No akainu was at a disadvantage because he was knocked into a hole in the ground, had the ground been there he would been stunned right there instead and WB would have continued to engage akainu instead of going to fight teach, his primary target.This a faulty premise. Akainu was a disadvantage because of a very particular set of circumstances only that happened due to events of the manga. Those events aren't there during a 1 vs 1 match-up, so that disadvantage would also not be present. Meaning, it's not a viable argument.
Otherwise, if someone asked me who would win between Luffy and Caesar, I could link where Caesar got the drop on Luffy and say "Here, Luffy was put in a disadvantage. Luffy loses because in this particular set of circumstances, Caesar could have killed Luffy."
It wasn't caused by Squardo whatsoever. Yes, the fight would have been delayed further, but the premise of Akainu suffering injuries and WB not suffering is also faulty because prior to WB's heart attack, Akainu was slugging it out with him completely evenly. If Akainu would have taken on injuries, WB would have also.
I am not discrediting anything. You're saying that if the fight had continued between Akainu and WB, the second one, Akainu would have lost and WB would have won. This would mean that Akainu is inferior to Teach and his cronies and that the WB commanders and dozens of pirates are also inferior to Teach and his cronies, which is a premise that makes zero sense to me.
that completely evenly would eventually shift in a direction of some sort, even if WB had another heart attack akainu would not have been able to slow him down with his attack. Whitebeard was shown to be able to tank akainu's attacks, the reverse is not true.
Yes akainu would have lost because he was at a huge disadvantage. BB and crew only barely beat WB because they were fresh and weren't stunned. At that very moment BB and crew probably could have taken advantage of akainus situation if they were swapped for WB and beaten him (if akainu was able to be hit by them) because he was stunned and falling into a plot induced hole in the ground. The only reason akainu might win in that situation vs BB is because he is logia, that doesnt apply to WB vs akainu,
