Speculations Akainu gets a slightly improved Sabo treatment by Imu, does this elevate Imu or lower Akainu in terms of overall power for you?

[Malick the last Light]

For this hypothetical, assume that Akainu barges into the Empty Throne chamber and finds Imu there. There is some small back and forth with Imu telling Akainu to be a good dog (play on his red hound title) and do as he is told. Akainu then attacks the Gorosei like Sabo, but they scream in pain in their transformed state and are pushed back.

He then attacks Imu, who, similar to what was done to Sabo, swallows Akainu's magma and vinces in pain briefly before giving him some compliments and two-shooting Akainu with his weird arrow or tail attack. Akainu blocks the first attack but is clearly badly wounded, and the second one knocks him out. What happens to the power rankings of both characters?

Bonus question: would this make Imu the No. 1 of all time for you, or would Imu struggling at all with Akainu make you think less of them?

 

[Herrera95]

Of course this would makes Imu looks better and Akainu worse. But this has nothing to do with making Imu top #1.

By the way, change Imu for Akainu and Sabo isn't escaping.

I don't know about that! According to hints he'll move in this new chapter. Of course, Luffy is destined to beat him. So Imu is much more tough

False premise.

The admirals already know what the Gorosei are. Kizaru is shitting his pants in front of Saturn.
Akainu wouldn't walk in on Imu like that.

The guards at the palace even know about Imu. It's just how it is.

 

[DonWick]

I would think Imu is just number 1. Akainu has proven to be one of the strongest in the verse that would just make Imu look like Kaguya when she appeared in Naruto. I’d hate it.

 

[TheKnightOfTheSea]

It would make Imu a god tier

I'd still have Akainu as at least a mid-high top tier at minimum

Haki arrow or not. Akainu's adv CoC magma fist eats that 800-years drama bitch for breakfast.

If Shanks can one shot Kid and Don Krieg, does it elevate Shanks or dehype Kid?

I don't think something like this will ever happen, not even similair situations power wise. Yet if something like this happen then I guess it would make Akainu stocks raise, the gorosei ones fall quite a bit (you are immortal beings serving Im for centuries and an admiral attack is enough to make all 5 of them pushed back in pain?) and Im ones fall quite a bit too, it is not a problem to 2 shot Akainu, but deadbeard was already able to do it and Im = deadbeard as feats is already pushing Im down, what is a greater problem is Im show pain at Akainu attack as well.. he would be weaker than what I expect or Akainu stronger or both (and this is the summary of how I think the stokes will go).
