Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece 1085, has once again surprised fans by revealing the strongest marine character in the series. In a recent spoiler, Oda acknowledged that Fleet Admiral Akainu is the strongest Marine in history. The author’s announcement has stirred up interest among fans, prompting them to speculate about the reason behind Oda’s claim.
Before this revelation, Akainu was already famous in the series for his principles of absolute justice, which made him quite severe and fierce. However, despite being a character that many fans love to hate, Oda has expressed his respect for Akainu several times. In 2012, the author announced on Magazine page 34 that Akainu was the strongest Marine in history. Oda reinforced this statement again recently in a record relating to One Piece 1085.
Akainu is a formidable character who possesses immense strength bolstered by his devil fruit ability, Magu Magu no mi, which enables him to generate and manipulate magma. His power is such that he even created two climates when he fought against Aokiji for ten days straight on Punk Hazard, causing significant changes to the island’s environment.
Akainu’s strength is unparalleled, considering that he also overwhelmed Shirohige or Whitebeard during the Battle of Marineford, despite being one of the most powerful pirates. Even Aokiji, who became an Admiral alongside Akainu, fell victim to the latter’s strength and lost his leg during their intense fight.
The disclosure of Akainu being the strongest among all other Marines also implies that other prominent characters like Sengoku, Garp, and Kong, fall short in comparison to Akainu.
In summary, it is safe to say that Akainu’s uncontestable power and strength are the reasons behind Eiichiro Oda’s acknowledgement of Akainu as the strongest Marine in One Piece 1085.
