I love to hate Akainu, he is a great villain and a great character. You know, this is how real enemies need to be: intimidating, powerful... but still hatable. That is a real problem with the previous arcs, people tend to like the villains because you can understand their motives well. They are not completely heartless.

Arlong cared for his fellow fishmen like a brother, mourned their defeat by Luffy. Enel offered the strongest fighters to join him on his journey to fairy vearth. Magellan, while being the main antagonist of Impeldown, is liked by many one piece fans. He is a warden and he is just doing his job. Rob Lucci and the Cp9, while being cruel assassins, seem to still follow the general rules - even after they resigned from the organisation.

And then there is Akainu. All we know is that he is hardcore, even more then Lucci, killing even his subordinates. He is responsible for the Ohara incident, he is the one plotting with Squardo, he is the one killing Ace and injuring Jinbe and Luffy. We have absolutely no explanation why he acts that way, unlike the other villains (and i hope it stays that way).

My bet: Blackbeard will steal the revenge-kill from the whitebeard pirates and Luffy. I just have a feeling it will be him-
