D: Luffy’s Haoshoku Haki can take out 50,000 people, but how many people can Nami’s Happiness Punch take out?          P.N. Captain Nobuo

O: Oho–. I see. This is tough showdown, isn’t it. Well let’s see, if we were to talk about these two using their techniques with their own bodies alone, Nami’s Happiness Punch would only work among “visible range”, so it would probably not be able to compete against Luffy’s haki. However, if we are allowed to take the usage of Visual Den Den Mushi into consideration, Luffy’s Haki will not be able to convert into willpower-radio waves, but Nami will be able to attack various locations around the world at once, and thus victory would become Nami’s. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the “Happiness Punch” also deals a great amount damage to one’s wallet as it requires the payment of 100,000 belis per person, and in this way, it can be confirmed that this attack is a great deal nastier than Haki in general.

Sakazuki, commonly known by his alias Akainu, is the current fleet admiral of the Marines, succeeding the previous owner in Sengoku. He is a strident follower of Absolute Justice, to the point where his extremism prompted Aokiji to resign from the Marines.

Akainu’s beliefs led him to go as far as destroying a refugee ship because of the possibility that a scholar could be hiding on board. He takes his extremist attitude as far as to kill anyone who does not share his point of view, as he attempted to execute Coby for his plea to stop the war. Additionally, he has no tolerance for Marines who desert their posts.

As Fleet Admiral, Akainu holds immense pride in the name of the Marines, as when he learned Fujitora let the world know of what transpired in Dressrosa, he was furious. His pride is so great he would rather cover up the ordeal to ensure that the Marines are adamant and credible to his doctrine of Absolute Justice.

Most would say that he is just a bastard. But, there must be a reason for his attitude. One thing that makes me believe this is his picture as a child. His clothes are tattered and he is holding a dagger. The look on his face reminds me of Law when he was trying to kill everyone. And the cap has the word “justice” written on it

Surely there is a reason why a child like that turned into a person like Akainu.

First of all, I’ll assume that his family was killed and because of some circumstances, Akainu didn’t know who killed them. Therefore, he searched around for the one\s responsible to get revenge (the reason he has a dagger). But, since he was just a kid, he got beaten up a lot (the reason he is injured). With no family to return to, he lived on the streets (the reason for the tattered clothes).

Then, one day, he was found by World Government and taken in. There, he was raised either by the World Government or by the Gorosei for a higher purpose. In order to ensure his loyalty, they lied to him and told him that his family was killed by pirates. Furious, Akainu decides to train to become a Marine and thus kill every pirate in the world. That way, the Akainu we now know was born. I believe that the Gorosei only searched for someone who would work blindly for them so they can hide their true intentions behind his back and status as a Marine Admiral.

The reason why I believe this is the following:

On this picture we can see that he is dressed in traditional Japanese clothing even though he pushed it down. Also, he is taking care of a tree and it’s obviously a Japanese setting. He has a sakura tattoo as well. This connects him to one of the Gorosei, the one who always wears a kimono.

Also, in the following picture, he has a katana. The Gorosei above also uses a katana. He may have trained him and shown him how to use one, which would only prove what I wrote above.

This is also just an assumption, but let’s say that Akainu’s family actually was not killed by pirates, but by the CP.

Akainu is shown to be loyal to the World Government as many of the upper echelons nominated him to be Sengoku’s replacement as Fleet Admiral. This could explain his loyalty.

Nonetheless, he expressed disdain when he was informed that the report given to Marine Headquarters about Doflamingo’s resignation from the Shichibukai was fraudulent. He even personally argued with the Gorosei concerning the matter. I was surprised by the fact that he actually argued with them. Normally, you wouldn’t do that to someone superior because you could lose your position. That made me believe that they were actually close (supposedly because they raised him).

He even asked the Gorosei why the whole world had to be misled for Doflamingo’s sake, noting that if an incident like this were to occur again, he as fleet admiral would be disgraced. The Gorosei ignored him, saying that they were not concerned with his reputation as the Marines are only the public face of the World Government. When he was told that the case had been left to the CP, Akainu retorted that even the Gorosei had been walked over by the “Celestial Dragons’ puppets”.

With this conversation, we can only notice that Akainu is also being misled by the Government and has started to ask questions, though not at the same level as Aokiji and Fujitora. He still doesn’t know that the Gorosei are only using him and that everything is a big lie.

I think that Akainu is just a victim of the Gorosei’s schemes and plans. I really feel sorry for him since I believe that he isn’t really a bad person.
