AGENDA MERCHANTS ASSEMBLE
Kizaru was one shotted by Luffy. It’s not a knock out but it definitely put his ass flat on the ground, FROM ONE HIT
CALM DOWN CALM DOWN. THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
I made a thread a while back asking the question, “Does haki weaken when the fighter doesn’t want to fight?” If haki is willpower and you don’t have the will to fight, then how does that not affect your haki
Kizaru is fighting to kill Vegapunk. We know for a fact he doesn’t want to do this. He’s is visibly conflicted. Is his will at max capacity trying to murder his old friend? How does his lack of will affect his haki?
Then again, A TOP TIER GOT LAID OUT IN ONE HIT… It’s not an official win of course but if one hit from Luffy is fucking up an admiral like this, then imagine two hits? Three hits? Four hits?
I also made a thread a while back saying Oda intentionally doesn’t want Kizaru to get hit by AdvCoC because it would ROCK HIS SHIT. And I was right.
Luffy is stronger than this Kizaru. Plain and simple. It’s possible that this Kizaru is nerfed by not having the willpower to actually fight to kill his friend. That’s possible and probably likely as even Saturn is surprised by Kizaru’s lackluster performance. But as it stands, Luffy is categorically stronger than what ever version of Kizaru this is. Whether you think this is nerfed Kizaru or peak performance Kizaru or all out kizaru (meaning he doesn’t have an awakening, this is him going all out)
