Lmao Akainu will be defeated in probably a month of in-story time. Luffy would still be a “rookie” by then
- become pirate king
- learned all variation of hakis
- reach Shanks/Roger level haki and not that weak rooftop shit
- master his awakening
- even more massive passive strength gains due to sailing from island to island and haki blooms
- and probably even stronger technique than gear 5
- 2/3 did not have haki to damage Big Mom and they still beat her
- while the other used Kaido as a training tool and Kaido still lost. And that's only with 1 week of haki training and still noob with adv CoC. Imagine if Luffy started out the fight with all his power ups. Kaido would get mid diff'd.

Tearing up just upon looking at this after such a long time lmao
