Borsalino

Borsalino, commonly recognized by his alias Kizaru, holds the esteemed rank of admiral within the Marine organization. Following Kuzan's departure from the Marines and Sakazuki's elevation to fleet admiral, Kizaru remains as the sole surviving admiral from the preceding triumvirate. Nico Robin's earliest reference to Kizaru occurred during the Straw Hat Pirates' initial encounter with Aokiji. His actions and involvements position Kizaru as a significant antagonist within various arcs. He plays a secondary antagonist role in the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, features as one of the primary antagonists during the Marineford Arc, and assumes a secondary antagonist position within the Egghead Arc.

Kizaru's formidable powers stem from his consumption of the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that grants him mastery over light manipulation. His abilities encompass the generation, control, and transformation of his corporeal form into light. Notable capabilities include swift movement at light speed, execution of lightning-fast kicks, projection of laser beams, and dazzling opponents with blinding light flashes. In offensive maneuvers, Kizaru employs his fingertips and foot soles to unleash potent laser beams capable of piercing flesh and triggering substantial heat-based explosions. His proficiency extends to a precise single-laser shot or an extensive gatling barrage of laser projectiles. By converting his body into light, Kizaru navigates battlefields at lightspeed, confounding adversaries unless they possess well-honed Kenbunshoku Haki. Manipulating his light essence, Kizaru instantaneously alters his positioning across the battleground. Further innovation involves projecting a light beam that serves as his pathway, enabling him to traverse a straight-line trajectory and ricochet off mirrored surfaces, facilitating zigzag movement. Kizaru amplifies the impact of his close-quarters combat through acceleration to lightspeed. Rapid leg movement intensifies the force and momentum of his kicks, resulting in devastating blows capable of inflicting substantial harm. Beyond his luminous arsenal, Kizaru employs his light-based abilities for tactical advantage. He immobilizes and dazzles opponents through intense bursts of light and molds light into a substantial sword form, suitable for melee combat against sword-wielding adversaries. Embarking on a mission, Borsalino embarks on a journey to Egghead. Upon learning of Vegapunk's alignment with the Straw Hat Pirates to exit the island, Kizaru swiftly asserts that leniency will not be granted. He orders Marine ships to converge on Egghead according to the established plan. At the shores of Egghead, Kizaru decisively destroys a Sea Beast Weapon, eliciting concern from Sentomaru due to property damage. Engaging in a Den Den Mushi exchange with Sentomaru, Kizaru defends his actions, citing the hostile nature of the weapons. Their discourse briefly touches upon Kizaru's historical connection with Vegapunk and the development of Pacifista's laser technology, leading to Sentomaru's disappointment. The narrative unfolds as Kizaru navigates intricate communication methods, including the enigmatic black Den Den Mushi. Amidst the unfolding events, he receives an astonishing call from York to the Five Elders, provoking shock and perplexity in response to her message.
