As a bystander, I can’t help but acknowledge the formidable strength of Fleet Admiral Akainu in the captivating world of One Piece. In the pre-timeskip narrative, his power was vividly displayed during his confrontation with none other than the Whitebeard Pirates at Marineford.

In his battle against Kuzan, he managed to persevere through ten consecutive days of combat and emerge victorious.

Everything mentioned here was achieved by Akainu prior to or during the time jump. His strength now surpasses any he’s ever had before, given his position as Fleet Admiral. This is well-known among fans, and it’s important to note that a five Crown Bounty has been placed on his head, which means he’s highly sought after by the Cross Guild.

To further clarify this, Oda has also used different methods to illustrate the comparison between Akainu and Kaido.
