I think Oda is going to have a trope where the top marines fully onboard with the government (so not Fujitora and obviously not Kuzan) have a duo/right hand relationship with one of the gorosei.
Whats more, I also think these duo’s will make sense thematically.
For example, Kizaru is heavily associated with science and science-based factions in One Piece, and he is matched with Saturn, the god of science.
Akainu-Topman seems like an obvious duo based on this trend.
Topman = head of the Gorosei and god of justice
Akainu = head of the navy and believer in thorough/absolute justice
Also, if Zoro fights V. Nusjuro, it may be the case that Luffy fights 1v2 with Topman and Akainu.
Another likely match is with Ryokugyu and Ju Peter, based on them both being associated with nature and agriculture.
Thoughts ?
