I was having a discussion with someone yesterday where they told me that Kizaru was not trying in his duel with Rayleigh. Is this a popular opinion? Do people actually think that someone would not try fighting against the Dark King? Why would an Admiral not try their hardest on a rescue mission involving the Celestial Dragons, isn’t that their job description? And why was Kizaru so butt hurt and angry at the end of the arc that he had to capture 500 pirates to calm down if he wasn’t trying?


Can someone explain to me how Kizaru was not trying his hardest against Rayleigh, I am confused.

Anyone saying that is either trolling or shouldn't be taken that seriously.

Kizaru actively tried to get past Rayleigh but couldn't. He got stopped in his tracks. Which was reiterated multiple times in the story as well.



No shame in that. No one in the verse is getting past Dark King Rayleigh easily, even in his old age.

its not looking so good bro :(

Come defend kizaru’s honor
No you had the right points, Kizaru was trying when they fought only with swords, he did not use his full arsenal, but not trying against the dark king raah while fighting in his style which is swordsmanship you're crazy
I Do rank prime ray above Mihawk, ray made a comment that he would only be able to help and fend off kizaru not defeat him
So im good

Ranged attacks would do nothing. If Rayleigh can react to close range attacks and can react to Kizaru travelling in his light mode, then no long range attack is doing anything. And Kizaru doesn’t care about collateral damage. Dude was destroying trees for no reason and gave his nephew permission to destroy some marine battleships. Kizaru “going all out” doesn’t change any outcome, except a few more trees getting destroyed.

Yes it would, It destoryed marcos barrier haki but due to his regen he healed from it
Marco got vapoerized but his regen saved him, just using barrier haki you are not safe, Rayleigh does not have the tori tori no mi

no he said this,

Kizaru “going all out” doesn’t change any outcome, except a few more trees getting destroyed
It would change the outcome of the fight, the point being sentemoru kuma vs SH, while kizaru stalls rayleigh enough to the point he gets tired, but unfortunately.
Kuma disobeyed, kizaru was trying but that wasn't his full power or arsenal
Also can I pull out the Mihawk V Vista excuse?
Kizaru not even paying attention to rayleigh
That means he clearly superior right? :myman:
Ok, back to the point, all kizaru attack are light-speed

A light man who consumed the pika pika no mi - Light fruit.
Kizaru can turn his body to light and can spam attacks at light speed.
Although Kizaru boasts overwhelming speed he speaks at a very comfortable/steady tone.
After observing Sakazuki’s “ruthless and thorough justice” and that which opposes it Kuzan’s “extremely laid-back/lazy justice”, he came up with his own “Not gonna use either justice” which gives him the most freedom and comfort, he adheres to instructions and carry’s out justice at his own pace.
He releases an infinite number of light bullets frontwards, It’s very efficient for blinding and attacking a large amount of enemies at once.
His ability is very effective for both evasion and movement, so it’s impossible to grasp even a single one of his movements without being a proficient Haki user.

Not exactly it was never shown however the anime did clarify that rogers left-hand man is stronger than the person that gives kaido ptsd
Kizaru>Rayleigh>Scoppero~>Oden
The anime also clarified that Oden took a quake punch way better than Akainu who was gushing his blood everywhere, and that was a way weaker version than the one that fought Kaido.

So we can say Rayleigh=Teen Marco>=Marco>=BM=Kaido>=Oden>>>>>>>Old Rayleigh >=Kizaru>=Akainu.

He wasn’t holding back but he certainly wasn’t using his strongest forms like awakening and such. Kizaru was fighting Rayleigh as hard as he could fight without wiping Shabondy off of the map.

Had Kizaru used his full destructive power, Rayleigh would’ve been killed in roughly 5 minutes, but countless innocents and property would’ve been destroyed as well.
