Lmao I knew Kizaru was holding back due to his fondness for Sentomaru. But you know, we're just "making excuses" for the Admirals and they're just inhuman killing machines with no free will, no empathy/compassion and thus humanity etc.
It amazes me how so many Admiral downplayers miss all the nuance with the Admirals that Oda has been reinforcing since Aokiji first appeared and once again when they appear in later arcs.
Kuzan/Aokiji and especially Fujitora as well as Film Z showed how humane and surprisingly compassionate, moral, benevolent some of the Admirals can be at least.
Hell Oda has even been implying Akainu has both tragic and tender sides to him, he's not just a militaristic, dogma obsessed, brainwashed brute or dog.
But you know subtlety be damned.
Oda loves making a lot of his antagonists nuanced and like with some of Narutos, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Yu Yu Hakusho etc it works to great effect.
The Admirals are widely misunderstood and misinterpreted, its sad.
One of the best parts of One Piece is Oda really playing on multiple perspectives and showing gray areas to most characters at least. Even the most virtuous and the most scummy characters can have opposing traits to who they mostly are.
