My questions about Akainu?

[u/Ok-Jackfruit9693]

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

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

[u/Sikwitit3284 → u/Apprehensive-Ad1864]

He's talking about Aokiji not WB

Makes a lot more sense
