Ya'll just not reading what I said huh.
If Oda wanted to show Luffy was >>>>>> Kizaru, then this was a terrible way of showing it. Like I said, Bellamy got a more memorable event with a double spread (twice no less). Kizaru is distracted on VP, then his defeat putters on 2/3s of a page.
Its not remotely similar, it just feels like a waste of time. Then defeating a Gorosei now (who now is apparently stronger than Kizaru, sure), what does that say about Akainu, Shanks or Blackbeard?
I would be worried about their "portrayal" just like Kizaru if Kizaru just loses in 1 hit. that wasnt even a doublespread.
