[Discussion] Why Do People Keep Claiming Shanks Can Take Out Akainu?

[Luther]

The only reason akainu agreed to stop the war and not kill sabo is simply that he did not want to fight another yonko and his allys. One on one akainu is evenly matched with shanks and a case an be made that he is stronger. He has arguably the strongest logia devil fruit in the entire series and could easily take out half of the warlords with little to no sweat.

Because he can..

We are talking facts here not hype.

It wasn't even Akainu. Akainu could be seen yelling at the pirates to keep on fighting and to eliminate every last pirate. Sengoku agreed to end the war to keep the Marines' reputation solid. If they kept fighting after accomplishing their objectives, they'd look no better than the pirates.

Not to mention that it was a lose-lose situation. Even if they had they beaten Shanks' crew and killed him, that'd be two Yonko out of the balance of power, something the World Government REALLY wants to maintain. There was nothing to gain from fighting Shanks. Look at what happened when Whitebeard died, territories were attacked when people saw that Whitebeard wouldn't be coming to stop them. More innocent people were harmed. If they had killed Shanks, then any territory he oversaw would be raided by pirates, putting people in danger. Not fighting Shanks was the smart decision.

Are you saying he can easily wipe mihawk? For the fact that we only know that shanks can use swords and spars with mihawk and he can swim too, think about what if what kind of devil fruit he has, that just by appearing with just few forces of his stopped the war. Just think about it fool, if he wasnt that strong af, and marines full power and bb was there..

Killing Shanks then is something the World Government would NOT want.

Lol hahahhahahah bs! That was like the right time to kill three yonkous if possible.

The World Government doesn't want to kill the Yonko. The presence of the Yonko create a balance of power in the world. When Whitebeard died, pirates began to pillage his territories, which were in peace prior. If two Yonkos fall, not only is the balance of power severely disrupted, but that's a whole lot of territory now up for grabs for pirates looking to pillage. Which means a lot of innocent people caught in the crossfire.

When a Marine reported that Shanks and Kaido clashed, Brannew was pissed because of what that would mean for the Balance of Power.

Because hype wise shanks is superior so far, so ppl believe that. Akainu by a margin has inferior hype simple as that.

Akainu got more hype than Shanks' entire crew when Teach ran from Akainu in terror, but mocked Shanks and walked away from his crew calmy in stride.

Lol this again no one in their right mind believes akainu > BB and his crew. And those are two different BB, one is more experienced who ran away where as one was batshit crazy and thought was invincible with his newly gained powers.

I guess shanks> Kaido since Kaido backed off. Dude u have the worst comparisons ever

I guess next time luffy runs away from marines even mid level ones or fodder, luffy is giving them hype. But basically ur resorting to this weak example because he doesn't have anything noteworthy. When shanks and Wb clashed(btw a fresh wb) he the split the sky, he was given constant special treatment by Oda.

Bb also picks his fights smartly he went and attacked the revolutionaries when the time was right, he's not just randomly picking fights hence he left akainu the hell alone. I can go on all day but I'll stop for now

This makes no sense because Teach ran away from Akainu and Shanks both before the timeskip and within days of each other. The fact that Teach ran from Akainu after gaining experience, as you say, that just improves the hype for Akainu even more.

I guess shanks> Kaido since Kaido backed off. Dude u have the worst comparisons ever

We have no idea why Kaido backed off when Shanks confronted him. We can't say Shanks>Kaido based off of that.

However, we know why Teach ran from Akainu and walked away from Shanks: Both times, he said he wasn't ready to fight those guys. We can conclude that Blackbeard<Akainu from that because Blackbeard said so himself.

I guess next time luffy runs away from marines even mid level ones or fodder, luffy is giving them hype.

Once again, this isn't the same thing. Teach said explicitly he wasn't ready to fight Akainu:

He said the same thing about Shanks' entire crew, lamenting that it's not his time to fight Shanks:

We know that when Luffy runs from fodder and Marines, it's because he doesn't have the time to fight them. Once again, two different scenarios.

Bb also picks his fights smartly he went and attacked the revolutionaries when the time was right, he's not just randomly picking fights hence he left akainu the hell alone. I can go on all day but I'll stop for now

It's still the same level of hype.

Dude u keep reaching to no avail. BB is a known opportunist, he went after the revolutionaries when he had the advantage.

What could he have gained from a fight from akainu?

Look at his words "this is not the time yet". The guy is calculating and wants the easiest path no matter what. He bided his time in wb pirates and kept a low profile. He has a history of avoiding conflict over and over again, sure there was lapses in judgement but generally engages to gain something from it.

And he says he's not ready not he's not strong enough. Again tell me how with support he loses.the guy apparently smashed the wb remanents and went after revolutionaries with their best forces there. So akainu is better than those forces please dude you are just wishing this is hype on that level when it's not. It speaks more about BB's personality not akainus strength.

And make up ur mind is he lamenting or making fun of shanks and walking away calmly and mocking him. But anyways ur opinion isn't the issue but it just seemed u switched ur narrative so quickly. But putting away ur spin on things aside lets get to truth, yea he mocked shanks that does not take anything away from him but it shows Bb tends to do that. Hed rather kick u when u are hurt like he did to Wb or run away, he knew shanks wanted peace so shanks wouldn't pursue him if he left and he can act like he is hot shit and get away with it. And he had nothing to gain, if him and shanks fought marines can jump in on it and cause one of them to die etc. there's a ton of scenarios that not favorable to Bb.

The guys philosophy is this when he is revealed.

Because Shanks can...

Not in the context of war, that was ended by Sengoku by the same reason Shanks provided.
But if it stretched out, I doubt that Red-haired pirates would have come out of it unscathed, but Akainu wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of 2 Yonko in a single day...

Did you just compare top figures from the big 3 not stepping forward to oppose Shanks with a group of pirates running away from Akainu? A disparate Akainu who was dying to kill Luffy didn't even dare moving a muscle when Shanks stood in his way, Shanks definitely shined way better than anyone at MF.

Well Shanks intercepting Kaido and reaching Marineford the same day hype is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any Sakazaki hype.
