Un! Ace and Luffy and Sabo. The best brothers in any world! The only people I would accept as captains!

[ definitely has been influenced by ace, this one here. whether for better or worse, who knows? but at least he is 110% confident in his statement, regardless of never meeting two of them...

And only recently learning about Sabo's existence.

That's only a minor issue though. totally no big deal!

And Akito can't help but be thankful for Zoro's presence in their lives, because without it he wouldn't know how to deflect a saber, or have his ko-wakizashi on hand to deflect it with. He knows he has very little in the way of brute strength, and therefore he uses his enemy's momentum against them, trusting the strength of his one-of-a-kind alloy blade. it practically hums, and sends faint vibrations through the opposing saber.

He really, really wishes that the katana he was working on was finished by now. the extra length would have been nice for added defense.. ]

I will get there someday. Only after I'm seventeen and can be an asset to Luffy-nii instead of a hindrance.
