Speculations Akainu May Not Fight Luffy

[Blazing Lion]

As weird and unbelievable as it may seem because the narrative pushes this too much there is one thing that suggests this fight may not happen. Usually the main villain in an arc only show cases his full arsenal in the fight against Luffy. There are a few moments to hype the villain but most of their arsenal is reserved. BB has been involved in many incidents but his full arsenal and abilities are mainly hidden (off screening Ace, Magellan, Law, WBPs etc.). Shanks is a similar case, even Kaido's hybrid was saved for later (everybody knew he should have one being a Zoan).

But in Akainu's case we have seen quite a lot from him in MF. You can make a case for most of the Admirals but even among those he was given more of a full fight against WB and the others. Of course there is the potential of awakening to be shown.

The chances are pretty low but I think that Akainu vs Luffy may not be a full fight like against the arc's main villain but would be more of a small skirmish/clash.

 

[Salah WG]

Luffy & Akainu will most probably Clash, but i agree that Fans should stop expecting a Full Fight

 

[Xione]

Not that I believe it will be anything outside of a small confrontation... But, Haki limits is still unknown, awakening is still unknown, potential rokushiki. Akainu has shown more than others, but in comparison to BM and Kaido, not much.


So if Oda decides to make the fight fleshed out, he's still got plenty of unknowns to work with.

What‘s worse
-Luffy has a skirmish against Akainu but not a proper fight, someone else beats him
-Luffy beats Akainu before the final arc
-Luffy beats Akainu in the final arc but it’s a Blueno style warmup fight.

Cause those are the three options for him.

Cross out 3, that will never be an option, it’s like you purposefully ignored on how much Oda loves Akainu lol. Luffy beating Akainu before the final arc but it’s a legit extreme diff and emotional fight is the best-case scenario.

Tbh I only see awakening as the unknown, Rokushiki is still the same as CP9/0s, his level may be higher, we have already seen CoO, CoA and CoC (with advanced forms too). Akainu having ACoO and ACoA is a given at this point (I believe all Admirals have this). Only awakening seems to be the unique thing that might be for this fight.

 

[comrade]

They will clash and have a skirmish. But the fight in which Akainu falls will be against another opponent. The two most likely opponents for Akainu being Dragon or Sabo.

 

[Alter]

It is actually depends on Oda's plan regarding whether Akainu will take part in the final battle or not.

If he won't participate in final battle, Luffy might beat him before the final battle.

But if he participate in final battle, Luffy may still have some clash with him, but someone else will beat him.

I‘m a big Marine fan generally speaking, doesn’t change the fact that Akainu obviously isn’t going to be the final villain.

Personally I think someone else actually being the one to beat him in the final arc is the best option for him. A Bluenoing is really embarrassing and it would be a bit shit if he doesn’t make it to the final arc.

We haven't seen Sakazuki's Awakening yet, anything involving Rokushiki or much of his haki.

MF isn't an argument that he won't fight Luffy.

I know (your name), it's just the suggestions that you gave.

There are just too many players to predict who will be the final villain. I mean most think that WG/Im are the final villain but then what about BB, Shanks and Akainu? I seriously doubt that the Marines will be the final enemy even though they are the strongest of all forces. And in terms of power scaling how will Oda manage to keep making Luffy the underdog. He is coming off from fighting Kaido the WSC, even if we say that Shanks will not be a fight then that still leaves BB and Akainu and WG/Im.

Considering how much Oda loves the Admirals by basing them off his favorite actors etc. they are probably not gonna end up as the main villains.

Unless Akainu has some next level of Rokushiki and haki then awakening is the only thing. Look at Luffy's previous fights
Doffy with Paramecia awakening
Kata with Paramecia awakening and FS
Kaido with ACoC and FS (not sure if its just the stealing thing that he did) and ACoA already developed prior to ACoC
Lucci with Rokushiki/haki and Zoan awakening

Only Logia awakening remains to be shown.

 

[kekaro]

Akainu is literally one of 2? people that luffy has a personal grudge against, no shot

 

[Sasaki Kojirō]

Boy is it better to leave Akainu for Dragon or Sabo to deal with, believe me it will be better for Akainu's character, the most that can happen between Akainu vs Luffy is Akainu exchanging a few blows with Luffy momentarily and that's it, any higher level no matter who, is capable of exchange blows with Luffy as well so this is no exaggeration.

 

[Loki D. Terror]

Wabo vs akainu confirmed

 

[MarineHQ]

Luffy has a skirmish against Akainu but not a proper fight, someone else beats him

Nothing bad about it, nothing at all depending on who takes over.

Luffy beats Akainu before the final arc

What's bad about it ?
As long as Akainu is a full fight for Luffy after Kaido it's all we Admiral fans need for our agenda.

Luffy beats Akainu in the final arc but it’s a Blueno style warmup fight.

This was never an option, it's an agenda. You must be on crack to think this is a legitimate possibility considering how Oda stated how much he adores Bunta and that he wants to cherish Akainu in memory of the actor.

Not a single one of those options are bad.

 

[HA001]

Dragon and sabo are being set to face the wg not the navy they've made it very clear

 

[Juanpiz]

Yeah as Cool and badass akainu may be the story's main point is about the one piece(inbe4 someone mentions the oda quote that akainu could find the one piece in one year..yes but he doesn't want to do that) which blackbeard searches for
Akainu focuses on the navy and that is why he fought to become the fleet admiral despite his opponent belonging to the Same group
Well in the end akainu can claim to have killed the PK son and injured the MC so much that it is visible until now lol

Do you know the exact levels of his rokushiki mastery or strength? If not that's an unknown.
Do you know the specifics of the types of Haki he has and the extent to which he has em mastered? If not that's an unknown.

How he uses Haki and Rokushiki with the magumagu, another unknown.
