Akainu is very underatted but Oda did said he can be pirat king if he had gone Pirat insted of Marin so he is Pirat King level by the creator himself and the fact his DF said to be the most destructive out of them all gives him a small edge as well as being Luffy final Boss after he become PK and beat BB with 3rd DF. Usopp tanked 4 tons to his face multiple times in Arabasta, human durability in this series is a bit higher than in the real world. [32] Like Gol D. Roger, Whitebeard believed that a child should not be responsible for their parents' sins. Whitebeard was a brief member of the Rocks Pirates for a certain period of his life, specifically until the God Valley Incident, when the crew met its downfall.
