【ONEPIECE Theory】I predict a bounty for Fleet Admiral Sakazuki(Akainu).

Hey guys!

This time I'm going to predict the bounty on Fleet Admiral Sakazuki(Akainu)!!

Let's do a quick review of who he is.

He is a soldier belonging to the headquarters of the Marine, one of the three major forces that are said to control the balance of the world.

His rank at the time of his first appearance in the series was “Admiral.

Known by the nickname “Akainu” along with “Aokiji” Kuzan and “Kizaru” Borsalino, he was considered one of the “Three Admirals,” the highest military force at the time.

He was also known as the “Three Admirals,” the best in the military at the time, along with “Aokiji” Kuzan and “Kizaru” Borsalino.

He is a hard-nosed man who upholds a strict belief in “thorough justice.”

He does not tolerate even the slightest “evil” and acts under the harsh philosophy of thoroughly eliminating any concerns he may have.

He is a hard-nosed man who does not tolerate the slightest “evil,” and if there is any concern, he will thoroughly eliminate it.

He is the exact opposite of Kuzan, who has a flexible “lazy justice” philosophy, even though they are both peace-oriented marines.

After the Marine Ford Summit War, when then Fleet Admiral Sengoku retired from his post, the Marine was divided into the Akainu(Sakazuki) faction and the Aokiji(Kuzan) faction, which eventually led to a one-on-one duel between the two factions.

As a result, Sakazaki wins the battle and is appointed “Fleet Admiral,” the highest rank in the Marine.

Kuzan, who refused to serve under Sakazuki, was discharged from the Marine.

After assuming the post, he proceeded with a large-scale personnel change called the “World Conscription” to reinforce the entire Marine, whose strength and command had been severely reduced due to the exhaustion from the previous war and the retirement of Sengoku, Garp, Kuzan, and others.

Aramaki, and many other new talents have been brought into the army.

For the main character Monkey D. Luffy and his brother-in-law Sabo, he is also the one who directly sent his other brother-in-law Portgas D. Ace to his death, and his strong and unique character has made an impact on many readers.

One's face and figure

He is over 3 meters tall and has a sturdy physique.

He has a stern appearance with numerous wrinkles on his face, especially between his eyebrows, and his head is cropped at the corners.

He has tattoos on various parts of his body, and in the door illustration, the left half of his body (from his chest to his forearm) has a design that looks like a mixture of cherry blossoms and fire patterns, while his right shoulder has a silhouette of a sword that represents “justice”.

He usually wears a marine cap, a luxurious red suit, a flashy patterned shirt, leather gloves, a marine coat on his back, and a pink flower (rose?) on his left breast.

The left breast is adorned with a pink flower (a rose?).

He also wears a naval coat on his back and a pink flower (rose?) on his left breast.

Part of the aforementioned ink is peeking out from his left neck, and his appearance is reminiscent of a yakuza in a ninkyo (chivalrous) movie.

Since the New World Arc, his suit has changed to white, as he has assumed the position of Fleet Admiral.

He has a mustache around his mouth, and he also loves to smoke cigars, which gives him a more dignified and intimidating appearance.

In addition, from his right upper body to his cheek, he bears a fresh scar from the duel with Aokiji, which will be described later, and a part of his right ear is missing, indicating the intensity of the battle.

His justice.

He is a hard-nosed man who upholds “thorough justice,” and is harsh and militant in his pursuit of justice under the motto, “If a man is not righteous, he is not worth living.

He believes that “evil” should be eradicated from all possible sources, and even if it is a civilian, he will deal with him mercilessly if he considers him to have the potential to leave evil behind, or if he considers him to be an enemy fugitive or unfit to be a marine, even if he is a marine on his side (although he warned him to return to the battlefield when he dealt with a soldier who had fled before the enemy).

(As for the case of dealing with a soldier who fled before the enemy, Sakazaki was not at fault because he merely punished an officer-class marine, a volunteer and the commander of a unit, who committed the felony of fleeing before the enemy on the battlefield and then ignored warnings and began to make excuses on the spot). )

He is also a man with a dogged determination befitting his fierce justice, and he continued to fight for the extermination of the Whitebeard Pirates until the end of the Marine Ford Summit War, despite being seriously wounded many times.

Thoughts, Words and Deeds.

His extreme ideology and behavior made even his former colleague Kuzan shudder, and was one of the reasons why Borsalino came to the idea of “justice without a side”.

In fact, when he witnessed Sakazaki's action (ordering the bombardment) at the buster call in OHARA, Saul attacked Kuzan, “Is this what justice is supposed to do?"

but he strongly refuted it, saying, “I don't intend to go as far as that fool!” He strongly refutes this.

When Caesar Crown was criticized by others for his experiments, he said, “Now Fleet Admiral Sengoku is not thinking straight... but I'm sure Admiral ‘Akainu’ would want my weapons!"

He even justifies this by quoting Sakazuki.

Although he has a radical personality that will immediately kill his subordinates and even friends if he disagrees with them, there are many people in the marine, especially Aramaki, who agree with his ideology and admire him, while there are few people who dislike him.

In the age of big pirates, when rough men gather at sea, his “thorough justice” may have been needed at times.

On the other hand, it is also true that he has an arrogant belief that “the marine, which belongs to the World Government, will thoroughly rub out any inconvenient truth in order to maintain justice,” and that he is willing to sacrifice a few in order to maintain justice.

For Sakazaki, the sacrifices made by the Shichibukai, which are treated as a necessary evil, are merely in accordance with his beliefs, and he even opposed the abolition of the Shichibukai system until the very end.

These were opposed by Issho, who was appointed as a general by the world conscription, and he said, “The sacrifices necessary to keep the ‘Shichibukai’ alive...! You...don't understand because you've never been a victim of the tyranny of the Shichibukai...!"

The author's comment in SBS and his commentary on the “Shichibukai” are as follows.

From the author's comments in the SBS and the extra illustrations, we can infer that he has some kind of pirate-related connection in the past.

Fleet Admiral

After becoming a Fleet Admiral, he moved the marine headquarters to the New World side to exterminate pirates.

In order to further reinforce his forces, he conducted a worldwide conscription and brought in two talented men who were called “monsters” to join the marine, and took command of the entire military.

However, he has to deal with the difficulties of “middle management” more than his predecessor, Sengoku, because he is pushed around by the Tenryubito, and the two new Admirals and CP-0 Rob Lucci, who also belongs to the World Government, prioritize their own ideas and refuse to accept his orders.

As a man who would normally have to take matters into his own hands, the position of Fleet Admiral is not as convenient for him as he had expected, and as a result, he has become even grumpier than before, often yelling at his subordinates (at their own discretion).

He was even more grumpy than before and often yelled at his subordinates (at their own discretion, etc.).

However, although his position has changed, his ambition remains fierce, and in the face of the drastically changing world situation, he grumbles, “I've become a Fleet Admiral in a terrible time...!" But soon after, he shows his determination to turn back all those who come at him, and he is determined to uphold the righteousness he stands for.

Fighting Strength

The “Magma Man” transforms his entire body into scorching magma and burns everything in his path while billowing black smoke.

The heat is so intense that it can vaporize a mountain of ice many times the size of the Titans in a few seconds and wipe out all traces of them.

Moreover, its temperature can even burn up “fire,” and can inflict burn damage on those who have the ability of “mera-mera-fruit".

If we were to apply this to the real world, the temperature of flames would be about 1,000 to 1,800 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of magma would be about 900 to 1,400 degrees Celsius, depending on the conditions, so if we look at simple temperature alone, flames are actually superior.

Nevertheless, the fact that the ace was burned by the flame makes it natural to assume that he has honed and trained his abilities to the point where he can compensate for the simple difference in temperature, and as a result, has reached the ability to burn through even fire.

Other abilities to manipulate flames and high heat have been confirmed in some form, but Magmag's ability boasts the highest attack power of any demon fruit.

His tremendous power allows him to expand the range of his magma attacks, and the power of his attacks is also immense.

The main weapons are arms that have been transformed into magma and chunks of magma that erupt from them.

Each attack is so large-scale and powerful that it is reminiscent of a volcanic eruption or pyroclastic flow, as the magma is released into the sky and rains down on the area as numerous volcanic bombs at different times.

It can also magmatize itself, allowing it to move underground by melting the ground, and can fly for short periods of time by spewing magma.

Furthermore, magmatized bodies (like the smoke of a smoker or the snow of a Monet) can be controlled in volume according to the power of the magmatized body, and can grow to the size of a fist and grab it, or spread magma over a wide area and turn the area into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

At first glance, this seems like a feat that can be performed instantly due to the characteristics of magma, but many of the abilities of the devil's fruit are based on the dependence on basic combat power, and in many cases, even abilities that appear to be powerful are not displayed due to the lack of power and skill of the wielder.

Furthermore, when Smoker, who is a natural ability holder, tried to increase the volume of his ability by force, he ran out of breath.

Based on these facts, it can be said that Sakazaki himself only added these elements to his abilities, such as his trained fighting techniques, high energy, and superhuman physical abilities.

In other words, it is because of his tremendous ability and proficiency that he is able to display them as immense abilities like volcanic eruptions.

After the Summit War, he engaged in a duel with AoKiji for the position of Fleet Admiral.

His power was so great that after 10 days of fierce fighting, he changed the weather on Punk Hazard Island so drastically that half of the island was turned into a scorching hot place, forming a rift that cut the island in half and a hole (now a saltwater lake) like an explosion center in the middle.

Punk Hazard Island still retains traces of the effects of the struggle, and the other half of the island has been turned into an extremely cold place by the abilities of the Aokiji.

This is the reason why the lake is inhabited by sharks.

Approaching Sakazuki is almost synonymous with approaching a magma reservoir, so even those with high basic fighting ability and mastery of haki will be instantly consumed by the heat of the magma if they carelessly approach Sakazuki.

Basic combat power

Sakazaki himself is a man of extraordinary basic fighting skills, having survived several full-out attacks from “Whitebeard” and continued to fight on the front lines of the Summit War until the very end, and has the mental and physical strength to go toe-to-toe with Whitebeard even though he is being pushed around.

Even though his opponent is a weakened Whitebeard, he is able to continue fighting as if nothing had happened even after being damaged by an all-out blow with his wobbly fruit ability that could collapse the naval headquarters.

He is also skilled in judging the war situation, and due in part to his own offensive capabilities and ideology, he favors a strategy of destroying the enemy's victory conditions and key figures, even if they are in a position to take a heroic stand.

In addition, he is not afraid or proud of any powerful or low-ranked person, but is determined to destroy them, which makes him an extremely fearsome presence that “anyone who is turned against him on the battlefield will never escape serious damage.

His character itself, which is prone to getting bloodshot easily, is a drawback, but it is not a problem for Sakazuki himself, who does not mind the deaths of his allies or citizens, and he sometimes uses his talk to deceive his enemies on the premise that he will take care of them when he is done with them.

He is a man with almost no gaps in his personality or abilities, and is a man of great ability who deserves to be called the best in the navy headquarters.

Haki

As a Admiral or above, he is able to handle the two basic colors of haki (Armament Haki and Observation Haki) at a high level.

As a natural type, Sakazuki himself is a skilled HighLevel Haki user, and his offensive and defensive abilities are also very high.

He is unable to attack Sakazuki properly without using his “Armament Haki Aura,” but he takes some countermeasures against attacks with this “Armament Haki Aura,” and even when he is fatally attacked by Vista and Marco simultaneously on the neck, he simply dismisses it as “annoying” and continues to fight without any problems.

Charlotte Katakuri also took some countermeasures against attacks by the color of armament, using “future prediction” by Hear and See, but it is unclear whether she did so in the same way.

In addition, together with Kuzan Borsalino, he uses her advanced armament Haki to repel a huge “shockwave” caused by an attack on Whitebeard using his wobbly fruit ability, and in the anime version, when he attacks Whitebeard, he uses what appears to be a high-level armament Haki technology that glows red in combination with her ability to attack him.

Also, although there is no confirmation of the conqueror's Haki, there is a high probability that he possesses it because he is the man at the top of the world's only military organization that protects the oceans.

Furthermore, considering Luffy's combat power inflation, I think there is a very high probability that he has mastered the Advanced conqueror's Haki as well.

EggHead arc

When he heard about the contact between Blackbeard's pirates and the Heart Pirates on Winners' Island, he felt frustrated at his position, as he could not go to the front and could not afford to spare the Marine's strength, so he had no choice but to wait for the two pirates to settle their differences.

Furthermore, when he received reports that the StrawHat pirates was on the island of Egghead and that Borsalino was on his way to Egghead on a long-standing mission, he decided to have CP-0 avoid conflict with the gang until the mairne arrived, since the marine and the World Government would lack tremendous strength if Vegapunk gained the StrawHat pirates on his side. (Lucci, who was commanding the Cipher Pole at the scene, once again ignored the order.)

He also re-evaluated the power and influence of the StrawHat Crew now that Luffy has become the Yonko, and recognized them as one of the powerful enemies in the New World.

Later, upon hearing that Bartholomew Kuma had fled the kingdom of Kamabatka and appeared in Mary Geoise, he dispatched to intercept him.

He decides that it will be difficult to keep Kuma under government control any longer, and attempts to kill him.

He shows his fighting prowess as usual, including the ability to burn off part of his face, but as a result he fails and the bear escapes from Mary geoise.

"Where are you going, ...... a puppet who has lost all his will and heart?"

When he heard VegaPunk's broadcast, he listened quietly, which was unusual for him, as if he had some idea what was going on.

Predicting the Bounty

Luffy, Dragon, and Sabo have been mentioned as possible future fighters for Sakazuki.

But of these, I think the most likely to fight is Dragon.

Dragon is known to be an ex-marine, the same age as Sakazuki, and they are on opposite sides of the Japanese zodiac.

Furthermore, since we have already seen Garp vs. Kuzan and Luffy vs. Kizaru, former Admirals vs. the Monkey family, I also predict that Dragon vs. Sakazuki will break out this time.

He calls Luffy “Strawhat” now, but two years ago he called him Dragon's son, so I am sure he has some feelings for Dragon.

I think their relationship is like Naruto and Sasuke or Kakashi and Obito in the same popular Weekly Shonen Jump series.

Especially Kakashi and Obito.

One leaves his original organization and establishes a new organization and becomes its leader, while the other refines his power in his original organization and rises to the top.

It's like Dragon and Sakazuki.

Many people are still thinking about the beating he took from old Whitebeard two years ago, but the fact that the Oda said, “If he becomes the main character, he won't last a year in the series,” shows that Sakazuki is a different character from the rest of the characters.

So I think we will see Sakazuki's true spirit two years later in his fight against Dragon.

I think both of them will use Advanced Armamament Haki, Observation Haki of Future vision Level, and Advanced conqueror's haki to show us a fight that will shake New Marineford or Mary geoise.

Just like the fight between Roger and Whitebeard.

So, I predicted the bounty.

The bounty is 5.5 billion berries!

This is common in Weekly Shonen Jump manga, but the protagonist's father is set up to be stronger than the protagonist until he meets the protagonist.

So if Luffy is currently at the level of the Four Emperors, it necessarily means that his father, Dragon, is above the level of the Four Emperors.

It is reasonable to assume that Sakazuki, who fights against Dragon, has become strong enough to compete with Dragon on an equal level.

Therefore, I predict that both Dragon and Sakazuki are at the Pirate King level.

Many people have high expectations for Sakazuki, so I am looking forward to seeing him.

Well, that's all for now.

Thanks for watching!
