Future Events The SHs won't beat any Admiral.

#1
This has nothing to do with powerscaling, its simply because the Admirals aren't build as villains.
The only exception is Aramaki.

Zoro, Sanji, Law, Kid have no business with any of them.
Only Luffy, Coby and maybe Sabo need to settle the score against Akainu/Kuzan.

Imo

Fuji will turn against the WG/Marines and he will have a rematch with Aramaki.

Akainu will fight Luffy and/or Dragon/Sabo.

Kuzan will sacrifice himself or lose to Coby.

Kizaru is hard to guess.
 
#5
I think Akainu and Kuzan will definitely fight the SHs but likely neither will have a decisive defeat. Akainu vs Dragon is also likely either in present or as a flashback.

GB/Kizaru might fight Sanji and Fuji/Kizaru might fight Zoro but I strongly doubt it especially in Fuji's and Kizaru's case.

Atp Akainu and GB are the likeliest to be villains, Fuji and Kiz are dubious, Kuzan is like 80% likely to be a double agent of some kind.

oda hinted that it was kizaru who fed luffy. kizaru fed his enemy. there couldn't be a stronger sanji parallel. their fighting styles match just as well. based on kicking and speed.

the strawhats will go from elbaf to new marineford next. they will fight the admirals pretty soon
 
#7
Akainu is not an Admiral. Neither is Kuzan.

Still stands to reason when, how or why they would fight.
The conflict against WG will be large scale. There are plenty of other characters that could fight them.
 
#9
If there's any, my bet on:
Akainu vs Sabo (decisive battle)
Fujitora vs Zoro (indecisive battle)
Aramaki vs Sanji (decisive battle)
Kizaru+Coby vs Kuzan (after hint by Oda that Kizaru might be the one who help Luffy vs Saturn)

Fuji is never betraying the WG.
He already did. Helping terrorists to free slaves was an ultimate betrayal against the principles of the WG.
But it's just like after his move at DR, the WG and Marines simply cannot fire him. He's a far too powerful military force and leader. With somewhat tolerable flaws.

And then immediately after said how we of the marines need to put our hopes on children slave soldiers.

He’s not leaving the marines is the point Imo. He’ll go down with them just like the rest. This mean was a war criminal after all

Is he tho? We read terrible stories about Rocks from the marines. But so far we didn't see any flashback where he actually did something some Luffy, Shanks or Roger wouldn't do.

What war crimes did he commit? Did he save people his employer didn't want to be saved? Bc honestly, I don't see him just slaughtering civilians. But even IF he did - he has great redemption potential considering his self induced sacrifice.

I'm curious to find out.

Him entering the marines in the first place was probably related to some respect towards Akainu. I still partly believe the WG will coup the Marines by poisoning Akainu (you know who'll do it). Poison was a topic often enough lately. Let's see how loyal Fujitora will remain to upcoming potential management changes.

We don’t know what he did yet, but seeing how he was willing to cause horrid collateral damage in dressers and Mariejoa, I’m sure he did something.
 
#18
I don’t see Fujitora fighting a SH, but GB and Kizaru can be easily repurposed as Zoro and Sanji’s matchup

Even if they don’t fight the M3, it will be a shame to just turn them into allies when the entire story has been building up to an admiral vs pirate showdown. At least let guys like Kid and Law fight them instead

Marine HQ are simply Endgame Version of Donquixote Pirates,
They are to WG what Doffy's Organization was for Beasts Pirates,

Instead of Doflamingo, We have Akainu
Instead of Corazon, We have Ace
Instead of Law, We have Luffy

Instead of Caesar, We have York
Instead of Vergo, We have Kizaru
Instead of Smoker, We have Kuma
Instead of Tashigi, We have Bonney

Instead of Sugar, We have Tsuru
Instead of Trebol, We have Sengoku
Instead of Pica, We have Ryokugyu

Instead of Diamante, We have Fujitora
Instead of Rebecca, We have Crocodile
Instead of Kyros, We have Mihawk
Instead of King Riku, We have Buggy

-------------

So as you said, SHs don't have any Business with Admirals, it's Luffy's Arc Alone, just like He went to Marineford Alone,
Instead, Role of SHs in Dressrosa will be Replaced by another Crew & that's Red-Hair Pirates,

In My Opinion,

Akainu will be Taken Down by Shanks (After He tries to Kill Luffy)
Kizaru will be Taken Down by Luffy (After He tries to Kill Kuma)
Ryokugyu will be Taken Down by Beckman (After He tries to Kill Buggy)
Fujitora will be Taken Down by Mihawk (After He tries to Kill Crocodile)

Other SHs don't need to Fight Akainu's Marines at all, They Missed his Arc in Marineford War, no need to add them now,
It's instead Arc of Luffy & Red-Hair Pirates + Cross Guild playing Role of Riku Family,
