At the time akainus strength was hyped to find one piece in under a year... it's been two years now imagine how strong he is. It's also obvious the world government doesn't give those titles out to there own men. When has anyone ever been called anything besides a rank, or a color and a animal?
And akainu is one of odas favorite characters
Along with killing the pks son, basically killing wb, and being the only person to destroy luffys will 100%
Current akainu is on prime wb and Roger level atm mark my words
That's not what Oda said though. Oda said if he had his MC start with the strength Akainu had/has then the story would end in two years meaning he wants a story about growth not so much monsters. Not literally that Akainu(in story) would be able to find Raftel and claim PK treasure in 2 years.

I'm not talking about just the Marines but all the world referred to WB as WSM, if the majority of the OP population believed Akainu(on his own) was responsible for the death of WB then wouldn't at least someone be referring to him as WSM but instead that's went to Kaido(in a sense, not here to argue creature vs man) it just seems weird to me when his fans try to push this idea that he killed WV when it doesn't appear to be the consensus of the OP world.

I'll agree he's on their level in that he can compete against them and make it interesting but I don't believe he'd have beaten either of them 1 on 1 when they were at their best. WB at his worst was still a good match despite how people like to try and paint it.
