After Whitebeard was killed, it was clear that the Navy had the upper hand. The Whitebeard Pirates retreated as they wanted to respect the last wish of their captain. However, Akainu was still chasing them. He continued to bully them, but he was ignoring the fact that Sengoku and co.
Blackbeard and co. Akainu is a stern follower of 'Absolute Justice,' and he is very unlikely to spare the life of any pirate. In real life, Akainu would be nothing short of a hero, but in One Piece he's a big villain. After the death of Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates were running away as it was the final wish of their captain. However, Akainu had other plans. He chased after the pirates and kept on attacking them. There were a lot of casualties and Akainu was keen to add more to the list.
Akainu seemed unbeatable at times and currently, he is one of the most powerful characters in the series, but when he was up against Whitebeard he was getting washed.
When Whitebeard was enraged, he completely destroyed Akainu and immediately made him regret killing Ace. Akainu tried to put up a fight, but it was all in vain. Whitebeard's power was just too much.
After Akainu realized that he couldn't beat Whitebeard, he just hid underground until Whitebeard was killed. There is nothing worse for a father than to be betrayed by his own son. Squard was one of the allies of the Whitebeard Pirates. He deeply respected Whitebeard, but Akainu manipulated him at Marineford. Akainu might be strong, but all Big Mom has to do is pull out his entire soul, because doing so would kill him instantly.
Kaido probably possesses enough strength to beat Akainu without transforming, but if he does use his dragon form, Akainu won't even scratch him. When Kaido transforms into his dragon form, he gains even more inhuman durability because of his scales. He also gains the ability to use elemental attacks that are powerful enough to change entire landscapes. Kaido is immune to heat-based attacks, so Akainu's magma would more or less be useless sludge in Kaido's eyes.
Shiryu is another one of One Piece's master swordsmen, and under normal circumstances, a swordsman without any visible Armament Haki would be at a disadvantage when fighting a Logia user. Shiryu now possesses the Clear-Clear Fruit, which allows him to turn himself and anything he touches invisible.
Someone with the Clear-Clear Fruit can just go invisible and attack Akainu whenever his guard is down, and if the user has Haki, they will be able to harm Akainu even if he transforms his body into magma. Caesar Clown may not be a powerful villain, but he is a Logia user with a power that can take down almost anyone.
Thanks to the Gas-Gas Fruit, Caesar can create, manipulate, and transform into gas at will, and this gas happens to be very poisonous. If Akainu turns his entire body into magma, the poisonous gas won't be able to enter his lungs, but doing so will still leave him open. Magma is made up of several dissolved gases, so the user of the Gas-Gas Fruit can simply remove the gasses that make up magma.
Furthermore, Akainu did the only thing that no one else could do in the entire series: completely break Luffy's spirit. Akainu always refers to Luffy as "Dragon's son", viewing him as a global-scale threat solely based on heritage, and that Luffy must be eliminated at all costs.
After Luffy defeated Doflamingo, Sakazuki was shocked and angry over the incident and during a heated argument with Fujitora, Sakazuki demanded him to arrest Luffy. Akainu considers Jinbe a traitor after his resignation from the Warlords of the Sea and for cooperating with Luffy. Although he was more interested in taking Luffy's life, he showed absolutely no mercy to Jinbe on the battlefield and attempted to kill him numerous times while Jinbe was protecting Luffy.
Jinbe is aware of how dangerous Akainu is, and wasted no time in warning the Straw Hats about how ruthless the Marines have become under his command. After learning of Jewelry Bonney 's whereabouts, Akainu said that the World Government had been worried due to her disappearance, and Bonney replied that she hates the World Government and the Marines. After learning that Law formed an alliance with Luffy, Sakazuki was deeply concerned with Law's actions and sent Fujitora to Dressrosa to capture both him and Luffy.
After his heated argument with Fujitora, Sakazuki ordered him to arrest Luffy and Law. Shanks intervened on Sakazuki's attempt to kill Koby, while Sakazuki was shocked to see him at Marineford. Aware of Shanks' threat, Sakazuki made no attempt to attack him though the latter earned Akainu's fury because his arrival had allowed Luffy to escape his grasp. Two years ago, when Blackbeard arrived at Marineford and stole Whitebeard's Devil Fruit power, Akainu heard his speech but ignored him to pursue and attempt to kill Luffy which ended in failure.
After the war at Marineford, Akainu was sent to deal with Blackbeard , but Blackbeard and his crew got away, due to knowing his threat. As fleet admiral , Sakazuki has total operational command of the Marines , with at present a mere six direct superiors to answer to: the World Government 's Five Elders and Commander-in-Chief.
Combat-wise, Sakazuki as an admiral now fleet admiral is among the world's strongest figures, having been thought with his fellow admirals to constitute the World Government's "Greatest Military Force" i. Sakazuki's background, specifically as a black-hearted extremist, affords him a particularly fearsome repute even by admiral standards, as seen chiefly following the Summit War when Blackbeard , upon learning of Sakazuki's presence aboard a Marine ship meant for negotiations, immediately fled off the island he dwelt on with his crew , noting their unreadiness to face the admiral despite Blackbeard, at that point, having come to wield two of the strongest Devil Fruit powers in existence and bolstered his crew with five of Impel Down 's most dangerous and powerful ex-prisoners.
During the Summit War, Sakazuki's fighting prowess was well-established against Whitebeard , an Emperor and the world's strongest man, whom the admiral matched up to in a head-to-head confrontation. Further in the war, Sakazuki proved himself firmly superior to Ace one of Whitebeard's strongest division commanders despite his age , effortlessly overpowering the young pirate in a clash when, beforehand, Ace had managed to fend off Kuzan more or less soundly though in fairness, Sakazuki enjoyed the inherent superiority of his own ability over Ace's , unlike the other admiral.
It took another Emperor, Shanks , to appear and personally stop Sakazuki for him to desist from his pursuit. Sakazuki would later find his equal in then-fellow admiral Kuzan, their one-on-one duel on Punk Hazard seeing them evenly matched and meeting another blow for blow through most of a ten-day duration; while both men sustained grievous injuries, Sakazuki was the one to ultimately prevail and emerge as the victor, his longtime comrade left entirely at his mercy.
Attesting to Sakazuki's perceived leadership competencies and military acumen, he had many dignitaries of the government strongly push for him to succeed Sengoku as fleet admiral, over the latter's personal nomination of Kuzan. While known, feared, and disdained by some for his hardline, over-the-top methods, Sakazuki's prowess as a leader is undeniable. Indeed, as noted by Jinbe , the Marine HQ under him has supposedly grown far stronger, more determined than ever before despite the resignations of Kuzan, Sengoku, and Garp , thus bearing out Sakazuki's capabilities.
Beside combat, Sakazuki is a shrewd manipulator, using whatever knowledge he holds of enemies to try to deceive them into doing what conforms with his goals. He feigned sympathy to Squard , exploiting his hatred of the late Pirate King to influence him into betraying his loyalty to Whitebeard, [18] and later purposefully insulted Whitebeard's honor to goad Ace into attacking him, successfully doing so as to prevent Ace from escaping, [19] and killing him shortly after by aiming for his younger brother and letting Ace take the blow in the former's stead.
Befitting an admiral, Sakazuki's physical prowess is immense. His raw strength was enough for him to go up against and clash evenly with Whitebeard in close quarters—the "Strongest Man in the World" who, in his old age, could still overpower a giant 's strength easily. Perhaps most impressive, however, are Sakazuki's vast durability and endurance, best illustrated by how not even two successive quake punches from Whitebeard hitting him point-blank one his neck and another his midsection, and both coming imbued with Haki , further increasing damage could keep him down, the second blow strong enough to split the island of Marineford in two as an after-effect in retrospect, a relatively weaker version of the same quake attack had sufficed to incapacitate a vice admiral giant ; [41] Sakazuki retained not only consciousness thereafter but had more than enough strength left to keep on fighting without at any point evincing the slightest exhaustion or impediment by injury with only some bleeding visible on his face.
Mobility-wise, the admiral has shown himself quite fast, propelling himself forward at great speeds. He can easily gain ground on others that are noticeably fast and in flight from him, as seen with Jinbe whom the admiral caught up with swiftly despite the former's head start resulting from the powerful people trying to keep Sakazuki at bay. Otherwise, the admiral has shown acute enough hearing to be able to perceive underwater movements from afar. Sakazuki ate the Magu Magu no Mi, a Logia -type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control, and transform his body into magma.
Sakazuki's primary method of combat is transforming his arms into magma to launch burning punches or clawed thrusts that can easily penetrate human bodies, [56] [43] [57] [46] [41] [47] [48] drastically enlarge his arms to throw forward giant magma fists meant to reach enemies farther away, [54] [39] [58] [47] and even launch multiple magma fists as a barrage of meteor-like projectiles, devastating the battlefield.
Beside the invulnerability of Sakazuki's magma body against all but Haki attacks, its heat has enemies heavily discouraged from coming near and striking him physically, lest they be burned. Even for a Logia, this ability has great potential; when used excessively by Sakazuki for ten days, it warped the very climate of half an island , permanently rendering it a blazing inferno that embroils even the surrounding sea. Sakazuki was seen wielding a dagger as a child [62] and a red-hilted katana during his youth as a Marine.
During the Summit War, Sakazuki was seen using advanced-grade Busoshoku Haki to block and disperse a long-distance quake shockwave sent out by Whitebeard, by generating, with his fellow admirals, an emitted shield combination of their three Haki. Sakazuki possesses the ability to use Kenbunshoku Haki. Sakazuki was born in North Blue. The following events are Non-Canon and therefore not considered part of the Canon story. At the age of 23, Sakazuki joined the Marines alongside a 26 years old Borsalino , and came under the tutelage of instructor Zephyr.
The two were already considered "monsters". He was known as Vice Admiral Sakazuki before his promotion, and was present at the Ohara incident, being one of the five vice admirals leading the Buster Call bombardment. He ordered the destruction of an evacuation ship of civilians and soldiers, claiming it needed to be destroyed in case even a single scholar managed to sneak on board.
At some point after the incident, Sakazuki was promoted to admiral and given the code name, "Akainu". Ace 's execution. Following the gathering at Marineford , Akainu was seen sitting beneath the execution platform of Portgas D. Ace with his fellow Marine admirals. Akainu stepped into the battle when Jozu hurled a massive iceberg, displaying abilities to control volcanic rock by launching a fist made of magma to vaporize the iceberg and sending small burning rocks flying all over the place, destroying one of Whitebeard 's ships.
He was later seen confronting a Marine officer who was fleeing from the battle not wanting to die out of concern for his family. Akainu attacked, and brutally executed the Marine officer for this "cowardice", much to the horror of Koby and Helmeppo who were watching having nearly run into the admiral themselves while doing the same thing.
Akainu then received a report on the Den Den Mushi that the preparations for Sengoku 's plan were set. During the battle, following Sengoku's orders, Akainu talked to Captain Squard , making him believe that Whitebeard had betrayed his allies, trading their lives for Ace's. He demonstrated his words by making Squard notice that the Pacifistas attacked everyone in the bay except Whitebeard's pirates, this being also part of Sengoku's plan.
He told Squard he does not agree with the plan of sparing Ace's and Whitebeard's life, and offered him the chance to save himself and his own crew if he killed Whitebeard. Because of his deep hatred for Gol D. Roger , who killed his first crew, Squard believed him and attacked Whitebeard, [18] by stabbing him in the chest. Whitebeard survived Squard's attack, and forgave his ally and started a massive attack against the Marines, using his Devil Fruit's powers. Akainu, along with Aokiji and Kizaru, managed to stop Whitebeard's seismic waves directed towards the platform on which Ace was chained.
Much later, when Luffy was hurled over the siege wall and landed before the execution platform, Akainu sneered before commenting on how bold the son of Dragon is. After Whitebeard and his crew successfully entered the plaza, Whitebeard began to swing his naginata for another attack when Akainu intervened, and told him that the island would not hold out long if he kept doing that.
Whitebeard then told him he should try and protect it. They then used their Devil Fruit powers and clashed with each other. When Garp joined the battle, Whitebeard told his men that he is just an old man and that they should not be fooled. Akainu retaliated and said that Whitebeard himself was also of the same generation. The two clashed again, causing another rampage in Marineford. Akainu was angry at Whitebeard and shouted at him for destroying the city, and Whitebeard repeated what he said before and told him he should protect it.
Suddenly, Whitebeard grabbed his chest and coughed up a massive amount of blood. Akainu commented on how Whitebeard can not escape the effects of old age and took full advantage by landing a devastating blow on Whitebeard's chest with molten magma.
Luffy unleashed a wave of Haoshoku Haki , which saved Ace from the second execution attempt, while Akainu noticed that Luffy used his power unconsciously. When Ace was finally freed, Akainu assured his men that there was nothing to worry about, since the two pirate brothers were going to be captured again and executed.
He then confronted Luffy and Ace, and provoked Ace into attacking him by disparaging Whitebeard. After Ace's attack backfired, Akainu said that his magma can smother Ace's fire and was thus able to injure Ace despite his Logia intangibility, making him his natural enemy. He went on to state that both Luffy and Ace deserved to be executed due to their parentage and attacked Luffy, but Ace threw himself in the way.
Ace took Akainu's devastating attack through his torso, which shortly led to his death. Akainu then burned Jinbe as the latter attempted to protect Ace from a strike to the head. Marco and Vista attacked him with their haki, and he commented on how much of a nuisance they were. Enraged at the death of Ace, Whitebeard attacked Akainu, striking him from the back with a crippling blow. Akainu got back up and attacked back, burning off a portion of Whitebeard's head.
Whitebeard then gave the admiral another devastating blow, sending him falling into a crater. Akainu, having survived Whitebeard's onslaught, tunneled underground and reappeared in front of Jinbe as he was making his way to the escape ship with Luffy in tow.
Akainu demanded Jinbe to hand over Luffy, but Jinbe refused, stating that he will protect Luffy with his life. Akainu then prepared to attack, but Ivankov appeared and blasted Akainu with a Hell Wink.
Try the opposite of pirate, actually. Sakazuki is the furthest thing from a vagrant, and the terrifying Marine can make the strongest man tremble thanks to his alias. After all, the name Akainu is one that should be feared. Recently, translations of an interview creator Eiichiro Oda did for One Piece made their way online.
A fan by the name Sandman shared the work on Twitter, and fans were interested to see what the artist had to say about Akainu. However, there is no way fans could have expected the fleet admiral's true strength.
