I would maybe agree with garling if he was in his prime. I think he’s closer to the archetype Garp, Whitebeard, and Sengoku. Remnants of an olden time
Tru, i think he must still be very strong tho because oda is giving him a spotlight, but he might be important for reasons other than pure strength
Part of the mystery with Akainu is that we still haven't seen a Logia awakening and all we have to go off is our general understanding of Paramecia & Zoan awakenings and how Punk Hazard's landscape was after Aokiji/Akainu's battle
Also I need Oda to be on some AoT Season 4/Final season timing (where it ends up taking 3/4 times longer we initially expected)
I think blackbeard is probably atleast slightly stronger than kuzan, and kuzan is comparable to akainu, so im thinking akainu is roughly blackbeard level currently
One thing that always intrigued me bout One piece, in a world filled with pirates, we have never seen anyone “Walk the Plank”. I think Oda might be saving that just how he’s saving the “pirate with an eyepatch”.
Since having a DF means water is your mortal enemy, having a DF eater walk the plank would actually be a death sentence. Just wondering if he’ll ever use it
Elbaph is firing on all cylinders, if it keeps up with the quality it’ll be the best post-ts arc easily. If the series keeps following this upward trend to the end, it’ll reach water 7/marineford levels
Does anyone know what time weebcentral uploads new chapter scans
A few hours after the TCB upload theirs first
We feel like the arc is reaching its conclusion?
I've been banking this whole elbaph arc cause i got busy/depressed and couldn't keep up month to month
But now i'm hungry for it...
i think it's time i start One Piece. i'm finally buying into the hype.
i made this same choice 4 years ago and have never looked back

I’d say we’re halfway with the flashback that’s going on and when it ends it’s going to lead to the conclusion.

aight i'm down, I think i've banked enough.
We're like 50 chapters in here so far right?

Unfortunately I'll kill that in 2-3 days
Should be getting the new chapter by then so you’re on time

You won’t regret it

i think it's time i start One Piece. i'm finally buying into the hype.
best decision i’ve made in a long time was starting the manga last year…the hype is real

ngl, that's a lot of reading. but i get it. i wanted to watch Dragon Ball Z for the first time earlier this year and tried watching Dragon Ball (like the first series with kid Goku) and couldn't get into but reading the manga it was a whole different vibe.
You'll get thru it quicker than watching it thats an upside

I don't read the spoilers either but I saw the first line accidentally
I repeat don't read unless you know what the first page art of the next chapter is
Kozuki Moria is kinda crazy, huh? Puts his Kaido fight into a new light & it also kinda lines him up with Crocodile as another pirate who got beaten by an 'Emperor' then retreated to Paradise, not sure if Kaido was Emperor back then so I just meant a character who was an active Emperor when the story started Luffy/Coby/Alvida). Was he hoping to take back Wano with Hogback's help?
okay, you guys have convinced me to read the manga too
i guess i'll read it on my phone and watch One Pace when i can. usually i have more flexible time on my phone so it probably works out best since i'll read it first then see it play out animated.

Seen someone on reddit predicted his wano ties 6 years ago

did not think Moria stocks would go up but here we are, also apparently the kanji for gecko backwards is kozuki, it was right there all along
