Future Events Does Luffy vs. Akainu have to happen narratively?

Yeah. It's the narrative that BB powers up in the shadows without people taking him serious. Hence him having a bounty of 0 prior to becoming Shichibukai.
Which holds no meaning anymore when he is already a big shot Yonkou and one of the 4 most notorious pirates.
Sabo has a better claim
You know he doesn't. The only claim is because it threatens the power scaling of a certain fandom.

Also anyone thinking Sakazuki is gonna get the Blueno treatment is smoking grass lmfao.

Sakazuki is based on Bunta Sugawara, a famous Japanese actor, and his yakuza style tattoo is further proof of that. Sugawara is famous for his yakuza movies.
They also share the same birthday.
Even Sakazuki's name, actual name Sakazuki, is from 3 movies of Bunta Sugawara with Sakazuki in them.
> Gendai yakuza: Sakazuki kaeshimasu
> Bâkuto jingi: sâkazukî

> Kyôdai jingi gyakuen no sakazuki


Just take a look at how wanked and respected characters that are Japanese and/or represent Japan are, like Oden for instance. Now imagine the guy that is a famous Japanese actor, idolized by many, and appearing in many of Japan's national treasures when it comes to cinematography.


And of course Oda literally saying he will draw Sakazuki with a lot of respect.

'The greatest looking guy in the world'.
'I will draw Sakazuki with great respect'.

1. Sabo was first mentioned in the manga right after Akainu fisted Ace
2. Sabo deeply regrets not being at MF and wants to make amends for Ace
3. Sabo has Ace’s DF and implied to have his will as well.

Literally the only thing that Luffy has over Sabo is getting a scar from Akainu

Hes the strongest atm from the Marines. Like it doesnt make any sense for it to be anyone else. It'll be pirate king vs fleet admiral. They are destined to fight especially after him taking Ace's life and giving him that scar. Theres no way in heck Akainu is just gonna let him slide either. He doesnt care what good the SH's do. They are pirates and thats it.

This question infuriates me more then anything in One Piece. More than delusional Sanji fans thinking Sanji > Luffy.

Luffy carries the trauma and scars from two main people in the story that actually did something to him. He has no personal gripe with annnyone else. And finds go out of their way to think that Akainu and Luffy have no ties.

Why? Why do y'all do this?

Akainu killed this guy Ace in front of his eyes.
And Blackbeard stands in his way as the only other PK candidate.

Im can be either taking out by the entire Monkey D. Family or just Dragon.
The Rev's have specific interest in the Cipher Pol and Celestial Dragons of which Im stands as the Supreme Leader.

Imagine after all the years of admiral fans dismissal of Kaido, even being on the same tier as Primebread/Rogers.

Yet support a character with significantly less hype/portrayal in strength, like the magma brat as there equal. Brain dead lvls of stupid if u ask me
:kayneshrug:

Oda already introduced the 2 key plot elements that shut this down. First he brought back sabo, then he introduced Imu.

  1. How is that an argument for Sabo beating Akainu?
  2. Doesn't translate to him taking down Akainu in any way.
  3. Oda confirmed that the Mera Mera is an entire level below the Magu Magu. Sabo could never defeat Akainu because his ability overpowers Akainu's which means Ace's source of strength cannot beat Akainu.
No. There are multiple reasons mentioned in this thread over and over again why Luffy has a 100× more of a claim of fighting Akainu than Sabo, with the scar being an undeniable hint.
