Today I bring you FACTUAL evidence that Luffy vs Akainu is 100% happening with arguments that no amount of copium will be able to DEAL WITH :cheers:
So recently a friend of mine told me that if we look at SBS 59 in JAPANESE, there was an element that was left out in the English translation
Indeed in this SBS, Oda answers someone who asked him about how he had forgot to draw Garp's scar in previous occurences and Oda's answer is quite interesting, he jokes that it is a special scar which "aches" or "tingles" when "因縁の敵" is nearby
The VIZ translation translates 因縁の敵 by "an enemy he hates"
HOWOEVER looking at the raw text and possible translations online we got something very different here :cheers:
Interestingly enough this same term is also used to refer to Shanks' relationship to Blackbeard in a databook where his scar is also mentioned :cheers:
Now of course you're going to ask "B-but how does that relate to Luffy and Akainu being guaranteed to fight" ?
Welp It's pretty easy, Luffy's scar aches the same way that Shanks' does when he sees/mentions BB or when Kaido remembers Oden :cheers:
TL:DR : According to ODA, Luffy and Akainu are FATEFUL RIVALS/ENEMIES AND ARE DESTINED TO FIGHT :cheers:

因縁の再戦 not " fated enemy " 因縁の敵..
The thing about scars aching is interesting though but you also go from when Garps enemy is near to when Luffy and Shanks think about the one who inflicted their scars.. Big leap..
