Kizaru doesn’t seek revenge, nor any passionate ideal.
And that means ripping through everyone that stands in his way.
And Kizaru is a prime example of that overwhelming might.
Now, years later, Luffy prepares to take on Kizaru on Egghead Island.
Luffy’s gotten much stronger since Sabaody, while Kizaru has remained a nightmarish force for the World Government.
Current Fleet Admiral Akainu wishes to implement “Absolute Justice” on everything in his purview.
Current admirals Fujitora and Ryokugyu are dedicated to the protection of humanity and domination, respectively.
But Kizaru remains remarkably laid back.
He isn’t irked by the rebellion of pirates, at least not visibly.
Very rarely does his voice waver out of a tired drawl.
This doesn’t change when confronted with past allegiances, deadly foes or uncertain odds.
Using his light powers, Kizaru dispenses of them without breaking a sweat.
Especially when it comes to Luffy.
Since the time Luffy first encountered Kizaru, his growth as a combatant has been plainly laid out.
It’s been a grueling trip marked by devastating losses (He was defeated by Kaido four times!)
Cut out in the infection of piracy and skedaddle.
The way the anime frames Kizaru’s powers often differs from the typical awe-inspiring manner.
Those in Sabaody had little time to stare in wonder before he began his operation.
By taking him on now, Luffy gets the rare chance to rectify what happened on Sabaody.
And when Bellamy re-emerges in Dressrosa, Luffy doesn’t want to have to hurt him again.
Kizaru, though, is a very physical representation of how far Luffy has come.
