One Piece: Oda Has Set Up the Perfect Character to Beat Down Akainu That’s Better Than Luffy’s Revenge

One Piece‘s Marineford battle Arc demonstrated peak tragedy as Luffy’s desperate attempt to save his brother Ace ended up in heartbreak, leaving a scar that still shapes his journey.

With Garp’s life hanging by a thread, it’s probably the time when Koby ultimately gets the real development. And perhaps, it’s not Luffy, but Koby will be the one to deliver a decisive blow to Akainu.
