Since I have been farming a few copies to socket the legend version, I used the same team as posted above: 2xTS Luffy + Colo Apoo + Raid Boa + RR Capone + Invasion Shanks. The highest special CD is still Capone at 20.Since I don't really need HP, I went for Flying Dutchman ship for the extra EXP. Note that the raid is still hard and requires some finger olympic skills if you get bad cooldowns (WB forest helped me a lot to get these).

You should let boa and capone on the middle row to get one of them be swapped stage 3 as captain.

Stage 1: Kill everything before they attack except the elder turtle and the lobster. take one hit of each and finish them before taking another hit.

Stage 2: Kill the heal binding mob and the other mobs before they attack. If your friend TS Luffy is not ready (marking 2 to max), take a hit to get it ready.

Stage 3: Use your friend TS Luffy on 1 mob with lowest cooldown and attack with the other units. Focus on the front units as they are the hardest and can screw you if low cooldown.

Stage 4: Kill all units except the back canonneer before they attack. When it is his turn to a attack, he will skip his attack and despair your captain for 6 turns (3 if max anti despair sockets). I usually bring him to around 30% hp before he despairs me. Then, I attack with 1 unit (Shanks or Boa depending on his HP or any unit with a meat orb). Beware of not letting 1 meat orb on your QCK units as they would not be shuffled by akainu. When he is ready to attack, I finish him with Boa (then Shanks if needed).

Stage 5: Use all specials and attack with Boa (perfect), TS Luffy (perfect), Shanks (perfect). That should be enough to kill Akainu. If you have bad orbs on Boa/shanks, you can use Apoo after them to finish Akainu (but not the other TS Luffy). After he revives, just attack normally and clear.
