Gotta say, I absolutely love Marco's fruit power. Akainu's is rather… unimpressive to me though. Not bad, but I guess I expected more :P

Assuming that Akainu is a logia (highly likely), compare him to Magellan for a minute. Both control liquids that are extremely deadly to the touch. Now add the concept that normal attacks can't touch him. Yikes.

@Kairouseki:
What possible character and plot development could happen in the middle of a war? All that's supposed to happen is fighting, fighting, and more fighting. And as said before it's the climax meant to finish the first half of the story. I can't believe people are complaining about epic fighting :getlost: .
I agree with everything
-
Who's the one who suggested the death fruit? A fruit that contradicts the entire base of OP .
Magma's a pretty good fruit, I just think it's a little too similar to fire. I suggested earth, though I guess that's too close to Crocodile's :ermm: . Oda's shown in this chapter with the magma punch that he can make it unique.
Edit: juju agrees with me, oh happy day :happy: .

Dunno see why magma is similar to fire. Magma is more solid and fire not

Well honestly, I thought of Akainu having the power to rain down comets on people. That's why in the first page of this thread, without reading the chapter, merely catching a glimpse of a post someone wrote, I thought I was right. But looking back that ability probably isn't very interesting at all. My reasoning was that when a comet entered the atmosphere it would look bright red and thus fit Akainu's motif.
The only thing that surprised me about Akainu was how old he looked. I expected someone younger like Rob Lucci. Again, looking back he has to be at least around 40. I guess Aokiji has aged better than Akainu.
And honestly I think he has a good chance of being a friend of the SH's. Because of this line from the Onepiece wiki, from Chapter 297, I think:
"W_e have to be thorough! If even one of those scholars made it onto that ship, all of the sacrifices we've made would be for nothing! We must eliminate the very possibility of this "evil" existing!!"_
On a level I think he is saying, that if that ships isn't destroyed and the people on it killed then the other deaths [the sacrifices] would have been for nothing. So I think with some development he'd turn into a good guy. This is why I think he's the weakest out of all the admirals, well, not weakest but the most vulnerable to a personality change.
-
It bugs me that logias are considered the strongest. That's why akainu's power is boring and kind of repetitive. We now know that the strongest or the chosen ones are people able to control high level of Ki. WB is not a logia, but damn.. he's out of this world.

That time Mr.3 can't help :D
I call Akainu vs. Crocodile

He is hardliner of absolute justice, One of the highest priest of that doctrine which makes him one of the worst opponent of the SHs. There is no way he will change his mind. He would sacrifice the lives of 1000s to kill one ohara archeologist. That's how screwed his views are.

I wonder how Oz reproduced…

They explain it to you when you get to middle school.

parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell, and is a component process of apomixis.

well, i think akainu is cool! and his DB is awesome either.
i guess the ability to use and manipolate magma is more complex of anything said up to now. and i'm pretty sure he'll be able of very powerfull attacks…anyhow...
is smoker the guy that appears here? --> (chapter 554, page 12)

no,but he has the same seastone weapon

As we have seen from the Marines there are female giants as well. But who knows maybe they are made from stone or something.

I think that's where his weakness is. His logic is so wrong that it's easily undermined. I hope Akainu's personality gets developed further and there's reason for his views unlike Spandam, it's just biological with him . I'm thinking maybe he has like a Peter Parker back story, that he let a criminal go once because he thought he knew him, and it ended in a loved one getting hurt, so that's why he's so adamant on being consistent. Anyway, I hope we get back stories on at least one or two of the admirals.
-
is akainu even a logia? it's simple to believe he is, but all he's shown 'till now is nothing that a paramecia type of his ability couldn't do either. well, paramecia would make him a lot more impressive to me, when he overshines his admiral colleagues with 'just that'. he sure gave WB contra and his giant ability fist is the most devastating we've seen so far. i'm more than pleased with what he has become and except for Blackbeard and Sengoku (maybe), he should be the only one who can take WB on/down now(speaking among those we've seen so far - not unknown yonkous).
-
That "hammer" that one guy pulled out of his neck was most certainly drum-like, quite possibly a drum. I'd be interested in a bizarre drum devil fruit. But even so, why pull it out of your neck? That'd just be awkward.
Luffy is weaker than everyone we're seeing in the fights right now, but that's okay, because the Docking is about to be surpassed big time. Croc's totally on bottom.
-
Poor failhawk. Doesn't look like he's going to be able to cut diamond since Jozu is to busy looking badass.
-
wonder how long this war will last. i can't see oda showing it in every detail till the end. the only way he can get through it without skipping much is focusing on luffy and his rescue and devote 1 or 2 pages to the war every chapter.
-

I love the way people have started this 'failhawk' thing after one slash.
-
Duno whether this been said , just looking at akainu 's df on 8-9 , it remind me of luffy's giant pistol
could this be early possible sign of "akainu vs luffy" battle
in coming chapters if not in this arc ? -
I wonder how Oz reproduced…
Just after posting that, I wanted to edit it to explain it was more "with who" than technically "how", but then I wanted to check if any of you would be mature enough to catch it.
-
Hmm, just a thought, but … If Akainu would be Paramecia, wouldn't he burn himself with the magma?
-

Yeah just like Magellan poisons himself with his poison right ??
-
I'm not one for the bland bad ass archetype character, but I really enjoyed Akainu's power and attitude this week. Even though his 'Fist of Lava' was negated by Whitebeard, he still had a quip prepared.
Nice.
Looks like Moria's not completely out the picture yet. Good. If Croc is allowed to be important still, Moria should be too.
Who opened the gates of justice? Random predictions ahoy.
-

Is that the same thing? Magellan is immune to poison because of his powers, but you can not be immune to burning if you can just extract magma from your body, can you?
I don't really know, that's why i'm asking for other opinions. I know that Mr. 5 for example takes no damage by his own explosions, but Foxy isn't immune to his own rays. -

He pulls it out of a pocket on his chin. If you look closely, he has multiple pockets on his body. He probably ate some kind of storage devil fruit; a pocket DF. He's a pocket man.

@Fire Fist:

Maybe he'll store monsters in them!
Sorry, just had too.And Red dog is awesome.
-
@Fire Fist:
Yeah, I see the handle now, it is a mallet…
From the pockets on his chin, maybe he ate the Poké Poké (Pocket) no Mi... He's a Poké Man.
... Okay, okay, don't hit me.
Just thought that this needed to be mentioned after that last post.

logias were cool the first couple of times, but its kinda meh right now for me. would have been cooler to see something more inventive - blood, roses, even freakin ketchup… just not another uber logia that is identical to a bunch of other fruits we've already seen.
Whitebeard is mostly fucked however strong he is as he has too few people. Even if his division leaders are equal to the admirals they are too few and that is without the Shichibukai. If it hadn't been for Blackbeard's betrayal Whitebeard would have three more admiral level fighters - Ace, Blackbeard and the guy he killed. Loosing those three cuts Whitebeard's strength almost in half and there is no chance he can win. Only way he can survive is if he is helped by a Yonkou (unlikely as we were told that Shanks is fighting the other Yonkou) or Dragon (I like that one as Dragon should feature in such a momentous event, but is strikes me he advances his goals through politics rather than brute fights). Luffy's group is tough but not enough even if they all go for Whitebeard.
-

probably whitebeard, or one of his crew, or one of those new world captains. hell, after seeing that phoenix DF, it wouldnt surprised me if the gates were in fact pushed to open

It's not identical to any other fruit, not even the Mera Mera no Mi. Just because they are both hot doesn't make them the same thing. That's like saying the Bara Bara no Mi and the Supa Supa no Mi are the same. -.-"
That "hammer" that one guy pulled out of his neck was most certainly drum-like, quite possibly a drum. I'd be interested in a bizarre drum devil fruit. But even so, why pull it out of your neck? That'd just be awkward.
My guess is that if he does indeed possess a Devil Fruit power, it's the pockets, not the hammer. Pocket Pocket no Mi, anyone? xD

It would be a stupid devil fruit if you were injured by your own attacks.
-
ah, lol, wasn't there this filler magma man in the gay brotherhood filler arc? well, he was the greatest of them all and didn't burn himself… now i'm disappointed in Akainu when thinking of fat boss magma!
-

Yeah i know they are immune, too, although Ace is logia and i was talking about paramecia.
And i also think he is logia and after i thought about it … Even if a paramecia could just create magma without changing into it, he would probably be immune to it in the Odaverse.ah, lol, wasn't there this filler magma man in the gay brotherhood filler arc? well, he was the greatest of them all and didn't burn himself… now i'm disappointed in Akainu when thinking of fat boss magma!
His power was to heat his own body, but he could not create magma.

well, i didn't watch that, really, but i remember him diving in magma/lava and he didn't burn himself, right?
-

His power was to heat up his body up to 10,000 degrees. Lava didn't bother him at all.
-
well, i didn't watch that, really, but i remember him diving in magma/lava and he didn't burn himself, right?
Hm, did he do that? Yeah i think i remember something like that … And it did not effect him. The question is, how much was Oda involved with that. Did he only give his okay or more detailed information for the fruit?
-

He created the character. That was the only reason i even saw that filler.

as soon as Oda saw fatsos design, they had the double thumbs up for everything they ever dreamed of .
(…also he doesn't care in the least... is what i think)
@Sir:

interesting if true… stay tuned for more Tales of Interest!!
