Over the years, Eiichiro Oda has created many iconic arcs for One Piece. From the Water 7 arc to the Egghead Island arc, there are fascinating characters and stories. However, there is one saga that is considered the greatest of all to date.
The Marineford arc is considered the pinnacle of this Shonen series. It introduces the powerful Whitebeard Pirates declaring an all-out war against the navy to rescue Portgas D. Ace from his cruel fate. This arc has many secrets, including the fact that Ace is the son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger.
However, there is another secret that Oda-sensei keeps hidden, which many fans have not noticed. The secret revolves around the related pasts of Admiral Sakazuki and the leader of the Dragon Ball Revolutionary Army.
Eiichiro Oda foreshadows the connection between Akainu and Dragon in One Piece
It cannot be denied that the appeal of the Marineford arc is strong enough to convince viewers to become fans of Eiichiro Oda and his masterpiece. The story is a perfect combination of an impromptu family reunion, an epic battle between a Yonko and the marines, and the sadness of death after Ace is murdered by the Admiral.
Almost every fan was drawn to experience firsthand the earth-shattering power that a Yonko possesses. As a result, everyone failed to notice how Oda-Sensei implied Akainu had a grudge against Monkey D. Dragon. This is evident in the way the admiral addresses the captain of the Straw Hat pirates.
Recently, a famous content creator, GrandLineReview, uploaded a video on his YouTube channel in which he talked about 21 things that fans didn't realize in Paramount War. The creator said that “Sakazuki never lost his memories”, and “he's one of those characters who knows how to hold a 'grudge' quite well.”
This person pointed out that Akainu never called “Luffy Luffy” and always called him “son of Dragon”. This strongly implies that there is a history between Akainu and Dragon Ball that Eiichiro Oda has yet to tell. Another reason why this person believes so is because Akainu does not call Ace by a name like “Roger's son”. Akainu himself is also determined to take Luffy's life.

One Piece fans were surprised that amidst all the chaos, they didn't notice this detail. GrandLineReview's perspective was extremely unique, as everyone was in a state of shock after they believed their favorite character had avoided his cruel fate.
This review received positive comments from fans, some giving their opinions on Sakazuki and Dragon, while others praised the Marineford arc. They found one more reason to call the Marineford War arc their favorite saga in the entire series.

“The connection between Dragon and Akainu is quite clear. Dragon is a former marine who quit due to injustice and has started (or joined) the revolutionary army. Meanwhile, Akainu continues to act in the name of justice. reason as a navy.”, another person expressed.
However, the connection between these two makes fans wonder when Luffy and his brother's murderer will face each other again. More importantly, they were curious to know about the event that connected the two in the first place.
