User blog comment:Borsalino-sun/Admiral Akainu vs Aokiji...Which logia power is more powerfull??/@comment-1211470-20100921102315

Akainu's fruit...let's for purpose of arguement call it the Magma Magma No Mi, is an interesting and unique Logia. As you know most devil fruit work on a rock paper scissors system, where by some Devil Fruits possess techniques or abillities that makes them strong defenses or atleast counters against other Devil Fruit, while most prevelant amongst Logia they do exist in other fruit. Doru Doru vs Doku Doku for example in the Paramecia class.

Amongst Logia this counter system is known as an "Order of Superiority" (OoS) where one Element is able to defeat another simply by it's nature. The Magma Magma No Mi holds an Order of superiority over the Mera Mera No Mi and can subsequently "smother" the Mera Mera No Mi's flames which resulted in the death of Ace. While typically a fruit only holds the OoS over one other fruit the Magma Magma No Mi seems to also hold an OoS over the Hie Hie No Mi, melting the ice it creates by proximity and contact.

In a battle of brute power Aokiji will never defeat Akainu as his ice is simply not strong enough to withstand the Magma fruits 'flames'. Though when discussing fruit users we must harken back to the words of Crocodile. "No Devil Fruit is innately makes you more powerful than any other fruit or user. It is all down to how you make use of your abillities that the fruit grants you" As seen when Luffy defeats Crocodile using a fruit considered 'Weak' or how the Doru Doru a weaker Paramecia is able to defend and even fight back against the Doku Doku an incredibly powerful fruit.

So end of the day I prefer Akainu as a character so my vote goes to him but in reality it can go either way.
