Questions & Mysteries Was Pre-Yonko BB scared of Akainu?

[MonsterKaido]

I still don't see how akainu could have beaten BB where only advantage he could have is physical strength maybe. Yami hard counters magu magu no mi and Gura gura no mi finishes the job.

He was Akainu would burn him down

He wanted to exchange Bonney for a warship. Since Akainu came, that plan was obviously failing, so fighting was pointless. He could handle Akainu, but he risks losing some of his crew, destroying the warship, and there is nothing stopping the Marines from calling for more backup

BB wanted a ship. He just needed to beat Akainu to have the ship.

WB wanted nothing from marines so he had no reason to fight.
