Alright, folks, let’s dive into the spicy connection between Akainu and Monkey D. Dragon. These two are like two peas in a pod, and they’ve got a history that’s hotter than Akainu’s magma.
So, first off, Akainu and Dragon are pretty close in age, and both of them were in the Marines at the same time. Akainu, known for his unwavering commitment to “Absolute Justice,” was the poster child for Marine doctrine.
But here’s where the plot thickens: 30 years ago, Dragon, the future revolutionary extraordinaire, straight-up said, “I can’t find any justice in being a Marine soldier.” Ouch, right?
Now, Akainu’s version of justice is a bit like a bulldozer – he’s all about getting things done.
It’s like he’s trying to prove that Dragon’s decision back in the day was a big mistake. If that’s true, it means that Akainu’s connection with Monkey D. Dragon goes way beyond the surface level.
Remember the Marineford War? Akainu was ready to keep laying the smackdown, even if it meant sacrificing some lower-tier Marine soldiers. Shanks had to swoop in and be the peacemaker. Akainu’s “absolute justice” approach isn’t exactly cost-effective, and it’s not the kind of decision-making you’d expect from a Fleet Admiral. So, they chose Kuzan, the cool and collected admiral, to be the big boss instead. That decision had consequences, and Akainu ended up damaging one of the Marines’ valuable assets.
Now, here’s the kicker: Akainu seems to value “absolute justice” more than friendship and personal connections.
That’s got betrayal written all over it.
It’s like he’s been burned in the past, and that’s why he’s got such a fiery obsession with Monkey D. Dragon’s son, Luffy. This obsession has often distracted him from focusing on the real enemies.
You see, betrayal usually happens when you’ve had some valuable friendships, and the Marines go through some hardcore training that creates a strong sense of camaraderie.
Why was he promoted, you ask?
Well, it’s probably because he’s ruthless, doesn’t mind offing Marines and innocents (basically, anyone who’s not on the government’s hit list – remember Ohara?), and he’s a real “yes man.” He’ll do more than just follow orders; he’ll go the extra mile if it benefits the higher-ups. Like what happened on Ohara – that might’ve been what sealed the deal for his admiral promotion, or even boosted it.
So there you have it, folks, the scorching connection between Akainu and Monkey D. Dragon, with all the drama, betrayal, and magma you can handle! One Piece, always keeping us on our toes.
