==Summary==
Real name Sakazuki, Akainu is a Fleet Admiral, the head of the Marine force of World Government. Akainu is apparently the most hardline of the Marines, following the doctrine of Absolute Justice. During the destruction of Ohara, he destroyed an evacuee ship on the chance that one of their targets was aboard, saying that if one is to do a job it must be done properly. He has eaten the Magma-Magma Fruit (Magu Magu no Mi), a Logia Devil Fruit based around magma.
During the two years that Luffy was training, he battled Aokiji for the rank of Fleet Admiral and won. He then moved the Marine HQ to the east coast of the Red Line to put more Marine presence in the New World.

He also showed to be superior to JinbeOne Piece Vol. 59 Chapter 578. Sakazuki was able to clash Busōshoku with Marineford Whitebeard, and could also deal severe injuries to Kuzan, which likely needed Busōshoku to do. Intermediate Kenbunshoku; Sakazuki's Kenbunshoku Haki was shown to be relative to Borsalino and Kuzan's when they were all able to sense the Whitebeard Pirates at the exact same timeOne Piece Vol. 56 Chapter 551. Due to being the Fleet Admiral, his Kenbunshoku should be at least as good as Issho's and superior to Koby's)

Sakazuki's Devil Fruit is a Logia Type that allows him to become, produce, and manipulate magmaOne Piece Vol. 58 Chapter 568. Due to being made of magma, Sakazuki can't be hurt conventionallyOne Piece Vol. 58 Chapter 566. The only ways to counter his intangibility are by using Haki, the element's natural counter,One Piece Road to Laughtale Databook Vol. 3 or some type of durability negation)
*Regeneration (Low-High - Sakazuki's Devil Fruit allows him to regenerate from virtually any damage as long as his true body is not hit)
*Passive Extreme Heat, Weather Manipulation, and Earth Manipulation (28000ºC - The heat coming off Sakazuki's body has been shown to vaporize steel weapons around himOne Piece Vol. 59 Chapter 575 and he can permanently change the climate of an entire island by simply just going all outOne Piece Vol. 67 Chapter 661)

Was favored by higher-ups in the World Government to lead the Navy as Fleet Admiral over Kuzan and after taking control was able to bring it to heights greater than beforeOne Piece Vol. 66 Chapter 650)
*Likely Flight (Pseudo), Statistics Amplification (Durability and Speed), Body Control and Damage Reduction, and Air Manipulation with Rokushiki (As a high-ranking official in the Navy, Sakazuki was likely trained in Rokushiki just like the Vice Admirals and Koby)

Resistance to: 
*Extreme Heat and Magma Manipulation (All Logias are resistant to their respective elements)
*Madness Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation via Willpower (Through sheer willpower they can resist losing their mind when absorbing shadows through the Kage Kage no Mi. Shadows belonging to strong willed people are difficult to control, allowing them to rebel against Moria's pact which usually immediately submits a shadow to his supremacy and orders. Spiritual energy is contained within one's soul/life; this energy is represented by the fighting power or the Haki itself. Those with strong souls, which are homologous to shadows, resist the effects of Brook's soul manipulation)
Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level (His Devil Fruit has been stated to have the Highest Offensive Power of all Devil Fruits, which would make him superior to Whitebeard's's Gura Gura no Mi. Was feared by Blackbeard, even after having gained Whitebeard's powers. Clashed back and forth with a weakened Whitebeard. Superior to Kizaru4.56 Petatons, possibly 67.2 Exatons), though his magma can bypass durability to an extent as it can vaporize flesh and bone upon contact (Burned a hole into Whitebeard's chest and later vaporized part of his head upon touching it) | Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level+ (Should be relative to Kuzan. After the timeskip, took the rank of Fleet Admiral, which should make him superior to Kizaru18.24 Petatons, possibly 268.8 Exatons)
Speed: FTL+ (Reacted to Marco's attack) | FTL+ (Relative to Kuzan)
Lifting Strength: Class E (Although he is physically weaker, he could hold back a two-handed swing of Whitebeard’s large naginata by using a single leg) | Class E
Striking Strength: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level (His attacks consist mostly of punches) | Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level+
Durability: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level (Could withstand hits from Whitebeard) | Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level+
Stamina: Superhuman (Capable of withstanding attacks from Whitebeard that left him wounded and could continue fighting against all of the Whitebeard Commanders while maintaining the upper-hand. He was the last man standing in his one-on-one confrontation with Aokiji, which lasted 10 days and left both severely wounded)
Range: Extended Melee Range, Kilometers with Magu Magu no Mi (Can shoot fists of magma high into the sky, which then rain down on the battlefield in the form of meteors)
Standard Equipment: As an Admiral, he has a Den-Den Mushi (telephone) on his wrist which he uses to communicate with other marine and World Government forces, or to summon a Buster Call.
Intelligence: Gifted (As the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Sakazuki is an extremely accomplished fighter, and he has been a Marine Admiral for 20 years, with abundant battle experience. A very skilled mind manipulator)
Weaknesses: Standard Devil Fruit users weaknesses. His regeneration is limited to his logia body only (Similar to Kuzan).
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Haki: There are normally two types of Haki regular people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busōshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is however a third type of Haki, Haōshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use. It is currently unknown if Akainu is one of these people.
*Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): Akainu's level of application with this type of Haki is unknown, but he was capable of negating the effects of other Haki users from affecting his Logia body. He is also subtly implied to be a user of Goken, seeing as how he and the other 2 Admirals put up a wall to block one of Whitebeard's quakes. He should thus be at least highly proficient, if not an advanced user of this form of Haki.
*Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation): Akainu is a confirmed user of Kenbunshoku, but his level of application is never explored. He should at least be an adept, if not highly proficient user of the ability.
Magu Magu no Mi (Magma-Magma Fruit): A Logia type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create, control, and transform into magma at will, turning the user into a Magma Human. The main strength of this Devil Fruit is that it allows Akainu to produce magma to attack his opponents and also allows him to avoid conventional attacks as they only disperse him in his elemental state. The intense heat can vaporize an iceberg instantly and boil the seawater that the magma lands in. With this power running for a ten-day battle, it was strong enough to change the weather of one half of an island into a blazing inferno.
*Dai Funka (Great Eruption): Akainu's signature technique, he transforms his fists into pure lava before throwing it forward, like an over-sized rocket (similar to Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol or Ace's Hiken). The explosion causes volcanic rock to hit the ground, in a method similar to meteors.
*Ryusei Kazan (Meteor Volcano): Akainu creates a great number of magma fists that he fires into the air to let them rain down upon the battlefield, causing enormous amounts of area damage. This looks like a cross between a meteor shower and a volcanic eruption.
*Meigo (Hellhound): Akainu transforms his hand into magma and lashes out at the opponent with a claw-thrust.
*Inugami Guren (Hound Blaze): Akainu creates a wave of magma, shaped like a dog's head, and launches it against his opponent.
