Oda gives a major clue about Akainu's secret child

This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Final Saga.

Key things

• Akainu could be the only Marine with a child, potentially linking him to a new SWORD member.
• Hibari, implied to be Akainu's daughter, shares the Hiroshima dialect and ancestry with him.
• Hibari's strong connection to Akainu is supported by shared details on the Vivre cards, suggesting a relationship.

Akainu is one of the biggest antagonists in One piece and certainly a very important character, especially in the Final Saga story. Oda saved Akainu for this particular segment of the plot, and it goes without saying that he moves the story forward in many exciting ways in the Final Saga, as he is one of the main antagonists that will inevitably come into play. Luffy's journey even when he becomes the pirate king.

He is easily one of the strongest in the world, as recently confirmed in the Vivre cards, and of course many fans have assumed this before. When it comes to Akainu, all attention is usually centered around him. However, Akainu may even have a secret child that fans know very little about. This child was first hinted at around the beginning of the Final Saga, and now there is a real possibility that this child will become more prevalent in the series. In the latest set of Vivre Cards, Oda once again mentioned Akainu's daughter and fans are incredibly excited to see if this becomes a reality or not.

Akainu's secret child hinted at in one piece

• Akainu may be the only sailor with a child
• Akainu's daughter could be part of the SWORD

Avid readers or watchers One piece he might have been confused by where exactly Oda hinted that Akainu even had a child. This is quite natural as this hint is more difficult to translate and often gets lost in translation. Even the most astute readers might not understand this unless they also understand Japanese. At the start of the Egghead Island Arc, Oda introduced a bunch of exciting characters, and one of them seems to have a potential connection to none other than Fleet Admiral Sakazuki. It would also make sense for Akainu to have a child given that he is quite old. Of course, Akainu is prevented from taking care of his potential child by his duty, but fans don't know much about that, at least for now.

I've come to save you, Koby-senpai! – Hibari

Going back to the secret child Akainu, One Piece's Egghead Island Arc introduced fans to a lot of new SWORD members. Before the Final Saga, the only two people that fans knew were operating in SWORD were X Drake and Koby. However, in the Final Saga, fans will be introduced to Prince Grus, Kujaku, and Hibari. It is none other than Hibari who is hinted as Akainu's own daughter in One Piece. Although it might surprise fans, the fact is that Hibari speaks Japanese in a very unique way. Hibari appears to speak a Hiroshima dialect, which is very rare in One Piece. In fact, there is only one other character in all of One Piece who uses the Hiroshima dialect, and that is none other than Akainu. It's clear that the fact that only these two individuals use the Hiroshima dialect in One Piece means that there is a connection between them, and when you think about it, the easiest connection here would be that Hibari is Akainu's daughter.

That's enough of a basis for the idea to make sense. But that's not all. Many of the members of the sword that fans have seen so far have connections to the former Marine, with the exception of Koby and Prince Grus. For example, Helmeppo had his own father in the Marine Corps. Similarly, X Drake's father, Diez Barrels, was also in the Marines. Kujaku's grandmother is none other than Tsuru, leading many fans to believe that Prince Grus probably also has a connection to the Navy and that Hibari is none other than Akainu's daughter. It would be interesting to see if this idea comes to fruition or not.

Oda reveals information about Hibari of the Marines

Hibari has more in common with Akainu than just dialect

While the fact that both Hibari and Akainu use the same dialect is strong enough for this stall idea, it's not all. Oda recently revealed a Vivre Card deck that went through SWORD members.

Here he revealed another exciting detail that basically confirms to fans that Hibari and Sakazuki have a very strong connection. While not every fan will get this detail, it's exciting to say the least. Vivre cards usually go over general facts about various characters, such as their name, blood type, sea of ​​origin, and the type of Haki they wield, among other things. Here, Oda revealed quite a bit of exciting information about Hibari. For example, Hibari's sea of ​​origin was revealed to be the Northern Blue. Of course, this alone isn't enough to make a connection, however, looking at Akainu's card, it is clearly stated that his sea of ​​origin is also the North Blue, which is very interesting.

I won't let any pirates get away!! – Akainu

Now fans may think this is another coincidence, but then one looks at Hibari's blood type which is revealed to be F, and again, Akainu's blood type is also F. So all things considered, Akainu and Hibari they have the same blood type and also come from the same sea. Moreover, these two characters are the only two individuals in the whole One piece a world that is made up of thousands and thousands of characters to have a Hiroshima dialect, and all things considered, it's basically confirmation of the fact that the two are related.

Is Hibari Akainu's daughter?

Hibari and Akainu's connection is very strong

As for how they would be related, it cannot be said for sure, but the most likely outcome is that Hibari is Akainu's own daughter. Naturally, fans don't usually expect a character like Akainu to have a child. After all, none of the naval admirals that have been introduced to fans seem to have children. Kuzan seems to be single and single at the moment and the same can be said for Kizaru. There is no indication that the two ever married or had children. Akainu's main hints are that he has a child, implying that he is married. When it comes to his relationship with Hibari, fans don't know much, but the fact that he's in the SWORDS faction of the marines seems to indicate that he took after his father in wanting to bring justice to the pirates.

This means that Hibari is the exact opposite of her potential father. Unlike Akainu, Hibari is not cruel. In fact, he doesn't even use cruel methods when fighting. Her weapon as seen in the story so far is the vegapunks GP Gun. With this weapon, he can disable his opponents armor and basically cripple them in battle. That's not all, as Hibari can also use Armament and Observation Haki. She is incredibly powerful and her Cross Guild bounty has been put at an impressive 200 million berries. Hopefully fans will see more of her in the future and it will be confirmed if she is indeed Akainu's daughter or not.
