This article contains spoilers from the One Piece series.
When it comes to the hardest tasks in the world a piece, Become a pirate king Definitely at the top. In the history of a piece world, Roger is the only known pirate kingHe got this title by completing the circumnavigation of the whole world and conquering the Grand Line and becoming a person with wealth, fame and power. Before Roger, Joy Boy was probably the only person to be able to pull off this feat.
In today's era, even those who like Yonko have not been able to achieve this feat. According to Oda there is a marine who can find a fragment And become the pirate king in one year. This is not an exaggeration by the author a piece. It just goes to show how powerful the Marines are, especially those at the top. As some fans may have already guessed, sea that can be found a piece Six in a year None other than Akainu. He is the current fleet admiral of the navy and he does amazing work Powers of Magu Magu no Mi.
Oda reveals that Akanu can become the Pirate King in a year
When it comes to the Navy, Oda makes it very clear in his story that they are not to be underestimated. The navy is incredibly powerful and their admirals are strong enough to fight the likes of Yonko. Fleet Admiral, however, is the strongest of them all, and they are truly on Yonko's level. The current fleet of the navy is none other than Admiral AkanuAnd fans are well aware that he can even rival the likes of Luffy.
Luffy worries me the most because he quickly defeats the main villain as long as I trap him before he gets to the enemy. So, when you create a hero in manga, it's not a good idea to make him too strong. For example, if Akanu becomes a hero, he is so strong that one piece will be finished within a year. – Ichiro Oda
Oda himself confirmed Akanu's immense power When he said that if he was a hero, He would find a piece a year. That said, there is context that needs to be attached to this statement. According to Oda, the main character doesn't need to be very strong. When Oda talks about Akanu finding a piece in a year, he means the present Akainu with his Yonko-level powersGoing out to lead a team like the Straw Hats. In that case, most powerful characters will be able to find a fragment in a year.
They are three admirals of the navy. Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu. They are called the military powerhouse of the Marines. – Nico Robin, Long Ring Long Land arc about three naval admirals
Of course, that doesn't take away from Akanu's strength either. to find out a pieceOne needs to be strong enough to fight the four emperors and Akanu is definitely strong enough to fight some of them.
Akainu is a Yonko level monster
Now, this goes without saying Akainu is a Yonko-level monster in one piece. He must be on Luffy's power level, and that alone makes him the most powerful in the sea. It also makes sense considering the fact that he leads one of the most important factions in the entire series, just as Dragon leads the revolutionary army.
Garp could easily become the Pirate King
Another Marine Joe He could easily be the Pirate King if he wanted to be Garp. Fans know this fact Garp is even stronger than Akanu And he has hockey of the highest order. Garp was strong enough to compete with Rocks as wellAnd he stood shoulder to shoulder with Roger. If Garp had been a pirate, he would certainly have had it in him to become the Pirate King and, like Roger, he would have done so quickly.
Listen, Kujan! Those who hesitated lost! – Garp to Kuzan, Egghead Arch
Of all the Marines, Garp, of course, is the strongest of them allAnd Oda especially has a lot of love for him, which is clear to see. Unfortunately, Garp was never interested in becoming a pirate and follows his own sense of justice. As such, only Luffy can truly go after Roger to claim Joy Boy's treasure, and to do so, he must overcome both Akainu and Garp.
