One Piece: Oda Drops A Major Hint About Akainu's Secret Child

As a long-time fan of One Piece, I must admit that this recent revelation about Hibari and Akainu has left me utterly amazed! The fact that they share the same sea of origin, blood type, and dialect is more than just a coincidence, it’s a connection that screams family ties.

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Final Saga.

Key Takeaways

Akainu could be the only Marine with a child, potentially connecting him to a new SWORD member.
Hibari, hinted to be Akainu’s daughter, shares the Hiroshima dialect and origins with him.
Hibari’s strong connection to Akainu is supported by shared details on Vivre Cards, suggesting relation.

In the popular series “One Piece,” Akainu is a significant and formidable adversary. He plays a crucial role, particularly during the final chapters of the storyline, which has been carefully orchestrated by the author. It’s clear that Akainu has been strategically placed for this part of the plot, and it’s expected that he will propel the story forward in thrilling ways throughout the Final Saga. Given his status as one of the main antagonists, it’s likely that he will cross paths with Luffy, even when Luffy eventually achieves the title of Pirate King.

There’s no doubt that Akainu ranks among the strongest characters globally, a point emphasized in the recent Vivre Cards. Many fans had long suspected this, but it’s only been officially confirmed now. Interestingly, Akainu seems to be the center of attention more often than not. What adds intrigue is the rumor about a secret child of his that has been subtly hinted at in the series. This potential offspring was first suggested during the early stages of the Final Saga, and recent developments seem to suggest it could play a bigger role moving forward. In the latest Vivre Cards release, Oda has dropped another hint about Akainu’s daughter, sparking great enthusiasm among fans who are eagerly waiting to see how this unfolds in the series.

Akainu’s Secret Child Hinted In One Piece

Akainu Might Be The Only Marine With A Child
Akainu’s Daughter Could Be A Part Of SWORD

Fans who are deeply engaged with the storyline of One Piece might find it perplexing as to where and how Oda subtly suggested that Akainu has a child. This confusion is understandable since the hint can be tricky to grasp and often gets lost in translation. Even seasoned readers may have missed it unless they also possess a working knowledge of Japanese. Towards the start of the Egghead Island Arc, Oda introduced a plethora of intriguing characters, and one of them seems to share a possible connection with none other than Fleet Admiral Sakazuki. It would be in line with Akainu’s age for him to have a child, though his responsibilities as an admiral prevent him from raising a potential offspring. As of now, fans are still unaware of any details regarding this matter.

I came to rescue you, Koby-senpai! – Hibari

In the arc known as Egghead Island on One Piece, many new members of SWORD were introduced to viewers. Before the Final Saga, only X Drake and Koby were recognized by fans as part of SWORD. However, in the Final Saga, characters like Prince Grus, Kujaku, and Hibari entered the scene. It’s Hibari who is subtly suggested to be Akainu’s daughter within One Piece. Although this might come as a shock to fans, it’s worth noting that Hibari speaks in a distinctively Japanese dialect from Hiroshima – a dialect that’s seldom used in One Piece. In fact, only two characters in the entire series use the Hiroshima dialect: Akainu and Hibari. This shared use of the same dialect between these two characters suggests a connection, and it seems most logical to assume that Hibari is Akainu’s daughter.

There’s enough here for the concept to be understandable, but there’s more to it. Many characters from One Piece who are fans know as swordsmen have a past in the Marines. Koby and Prince Grus are exceptions, but most others do. For example, Helmeppo’s father was in the Marines, just like X Drake’s dad, Diez Barrels. It’s speculated that Prince Grus might also have ties to the Navy, and Hibari could be Akainu’s daughter. It would be intriguing to see if these theories prove true or not.

Oda Reveals Information On Hibari Of The Marines

Hibari Has More In Common With Akainu Than Just The Dialect

Although the fact that both Hibari and Akainu use the same dialect is strong enough for this idea at the stand, this isn’t all. Oda recently revealed a Vivre Card pack, which went over the members of the SWORD.

Here, he revealed yet another exciting detail that essentially confirms to the fans that Hibari and Sakazuki have a very strong connection. While not every fan will have gotten this detail, it is quite exciting, to say the least. The Vivre Cards usually go over general facts about various characters, such as their name, their blood type, their sea of origin, and the type of Haki they wield, among all else. Here, Oda revealed quite a lot of exciting information about Hibari. For instance, Hibari’s sea of origin was revealed to be the North Blue. Of course, on its own, this isn’t enough to make any sort of a connection, however, when looking at Akainu’s card, it is clearly stated that his sea of origin is also the North Blue, which is very interesting.

I won’t let any pirates escape!! – Akainu

Now, fans might think that this is yet another coincidence, but then one looks at Hibari’s blood type, which is revealed to be F, and, once again, Akainu’s blood type is F as well. So, taking everything into consideration, Akainu and Hibari have the same blood type, and stem from the same sea as well. On top of that, these two characters are the only two individuals in the entirety of One Piece world, which consists of thousands upon thousands of characters, to have a Hiroshima dialect, and when taking all this into consideration, it is essentially a confirmation of the fact that these two are related.

Is Hibari Akainu’s Daughter?

Hibari And Akainu’s Connection Is Very Strong

One Piece: Oda Drops A Major Hint About Akainu's Secret Child

It’s uncertain how they might be connected, but there’s a strong possibility that Hibari is Akainu’s daughter. It’s unusual for fans to imagine a character like Akainu having a child, as none of the Marine Admirals we’ve met appear to have offspring. Characters such as Kuzan and Kizaru seem to be unmarried at this point in time, and there’s no evidence suggesting they ever married or had children. However, hints suggest that Akainu may be a married man. Regarding Hibari and Akainu’s relationship, we don’t know much, but her membership in the SWORD faction of the Marines seems to indicate she shares her father’s desire for justice against pirates.

To sum it up, Hibari is a stark contrast to her possible father, Akainu. Unlike him, Hibari isn’t malicious, instead, she employs non-cruel tactics during combat. Her preferred tool in the narrative we’ve encountered is the GP Gun created by Vegapunk. This weapon disables opponents’ weapons and leaves them severely weakened in battle. Furthermore, Hibari also wields Armament and Observation Haki. She possesses immense power, and her Cross Guild bounty stands at a notable 200 million berries. Fingers crossed, we’ll see more of her in the future, and clarification will be provided on whether she is indeed Akainu’s daughter or not.

You can access the popular manga series “One Piece” through Viz Media. Fans can read it legitimately and without charge on both the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Mark your calendars as the next chapter of One Piece, titled “One Piece 1131,” is scheduled for release on November 11, 2024.
