Yeah I definitely see a reform happening with those people you mentioned and via Sword. A sort of Neo Marines if needed. Although we had Neo Marines with Zephyr and Brynndi World too ofc?
Ahahahaha, Sabo teaching Akainu to be better, I love that! Thats better than outright defeat or killing him! Oda said he doesnt like to kill his villains because destroying their dreams is more impactful and punishing too. Although he's making some villains suceed somewhat at least post defeats like Crocodile and especially Enel and Wapol too though...
Yeah that is Akainus only redeeming quality, from an "ethical perspective" especially at least anyway.
I really love his conversation with Fujitora, that was something that really needed to happen and be said, a real eye opener.
Absolute goat moment and one of the reasons why I love Fuji so much:
Also I want this to be true too:
