Arent the animals also based off a legendary kinda kids story? I thought Id heard that it was somewhere and you could possibly think why or how the 2 powers so far got their ice and light like they did...

And if it were blood, Id wonder if it could be like Chardens from Black Cat ;P?

In the legend it's just an ordinary pheasant, monkey, and dog. The only thing particularly related to their abilities is the color. Blue = ice. Yellow = light. Aka tends to be more like scarlet, blood-colored red. That's why people are expecting that. It's highly likely that the color is associated with blood, although he may not have a devil fruit at all. I'd hate if he was a swordsman, though, there are way too many of those.

Blood is not a natural element, so for Akainu to be a Blood Logia that would be impossible. And even if there was a Blood Devil Fruit, giving something like that to a character would instantly makes them the strongest out there.

I was thinking in some sort of energy...maybe thermal or something...

[...] And the red part can represent earth, because often times earth is seen/talked about as being a redish and crimson color.

Thx for the comment below.

can you explain this, please?
i don't know nothing about this, and it's interesting! =O

Well i don't know what i can really explain. But "earth" or the "ground" i guess, can be looked at being many different colors. For example it can be brown, orange, red and etc. So i was just making a connection between his nickname and the possibility of him being an "earth" type Logia.

'stand.

... because often times earth is seen/talked about ....

this words make me thought that there is a reference of this into the manga, sorry.
Thanks anyway. °_*

 

[Sachsenhesse]

the redline ^^

 

[ITACHI R~I~P]

I think hell be a vampire... o_o
Jus a thought but he's called the red dog.. In some instances vampires can change into wolves... And also vampires can drink blood hints red dog... Jus thoughts tho open to criticsm yo.... ;p

First post.

After some analyzing, i have personally concluded the following.

We all know kuzan and borsalino's fruit types associate with nature's elements.


Sakazuki, on the other hand could be plant themed. A type of flower/plant/ or something to do with the ground.

How did i figure this out? Simple. Take a look at his shirt colar and flower pin.
During the ohara flashback, Sakazuki had all of this covered with a brown cape with hood under an admiral jacket.

Apparently the clothing gives quite a hint. Black attire indicates that Sakazuki is most likely as heartless as the CP9.

*Edit* and although there are some one piece characters that appear to have a wierd attached laugh and theme behind them (kishishi, sayhahaha,fosfosfos, etc.) I think Sakazuki will be as serious as Hawkeye.
God forbids if anything fatal happens to Sengoku, Sakazuki seems "fit enough" to be the replacement out of the three admirals.

Yeah, strange no-one had bumped this now we've seen (partially at least) Akainu for the first time since he became an Admiral.

And so he has a pretty evident Rose petal theme going on there. Sounds a bit wimpy and romantic, contrary to his cold-hearted image, but at the same time the contrast could be what makes him a good character.

That said, the roses could be misleading us to his power. I mean, a rose logia? Sounds a bit silly. Perhaps a Parmecia admiral which would make him unique in that respect.

 

[modoki]

A white rose does associate in death. Though I find the bloody red long stem types deadly enough

 

[NoLimit89]

pretty sure I've posted this somewhere before a long time ago but

color = logia power
animal = personality

blue pheasant, blue = ice, pheasant = docile/lazy
yellow monkey, yellow = light, monkey = easily bored/absent minded
red dog, red = probably earth - which may include plant life (as I've explained why red on page 2 or 3 of this thread), dog = fanatically loyal and unquestioning

and as I posted before, earth is known as red in many culture. e.g. australian indigenous people had their flag as black stripe, yellow circle, red stripe. the black symbolizes the night sky and the dreaming. the yellow is the sun or light and the red is the earth.

 

[Dark God Zeus]

I'm thinking an earth earth fruit, which would give him some powers relating to plants as well.

For instance, he can plant the rose we see him wear, then quickly fertilize the soil and insta grow the rose, to which he can use Kurama-esque attacks with the rose.

I have no doubt he'll be a logia user, but I can't imagine turning into earth because it's hard and solid. But, I guess if you could do it for ice, earth is within those realms.

 

[Riku]

Croc could dry things up with sand, so I could totally buy growing plants with earth/soil/whatever fruit.

But what confuses me now, is the way Akainu is introduced. He hasn't had same kinda grand entrance as Aokiji and Kizaru. He just is there. My thinking comes only to two possible conclusions:

A) Oda is planning on something totally huuge and surprising around him
B) He'll never have too big impact on the storyline

Considering how ominously and mysteriously he has been displayed in Ohara and now (and the simple fact that he is an admiral), I'm leaning towards option A. Though there is still time for proper introduction in this arc.

 

[Akainu]

Well I tend to think that the big impact thing was already shown for him when he still was viceadmiral in Ohara. However we did not see him fighting with his DF and this is the perfect chance imo to do so
+ I totally agree with Modoki that Akainu seems to be the one who would fit the position of fleetadmiral best IF something would happen to Sengoku during the fight or later on. That however would change the face of the marines completly imo and may even provoke mutiny among the rather easy going marines.

 

[modoki]

Oda intended the 3 admirals to have extremely difficult DF abilites and not something easy to extinguish.

Kuzan is ice. Looking closer, its more of a super condensed form of dry ice which irl hurts if we hold in hand. Extremely lazy personality due to the cold air that circulates his body making him sleepy mostly.

Borsalino is light. Another element difficult to extinguish, that is, however you are Teach or simply know a form of haki. That alone is easier said than done. Borsalino seems to have the personality of a nomaad/caveman if you look good enough.

Sakazuki on the other hand... is definitely something hard to extinguish. Sakazuki's personality if im not mistaken could be the reason for his name "dog", tough like a boot camp instructor/full of energy like a red bull drink.


Blue (Ice) Pheasant
Yellow (light)Monkey
Red (??)Dog

*EDIT*
It definitely couldnt be blood, since that would be a big problem once english dubbed in the super far future. But I think you should all take a look at this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_mercury

If sakazuki is this element, he could be the strongest of the 3 admirals for sure. I will take my chances and gamble on Mercury. This matches his strict personality, an element for bombs, and is red. Found in a thermometer

 

[kkck]

^I think akainu will either be an earth/rock or lava/magma logia. The mercury thing would not be bad though.

 

[Duc :D]

he is definitly (bu t noch 100% xD ) logia user since the others are and Some Earth element seems plausibl in this case and also his strict attitue towards absolute justice is the more dangerous part about him

 

[modoki]

Don Achino, from an anime filler, has the atsu atsu fruit that controlls lava/magma already.

 

[kkck]

wasn't he simply capable of heating stuff? He is not cannon anyways so it doesn't matter....
