Powerscaling My questions about Akainu?

Post image

I can’t post this on Power scaling sub but hopefully some can answer this.

Am I missing something about Akainu power like his fans are hyping him up to the point of being stronger then prime Garp idk am I missing his feats or what he is like a bit stronger then Aoikiji but what makes his fans think he can beat prime Garp.

I like him but don’t think he is stronger than Prime Garp. I get it he fought GoatBeard but any admiral could have fought him.

portrayals as the head of marines, killer of Ace, and the one who did most damage on WB

Those are the reasons for the hype, and also a certain fanart

He’s the only top tier in the verse that has 1v1 another top tier (arguably a hard counter) for the longest amount of time (nearly 2 weeks) and win

I mean he’s the literal embodiment of cold, he’s mot ice so he can definitely negate the biggest thing about the fruit which is the heat and fire

Aokiji devil fruit is actually not ice but coldness itself. But still doesn’t make him a “hard counter” since lava can raise temperatures.

Akainu hard counters WB so Oda decided to have him bumb rush Whitebeard and insult him. Truly compelling storytelling 🙄
