You probably did not quite get what I tried to say. I would try to elaborate, Luffy is a guy who wants everything to happen in his own way, as One Piece is a shonen manga and he is the hero, everything works out, but if you look at the events without being biased you would get the idea what he really is. He went to save Robin, even after Robin forbid him (it worked out and we saw that Robin was lying but just look at the situation before that was found) yet he still went to save her, stubborn at what he wanted, that is selfishness (it worked out as good for the sake of the story). I am pretty sure that even if Nami would have actually been in good terms with Arlong, Luffy would at least nag her to join him, (he won't force probably, he is not that bad) this nagging someone is an act which is not nice. He did the right thing to attack Keimi? How come? If you reason logically then you can see, even Luffy being the idiot he is knew that an admiral would annihilate him and his crew. Now he put his life (which he does not care about that much) and the lives of 8 other trusty crew mates who had served him through thick and thin for just a new found acquaintance's liberty (sure his mates did not mind but he did not even bother to ask them, you may call it trust but such blind trust is not necessarily a good thing). It worked out for the sake of the story but the action it self can't be justified.

As for Akainu, he did not try to bring justice by killing his subordinates (not nakama, subordinates) he killed them to maintain the stability of the battle. If you have read history you would see that time and again even in the real world sacrifices had to be made to maintain regulation in a war and the world of One Piece is much more chaotic than real world is. How exactly is he blind? He is working for a certain faction and doing his best to preserve that factions status, that's not being blind. If you want to call someone blind Kizaru would somewhat suit that person for being clueless. I don't know if you have watched Rurouni Kenshin, Akainu has a personality very similar to Hajime Saito from there and he (Saito) was a very popular guy just because he was portrayed in a different way. Oda wanted us to hate Akainu as a villain and placed him in such a light, therefore he seem bad to us (as usual Oda did a great job) but if you just look at Akainu without being biased, he is just the type of person you need to keep the troubles in check. An enforcer should not be soft minded and unlike what you said Akainu is not entirely heartless, if he was then Aokiji would be dead. I did not make this blog to discuss the strength of Akainu I wanted to discuss his character. That's all, sorry for long and complex comment  Blackened D. Soul    Talk   19:17, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
