So, how's this guy gonna get done in?

No.6884
Righteously.

No.6885
Gotta be either Luffy or Robin who does it.

No.6886
>>6885
Robin has precedence, methinks.

No.6890
>>6886
The only problem is how?

Robin has beaten opponents who were decent against her powers before, but Akainu isn't just to big to attack directly like Yama or another Logia which she just couldn't directly attack, it would actually hurt her if she even tried to.

The only way I think she might be able to beat him is something involving either knocking him into water or exposing to whatever weakness his fruit gives him (probably water) without touching him.

OK, after thinking for a second, that doesn't sound to hard. Go Robin!

No.6891
>>6890
Lava + Water = Rock

Like Aokiji, bringing down Akainu isn't as simple as dropping him off of a boat. The man could build entire islands if he wanted.

No.6892
>>6891
What happens if you get seastone into him?

No.6893
>>6890
Well, she is with the Revolutionaries at the moment, and Dragon does have Wind powers. (At least, it's highly likely.) Maybe he'll use his wind powers to cool Akainu into rock, and then let Robin have the honor of smashing him into pieces and throwing the pieces into the sea.

No.6896
>>6892
Well, it causes whoever it's touching to become weak and unable to use their powers consciously, but not unconsciously (Luff is still made of rubber).

I can't remember, has seastone ever been used on a Logia user while they were turned into their element? I know it keeps them from using their power if used on them while they're still solid, but would seastone prevent them from reforming or force them to reform instantly?

No.6898
>>6896
I assume reforms them instantly. It stops their control over the power, and the control in this instance would be the control over keeping themselves in a form of an element.

For example, Ener was pretty much constantly in 'can't touch this' form when fighting until Wiper blasted him with seastone - presumably he was still elemental when the seastone made contact and it hardened him up.

No.6899
so im not really in with the intricate discussions within this board so im wondering how did robin crop up from a discussion of defeating akainu....?

No.6900
>>6899
Remember the dude in the hat who nuked Ohara and then blew up the survivors?

He took off his hat.

No.6901
Consider Haki: It works even when somebody is intangible. I'm guessing seastone is the same

No.6903
Not before he says, Remember me, Luffy? When I killed your brother, I talked juuust liiike thiiis!

No.6904
Yeah, I'd definitely argue Robin has first dibs.

The question is... where to put the fight? Akainu will probably be around until the end of the series or just before, so I'm thinking the best place for the final confrontation with him would be in the second-to-last arc, right before Raftel.

No.6906
Akainu's going to be one of Oda's many Karma Houdini villains, much like Wapol, Nezumi, and Morgan all ended up slightly beaten up and then led peaceful lives afterwards while still being total jackasses.

No.6908
>>6906
Huh?

Wapol was genuinely redeemed, Nezumi was exposed and Morgan's in jail.

No.6911
>>6908
You're right about Morgan, but Nezumi was shown to have suffered nothing beyond getting a slight beating from Nami, losing the setup he had with Arlong, and not getting Nami's money. If he was exposed/discharged or whatever it must have been after Luffy did one of the other things the he's watned for or Luffy's bounty would have been revoked since Nezumi was the one who initiated it--why would they keep out a bounty that high when the only report of him doing something illegal was from a crooked officer?

Wapol is debatable: while the cover story implies living as a bum lead him to stop thinking he deserves everything even if he just sits on his ass, he's living better than he ever did as a king even though he really didn't do anything to make up for what he's done to the people of Drum Island.

No.6913
>>6900

ohhhh yeah i remember now. thanks anon. :]

No.6918
Huh...would freezing him work?

No.6925
>>6911
Well, if the theory that Nero and Nezumi are minkmen holds any water, he might pop up again.

No.6926
>>6918

he's too hot to be frozen, you'd just need to spam water at him to cool his ass off. So, if anyone's going to take him down it'll be Jimbei or a merman

No.6954
>>6926
Or maybe you can make Aokiji and him crash into eachother somehow.

No.6957
>>6908>>6911

Morgan escapes scot free immediately after landing on Garp's ship, remember? http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/132/01/

No.6958
Garp is probably kicking his shit all over Marineford right now.

No.6960
>>6957
I knew that, it's just that, unlike Nezumi, he was disgraced and stripped of his rank. Even though he got away, he was still completely humiliated and is stuck on a stupid little boat in the middle of nowhere.

No.6968
>>6960

But think about this for a second: Morgan escaped in that tiny little boat from Garp. He may not have his rank anymore, but he totally humiliated one of the highest ranked and most well known Marines of any generation alive and is still a complete douche. My point is that Oda's treatment of villains aren't always the ones we appreciate, especially any of the WG and Marine characters.

No.6969
>>6968
You're making WAAAAAAAAY too big a deal over this.

No.6973
>>6969
If we've learned anything from Oda's elephant memory, there's not such thing as too much over-analyzing.

No.6976
>>6973
Not when you whine and bitch that axehand TTLLY HUMILIATED GARP OMG!1!

Shit bitch Garp didn't even notice that smallfry, he was too busy taking a nap.

No.7073
Morgan was stripped of his rank and forsaken by his only family; his escape was due to Garp's narcolepsy and Coby's rescue of Helmeppo. Honestly, the East Blue forces are probably combing the waters for him... someone like Garp is better used elsewhere.

As for Wapol... yeah, that was something of a Karma Houdini. His life of poverty following defeat was, I believe, supposed to have shown him the other side of life, the perspective of those he'd spent so long oppressing. However, as a cover arc, it did seem to slingshot the jerkwad from "getting back on his feet" to "getting everything he ever wanted and more" without a sufficient epiphany. Take consolation in the fact that cover arcs usually denote eventual plot points and we likely haven't seen the last of him...

Nezumi was a monumental asshole who took bribes and directly caused Luffy's first bounty, but that was more or less the extent of his actual crimes. He was the smallest of the small fry and probably not worth worrying about in the grand scheme of things. There are far greater monsters within the Marines...

As far as I'm concerned, the only villain who truly "got away with it" was the one villain Luffy couldn't really stop: Eneru. The Strawhats prevented him from destroying Skypiea, yes, but he still attained his dream of conquering the moon. Like Wapol, though, I'm fairly certain we'll be seeing him again.
