Questions & Mysteries Is fighting Akainu a downgrade now?

[Ven437]

Even DR Xebec failed to strike down kid Kuma, who ate that df a few minutes before

Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha? Low trollbait

Xebec already got hyped sidequesting an Akainu-tier opponent

Meanwhile Akainu in his FIRST action sequence in post-TS failed to do shit. Useless sequence other than to show how bad Oda's gotten at drawing him lmfao

That's assuming Xebec didn't use the voice of all things to warn Kuma before attacking.

Pretty clear Oda wants to gun for actual god-tier opponents instead of someone who caps out at Roger's lvl max

Who though? as far as we know, there's no villain with God powers besides Imu. Loki is Luffy's Tsundere best friend and immune to DR so he doesn't really work, and Teach should probably last until the end game(people can debate if he goes before or after Imu, but probably around the same general time) and while people can differ on how strong current Luffy is, it's pretty clear he isn't ready to rematch Imu next arc or whatever.

Akainu is a "Op contender" and has a personal connection with Luffy by scarring him. Luffy should at least have one 1v1 fights before going to Laughtale,at least,and I don't think anyone would want Luffy vs a Gorosei.

Xebec didn't even see Kuma coming.
