Luffy Blueno's or Sabo beats him

The only connection Luffy and Akainu share that Sabo and Akainu don't is the scar

But Sabo and Akainu also have connections Akainu and Luffy don't, for example, Sabo has the Mera and Akainu has the Magu, it would be extremely fitting and poetic if the fruit that lost to Akainu before ends up beating him.

Umm also the fact that Zoro was literally there traumatized by Ace's death and that Luffy is the main character.
Zoro had far more narrative build up to kill Kaido but still Luffy ended up doing it.


Luffy vs Akainu actually has far more narrative build up.
Just because you have this Yonko > Admiral head canon doesn't impact the story.
Luffy will nearly die in defeating Akainu in the final war and that's how its gonna go.

Oda didn't do marine ford and have Luffy witness Ace's death and give Luffy an X the size of his torso to "Blueno" Akainu, that is as terrible from story telling perspective as Zoro defeating Mihawk the same way he defeated Pica.

Or perhaps Colored Trio just represents that level of power?

I mean they only changed the structure of a literal country by existing

That happened in 10 days combat. Kaido can melt an island in an instant. Also BB with 3 DFs plus 3 awakening will be out of this world

If Gorosei aren't fodders and are relevant top tiers, then I agree that Luffy will take out Akainu

Sabo will likely fight the strongest Gorosei member who could be stronger than Akainu otherwise I don't see the point of Sabo in the story.

Luffy and Akainu will certainly clash, but I think that in the end, Sabo will defeat Akainu. Sabo holds no grudge against Akainu, but so does Luffy not.

Why do people keep saying this bullshit? Luffy clearly holds a grudge towards Akainu



And Luffy DOES hold serious grudges and acts on them



Luffy will never be this pure hearted character who doesn't act on his anger. Stop trying to equate Luffy to Naruto aka NinjaJesus

Sabo got almost killed by celestial dragon twice .
‘From random celestial dragon shot him as kid, amd got nearly killed by IMU.
Sabomalready saw IMU so he already knew who rule the world. No reason for sabo to fight akainu which it waste his time.
We got wyper vs Enel , scabbards vs kaido , etc. Heck sabo can fight strongest gorsei or cp0 agent .

Law have issue with doflimingo yet luffy is only one to take out Doflimingo. Luffy got issue with Akainu which he kill his brother so luffy vs Akainu make sense.

Wait you really think Sabo would defeat Imu and five elders? Defeating Imu and 5 elders would change the OP world while defeating Akainu doesn't. Luffy's role in this story is to change the world. And Sabo isn't new to fighting the Marines and also, he is a brother first, revo second.

Why not?
Dragon and revs are after the government not marines.

Sabo is even the first guy to find out and mention Imu's existence.


Their whole point is to go to war with celestial dragons


Meanwhile Luffy is aiming for marines as he is a pirate.


I really don't see the point of Dragon's, Sabo's and rev existence if they aren't gonna actually overthrow the government royalty.

I would like to see a thread made about "Why sabo fights Akainu" just so the reasons they gave to sabo I can apply it to Luffy, and it usually applies to Luffy much more

In character Luffy wouldn't let the man that scarred him aside, yonko fans taking the scar speculation so lightly but their strongest creature always being bothered by his scar that happened 20 years ago
Luffy experienced it 2 years ago

Sabo himself was born of noble blood, his entire character is built on refusing this privilege. His fight is with the world elitists not a soldier who exterminates evil pirates.



Luffy is a pirate with a clear grudge against Akainu, literally the man who scarred him lol

This. The Navy was literally the reason the SHs went on a timeskip. BB captured Ace, but it was Sakazuki who executed him. And Luffy made it clear he will fight the Admirals at some point.

Akainu doesnt have any connection to the main mysteries of the series like the D clan, void century, Imu, Raftel, One Piece, etc. Thats one of the main reasons why he wont be the final fight of Luffy, its Blackbeard. One Piece is a pirate manga, the final fight will be pirates vs pirates.


Can Akainu and Luffy clash for a short while before someone else takes over? sure.


Will Akainu be Bluenoed before the final fight? No, he is too important to get Bluenoed.


I used to think the best fit for Akainu's opponent is Dragon as its evident from Marineford that Akainu and Dragon have some sort of history. But now that Sabo is surpassing Dragon's reputation and influence, like it or not, he is a legit option for Akainu.

Imo, neither enemies are the final antagonist, nor have struck me as them. Akainu is probably Luffy's fight, but central to the main Final War battle, however I don't think the FW ends the series directly, or at least ends with the Marines (it ends with the WG).

Blackbeard I'm not even sure makes it to the final war at this point. He may be the true obstacles for One Piece itself and the PK seat, which imo is best reserved for his character because of Whitebeards death speech.

This then personally comes down to a few choices for me.

- Im: if they are actually powerful with backing to rule the WG.
- Rocks: If they are actually alive and not just Blackbeard as the living will
- Shanks: if he's actually an antagonist and ties the series up (just as it started).

Yeah sure he aims to overthrow the celestial dragons but who did he fight at reverie after trying to attack? Was it the celestial dragons? Or was it the Admirals? Didn't the admirals try to protect the celestial dragons?

And again, Luffy is the one destined to change the world not Sabo. The revs will overthrow the celestial dragons, gorosei and Imu but with Luffy's help. What's the point of calling him Warrior of Liberation if in the end he was gonna do it for vengeance. He is not the Warrior of Vengeance.

And no, Luffy is not aiming to fight the marines. He didn't G5 during punk hazard and he didn't pursue to finish the fight against Fuji nor did he try to fight GB. And if he really aims to fight the marines, he would have ask to go exactly where marine base are.
