Speculations Would Kuzan have been a good Fleet Admiral ?

#3
imo, he would be the best... i think all of the laziness he showed was because he didn't want to do anything that was against his belief, and if he was the FA, he would do everything to make the marine as the real justice
and i have a theory about kuzan actually won the duel against akainu, but gave akainu the FA title, so he can just be the leader of SWORD
pls share ur opinion bout this too

Do you think that Aokiji/Kuzan was really the best choice to replace Sengoku as the Fleet Admiral of the Marines as Sengoku himself thought ?
If he had become the new FA how good do you think he would have been at leading the Navy ?
Well, i can see Aokiji might become good Fleet Admiral. Because he became lazy because of akainu too right? *its stated in ace magazine/novel

But, the real question is if Akainu lose and leave navy and take the role of Aokiji in the canon, well thats really scary.

Does getting to view the gigantic OP world through Luffy's eyes cloud our judgment on how much wreckage pirates actually cause?
Not all are "good" like Luffy. On the other hand, Luffy isn't "good" from the WG's perspective since he's messing, albeit unknowingly, with the world's taboo secrets.

That's why Oda mentioned he'll never have Luffy preach about justice and so forth, since he's presenting multiple equally hypocritical/valid views on sovereignty and hegemony.

If Aokiji's lazy justice is lenient enough on Luffy/Robin like pirates, would it lead to more civilian casualties by not being lenient enough on Blackbeard/Kid like pirates?

Is Akainu's psuedo-theocratic view on Marines/Pirates actually preventing more chaos than Aokiji's philosophy would?

I'm participating with questions of my own since I honestly have no idea how it would play out, I think he'd implement his philosophy to its fullest, I'm just not sure how much "better" or "worse" it'll be given the complex relationships between the world's powers.

I genuinely think he would have been awful

While he would maintain the morality that Sengoku's Marines upheld, Kuzan would be too laissez-faire as a leader. The Marines would probably become a far more passive entity which is certainly not what the world needs

That being said, as a positive there would be a lot less tensions between the Marines and their employers - we saw how contentious Sakazuki is with the Gorosei; this likely damages the infrastructure of the WG fighting force and is certainly something you wouldn't get with the "lazy" justice of Aokiji

That being said, the only person in the Marines I can see being a good Fleet Admiral would be Fujitora. I don't consider Akainu to be an effective leader because he is too hardline. As a result, the Marines in turn seek out conflict rather than being peacekeepers.

Likewise, I dont consider Aokiji to be an effective leader because they may be too relaxed regarding Piracy and Politics

He would have been far better than Akainu. Akainu is a hypocrite dirtbag that is just another example of somebody in power that shouldn’t be bear it. He views civilians and subordinates as stepping stones to justice. The guy is a murdered. Aokiji isn’t like that. He’d be a far better Fleet Admiral, will probably be the Fleet Admiral under Dragon’s new World Government at the end of the series.

Akainu's higher ups are the ones who wanted him as fleet admiral in the first place. The yelling between akainu and gorosei isnt gonna do anything to their relationship.

Aokiji would be a good leader in non military organization. Military organization need someone like akainu to push his subordinates to its full potency. Aokiji is too soft for military organization
I think the Marine would have been better under his command, however Ace would have survived too I bet

As long as he got a bit more serious about the position, he would have been great. Probably better than Sengoku.

I think in this case he cared about Sakazuki NOT getting it. He knows Sakazuki and his sense of justice well, he's a mad man.

If he was more serious yes and I would expect that he would be more respected than Sakazuki. I mean people work for him but they would most likely prefer to take orders from Kuzan not him. He would also be very problematic for Gorosei I guess because he is the best choice from the OG Admirals when it comes to sparring people's lives and he wouldn't care that much about Fujitora's actions on Dressrosa and talk back to them more than Sakazuki does. Also if he was the FA then I would be 90% sure that SWORD would take over the Marines and try to convince more and more people to oppose the Celestial Dragons ( no they will not start rebellion but change the rules of how the things are done etc ).
 
#15
we need to remember that he was a burning justice man.
- he was so burn so that he wouldn't let a single rat escape (e.g trace robin)
- he was so tactical to maximize who, where, and how of his every man...
But he got owned by his man personality then let robin.

I think sengoku mean that kuzan will lead by plan so not many sacrifices needed.
He is too lazy to brawl so there is an injury / sacrifice. He wants a lazy worthy plan that executed very well.:catsure:

Right now, there is not enough of a paper trail to believe one would be better than the other.
What exactly has Akainu been responsible for in the last 2 years?
  • Akainu moved HQ to the other side of the Red Line facing the New World.
Okay. Has acting more confrontational toward the Yonko led to anything? Has Akainu declared war or captured any of their major subordinates? Doesn't seem like it. It seems like the status quo that prevailed under Sengoku. Aokiji would not move the base, saving money I suppose, but otherwise nothing changes. Akainu can more easily send forces to the New World, which is where more help is needed due to the danger of the Yonko. Aokiji has to go to the trouble of sending marines over the Red Line every time, much slower response rate to the NW.
  • Akainu recruited Fujitora and Ryokugyu as new Admirals.
This is just filling empty positions. They seem like good men, Fujitora confrontational toward Akainu. Ryokugyu won't start a fight between Admirals in Reverie just because Akainu told him to. Aokiji most likely approves and hires the two. Aokiji should have a better relationship with the two, but what the consequences of that? Higher morale boost for average marines? Does Fujitora actually capture Luffy and Law because Aokiji said so? I doubt it. Hard to see the changes here. Aokiji likely directs these Admirals better, but I doubt any Yonko are getting captured due to that.
  • Akainu sent Fujitora to manage the chaos in with Law and Doflamingo in Dressrosa.
An admiral was sent to deal with a complex situation that involves former World Government employees. Does Aokiji send a different Admiral? Unlikely. Does Aokiji scorn Fujitora after the chaos of Dressrosa and ban him from Marine bases? No. So I guess Fujitora returns back to HQ instead of wandering off under Akainu. Fujitora ultimately ends up in Reverie either way, that's his goal in joining to begin with.
  • Akainu sent at least one Admiral (Ryokugyu) to be on guard at Reverie. Fujitora tagged along.
Would Aokiji protect Reverie with a third admiral? Seems like overkill. HQ doesn't seem so safe with only Akainu and some old semi-retired folks. Maybe Aokiji leaves it all to Fujitora and Ryokugyu ends up elsewhere. Now that is trouble. I don't think Fujitora alone can deal with 4 Rev commanders, if the CP0 don't back him up then Aokiji might end up with a seriously wounded Admiral. Aokiji might possibly handle this worse than Akainu.
  • Akainu has not sent any Marines to Wano
Akainu is the confrontational guy here, and he's not doing anything. Aokiji similarly backs off from Wano.
  • Akainu has send forces to capture the Warlords after the Reverie disbanded the organization.
This actually seems like an order from the World Government. The kings made the decision, the Gorosei must have approved, and they passed it down to the chain of command for Akainu to arrest these pirates. They seem to know where all of their locations are, even Weevil who was traveling in former WB territory. Why not just fulfill the deed, get the jump on them, and capture them ASAP? Aokiji may oppose using up resources like this when two Yonko are forming an alliance, but he may not have a choice. Aokiji may be forced to the WG's bidding. Akainu didn't even want to break up the Warlord system, if he had a say in all this then the government-backed pirates would remain and no marine would be hunting them right now. Until we know more about this, I can't imagine Aokiji handling anything differently.

That's one for Akainu (moves HQ to New World), one for Aokiji (gets along with New Admirals better), and the rest cannot be determined in a conclusive manner. Akainu gets the W because I'm not sure what Aokiji and Fujitora having respect for one another actually amounts to. At least Akainu is in a better position to send Admirals and Vice Admirals to check the movements of the Yonko, who are a major threat to the stablization of the world.

By the way, in all this I just assume Akainu disappears from the face of the planet should Aokiji become Fleet Admiral. He might remain a Marine, denying a spot to a good man like Fujitora or Ryokugyu. He might quit and become a Neo-Marine like Zephyr, chasing down pirates through vigilante justice. The world with Fleet Admiral Aokiji is decisively worse with a free Akainu running around not chained to a desk and enacting his justice across the world. So I just decided to ignore what happens to Akainu here to keep it fair.

Not necessarily, tho I don’t doubt that Kuzan would do a good job or didn’t want tha position. His main zeal and drive to fight Sakazuki for it. Could very well be cause....well Akainu is a madman and an extremist and is willing to KILL his own men to throw hands wit pirates. I’m not sure if that’s what’s best in a military organization

Under normal circumstances, he'd have been more ideal than Sakazuki. However, in the ever growing era of chaos, the Marines needed an aggressive arm. Someone who would put up a strong front against all the pirates emboldened by Newgate's last words.

We'll ultimately see if Sakazuki was the right choice, but at the time of choosing, he made sense for the government.
 
#19
Aokiji - would be like Sengoku ( though he's softer than the Buddha )
Kizaru - the worst option to be the FA

the best two to be FA are Akainu and Fujitora

We haven't seen much from Ryokugyu , but he seems to have wild personality . i bet Akainu and Fuji are better options for FA than him
 
#20
Isn't Akainu losing the plot?

(1) The Gorosei went over his head saying they don't care about his honour



(2) Fujitora ignored him and he had to ban him from every Navy base



(3) The Warlords left, and he is severely undermanned
