There are clues showing the battle between Kaido and Luffy in One Piece chapter 1048 that hinted how Luffy will face Akainu in the future.
1. Luffy’s body weakness remains the same
In One Piece 1048, Luffy’s hands look very hot when Kaido covers his body with fire. Interestingly, earlier in One Piece 1047, Kaido also mentioned that Luffy’s rubber body is still weak against slashes.
This confirms that even though Luffy can change his body shape to whatever he imagines, Luffy’s body is basically still made of rubber so Luffy’s weakness remains the same.
2. Luffy can attack without touching the opponent’s body
After training with Mr. Hyogoro, Luffy has developed his armed Haki to a new level to be able to attack enemies without contact.
As a result, Luffy in One Piece 1048 seems confident that he can defeat Kaido with his Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun without having to touch Kaido’s body covered in flames.
That’s why many fans think that it’s possible that the Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun technique will be what Luffy uses to fight Akainu in the future.
3. Luffy and Akainu will have a high level Haki battle?
Although Luffy can use Haki – a great weapon against the power of the Logia Devil Fruit. However, Akainu’s ability to create and control magma will still become a difficult obstacle for Luffy, whose body is made of rubber.
But seeing Luffy use the Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun technique against Kaido, we can be sure that Luffy will also use a similar technique against Akainu.
In addition to being able to attack without touching Akainu’s magma body, the Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun technique is also essentially a technique used with armed Haki, so Akainu’s Logia body can also be damaged. injured if hit.
The point is, it’s almost certain that Akainu is also capable of using techniques with similar or even stronger armed Haki.
Not to mention as a Fleet Admiral, Akainu is most likely also proficient in high-level Observation Haki so Luffy’s defeat of Akainu won’t be so easy either.
So Luffy’s fight against Akainu will be a more fierce battle with Haki.
But at the very least, Luffy’s ability to attack without having to touch his opponent’s body could bring him closer to Akainu’s level than he is now.
