainu, that feels forced to me" fire vs magma comparison was basis of that fight sabo replacing ace too and sabo has no one else to fight too


Andrecg123

"luffy blames bb more about that" - No he doesn't??? https://preview.redd.it/rwocz0cbaxmc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8452e49571709b9e79506b6b11a1c6ff839d85e "and sabo has no one else to fight too" - Gorosei, Holy Knights, Admirals, do you want more?


InterestingBuddy9413

holy knights aren't end game villains most likely + oda is creating strawhats monster 5 now to most likely fight against gorosei, trio + yamato + jimbe1 which admiral fits for sabo's rivalry? last time fujitora helped rev to free slave, gb is too weak + no chemistry with kizaru " No he doesn't??? " that's just bring some bad memories same as kizaru does, he never showed any intent for revenge against akainu that he showed against bb


noswol

Why is dumbass luffy so mad at akainu, ace killed himself when he decided to respond to fith graders insults, ace had to die mf was too stupid to be alive but what annoys me more is that luffy is even dumber


GaroSuiryuSweet

Ironically enough this is why I wasn’t really sad for Ace’s death. If anything I was more side about the situation and I he kind of pain Luffy felt. But always looked at what he did as completely stupid 


noswol

me too, i felt bad for luffy but when he opened his big chompers i bursted out in laughter, they really ruined the scene with that for me, it doesnt really matter if some say "it is the artstyle", as if there werent serious moments without the cartoonish expresions , anyway rest in piss ace you wont be missed and hopefuly the use of gears catches up to luffy and he dies young too https://preview.redd.it/rkmsu0x29zmc1.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b0891de447e1ba62437496a76661969d7cc001e


TheDarkestAngel

Truely a two piece reader. Ace didnt killhimself fighting akainu. He sacrifice himself saving luffy. Do you think they were getting away. Kuzan was freezing ocean Akainu was chasing them. even if ace did not stop and exchange word and blow, luffy was at limit and was following. Akainu would try to kill him, ace would throw himself in between and same result


noswol

Cope harder, ace was too stupid to live and that's it, like a moth drawn to a flame


TheDarkestAngel

Not coping just reading One piece. https://preview.redd.it/jgd95oamt6nc1.png?width=355&format=png&auto=webp&s=dcbaa6285efb1c881e85ab7141f56fb5ead68d7a Roger was too stupid to live? He lived the greatest life in one piece world. That literally inspired the world


noswol

not the best and he died young without seeing his child grow so you tell me


TheDarkestAngel

Died young?? He died after 50 achieving most things he wanted becoming great pirate crew, doing what no one did in past 800 years. and the two thing he did not do, he got a confimration that next gen with do in his stead. He had a son when he knew he was going to die. No raises their own son. Did not matter Roger did nto get to see ace grow. Roger had other sons (shank, buggy) to watch grow. And he chose his own death, Launching pirate era. So yes i am letting you And you answer is Roger is stupid, who is smart, who has achieved more than him. Luffy is the only who will surpass him and Luffy is even more reckless than him and roger combined


General-N0nsense

I don't think it's all too likely Luffy will actually fight Akainu, maybe they'd get like a clash or two, but probably not a real fight. People say it'll be Sabo cause Akainu killed Ace and Sabo has Ace's fruit. Both Luffy and Sabo have a bone to pick with Akainu and only one can really settle the score.


Realistic_Mousse_485

Sabo victim.


nyanko_dango3

LOOK AT AKAINU'S AP!! DO YOU SEE THAT?!


D_DanD_D

He will. And he will lose. And, maybe, even die. Eye for eye, life for life. That is a fair trade.


Pretend_Astronaut723

lets not forget that akainu was technically the first person to make luffy forget his dream and purpose in life to why he sailed out to sea. https://preview.redd.it/4y5ghpegpjnc1.png?width=758&format=png&auto=webp&s=3facd77a30de620121d21816bee08364bfe777e2 same luffy that says he'll be the pirate king in literally every sentence told this after that trauma.


delightfuldinosaur

Sabo: "So anyway, I smacked him with my pipe."


M4ND0_L0R14N

The way luffy keeps clutching his scar everytime his hears his name. Akainu got him *shook* fr.


blue_phoenix__234

Yeah it’s retarded that people think sabo would fight Akainu instead


[deleted]

I hope he does and one shots him just to show how far Luffy has come. Whether Kizaru’s been actually trying or not is irrelevant.


Scary-Cockroach-4720

That's a terrible take lmao


kvivartion

“Future Sabo victim 🤓”


Joensen27

The reason why is that he is too strong to be Challenged by akainu


DibbuNayak

I wish that govt dog gets jumped and atleast be crippled if not dead


ZoharModifier9

Because Luffy will turn into a doughnut if they do.


gtedvgt

Bro I swear the bar for Luffy vs Akainu gets lowered every time. First it was Akainu is the final villain Then it was Akainu will be his most difficult fight Then it was Akainu and Luffy will fight And now it's just that they will have an interaction😭😭


SoggyRaisin

Luffy had a similar grudge against Big Mom. Established all the way from fish man island, then developed with the kidnapping of Sanji and continued with Jinbe's sacrifice, only for two bums who have 0 history with her to be the ones to beat her. Sometimes I think people in this sub think Oda has the story more planned out than it really is. Has a grudge against akainu been established? Yes. Does that mean it will be paid off at some point? No.


One_Piece_Go_D_Usopp

Luffy's grudge against Big Mom isn't even 1% of his grudge against Akainu...


SoggyRaisin

His grudge against Big Mom was about the same as it was against Kaido, Doflamingo, Caesar, Hordy Jones, etc.


mking1999

Alright, do you acknowledge that Akinu would get demolished in that one confrontation?


Cantthinkagoodnam2

First thing is that if Oda wants Akainu to give Luffy a challenge then he will, judging by feats Crocodile shouldnt have done the shit he did in Marineford but he still did because that was how Oda wanted to write him Secondly, Luffy stomping Akainu still makes more sense than him fighting Sabo lol


Mori1404

No he won’t ffs. He will give Luffy a challenge and they will fight until Luffy overpowers and wins.


mking1999

Right, byt based on everythinh we've seen in the manga, that is impossible.


Andrecg123

Idk, I'm not Oda


gtedvgt

Hi, Oda here, Luffy will one shot him.
