He has a lot of offensive power, but there are some major threats to him in turn. Itachi hits him with a tsukiyomi. Hidan gets a single drop of his blood, then gets hit by him. I presume he's highly poison-resistant but breathing in some of Sasori's stuff will still probably slow him down some. Tobi can potentially space-warp him away. Pain has attacks that'll do damage.
They lose a big chunk of their membership, but they can take him.
Whitebeard could literally kill all of them but Madara the very moment the fight starts.
Fight starts.
Whitebeard slams his fist against thin air. Sasori is blown to pieces, Deidara is dead, Hidan is very much incapacitated and Kakuzu has a bad case of the no longer livings, meaning Hidan is pretty screwed. Itachi will be loloneshotted so easily it is not even funny, Kisame MAY still be a live, but is is no condition to be fighting. Konan... Yeah. Zetsu is blown apart. All or most of Pain's bodies are now dead. Madara, seeing the entire organisation he built from scratch instantly annihilated, shits himself and teleports away.
Also, Tsukiyomi? Really? After all he went through in Marineford, Tsukiyomi would be nothing to him.
WB flexes his haki like Rayleigh did at the auction house, quakes their heads off, and bfrs their decapitated bodies with a single swipe of his bisento, all under 5 seconds...
It sure functions like an explosion when he actively directs it on someone, like Aokiji. Also, Marineford had thousands of people in it, many of whom are stronger than any of Akatsuki.
Where are their starting positions? Whitebeard's quakes also travel incredibly fast, reaching the seafloor almost instantly.
Okay, first of all, it is not a city buster, it was a village buster, Konoha is not a city. And both of those, Deidara's explosion in particular, would injure or kill nearly everyone in their team, and one would make Pain basically useless the rest of the fight, the other would kill Deidara. And Whitebeard will survive. He survived one of Akainu's magma fists to the face.
Yes, on a direct hit that person is pwned, but that's the target-only, not the spreading shockwave which is less dangerous.
If he hits any Akatsuki, they're dead, but he's not going to get the whole team. They're still plenty superhumanly tough to weather the shockwaves.
I wouldn't say many of them are stronger than any Akatsuki. The Shichibukai, Admirals, and top division commanders, maybe a few others, but the Akatsuki are stronger than a lot of the rest (and I'd say the top Akatsuki are stronger than some of those too, like Moria).
Definitely stronger than most of the pirates and Marines there.
But when they're doing that, they're just shockwaves through the ground, no Akatsuki will die from that.
Starting positions... hm, if the sides start a fairly standard 10km apart, the Akatsuki'll split up fast and probably get some distance (maybe a few KM from each other) since several of them work best with space (Kakuzu, Deidara). Deidara'd almost certainly take to the air.
He'd be in quite bad shape after being hit by either, though. Or how about the nano bombs? Hurt him from the inside out. He's also got bomb he used against Suna, which while it wouldn't kill, would inflict solid damage.
There's also Amaterasu, which is pretty similar to what Akainu does.
The Akatsuki's best bet is Itachi using Amateratsu: not to be confused by the wimpy one Sasuke uses. I'm not sure about Deva path but a good o'l quake should take care of pretty much everyone. Either that or haki.
Konan should be swapped with Orochimaru; I'm not sure how it would help though.
It is worth remembering that the high ranks are utterly terrifying to normal pirates, even ones with some rep and big bounties. The top pirates in the world are supreme badasses.
I think people are underestimating just how physically tough the high-end ninja are too, they can take a good amount of damage. The quake shockwaves won't be taking them down, though direct hits will.
Whitebeard did take damage from a strong guy with a sword in return, so it's not like they can't hurt him.
And if they can get some blood, give it to Hidan, get Whitebeard to hit him at full power...
Konan's pretty useful. She's the only one who won't even be hurt by shockwaves, only Haki hits.
Orochimaru's extendo-sword could likely cause some pain, it's apparently pretty special. Hm, those giant metal gates could provide some... very temporary protection. Also, even if he's ripped in half with a blow, he can regen that and keep contributing to the fight.
Turning into an 8-headed giant snake would probably be bad move, though, save as a distraction.
