Discussion Akainu

[Tomgoood01]

Anyway that red Mercury idea wont work cause there is no such thing as narutal Red Mercury. Red mercury is a compound containing mercury that has undergone irradiation. When exploded, it creates tremendous heat and pressure – the same type needed to trigger a fusion device such as a mini-neutron bomb.

I want to believe he has a Devil Fruit fire or heat-related, but two characters, Ace and Don Achino, have the powers of fire and heat, respectively.

i think maybe Akainu ability has something to do with sound. in chapter 551, when Whitebeard's Moby Dick about to rise, 3 admiral notice that, but Oda draw focus on Akainu's ear.

 

[deffkryz]

Can't fans just sit and wait until a character shows more than "speaking, breathing, standing, sitting, giving orders and crossing arms"? That's all we actually know about him. Oh wait... He'll surely be able to poop, won't he?

Moderator Notice:
That is the purpose of discussion.~ Gecko

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

No, in fact he is sort of canon since Oda created that character all by himself with his abilities. Furthermore Oda stated he won't be using characters and abilities in the manga - so we won't see such a DF power in the manga.

I agree that if Oda has shown us Aka Inu's ear in the 551th, it was because it has a special meaning. Otherwise, Oda would not have made a panel with only Aka Inu's ear : he would have just shown normally that Aka Inu noticed what was going to happen.
The more logical thing would be that it has a link with the way he fights.
What can we deduce : the thing is that Aka Inu was the first one to hear something. That means Aka Inu can hear distant sound waves that are under water. The first thing that cames to my mind is that he has a power linked to (sound) waves.
But the problem is that I do not really understand the link with the flower theme. Besides, Apoo already uses sound waves to fight.

Just because Oda drew them doesn't mean they are canon. To be canon for the story itself it would have to show some influence in the manga, at least mentioning sth. like ... Luffy: "Oh that guy with the heat ability in the middle of the ice" which we will never see (imo).
That said I have to agree with you, we will have to wait and see what his power is, personality wise we have seen just about enough with the order to sink a ship of Oharan escapees.

More uses of fire or heat might seem redundant. And I hope it's better than that!!
But Canon is Manga...

 

[Dark God Zeus]

Yellow Monkey- the fruit Borsalino uses is colored yellow.

Blue pheasent- fruit Aokiji uses is blue.

Red dog- I'm guessing the element will be colored red, and will be a logia. With this, since he wears a rose, I am guessing his power will be the bara bara no mi, or rose rose fruit. It's been done in anime before (cough, kurama), and can't you just imagine hitting him without haki and akainu breaking down into rose petals!

Perhaps he places his rose on the ground, and can accelerate it's growth to create large vinewhips, thorns, etc.

 

[Shadoguardian]

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

I thought he had thae ability to control heat. I don't think he had the ability to control the magma itself.

Also note that Akainu is wearing gloves. Could this be because of his ability?

I don't think that means all that much, because Oda showed all three Admirals being aware of the sound, at the same time. Then he showed Akainu's ear, most likely to show that they heard what was happening. And then even Sengoku and Garp are shown to have heard something, hell even average Marines heard some type of a sound. But again, all three Admirals apparently became aware of the sound at the same time. Now if Oda showed us Akainu's ear first then there may be something there, but that wasen't the case. If anything that was just Oda showing us that the thing the Admirals had detected was because of sound. Otherwise he would have made the situation much more specific to Akainu if he was trying to tell us something about him.

 

[beastboy]

I think Aka Inu power is not related to heat, fire, nor magma.
If I am correct he has a red power, and almost certainely a logia.
And earth doesn't seem a good power just cause we were introduced in last chap to a quake man.
Rose would be cool, something like byakuya's power, but that is to much like buggy and the DF would probably have the same name has buggy's(bara bara no mi - rose rose no mi)
So I exclude that.
So there are only one simple and red element, blood that would be quite awesome but (to variate) I also doubt of it.
So I have no more Ideas, but here is my argument to why I don't think this powers are the ones that will be Aka Inu's powers.

 

[Dark God Zeus]

Based on a comment made by Zoro, I think I've found Akainu's DF

http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/301/06/

Ok, now the line I am talking about is only said in the anime while Zoro is training in Skypia, but you'd have to be hard pressed to say it doesn't fit in/isn't canon with One Piece.

http://onepieceofbleach.com/one-piece-194/

At about 8:30 Zoro is training when he is thinking "Water, Light, Fire. The elements that destroy".

Maybe it's stretching it, but I don't think Zoro saying Light was a coincidence.

Ice: Aokiji's DF, and the solid form of water. Since water IS the weakness of all DF, we don't know if there even is a mizu mizu no mi, so for now ice is the closest thing to water.

Light: Kizaru's DF

Fire: Ace's DF, but here is where akainu comes in. A common theory has been lava/volcano man, and I think akainu will fulfill that. Former is basically a solid form of fire, latter can give lava/ash.

We know that for admirals, failure is not tolerated. They are the single strongest forces within the marines.

Eh, maybe a stretch, I just watched this episode yesterday and thought about it.

 

[Freakzin]

in a filler episode there was a lava lava man. and oda said on a SBS that it doesn't matter if filler is made up stuff, DF's used on fillers will not repeat in canon story.

 

[Akainu]

I don't remember seeing a lava man, only a "heat" man (Don Accino) that could produce heat and thus handle lava which is a whole diffrent category though ^^'

 

[deffkryz]

in a filler episode there was a lava lava man. and oda said on a SBS that it doesn't matter if filler is made up stuff, DF's used on fillers will not repeat in canon story.

There only were:

• Don Acchino who was an atsu atsu man, being able to control his body temperature (atsu atsu means "cooking")
• and Bear King who was a kachi kachi man, being able to harden body parts and heating them up (kachi kachi means "tic-tac"/"being inflexible")

Don Acchino was "hot" enough to melt rock to lava that's right - but he was not a "lava man".

I came up with a トロトロの実 (toro toro no mi) as lava fruit and made this up from トロイデ (toroide) which means "Lava dome"/"Volcanic dome"/"tholoid". But there are at least three different meanings to トロトロ (torotoro): "sleepy" or "simmering" or "soft". But its name was already taken by a movie for Honey Queen's ability.

Those being able to speak and understand Japanese may stop laughing now - I'm going back to my deep and dark hole.

My guess:
Kū
空 Kū or sora, most often translated as "Void", but also meaning "sky" or "Heaven", represents those things beyond our everyday experience, particularly those things composed of pure energy. Bodily, kū represents spirit, thought, and creative energy. It represents our ability to think and to communicate, as well as our creativity. It can also be associated with power, creativity, spontaneity, and inventiveness.
Kū is of particular importance as the highest of the elements. In martial arts, particularly in fictional tales where the fighting discipline is blended with magic or the occult, one often invokes the power of the Void to connect to the quintessential creative energy of the world. A warrior properly attuned to the Void can sense his surrounding and act without thinking, and without using his physical senses

Reason for guess:
A warrior properly attuned to the Void can sense his surrounding and act without thinking, and without using his physical senses
-Basically this explains the reason why Oda drew the ear.

represents those things beyond our everyday experience, particularly those things composed of pure energy.
-I think we need something dif than light and ice, "pure energy" . Making akainu special and we all know he needs to be special, considering being --the last admiral that haven't showed us his df.

where the fighting discipline is blended with magic or the occult, one often invokes the power of the Void to connect to the quintessential creative energy of the world.
-Magicians and people that have to do with occult are rare in one piece, that's why

& To top it all up, the name of the fruit, Void Void Mi. Sora sora mi.
Its an element in japan too.

EDITED: or the Air air fruit, considering he wear a rose shirt. I mean, all things in the world need oxygen right? Plants need em for photosynthesis..etc.
And air fruit is gonna be real powerful, as in an sbs oda said he's the strongest out of the admirals.

 

[Dice]

Could you give as the quote where it was said that he is the strongest? I just can't rememeber anything like that^^.
But anyway: nice thoughts you got there.
