Character Discussion Garp would have killed Akainu at Marineford

#22
Lmfao I think one Old Gen funeral was enough for that arc.

Two piece Marco >= Kizaru readers benefitted long enough from Oda keeping Marines in his backpocket for years.

Although it's not like the story needed to advance a step further for someone to realize Admirals sit at the apex of the One Piece verse. Marineford cemented it alone.

If that wasn't enough Oda made two explicit statements on Dressrosa. The fact that this debate still exists reflects poorly on this community, in particular the Yonkou fandom.
they are hiding behind garp like hes some sort of exception

Iike there’s suddenly ten times more threads putting Garp against admirals than against pirates lol
in his heyday he was an admiral without the title
they are so funny.

they will also act like his mate who became the fleet doesnt have coc. One chapter with it and he is better than all of them in their prime.I recall too many folks jumped on the headcanon marines are incapable of having coc. time to rethink that.

Oh brother… already jumping to conclusions :gokulaugh::gokulaugh::gokulaugh: wait until Oda let’s akainu actually do something of note… then u will see why garp would not have done much of anything.

You mean the same guy who was sitting near his ''son'' waiting for him to get executed ? The same guy was going to kill a colleague because he did the job ?

Garp throwing a village-level punch is proof he would kill Akainu? Then just imagine what continent level Aokiji would do to-oh wait...

People thought Garp was exaggerating here



He wasn't.
Absolutely, Garp could have/would have killed PisspantswhenstoppedbyShanksZuki. Akainu is only slightly more powerful than Aokiji, as evidenced on Punk Hazard. Aokiji is BB's underling. Garp fought Xebec and crew. Akainu fought Sickbeard and seastoned shakled WB pirates. Akainu isn't weak but he is not old school admiral-level strong. Tsuru would have folded Akainu up, literally and figuratively.

Akainu already took a bloodlusted old Legend's sneak attack at MF. He managed to counterattack and walk away from that exchange, in a rather fine state.

Garp could probably achieve something similar to Whitebeard, but eventually Akainu's counterattacks melting parts of Garp would give him the advantage and Garp ends there.
