Its even more unfortunate when you realize his DF power is probably the least destructive among the current admirals, and yet he still feels held back
Had it been Akainu, Fuji, or GB here instead, it would be virtually impossible for them to fight without destroying something
Kizaru on the other hand is light, he can just shoot laser beams which are precise and accurate enough to not cause collateral damage.
Doing only that though limits his fighting style and nerfs him. Big AoE attacks do matter, especially when you're dealing with a lot of opponents (i.e a yonko crew...)
