I mean, he IS an unofficial
5th emperor now.
I’m personally waiting for him to wreck Akainu’s ****.
First, let’s wait and see how his rematch with Kaido will go. ;-)
Second, I don’t see a fight with Akainu anytime soon. (Maybe at the end of the series.)Still, I don’t see how Luffy could counter his magma powers, except dodging it, and landing a few hits with Snake man, I think Akainu is really troublesome for a brawler like Luffy, since like against Megallen, he can’t touch him without getting hurt, except he gets some kind of support.
Third, I still think that a fight against Blackbeard is much more likely, and much more winnable for Luffy. Still a hard fight, but he won’t get burned alive as soon as he touches him. And he decked him good with a single punch before. And Luffy might be able to counter the Yami Yami no mi abilities much easier than Akainu’s Magu Magu no Mi, and since Luffy is made out of rubber, the Gura Gura powers might not even affect him that much, it is quite possible that he could absorb the shock waves at least partially. Still a combi of both powers will result in a hard hit.
