[Question] Blackbeard vs Akainu

[Yellow Spark]

Its rather difficult to say as we have not even seen much of blackbeard after the war. But still i think akainu can give a tough fight.

[Kamishini]

Akainu.

Blackbeard hasnt mastered his devil fruits yet.

[★YellowFlash1]

I believe blackbeard would of giving him a fairly decent fight before the time skip, however, one can only speculate on his current power.

I believe that blackbeard may be able to beat him, giving that he has improved his Devil fruit.

[-Frost Knight-]

Akainu.

[zinescience]

Blackbeard absolutely has an up hand using 2 devil fruits

[zamki]

Blackbeard for sure

[Yellow Spark]

Blackbeard has 2 devil fruits but i don't think he has haki. For long range logia user, it would be easy if he can withstand his gravitational pull.

[rikerslade]

I say Akainu would win with it being a close battle. It's safe to assume Blackbeard has become proficient with both his fruits, but I think Akainu wins because Blackbeard isn't exactly the most durable person ever.

[Madarauchiwa]

akainu wins this if he can get close and hit blackbeard at least twice seeing as hes the weakest when it comes to taking hits

i agree too. To control two powers he should have a sharp mind. But it doesnt look that way.

[silmarill]

I think Akainu is still above BB as for now, aslo BB has a very arrogant and sloppy fighting style, like whitebeard said hes overconfident and careless as we have seen.

[Okami the butcher]

well with his yami yami no mi he can negate Akainu's magma and with his gura gura no mi he can just bash him but Akainu has Busoshoku Haki which can negate Blackbeard'ss devil fruit abilities so basically i think it will just become a slug fest and the winner would be Akainu mainly because we know he has haki and there for could harden his punches

[Danzo Auditore De Firenze]

Akainu takes this.

[~Khallil-Sama~]

blackbeard

[Okami the butcher]

by the way you should create a poll

[Alphaqindyas]

As people said above, we have to speculate on their abilities after the war. Also, Blackbeard has probably gotten really good at the two fruits. I just think that Akainus haki is still better than BB's. I think it would be close though. With Akainu taking it.

[Yellow Spark]

A poll has been added.

[Killer Bee and Samehada]

It will be a sin but BB is gonna win

[jonsnow1991]

Considering the last thing we saw of Blackbeard was him running away from Akainu with his entire crew, I'm choosing Akainu for now. Akainu is just pure evil, and his DF matches his personality. Blackbeard doesn't have anywhere close to the stamina of Whitebeard, especially considering his Darkness Fruit makes him even more vulnerable to attacks.

[~Yubel~]

Blackbeard always takes the first hit before retaliating, against Magellan he almost died but that **** won't fly with Akainu as one hit means something like your face gone.

[CharlieBundels]

Akainu would win, as Yubel said, a magma fist to the face isn't something you tank, he'll lose his face, or have a huge hole in his chest. GG.
