[Discussion] why not sanji?

[Punk Hazard]

Their attacks aren't same as Fujitora is stronger than Joker and the thing is Zoro managed to overcome Fujitora' s gravity even though it was a surprise attack where as Sanji failed to counter Joker.

Law wasn't badly injured, you can clearly see that he was perfectly fine when he escaped from his gravity and it was nothing when compared to what he went through against Vergo and Joker.






It doesn't matter, my point still stands as Luffy countered him without any intel before facing him. He did fairly better than Sanji.



No, the caption box just suggests that he was surprised but it doesn't indicate that it was the starting point unless you think Akainu wasn't paying attention to Marco's voice which doesn't make much sense. As I said before, If Jimbe's reactions are good enough to hear them and get away from his location before Marco and Vista can reach him then it wasn't much of a deal for Akainu to notice them before they can hit him and use haki.

No, that's exactly what it indicates. The caption is placed when something happens, not three years later. Why would Akainu pay attention to Marco's voice in particular when:
1. The place is filled with shouting and gunfire and other loud noises
2. "Get down" could simply be a concerned person yelling for Jinbei to Dodge.

It wasn't 3 years later though, all of that happened in a few secs.

Your ability to purposefully miss the point in order to take the argument away from a rough spot for you is truly unparalleled.

I didn't miss the point, that caption was there to indicate that he was surprised not to indicate that he started to get surprised when they hit him. I can see where you are getting at but the thing is it makes 0 sense to think that he didn't saw through their attack until they actually hit him.

No, you did miss the point. Caption boxes are placed to indicate something that isn't inherently visible to the reader because of the medium manga is presented in, including speech, thought and surprise. For Oda to have Akainu be surprised in the previous page, but only indicate so in the next page would be for Oda to have Luffy clearly speaking on one page, and placing the dialogue he's meant to be saying then two pages later. The indicator that Akainu was surprised did not appear until the attack hit him, so he was not surprised on the previous page. No if, ands, or buts about it, I'm afraid. It may make zero sense to you, but at that point, you oughta go take that up with Oda. I didn't draw the panels, I'm not the one who only placed the surprise caption there, Oda did.

He was talking with Jimbe in the first panel he has a lot of time b/w those two panels to notice them and get surprised. I have already told you that I understand your point but it's just stupid to think Akainu only realized that he was being targeted after getting attacked when even someone like Jimbe who was facing opposite direction managed to hear them and got away.

Akainu was still surprised. So it is not same as placing dialogue in a different panel.

Too bad that isn't what happened.
