Speculations Why i don't think Luffy will fight Akainu as a decisive fight

#21
I mean there's a big possibility of a clash between them, but...for a decisive final fight to determine final winner and loser between them? I don't think Oda will do it.

---

My old reason:

- Luffy has done his role as Ace's little bro in Marineford, while Sabo (both Ace's brother and fruit inheritor) hasn't done anything at all


---

Recently i also think about another reason

- I think Akainu is a fighter with way too narrow of a fighting style. Not that it's not strong, Akainu is undoubtedly strong, but well he uses his magma to burn and melt everything, and...that's pretty much it. Meanwhile we see that Luffy's real main enemies mostly have a bag of tricks to fight. Doflamingo uses his strings to fly, being a puppeteer, pierce, restrict enemy's movement etc. Katakuri uses his trident, his FS to predict and intangible, his mochi to entrap-suffocate, send projectiles. Kaidou uses his kanabo, his fire breath, tornadoes, his gust of wind etc. While Akainu is quite far from having wide variation of attack types.

What do you think?
I think Luffy will fight Akainu and that Oda will add some new things to Akainu's arsenal, all admirals are going to get their power retconed especially regarding haki because otherwise they don't stand a chance if they just rely on their df.

The fight will decidedly be very important imo, it holds majestic value and the odds like I predicted since many years are that Akainu will probably constitute the main thing in that arc

I agree.

I can definitely see Oda giving Akainu Advanced CoO, CoA, CoC while being a Rokushiki master with an Awakened fruit.

It was basically said by Pekoms, you can't rely on a logia fruit in the new world and Kaido even said Haki was the key. Admirals feats aren't that impressive so far but I trust Oda to give them good haki powers. GB has a black blade, that's the first step of the retcon

No, saying that what little we’ve seen of Akainu’s style indicates he won’t fight Luffybis just a poor excuse.
It may even be worse than some of the other typical ones that people try.

Luffy is fighting Akainu…no matter how much that thought terrifies certain people.
