And clearly you didn't think of raspberry, a DF that is clearly more fitting, considering all that we know.
Edit:
1-Rose has no chance.
2-Is Luffy immune to aids?
Don't let the rose theorists hear you say that.

Im pretty sure akainu has something as badass as lava for his power.
strawberries and roses can go fuck themselves
@Geo:
strawberries and roses can go fuck themselves
… how?
… how?
Well, technically, self pollination and the strawberry has already fucked herself.
Also, I didn't know aids turned you to stone. All the more reason to use protection.
Don't let the rose theorists hear you say that.
Yeah don't let that bunch of incompetents get mad at you.

You'd think they'd have a rosier outlook on things!
Two more for the ridiculous boat: Algae and Fungus. He fights Justice with the Power of Red Tide…
Okay... maybe not.
Okay, this is grasping at straws, but a word for justice in Japanese is Kouhei, which can also mean arms (weapons). Perhaps a fruit that lets him generate any type of weapon from his body? Think like Basque Grand from Fullmetal Alchemist, when he had the Philosopher's Stone.
Yeah, I know Wapol did something similar in a flashback, but it still doesn't mean it's not a possibility. How cool would it be to see Akainu get up and have like 50 guns appear on his body?
Akainu have icecream logia, strawberry one. He can freize tsunami, silence crying childrens and feed marines which his body.
A demon zoan fruit? [Demons are red so…]
Can't really think of any logias that would make sense, plus having all 3 of them be logias would be kinda boring.
Maybe he has love logia power! [Cause love is red too…]
Or maybe Hate…...hate is red
Lots of red things.....
Red....
@Fire Fist:
Well, though some would say yay and others nay, I'm one of those that believe that the titles are ranks, and the three current Admirals were not the first with the titles/nicknames. Being that we know one of the Admirals back then (Sengoku), it's possible there were only a total of three Admirals back in Roger's time, as well. Garp, with the hat he wore in his early appearances, his ship, and him being A hero back in his day, was probably one of them as well (the former Akainu). There's gotta be a reason Oda gave Garp a big dog theme early on; it seems kind of strange that he'd just do that for no reason.
Pretty sure Oda did that hat thing to mask Garp's face, as Garp was already shown to be Luffy's grandpa in the One Piece pilot. So Oda used that hat to mask Garp's face to hide Garp's relation to Luffy from those who have read Romance Dawn. Garp has not been seen wearing that hat since the revelation that he is Luffy's grandpa.
Is Luffy immune to aids?
Damn right he is. After all, he is all "rubber". :P
Worth posting here in the freak chance that this turns out to be correct -
In a dream I had the other night, the fruit that Akainu had was the Murder Murder fruit. The only power of this fruit I saw (not that it couldn't do other things) was creating large knives mid-air next to people - then subsequently controlling them from afar to stab.
Somewhat weird and random I know, but that's what was in the dream. Go figure I suppose.

No. No, it wasn't.
If you're gonna go by cheek bones and lips, Bunta is the best choice despite being a bit squashed. If you're gonna go by crow's feet and the lines from nose to edge of lips not to mention size of his head, Minegishi is still a good choice.
However…to make such a violent heavily built-up character Minegishi when the resemblance is clearly there with Bunta, it seems to be no contest.

Murder Murder Fruit? In a shonen manga? Sorry man, no way
@Low-fi:

In any case, the actor Akainu is based on could be a lot of people. Noboru Ando seems a likely candidate, from the rose tattoo he had in one of his movies:
!
Takeshi Kitano is also a possible candidate.
!
Ando looks the part, but I'm just going to go with Bunta because of his speech pattern and looks. Although I've admittedly not see an Ando movie.
As for Akainu's devil fruit, I've given up speculating at this point. Hopefully those giant tidal waves get the admirals off their asses, though.
Uuuuuuuugh, where's my favorite image?
Right, here it is.

Anyway!~
I watched few movies with Mr. Sugawara in and decided that IT MUST BE IT, after all~
I belive he's the main star when it comes to Yakudza Films (tsk tsk~)
Besides, he had main role in theese three films (I'm not sure about if they are related inbetween themselves or not =___= ):
Kyôdai jingi gyakuen no sakazuki (1968)
Soshiki boryoku: kyodai sakazuki (1969)
Gendai yakuza: sakazuki kaeshimasu (1971)
It probably means something… Or not >______>
When talking about rose-tattos, Sugawara had billions of them in different movies so it's out of the quastion >__________>
He and Tanaka had so many movies together too~ I recently spent aroun 100$ on DVDs OTL
(thank God I found a website that sells them with English subs, hooooo~)
Oh there's not even a shadow of a doubt there. It's dead on. Whereas previously for other guesses, certain features matched but others didn't, he's got it all in those pix.
The cheek bones, crows feet, lines from nose to mouth, slightly compact head and even the lips are extremely similar in the more recent pix.
That's him! Great job!
Shame it destroys the Toru coincidence.
@Fire Fist:

cough
Ok, fair point about Death Note. But Oda can't stand killing characters, let alone give a character an ability that's main focus is killing. No, it's out of place and isn't Oda's style.
That's him! Great job!
Shame it destroys the Toru coincidence.
Well I wasn't the one who suggested him in the first place, thought I had "Battles Without Honour and Humanity" on my hardrive for months now but never managed to watch before XD
Could you possibly translate the tittles of the movies with "sakazuki" in? Or at least tell me if they seem related or not? XD; I have no clue and I am not able to find any more info on thouse films >___>
Sugawara is still alive and kicking, thought, while Toru sadly passed away last year, so it's all for the better ^_^
Maaaaaaan, I'd kill somebody to find out if Tanaka and Sugawara aware of Oda using them as models for his Admirals and their thoughts on it~ XD

Kyôdai jingi gyakuen no sakazuki (1968)
Soshiki boryoku: kyodai sakazuki (1969)

Brotherhood code: The other side of the sakazuki cup (sakazuki is a sake cup used for toasting, swearing in stuff, I believe)
Organized crime/violence: Loyalty offering brothers (this is what's used as the official title, but it's a bit of a liberal translation)
Modern Yakuza: Returning the offering cup
Good job Al!na. You remain victorious! Edit: Well, you didn't guess him exactly, but you remained skeptical until you found the perfect match…so yeah, good job!
@Al!naJames:
I recently spent around 100$ on DVDs.
PS: You still creep me out…
The only one I could find is a translation of the third, which is Modern Yakuza 4: Returning the Offering Cup. But Sakazuki is basically a large round dish that Sake is drunk from.
Like so:
!
What Shanks is drinking from, here.

Idk what made anyone think Bunta, as for me, call me a skeptic because I still think Ando. Sugawara is a close match but imo his ears are way too big compared to Akainu's, I mean his look big enough to be something that Oda wouldn't miss when drawing Akainu. His head/face seems a bit long too in comparison to Akainu as well.

I found someone mention Bunta on 2ch and brought it to this board.
The two look really similar too. A lot of the pictures of Ando on google images are actually Bunta (like the one in my avatar.) They both have the same look of intensity and shit but Ando is a little more plain and rounded.
If the resemblance in his more recent pix aren't enough, the movie titles clinch it.
I think that it can be some sort of Explosion Devil Fruit because in Robin's Flashback the ship of people being evacuated was destroy (I mean it could of been the Marine Warships destroying it but wouldn't the order have to go through someone like Spandine since he organized the whole thing). But yeah something like an Explosion Devil Fruit.
Mr Five has that.
Oh yeah i forgot about him. Sorry about that.
I wouldn't worry about it. The only memorable thing he did was shoot explosive snot.
I liked the exploding clothes line too, though.

correct
16 corrects
so with WB at the door and the Admirals ready to make a stand any last minuate guess to as what, if any, DF Akainu posses?
My guess still are on a magma/volcano logia or my personel favorite the flora/nature logia fruit.
Ground .
Dunno if someone actually already said it, but I guess Akainu will use some kinds of sound or shock waves. Also, he may be able to hear the breathing of all things, much like Zoro did when beating Mr. 1 up, but for Sakazuki, that'd be constant.
Doesn't one of the Supernovae use sound? The one with 2 elbows. And Whitebeard uses shockwaves, or at least quakes which seem kind of similar.
I guess Apoo is more like a moving music box rs
@Kairouseki:

Well, Apoo, the guy with 4 elbows, does use music.
Yeah, meant 2 elbows on each arm . Couldn't remember his name, though.
Fuckin' spoilers in this thread!
I really want to see Akainu actually do something! All he's done so far is sit around, but I guess he's too cool to do anything himself .
