I would not be shocked if more unethical research is put out onto the battlefield. It was hinted at that the Pacifista have been upgraded over the last two years, since the ones fought after the timeskip were said to be unmodified. They might have new powers in different models.. imagine one with logia. You and I know what Akainu is capable of doing, down to emotional manipulation if necessary. He sank civilian ships at Ohara just to ensure that no archaeologists were on them. If Vegapunk's made something dangerous, you can bet Akainu will want to put it to use. He might even give thought to the H2S bomb via Doflamingo.
