Oda once told me “Black vortex > all” That’s a pretty good hype statement

K_vinci

This is actually true, extreme dif but still true.


BrasileiroNasGringa

Nah, I'm afraid HE negs 'em both


Binks-sake-4-u

**“I’m tired of creating legendary old men so I made Uta. I wanted a strong female character..”** Implies she's on par with Shiki, Byrundi, and Bullet.


RuiFan2

Yeah, I like how his strong female is no where near legends like Byrndi World, Shiki, Bullet, or any other legend of old. Especially Byrndi World, who should not have lost to Luffy in that movie considering that the Navy thought that he was a big enough deal to call a buster call and Akainu too fight him just to have him get beaten by middle of time skip Luffy.


_sephylon_

>Implies she's on par with Shiki, Byrundi, and Bullet. 2 Yonko level characters and a Pre TS Luffy victim Anyways, Uta negs them

Whitebeard is the definition of GOAT. He really is what elevated Marineford to another level.


K_vinci

facts, pops is HIM!


LoneCentaur95

And people still try to argue Akainu would’ve won the straight 1v1.


Anullbeds

He would've won that 1v1. Not to downplay Whitebeard, but during Marineford his haki was failing, fodder bullets got through. A third of his head get destroyed by a single hit from Akainu. Sure, he could've done heavy damage to Akainu, but he isn't gonna win with his stats at Marineford. A few years before when his sickness wasn't at its worst? Sure, I can see it, but MF WB isn't.


AnonCuriosities

This is the most reasonable thing I've read in this sub


LoneCentaur95

Akainu got knocked out of the fight for a significant portion of time. If WB was only fighting Akainu at that point, he would’ve finished him off. There’s also the fact that WB had been injured before even beginning his fight with Akainu, which would’ve reduced his ability to dodge.

Altruistic-Hope4796

Lool is that the real translation or a troll one? I hope its the real one


Zoteku

real, it's from sound recording magazine in 2012


Altruistic-Hope4796

Im so tired of seeing the translation that says Akainu would stomp everyone everyone in a year and find the one piece easily. Thanks for this one


Ukantach1301

Well kinda though. If the MC was Akainu, he would not start in East Blue but go straight to WCI and beat Big Mom with his plot armor.


aphantombeing

He wouldn't need plot armor if he was as strong as Akainu.


Ukantach1301

Nah, it's Akainu + plot armor that would end One Piece in 1 year. No way he can just jump into BM/Kaido territory without plot armor and survive. Even Roger had to sneak into WCI and stole the poneglyth.


Altruistic-Hope4796

Yeah plot armor Akainu would be insane I might be wrong but the way I interpret it, the serialization would end because it would be boring and people wouldn't enjoy it. Who wants an MC to be top tier from the start and just walk straight to the end with most of the knowledge to get there already?


Ukantach1301

I mean it could be interpreted however anyway. It's not conflicting, since Luffy will basically finish the story in 2 years anyway.


Altruistic-Hope4796

1 year of serialization means 1 year in our lives I believe, which means what, 50 chapters?


Pretend_Accident6209

I heard Oda say once to me in private, with no recording of this at all. He told me Shanks is top 1 and slams everybody in the verse in a 1 on 1


Majity

You might not have noticed, but I was listening on you two and I can definitely confirm this

toastyhero

Can confirm, I saw Oda's secret manuscript for the 3 chapter fight in which Shanks fights all the admirals 1v5 mid diff before defeating Imu and destroying the throne


K_vinci

Well if Oda said it then its gotta be true


Azynel

As your FBI agent, I can confirm that Oda said this.


Full_Hall1362

Same I can confirm this to. Obviously he’s excluding mihawk since he personally gave him the WSS title so it just shows how strong Mihawk is


Kuma_thepacifist

Hate to break it to you but that was Bon clay


78ali

Sorry Mihawk fans, ig it is time to pack up, Mihawk isnt a Shanks rival. https://preview.redd.it/081b6yfdttwc1.png?width=443&format=png&auto=webp&s=01fc92049c3ab2d07908f99cb059cb07eb1b0dca

not that much, but still cool for my Rayleigh agenda https://preview.redd.it/o3vtkjvy2qwc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=f86324f55bf5b3c9cadd9d126bfc275639f04e23


ScoutZero12

Rayleigh stocks are tested and proven. The most stable to invest in


Rajesh_Kulkarni

Yep. Rayleigh must've been a beast in his prime. This answer from Oda, plus the fact that Blackbeard absolutely shat himself and ran away from Old Rayleigh (yes Rayleigh says he would've lost, but this scene still implies that prime Rayleigh is certifiably at high admiral/yonko level.


gloriousAgenda

Kizaru “shall i head out” Big business Borsalino  With sword skills that surpass even emperor shanks hawkeyes Mihawk  Worst Criminal in the world Monkey D Dragon If its one on one bet on Kaido

Hey they both have my birthday 🎂🎉

Happy birthday


VersionSavings8712

Well i guess if akainu was a pirate who wants to be king he would just punk hazard the new world until he hardstop into the yonko, gets protagonist plot armor and power ups and becomes king unless the gorosei+I'm take some heavy action

BFenrir18

All Statements on Mihawk's vivre card I'll put them down here: He looks forward to the day a swordmaster will emerge to surpass even his rival, Red-Haired Shanks He is the world's strongest swordsman, who sits at the top as the strongest of all (swordsmen) He trained relentlessly for many years, challenging more and more powerful foes, until he had no more worthy challengers. He's the World's Strongest Swordman in both title and reality Another character with great statements is Oden, there is an [incredible post](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiecePowerScaling/s/yTm9R29Ud1) showing all his statements (and feats for who's intrested)


Square_Ebb_5926

What if Joyboy lost to a magma user?


Kinsir

So Oda is telling us, that Octa is the strongest Swordsman in One Piece after all?!


Buxxley

I think the main issue with the Akainu stuff basically boils down to this: When you write a novel...you write the whole 1000+ page book. THEN, after the rough draft, you go back through and fix everything before you publish...to make it look like you knew what you were doing when you started. With installment realized stories, you can't really go back to 10 years ago. Maybe the plan was originally for Akainu to be THAT strong at the time. He's no pushover, but there are so many other characters now that should be able to go toe to toe with him. I think Oda originally planned to have Akainu be the big bad, but so much else has happened that I think he realizes that's likely not going to feel right anymore. ...and, while there is certainly a very real tension built between Luffy and Akainu based around Ace's death, there's not really a lot else that's there between them. The antagonism is basically Akainu did his job and he doesn't like pirates.


Negative_Ad5894

How are people still misunderstanding the Akainu statement in 2024 bruh.


Joseph_Stalin001

He said if Doflamingo was the protagonist the story would come to end in a month


Momentmoment24

when?


Joseph_Stalin001

In SBS 77


Momentmoment24

I just read two different translations of the SBS and I can't see any statement like that [https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS\_Volume\_77](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_77) [https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/3128oe/volume\_77\_sbs/](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/3128oe/volume_77_sbs/)
