He isn't acknowledging Luffy, more like he is concerned about his allies, basically the only reason Luffy and Buggy became emperor is because they have a large crew. Luffy only considers his own crew to be his crew but it doesnt change the fact he has the Grand Fleet backing him whilst Buggy has the prisoners and two warlords. This is why Law and Kid didn't become a Yonko, they lack a large crew/fleet.
That’s why we call him the "Red Mad Dog", his nickname, always blow as a volcanic erruption 🟥🌋🔥. Never upset him or bring bad news report to a guy like him He even said it’s frustrating to be a Fleet Admiral, he can’t leave his position. He wants to do his own way which you all know what it is "Absolute Justice" He’s totally opposite of Aokiji Kuzan aka "Blue Pheasant" But what I love about him he’s perceptive
Kizaru should be fighting a Looney Tune, as his punishment, I mean what has he been upto for the past two years, He gets paid shit tons of cash, but he practically did nothing, He was probably chilling in his Ship for the past two years.
It's funny how the Cp0 legally can't fight Luffy without permission because he is an emperor but Lucci is like "I didn't vote for him, he is not my emperor"
Lucci is an agenda piece hype man for "kaido and big mom are still alive" theories. in his cp0 cubicle "Kidd, Law, and ESPECIALLY Luffy are all frauds. Kaido and Big mom are still alive underwater and they're going to win the fight. It's not over."
Luffy are too weak without gear 5 form, and he lost too much energy when using gear 4 and 5. Luffy's stamina are so bad, that's not good as he has already crown as an emperor
I agree, even with his complete loyalty to the Navy and his ironclad discipline I genuinely feel like this position doesn't suit him. He doesn't like all the responsibility and he can't control everything which is driving him nuts@@fathizzz2590
Akainu isn't afraid of the Strawhats as a crew. He is afraid of how big a complication it would be to mess up with an Emperor crew. He did say that a simple skirmish can lead to an all out war, and with Luffy's 5600 men Grand Fleet waiting for his call, and the territories under his name, Akainu is smart enough to try to avoid war as much as possible. He might be antagonistic to all pirates, but he has strong belief in justice.
True that, Akainu's not a fool, remember when he tricked Squard into betraying Whitebeard just to weaken and confuse Whitebeard's forces? The man doesn't want to blindly go fight a war, he wants to WIN the war.
He’s 100% afraid of the straw hats as a crew because anyone with a brain would be and he’s one of the smarter characters in the show, he saw Luffy’s potential and understands how much of a threat they are
@@RunD.Ones1s nah definitely not. The man got guts to kill Ace in front of Garp. He went out to fight Whitebeard and his crew during the Marineford War, and you mean to tell me he is more scared of a 19yo pirate than a legendary pirate who was dubbed as the strongest man at that time. As a commander, there are things that you have to consider before starting a fight. Avoiding unnecessary war doesnt tantamount being scared. He was only avoiding the fight since there was no real reason yet to fight the strawhats, unlike Lucci who has personal reason to fight them, and Gorosei, who was merely after Vegapunk's head.

Marine ain't afraid of the war against SHs but the possible backup that might show up. Going up against SHs fleet, RA, Rayleigh, Garp etc isn't gonna be easy compared to WBs fleet.
His defeat at Luffy's hands shook up his entire world view. For most of Lucci's life he believed that things only went a certain way and that destiny predetermined whether you were weak or strong. So for someone like Luffy, a literal nobody in Lucci's eyes to not only defy his expectations but to surpass them was a knock to the nogging he wasn't expecting. Lucci won't be satisfied until he can redeclare that his world view is correct so if he gets a chance to fight Luffy, he's going to. I mean, he gets absolutely fucking bodied but he still put up a decent fight.
Love that Luffy is just a damn looney tune now like he was always kinda goofy but now his powers really reflect it. He hits gear 5 like Popeye hits a can of spinach
To fight Luffy is to fight a few of the strongest superpowers in the world. Rayleigh and the Amazons is nuisance enough. Add in the grand fleet and his old friends like Alabasta and Dressrosa, and the fishmen, you got yourself a full-blown war.
@@2728033 the sun is hotter than lava but i know. i'd like to say that luffy stands a chance, but we're talking about an admiral who fought for ten days and completely changed half of punk hazard. we'll find out soon

@@alwaysturnonaircon I think a point here is that: the original three admirals are probably closer to the Yonko in strength. The newer admirals are probably weaker.
He's afraid of Luffy, just not because of his strength but because of his influence. If the thing about Lucci, a CP-0 member attacked a Yonko crew comes up on the news, it's equal to that the Marine declared war against Yonko Luffy, that will make Dressrosa, Straw Hats Grand fleet, Cavendish Pirate, Amazon Lily, Rayleigh, Bellamy, Fish-man Island, Elbaf, remnant of the Whitebeard Pirate, Zou Island, Zunesha, Wano, Water 7,... their enemy.

This isn't fear from Akainu. He already acknowledged that Luffy was a threat pre timeskip during the war. That "threat" just took down Yonko Kaido one on one and is now protecting Vegapunk.
I'm sure Sakazuki is well aware what a force of nature Kaido is/was, and he's not unwise enough to deny how strong Luffy had to become to overwhelm him. He's the last person who wants to admit that the Navy would be seriously damaged going to war against Luffy, so hearing that from him says something.
Akainu fears luffy?? I dont know about that one, but thats protocol not to engage an emperor without permission idk about that fear luffy part lol akainu would love to leave his desk and get some action
WG and Marines arent afraid to fight any Yonko crew, they surely can win if its just one Yonko crew at once. But it will cost them too much and the risk of their backup or another Yonko crew join the war. Thats why its been stalemate for years
Because we have watched the Straw Hats rise to the top from day one, we sometimes are too close to realize that they are what Shanks' group was when we started watching One Piece. They are on the highest level and feared or respected by the whole world.
Emperors of the Sea are among the strongest pirates in the world. In addition to that, they have powerful crews and oftentimes many strong allies. Attacking them on one's own is a deathwish. That's why permission needs to be applied: so Marines could group and attack Emperor wirh full force.
@@Oscarus4250 he's just a stretching dude with a straw hat, which probably means he don't even have resources to buy a proper pirate hat, how dangerous can he possibly be?
@@Oscarus4250ain’t that the truth. The last time the Govt fought an emperor, white beards crew wreck their island. And it was a damned War. Lucci made a mistake of epic proportions
Crazy to see Akinu switch gears on fighting Luffy when he almost killed him at Marineford and was incredibly persistent in trying, but now that he's an Emperor and has Gear 5, he says to not engage with him at all
Akainu : Where's kizaru? Soldier : Already on his way to egghead island Akainu : And where is greenbull? Soldier : Follow kizaru sir Akainu : and where is fujitora? Soldier : stanby as back up plan. Akainu : then who's defending navy base? Soldier : you sir Akainu : that's it. Im going too
Saying Akainu "feared" Luffy is disingenuous. He isn't afraid of Luffy at all. Akainu stood in front of the strongest man in the world and casually stepped on his weapon with his hands in his pockets.
Luffy stomps akainu Wb was a former shell of himself and the weakest yonko at that time Also that attack wasnt even aimed at akainu He just intercepted wb Even kid slammed big mom after grabbing her attack Akainu needed squardo to injure wb who he talked him into to nerf wb Than he gets a heart attack and gets attacked by thousands of marines and kizaru and aokiji and he still two shotted a fresh akainu Luffy would toy with akainu just like with kizaru
@KeinProblem-uv5jh 1) Nope, wanna debate it in discord? 2) WB was literally stated to be the strongest man in the world, Sengoku said, looking at old and sick WB that he can still destroy the world. 3) ...So? 4) No...He didn't.... 5) How did he "2 shot Akainu" if after the second hit, Akainu literally got back up ready to fight? Also, saying WB got jumped is disingenuous cause before getting to the admirals, no one had did any real damage. Akainu also fought rage amped WB and used unnamed attacks to match him. 6) Again, he would not, if you wanna debate it, I literally do debates on my channel.
@@KeinProblem-uv5jhpeople cope so hard about akainu being weak for some reason. The guy is obviously intended to be extremely powerful. There’s a reason we watched him face tank multiple rage fuelled attacks from whitebeard. Oda was trying to display the level of strength we were witnessing.
antennaboy3383 Whitebeard was never confirmed to be the world’s strongest man. The narrator said that because it was his title. Beyond that, whitebeard was likely holding back at marinford, for fear of hurting ace or the rest of his crew. The quake quake fruit is powerfull, but it lacks precision. “Akainu fought whitebeard unharmed” of course he did, akainu doesn’t use weapons. In addition, it should be noted that whitebeards main goal was likely to temporarily incapacitate akainu so that others could escape. He succeeded. Also, It was stated that whitebeard was stabbed and shot hundreds of times at marineford, and had to tank multiple cannon balls. If the majority of that happened after his fight with akainu, that akainu was out of commission for a while. If a majority of that happens before there little fight, then the only way in hell for akainu to be equal to whitebeard is for him to have an utter curb-stomp victory. Old whitebeard>akainu
I think in the fight between admiral akainu and...... akainu was the one that lost. Oda himself said if the guy decided to go after one piece it would have taken him only 1 yr and now when you look at it the guy seems chained. He even compromise his way of justice most of the time
It's funny how not to long ago people were calling him and his crew "rookie pirates". Even tho luffy has been running circles around these big named pirates. Whole Cake Island being a prime example where he defeated two sweet generals, stole a road glyph, smashed a priceless picture, added jimbe to the crew and essentially made a fool of a yonko.
@@HeWhoPwnsNoobs I think I'd seen people say it's shorter, but going from when we saw a full moon we can tell for sure that the difference in time from end of whole cake to end of wano was one moon cycle
I love how Akainu realizes that this isn't the same Mugiwara he tried to kill during the Summit War. I just wonder how those two gonna interact when they see each other again. Luffy does bear a hatred towards him for killing his brother or might forgave him already. Idk. But that 5th Gear, he does look goofy but the murderous intent is even bigger than Kaido's attack.
If anything this hypes me up for Akainu seeing luffy again. Him and blackbeard seem to be the only antagonists not underestimating luffy post timeskip.
Akainu is not afraid of the strawhats , he just doesn’t want a war, I mean if they were to declare a war to luffy, it’s likely that Dragon, Shanks, Rayleigh, Law, Marco, his grand fleet and probably Law will come to luffy’s aid. Also there’s a possibility that Blackbeard and buggy will join as a 3rd party
The fact that Akainu and the Elders were on guard regarding Nika proves they are more dangerous adversaries, as they take any new power seriously, but especially this one.
Ever since Kizaru made his first impression on the straw hats on seabody I’ve dreamt of both Luffy and rocky clashing. A NAVY ADMIRAL AGAINTS GOOFY LUFFY, the thought of it just creams me up and now we’re about to see it in live action 😬😭🙈
Akainu is smart to avoid confrontation with luffy as he currently has control over some of the most powerful countries in the world not to mention his fleet his alliance with what remains of the whitebeard pirates boa hancock the list goes on
This title is all wrong, Akainu doesn’t fear luffy, he fears the paperwork that comes out of an all out war with Luffy and ALL of his friends and crew 😂
I can't wait for Akainu and Luffy to finally see each other again. I wanna see Luffy go Full Berserk on this Dude no laughing no Devil awakening where he turns his body into rubber I want Luffy to rip him to shreds and Make him cry. I want this dude to feel helpless. I'm going to download it and listen to it every night before bed.
Gear 5 truly i peak, have seen parts of this fight multiple times and last G5 fight and ... He really is Joyboy making us/me laugh. Lucci is so serious and Luffy is just laughinf at him. Akainu has the classic "I want to be in the field, but I got too much rank" he's not wrong though with Luffy's Grand Fleet. I just thought of something, maybe this is foresight for allies coming to egghead OMG I was thinking goresei would come to overrule seraphim but allies coming wiuld be just as epic
i dont really think akainu actually scared of luffy status nowadays nor of his fleet, that man has stood up against way more threatening enemy in the past than luffy, i think he just doesn't want to making mistakes as an admiral and cost the marines and government such as "uncalculated loss"..
It’s funny that Greenbull didn’t accept Luffy as emperor. While Akainu fully believed that Luffy is the emperor. And it’s even funnier cuz Greenbull respected and even feared Akainu.
Akainu knows full well that the strength of a yonku contains he gotten beaten up by whitebeard known as world’s strongest man and knows that straw hat is the one who defeated kaido known as worlds strongest creature
It feels so good seeing Luffy's status as an Emperor being acknowledged and feared
😊
Fr he came a long way too
He went from an inconsequential noname to: "this guy beat kaido.. maybe we shouldn't fuck with this guy"
@@jebroni99 "look at this normie with a weird dream" to "I'm NOT fighting this guy"
He isn't acknowledging Luffy, more like he is concerned about his allies, basically the only reason Luffy and Buggy became emperor is because they have a large crew.

Like they did on fujitora, aokijia and ryokugyu
I love how much you can tell Kizaru does *not* want to do this when they flashed to him.
The fact that lucci would risk an international incident too get his get back
His defeat at Luffy's hands shook up his entire world view. For most of Lucci's life he believed that things only went a certain way and that destiny predetermined whether you were weak or strong. So for someone like Luffy, a literal nobody in Lucci's eyes to not only defy his expectations but to surpass them was a knock to the nogging he wasn't expecting. Lucci won't be satisfied until he can redeclare that his world view is correct so if he gets a chance to fight Luffy, he's going to.
I mean, he gets absolutely fucking bodied but he still put up a decent fight.
Love that Luffy is just a damn looney tune now like he was always kinda goofy but now his powers really reflect it. He hits gear 5 like Popeye hits a can of spinach
Akainu doesn't fear luffy only the actions he is bringing.
He is afraid of to clash with the Grand Fleet
@nobodywashere4743 don't see why with his Devil Fruit alone, he should be able to sink maybe half the fleet.
To fight Luffy is to fight a few of the strongest superpowers in the world. Rayleigh and the Amazons is nuisance enough. Add in the grand fleet and his old friends like Alabasta and Dressrosa, and the fishmen, you got yourself a full-blown war.
@@mykellederickpalad7883 Plus there is the possibility of Dragon getting involved as well, since you know Luffy's father and such.
@@nobodywashere4743akainu can easily deploy 100k Marines and crush luffys grand fleet. Its luffy and the strawhats that are the main threat
Getting beaten and then getting in trouble. Tough day for Lucci!
No wonder Sengoku stepped down as Fleet Admiral, putting up with crap like this is a nightmare you can’t wake up from.
Also note that there are 4 emperors
the last time akainu showed fear is when whitebeard nearly killed him. his lava may be strong, but luffy did survive kaido's flames
Anime not manga
Never showed fear in manga
Just anime shitty things
He raped wb in manga
Lava is hotter than flames
@@2728033 the sun is hotter than lava but i know. i'd like to say that luffy stands a chance, but we're talking about an admiral who fought for ten days and completely changed half of punk hazard. we'll find out soon
@@2728033 Only haki can transcend all. You think lava will affect luffy?
at least akainu isnt stupid. they'd at least need 2 admirals there if they wanted to stand a chance. cant wait for the 5 elders to be animated.
2 admirals still won't be enough at all to stand a chance to deal with a yonko. Luffy just turned 2 top tiers into pizza
@@richardadu6799 im pretty sure kizaru was conflicted fighting in egghead thats why he got stopped, and lucci was just a nuisance at most. outclassed. kuzan and garp fought if you recall. admirals are close to emperor strength and luffy is just a new emperor.
@@alwaysturnonaircon I think a point here is that: the original three admirals are probably closer to the Yonko in strength. The newer admirals are probably weaker.
@@alwaysturnonairconwhat has Suzan and garp fight got to do with yonko strength
@@solaris218saying the lava is weaker than Luffy is crazy. The guy who whooped white beard.
How was Akainu afraid? He was just acknowledging Luffy as a threat
He's afraid of Luffy, just not because of his strength but because of his influence. If the thing about Lucci, a CP-0 member attacked a Yonko crew comes up on the news, it's equal to that the Marine declared war against Yonko Luffy, that will make Dressrosa, Straw Hats Grand fleet, Cavendish Pirate, Amazon Lily, Rayleigh, Bellamy, Fish-man Island, Elbaf, remnant of the Whitebeard Pirate, Zou Island, Zunesha, Wano, Water 7,... their enemy.
@@mediumtext8038Brodie u trippin. Akainu ain't afraid of nobody. He might "fear" Luffy's influence as a yonko. But fear Luffy himself? Like 1on1??? Nahhhh Brodie, my goat ain't afraid of no one, and I stand on that shit😤.
Absolute justice fr💪💯
Bros literally iching to get on the battlefield. He's ITCHING to get his hands on the straw hats. Afraid???? Bro came up outta da trenches, HE LIKE DAT FR. He's like a volcano in a bottle. About to erupt🌋🌋. And when he's out, your favorite character just might be in trouble🤷♂️😈 only a matter of time.
@@Namaka420 bro riding Akainu so hard.. imagine. lmao
@@ll_iScuf_ll wdym imagine? There's nothing to imagine, i don't hide my love and appreciation for akainu. I love good villans🤷♂️. I'm a fan of the joker, fan of reverse flash, fan of Madara, eizen, u get the point. I love villans😍. And bros my top 20 list. Like at the end of the day we all d ride to some extend. I bet 1000% you d ride for certain characters in the story.
This isn't fear from Akainu. He already acknowledged that Luffy was a threat pre timeskip during the war. That "threat" just took down Yonko Kaido one on one and is now protecting Vegapunk.
They need the permission of "World Gov" to attack the mugiwara because is an Emperor Crew. Amazing
I'm sure Sakazuki is well aware what a force of nature Kaido is/was, and he's not unwise enough to deny how strong Luffy had to become to overwhelm him.
He's the last person who wants to admit that the Navy would be seriously damaged going to war against Luffy, so hearing that from him says something.
I can understand how notorious Luffy and the Strawhats really are due to how fast Luffy grew compared to other pirates.
Title is misleading.
He isn't afraid of Luffy
He's angered by him
especially Luffy is a Yonko.
Akainu now:
"No matter what dont let him fight STRAW HAT"
Akainu before:
"I will kill you SON OF DRAGON"
That was when Luffy was an upstart rookie, now he’s a Yonko Akainu isn’t stupid
@@RunD.Ones1s huh? So?
@@hopexhope8568 I’m pointing out why he had this change in tone
@@RunD.Ones1s oh okok
And your point is....?
I really wish Luffy will never stop to have fun
But real emperor is Nami, who can only defeat Luffy 😅
Akainu fears luffy?? I dont know about that one, but thats protocol not to engage an emperor without permission idk about that fear luffy part lol akainu would love to leave his desk and get some action
Luffy is the guy who defeated Kaido, the second strongest Yonko when Whitebeard was still alive.
someday akainu will get a heart attack from this stress
Where that part in which Akainu is afraid of Luffy?
Beginning: we are the world government you don’t want to do war with us.
Now: we are the government let’s not start a war with an emperor.
Lucci needs to be dealt with consequences from his own side for this insubordination
People need to stop acting like admirals are too much. We are literally at the level where admirals arent so scary. Because one piece is near the end.
I heard its only at the halfway point....gonna be another 1000 chapters.
He dosent fear luffy the title off the video is over the top
WG and Marines arent afraid to fight any Yonko crew, they surely can win if its just one Yonko crew at once.
But it will cost them too much and the risk of their backup or another Yonko crew join the war. Thats why its been stalemate for years
Because we have watched the Straw Hats rise to the top from day one, we sometimes are too close to realize that they are what Shanks' group was when we started watching One Piece. They are on the highest level and feared or respected by the whole world.
Danm now they need permission to fight luffy 😊
Emperors of the Sea are among the strongest pirates in the world. In addition to that, they have powerful crews and oftentimes many strong allies.
Attacking them on one's own is a deathwish. That's why permission needs to be applied: so Marines could group and attack Emperor wirh full force.
@@Oscarus4250 he's just a stretching dude with a straw hat, which probably means he don't even have resources to buy a proper pirate hat, how dangerous can he possibly be?
@@Oscarus4250ain’t that the truth. The last time the Govt fought an emperor, white beards crew wreck their island. And it was a damned War. Lucci made a mistake of epic proportions
@@San-lh8us I mean , ignoring Luffy having ToonForce....technically speaking , Luffy have a Straw Hat Fleet since Dressrosa.
@@phantasosxgames8488again with this, name a single toon force feat ?
Crazy to see Akinu switch gears on fighting Luffy when he almost killed him at Marineford and was incredibly persistent in trying, but now that he's an Emperor and has Gear 5, he says to not engage with him at all
Why is no one talking about how akainu is an angry dad right now lucci don’t listen I can’t wait to see them on the screen together lmfaoo
Akainu : Where's kizaru?
Soldier : Already on his way to egghead island
Akainu : And where is greenbull?
Soldier : Follow kizaru sir
Akainu : and where is fujitora?
Soldier : stanby as back up plan.
Akainu : then who's defending navy base?
Soldier : you sir
Akainu : that's it. Im going too
Nah, he stayed for kuma
Lol feared my you salty your boy ace is in heaven now
Saying Akainu "feared" Luffy is disingenuous. He isn't afraid of Luffy at all. Akainu stood in front of the strongest man in the world and casually stepped on his weapon with his hands in his pockets.
Luffy stomps akainu
Wb was a former shell of himself and the weakest yonko at that time
Also that attack wasnt even aimed at akainu
He just intercepted wb
Even kid slammed big mom after grabbing her attack
Akainu needed squardo to injure wb who he talked him into to nerf wb
Than he gets a heart attack and gets attacked by thousands of marines and kizaru and aokiji and he still two shotted a fresh akainu
Luffy would toy with akainu just like with kizaru
@KeinProblem-uv5jh
1) Nope, wanna debate it in discord?
2) WB was literally stated to be the strongest man in the world, Sengoku said, looking at old and sick WB that he can still destroy the world.
3) ...So?
4) No...He didn't....
5) How did he "2 shot Akainu" if after the second hit, Akainu literally got back up ready to fight? Also, saying WB got jumped is disingenuous cause before getting to the admirals, no one had did any real damage. Akainu also fought rage amped WB and used unnamed attacks to match him.
6) Again, he would not, if you wanna debate it, I literally do debates on my channel.
@@KeinProblem-uv5jhpeople cope so hard about akainu being weak for some reason. The guy is obviously intended to be extremely powerful. There’s a reason we watched him face tank multiple rage fuelled attacks from whitebeard. Oda was trying to display the level of strength we were witnessing.
@antennaboy3383 bro easily beat akianu for sure ....
Gorosei is more powerful than fleet admiral
antennaboy3383
Whitebeard was never confirmed to be the world’s strongest man. The narrator said that because it was his title. Beyond that, whitebeard was likely holding back at marinford, for fear of hurting ace or the rest of his crew. The quake quake fruit is powerfull, but it lacks precision.
“Akainu fought whitebeard unharmed” of course he did, akainu doesn’t use weapons. In addition, it should be noted that whitebeards main goal was likely to temporarily incapacitate akainu so that others could escape. He succeeded. Also, It was stated that whitebeard was stabbed and shot hundreds of times at marineford, and had to tank multiple cannon balls. If the majority of that happened after his fight with akainu, that akainu was out of commission for a while. If a majority of that happens before there little fight, then the only way in hell for akainu to be equal to whitebeard is for him to have an utter curb-stomp victory. Old whitebeard>akainu
Luffy really came a long way!
1:27 and beyond is: THEY DID WHAT!? I hope they didn't start a fight with an EMPEROR.
Lucci: Let me get my ass beaten by Luufy.
I think in the fight between admiral akainu and...... akainu was the one that lost. Oda himself said if the guy decided to go after one piece it would have taken him only 1 yr and now when you look at it the guy seems chained. He even compromise his way of justice most of the time
Akainu sounds calmer now cause he realized how much paper work Fleet admiral has
He found out why sengoku immediately turned gray after retiring lmao
i wanted to see Akainu's reaction to the news that Kaido and Big mom has been defeated
Akainu:"no matter what dont let him fight straw hat"
Lucci:"..."
It's funny how not to long ago people were calling him and his crew "rookie pirates". Even tho luffy has been running circles around these big named pirates. Whole Cake Island being a prime example where he defeated two sweet generals, stole a road glyph, smashed a priceless picture, added jimbe to the crew and essentially made a fool of a yonko.
Timeline wise, end of Whole Cake and End of Wano were a month apart. Return to Sabaody to where we are in Egghead is a span of 3 months It hink
@nighttimeasbestos5958 lol that's fast, luffy practically doing a pirate king speedrun at this point.
@@HeWhoPwnsNoobs I think I'd seen people say it's shorter, but going from when we saw a full moon we can tell for sure that the difference in time from end of whole cake to end of wano was one moon cycle
The light man is using a boat?
I love how Akainu realizes that this isn't the same Mugiwara he tried to kill during the Summit War.
I just wonder how those two gonna interact when they see each other again. Luffy does bear a hatred towards him for killing his brother or might forgave him already. Idk.
But that 5th Gear, he does look goofy but the murderous intent is even bigger than Kaido's attack.
"No matter what, don't let Lucci fight Straw Hat"
Yeah... About that...
Sakazuki is not scared of Luffy lol
lucci is like "damn what they say, I want a rematch now straw hat" lol
If anything this hypes me up for Akainu seeing luffy again. Him and blackbeard seem to be the only antagonists not underestimating luffy post timeskip.
Remember that guy whose brother you killed? This is him now. Feel old yet?
atleast Lucci have balls of steel to keep on going even tho by half of the fight it os obviously clear Luffy is way out of his leauge.
It’s still a unsanctioned fight
"tell lucci to wait for the navy"
Sir, what part of "we already lost communications" did you not cope onto ?
Akainu is scared of no one.
Akainu gonna make a donout leopard know
Bet it'll taste both good and burnt
Akainu is not afraid of the strawhats , he just doesn’t want a war, I mean if they were to declare a war to luffy, it’s likely that Dragon, Shanks, Rayleigh, Law, Marco, his grand fleet and probably Law will come to luffy’s aid. Also there’s a possibility that Blackbeard and buggy will join as a 3rd party
I can’t wait until luffy sees akainu face to face again his anger will be tremendous.
Akainu is angry not scared
The fact that Akainu and the Elders were on guard regarding Nika proves they are more dangerous adversaries, as they take any new power seriously, but especially this one.
Ever since Kizaru made his first impression on the straw hats on seabody I’ve dreamt of both Luffy and rocky clashing. A NAVY ADMIRAL AGAINTS GOOFY LUFFY, the thought of it just creams me up and now we’re about to see it in live action 😬😭🙈
look at akainu eyes when the vice admiral said kizaru in his way to egghead it says he will be fu*cked up but i hope he do the quest before that 😂😂
Surprised that both Lucci and Akainu both answer to Kong and the Gorosei.
Akainu is smart to avoid confrontation with luffy as he currently has control over some of the most powerful countries in the world not to mention his fleet his alliance with what remains of the whitebeard pirates boa hancock the list goes on
This title is all wrong, Akainu doesn’t fear luffy, he fears the paperwork that comes out of an all out war with Luffy and ALL of his friends and crew 😂
He's also a Fleet Admiral
I can't wait for Akainu and Luffy to finally see each other again. I wanna see Luffy go Full Berserk on this Dude no laughing no Devil awakening where he turns his body into rubber I want Luffy to rip him to shreds and Make him cry. I want this dude to feel helpless. I'm going to download it and listen to it every night before bed.
Simmer down Luffy fanboy
@@friedareiss8919 Not really I just hate him for what he did to Ace
Well it's about time...... Akainu used to call luffy "Dragon's son" acknowledging his father not him.... was tired of luffy being underestimated
Wonder what Akainus thoughts are now
Akainu got the job and now he knows sengokus pain
1:54 Kizaru already looking high AF before his battle with Luffy 😅
Gear 5 truly i peak, have seen parts of this fight multiple times and last G5 fight and ... He really is Joyboy making us/me laugh. Lucci is so serious and Luffy is just laughinf at him.
Akainu has the classic "I want to be in the field, but I got too much rank" he's not wrong though with Luffy's Grand Fleet.
I just thought of something, maybe this is foresight for allies coming to egghead OMG
I was thinking goresei would come to overrule seraphim but allies coming wiuld be just as epic
i dont really think akainu actually scared of luffy status nowadays nor of his fleet, that man has stood up against way more threatening enemy in the past than luffy, i think he just doesn't want to making mistakes as an admiral and cost the marines and government such as "uncalculated loss"..
I feel bad for the desk jockey, he’s stuck in an office while Luffy tears up the world 😂
Akainu should have more screentime his devil fruit is actually OP
It’s funny that Greenbull didn’t accept Luffy as emperor. While Akainu fully believed that Luffy is the emperor. And it’s even funnier cuz Greenbull respected and even feared Akainu.
Akainu: where's kizaru? He's on his way to get his head caved in....
Akainu knows full well that the strength of a yonku contains he gotten beaten up by whitebeard known as world’s strongest man and knows that straw hat is the one who defeated kaido known as worlds strongest creature
Imagine seeing that fight in real time with your own eyes.
