Oda drops a major clue about Akanu's secret child

This article contains spoilers from the final saga of One Piece.

Key takeaways

• Akanu may be the only Marine with a child, potentially linking her to a new SWORD member.
• Hibari, hinted to be Akanu's daughter, shares the Hiroshima dialect and origins with her.
• Hibari's strong connection with Akainu is supported by shared details on Vivre cards, suggesting a relationship.

Akainu is one of the biggest antagonists a piece And definitely a very important character, especially in the final saga of the story. Oda has been saving Akanu for this particular section of the plot, and it goes without saying that he will advance the story in many exciting ways in the final saga, as he is one of the main antagonists who will inevitably stand up. Luffy's path, as he goes on to become the Pirate King.

He is easily one of the strongest in the world, as recently confirmed in Vivre cards, and of course, many fans already assumed that. When it comes to Akainu, usually, all the focus is around him. However, Akanu may also have a secret child that fans know very little about. This child was first hinted at at the beginning of the last saga, and now, the possibility that this child will become more prominent in the series is real. In the latest set of Vivre cards, Oda has hinted at Akanu's daughter once again, and fans are incredibly excited to see if this turns out to be real.

Akanu's secret child is hinted at in one piece

• Akanu may be the only marine with a child
• Akainu's daughter may be a part of the sword

Avid readers or viewers a piece It might be confusing as to where exactly Oda implied that Akanu has a child too. This is natural, as this sign is difficult to translate and is often lost in translation. Even sharp readers may not get the hint until they understand Japanese. Around the beginning of the Egghead Island arc, Oda introduced several interesting characters and one of them seems to have a possible link to none other than Fleet Admiral Sakazuki. It also makes sense for Akanu to have a baby, given that he is so old. Naturally, Akanu's duties prevent him from taking care of his potential child, but fans don't know much about that, at least not yet.

Going back to Akanu's Secret Child, One Piece's Egghead Island Arc introduced fans to several new SWORD members. Before the Final Saga, the only two fans running on SWORD were X Drake and Kobe. However, in the final saga, fans are introduced to Prince Grouse, Kuzaku, and Hibari. It is none other than Hibari who is hinted to be Akanu's own daughter in One Piece. Which may surprise fans, but the fact is that Hibari speaks Japanese in a very strange way. Hibari appears to speak in Hiroshima dialect, which is very rare in a piece. In fact, there's only one other character in all of One Piece who uses the Hiroshima dialect, and that's none other than Akanu. Obviously, the fact that only these two people in the piece use the Hiroshima dialect means that there is a connection between them, and when one thinks about it, the easiest connection to make here is that Hibari is Akanu's daughter.

This idea has enough basis to make sense. However, that is not all. Most members of Swords that fans have seen so far have a relationship with an ex-Marine, Kobe and Prince Grouse being the exceptions. For example, Helmeppo's own father was in the Marines. Likewise, X Drake's father, Dizz Barrels, was also in the Marines. Kuzaku's grandmother is none other than Tsuru, leading many fans to believe that Prince Grouse also has ties to the navy, and that Hibari is not Akanu's daughter. It will be interesting to see if this idea turns out to be true.

Oda reveals the information to Hibari of the Marines

Hibari has more in common with Akanu than in speech

Although the fact that both Hibari and Akainu use the same dialect is strong enough for this idea to stand, that's not all. Oda recently revealed a Vivre card pack, which went to members of SWORD.

Here, he revealed yet another exciting detail that essentially confirms to fans that Hibari and Sakazuki have a very strong relationship. While not every fan has gotten this detail, it's pretty exciting, to say the least. Vivre cards usually go over general facts about the various characters, such as their name, their blood type, their sea of ​​origin, and the type of Haki they use, among others. Here, Oda revealed a lot of exciting information about Hibari. For example, the sea of ​​Hibari's origin was revealed to be the Northern Blue. Of course, on its own, this isn't enough to make any kind of connection, however, looking at Akanu's card, it clearly states that her sea of ​​origin is also the Northern Blue, which is very interesting.

Now, fans may think this is yet another coincidence, but then one looks at Hibari's blood type, which is F, and, once again, Akainu's blood type is F as well. So, all things considered, Akanu and Hibari have the same blood type, and originated from the same ocean. On top of that, these two characters are just two people altogether a piece The world, which has thousands of letters, has the Hiroshima dialect, and taking all this into account, it is essentially a confirmation of the fact that these two are related.

Is Hibari Akainu's daughter?

Hibari and Akainu's connection is very strong

As to how they will be related, no one can say for sure, but the most likely outcome is that Hibari is Akanu's own daughter. Naturally, fans don't usually expect a character like Akanu to have a baby. After all, none of the sea admirals that were introduced to fans seem to have children. Kuzan seems single and single at the moment, and the same can be said for Kizaru. There is no indication that the two ever married or had children. Akanu has major signs for her child, which indicates that he is a married man. When it comes to her relationship with Hibari, fans don't know much, but the fact that she is in the SWORD faction of Marines implies that she follows her father and wants to escape the Justice Pirates.

That said, Hibari is the exact opposite of his potential father. Unlike Akainu, Hibari is not cruel. In fact, he doesn't even use brutal methods when fighting. His weapon of choice, as seen in the story so far, is the Vegapunks GP Gun. Using this weapon, he could neutralize his opponents' armaments and essentially cripple them in battle. That's not all, Hibari can also use Armament and Observation Haki. She is incredibly strong, and her cross guild bounty is set at an impressive 200 million berries. Hopefully, fans will get to see more of her in the future, and it will be confirmed whether or not she is indeed Akane's daughter.

A piece is available to read through Viz Media. Series fans can read the series officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1131 is set for November 11, 2024.
