Monster Rookies of the Marines

• Garp, Tsuru and Sengoku inspired many young Marines
• Akainu and Kizaru made a huge impact

Naturally, fans want to know more about these powerful people, and now, Oda is including more of them, there will be more information about them. In the latest Vivre cards, fans not only got to find out about the Marines' Cross Guild bounties, but at the same time, Oda decided to reveal a lot of other exciting information such as the past of these people. .

More specifically, Oda revealed a very interesting bit of information related to Kizaru and Akanu. This is similar to what happened towards the end on Egghead Island. For those who don't remember, Akanu accuses Kizaru of doing something bad to Egghead. However, to Kizaru, this comment was rather offensive. This is especially because Kizaru was forced to kill his best friend, Dr. Vegapunk, and he did so with a heavy heart. Kizaru went so far as to yell at Akanu for this, even calling him a cocky brat. Of course, this surprised many fans, but for those who knew that Akanu and Kizaru had shared a very good relationship in the past, it was no big deal. In fact, Oda revealed in the Vivre cards that the two men joined the Marines together 32 years ago. a piece.

More specifically, Oda also went on to reveal that they had a very high reputation from the start, and this image they quickly carried them through the ranks of the Navy from a very early stage. According to Oda's revelation in the Vivray card, Akanu and Kizaru are called Demon Rookies (性思一期生). This was possible because they were monstrously powerful and, at the same time, more exciting than any other marine who had joined the organization, at least for a while. These monster rookies then went on to become vice admirals, and later, quickly rose to the rank of admiral.

Why Kizaru and Akanu were destined for greatness

Kizaru and Akainu held great power

As is the case with Akanu, fans don't know much about Kizaru's early life a pieceBut, what they do know is that both of these men were incredibly strong and were destined for greatness from the start. It is unknown when they ate their Devil Fruits, or if they already had them when they joined the Navy. It's very likely that fans won't find out until much later in the story. But, at least, they both had power when they were vice admirals.

This is shown in the canon of the story, on separate occasions for both of these people. In Kizaru's case, fans were able to see Fisher Tiger use the power of Pika Pika no Me when he was a Vice Admiral during a flashback. For Akanu, the Ohara incident was a clear indication of the fact that he already possessed his Devil Fruit powers.

If the film Z is to be believed, they were trained by Zephyr. What happened to Zephyr in the movie Z isn't canon, the character himself might be canon. After all, Oda drew and designed Zephyr himself, which might be enough to suggest that this is a character that Oda sees as part of his story. After all, fans know that Garp, Sengoku, and the others, who were seniors and seen as the most powerful in the navy around the time, were the ones training this monster rookie generation, including Kuzan around this point. Over time, they became masters of their abilities and, at the same time, their hockey improved greatly. Both Akainu and Kizaru became powerful admirals of the navy, and fans recognize them as the monsters they are today.

Of course, there is a lot of stuff that readers don't know about these powerful people, but, with time, they will definitely find out more. Thankfully, most of the admirals are going to be central to the plot of the final saga of One Piece, meaning exciting content is on the way for fans. This is especially true in the case of the fleet admiral of the navy, Sakuzuki, who has been absent from the story for a long time, and was saved by Oda all this time.

Are Kizaru and Akainu the strongest marines?

Kizaru and Akainu are among the strongest, but not the strongest

Generally speaking, Akainu and Kizaru are the two most powerful marines of all time. However, one cannot really say that they are completely strong. This is simply based on the fact that there are characters like Sengoku and Garp, who were active during the Pirate King, in particular, are known to be monsters in battle. For example, Garp earned himself the reputation of a Marine of Legends. Of course, that's not to say that Akanu and Kizaru can't reach that level, but, for now, fans don't know that they have the same legendary reputation as Navy's previous generation of favorites. Of course, Akanu's latest reward, which is revealed to be 5 billion berries, certainly raises some interesting questions, and hopefully, Oda will answer them in the final saga itself.
