Just as one of the bloggers mentioned, we have yet to see Luffy's power unleashed. We have only seen bits and pieces of it. although he fought against hordy, that was not much of a battle IMHO. We have to give Luffy some credit. I think he can stand his own against an admiral and I say if he comes by akainu, he would fight him and possibly beat him (keep in mind, i'm eagerly looking forward to this). Luffy is an improvisational fighter, that is why I think he can defeat an admiral especially with his acquisition of the Haki, which is an extraordinary ability. With blackbeard, that is another issue. I really can't picture how that battle will go, but then again, Luffy will improvise something, or something will occur to give him the ability to fight Teach on par. I can't come up with anything on that, but once i do, i will post my theory!
