Well, of course Oda shows Akainu in a strong shape - at the moment -

He is the "newly" introduced Admiral, only reasonable that Oda lets him kick ass. Remember when Oda introduced Aokiji and Kizaru? They royaly kicked ass as well. Same story for most of the new one piece characters (or any other shonen), it is almost like the golden rule: introduce new characters with a BANG.

And whitebeard had no special admiral against him during the war, all 3 attacked him - one after another. Only obvious, if the commanders interfere they have to be dealt with first - and all of them failed quick against Kizaru and Aokiji, one of them even loosing an arm. The only difference is personality, there i agree that Akainu is really intimidating. Absolute justice doesn't even fit him, more like hardcore absolute justice (compare his actions to those of rob lucci - just crazy)
