    Are you kidding me? An unrestrained Akainu would make Stalin's dictatorship look like a walk in the park.

    Akainu has demonstrated Intelligence, initiative and resolve. His actions were in the best interest of the marines' objectives. In fact, he was the only one at Marineford who did his job properly. Sengoku even let Luffy free Ace from under his nose, while Kizaru and Aokiji were quite useless in the grand scheme of things. Wasn't the point of the whole point of the battle to make sure that Ace was executed and Whitebeard defeated?

    Additionally, he is also the strongest of the 3 admirals. In such an era of instability where pirates and dangerous criminals are running rampant, I would say Akainu is technically the better candidate. He ruthlessness is actually a pro rather than a con. At the same time, he doesnt seem like the guy who would start a fight with someone unless he knows he can win.

    Also, lets not forget that the marines exist solely for the sake of the World Government (who dont really have noble intentions, as we have seen). Akainu makes more sense as a Fleet Admiral.

    I don't believe people join the marines at all for that intention. Many of the marines join to pursue their own ideals of justice, whether or not they are aware that they are the world government's lap dogs. The reason Sengoku left in the first place was likely because he didn't agree with how the world government is trying to cover up certain recent incidents.

    I don't believe they join for that reason either. But thats just how it is right now. Sengoku did leave, didn't he? That shows he is no longer happy as a marine because he is being forced to go against his ideals.

    Yes I am, thats why I am saying he is picking favourites. In Sengoku's eyes, Aokiji is the better candidate because he will uphold the same ideals he values. But the fact remains that ultimately the marines receive their orders from the WG. I am not trying to morally defend the WG or Akainu. I just think that Akainu would act out on WG orders more effectively than Aokiji.

    He`s not picking favorites, Aokiji is better at taking control, Akainu is a blind rabid dog that can only bark "justice", as a leader he will fail, he will start asking people for things they can`t or aren`t willing to do and he will have no quarrel when it comes to doing dirty shit in public, wich will severelly decrease the WG public opinion, they *want* to be seen as the good guys right? Aokiji is less hotheaded and can take dessitions with a calmed mind, he may be lazy, but when he needs to do something he does it.

    Akainu is a magnificent soldier, a leader, he is not. Vote for Aokiji.

    I disagree. It takes more than a blind rabid dog to critically wound Whitebeard without even fighting him. Just because Akainu is a ruthless ass-hole doesn't mean he would make a bad leader.
