After the Wano arc, basically the strength of the Straw Hat crew members will be raised to a new level. Besides getting stronger, the growth of the Straw Hats will make the world government feel they must prevent Luffy from being able to find One Piece. The Marines will be the main force involved in stopping the Straw Hats and if there is to be a major clash between the strongest members of the navy and the Straw Hats, the following 4 matchups will be very interesting!
Luffy – Admiral Akainu
Of course, every time Luffy has a breakthrough in strength, One Piece fans refer to “Red Dog” Akainu as someone Luffy needs to defeat or even destroy. This comes from the fact that this Admiral of the Sea is the one who killed Ace, Luffy’s brother and also one of the most popular characters in One Piece.
After the battle of Wano, with Haki Conqueror combined with high-class armed Haki and increasingly strong fighting power, Luffy defeated Kaido and was completely strong enough to confront Akainu fairly. This will definitely be an earth-shattering clash when both are characters possessing great fighting power.
Zoro – Admiral “purple tiger” Fujitora
This will be the next exciting battle that many fans think of if there is a clash between the navy and the Straw Hats. Fujitora’s real name is Issho, he is a naval admiral. He joined the navy through the World Army Draft during the 2 year timeskip with Ryokugyu. The two became admirals due to Kuzan’s resignation and Sakazuki becoming the Admiral of the Water Master.
At Dressrosa, Zoro had a small test with this admiral, but at that time the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates was still not an opponent of Fujitora. Fortunately, because Fujitora does not follow the “Absolute Justice” ideology of the navy, this admiral has a bit of mercy with the Straw Hats in Dressrosa. However, after the Wano arc, with his new strength, Zoro can completely confront Admiral Purple Tiger.
Sanji – Admiral “golden monkey” Kizaru
With the activation of his latent genetic code, the blond Sanji had a strong shine in Wano when he personally defeated the Plague Queen, one of the two most effective arms under the Yonko Kaido. In terms of speed and flexibility in combat, Sanji is now the one who shows this best in the Straw Hats.
Therefore, nothing would be more wonderful if this chef had the opportunity to clash with Kizaru, the admiral who possesses the speed of light. Surely this will be an interesting confrontation that many One Piece fans look forward to after the Wano arc ends.
Yamato – Admiral “blue cow” Ryokugyu
The character Ryokugyu “Blue Cow” is one of the most mysterious names in One Piece. For now, we only know that he is a naval admiral and his level of strength is among the top in this series. There would be nothing more reasonable if the day “blue cow” Admiral Ryokugyu showed his strength and revealed himself was the day when the navy would meet the Straw Hats. So who is this admiral’s opponent?
Currently, Yamato is not officially a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, but with the way he builds the character image and is also one of the most popular new characters in One Piece over the past few years, the 11th member. Calling Kaido’s daughter’s name wasn’t too surprising either. With the power of the top and has not exploited its full potential, it will be an interesting clash between Yamato and the “blue cow” admiral Ryokugyu if the Straw Hats encounter the navy.
In general, the scenario of the Straw Hats clashing with the navy is likely to take place in One Piece. After the Wano arc, the Straw Hats will be in a different position and no longer need to run away from any opponents. In addition to the 4 most interesting matchups that we mentioned above, in your opinion, are there any other pairs that are really worth watching? Please leave your comments!
