The theory regarding Akainu supporting SWORD, a secret special force within the Navy, first emerged in One Piece chapter 592 when Akainu was tending to his territory. At that time, Kizaru was holding a sword and looking at a tree with fascination while he was fighting, to engrave a tattoo on his own body.
There is a tattoo that has caught everyone’s attention, which depicts a sword on the arm of a mysterious girl, who is believed to be Akainu’s daughter. Furthermore, the relationship between Kizaru and Hibari, one of the members of SWORD, is also a focal point, as they share a number of similarities.
The newly released Vivre Card has revealed information about Hibari, a mysterious girl who has the same blood type and origin as Akainu. Vivre Cards serve as useful reference pages in a One Piece data book, documenting significant events related to specific characters.
A One Piece fan account on Twitter shared: “The more information is revealed, the more there is a basis to confirm the theory that Hibari is Akainu’s daughter.”
– Both of them are famous in Japan, specifically from Hiroshima (only two individuals are known in the entire One Piece world).
– Both of them are of North Blue origin.
– Both of them have blood type F.
Fans have plenty of speculation surrounding this revelation, as almost everyone is trying to understand Akainu’s potential future role, while others believe these common points are just coincidental.
One speculation states: “Akainu is the secret leader of SWORD. No one has ever dared to question the main government, as there are no plans to abolish it due to legality… Aokiji is standing firm. The arms dealt with the government are now broken. Kizaru gave Luffy a hint that was much more obvious.”
“My point is that having the same blood type is not significant at all. A child may have a different blood type from their parents,” another person speculated.
There are also those who argue: “This will strongly support the theory that Akainu is the one who created SWORD as a means to circumvent the government’s orders.”
Although the manga has not yet clarified this matter, the information provided in the Vivre Card has sufficiently connected the events. However, currently, this remains just a theory, and the manga may clarify this further in the future.
