Breaking News: Explosive Showdown - Luffy's Epic Battle with Admiral Kizaru Reaches Unprecedented Heights in One Piece Chapter 1094!

Following the release of chapter 1093, One Piece will be taking a one-week break, much to the disappointment of fans. This hiatus couldn't have come at a worse time, as the intense battles between the Straw Hat crew's Luffy and Zoro against Borsalino "Kizaru" and Rob Lucci are reaching a crucial point. This has left fans anxiously awaiting the next developments.

Looking back two years in the storyline, Kizaru had effortlessly overwhelmed the Straw Hat Pirates, and it was only thanks to Silvers Rayleigh's intervention that the crew was saved from total destruction. Kizaru had also previoulsy thwarted Luffy's attempts to free Ace in Marineford. However, the situation has changed drastically since then, and Luffy is now a force to be reckoned with.

Upon awakening his powers as the heir of "Sun God" Nika and unlocking the advanced versions of all three types of Haki, including the Color of Conqueror, Luffy transformed into a Yonko-level combatant and successfully defeated Kaido. However, Kizaru has proven to be a formidable opponent, making their battle truly exhilarating.

The Unyielding Challenge.

The "Light Human" Kizaru could turn himself into a living nuke to fight Gear 5 Luffy in the next One Piece chapters

Despite the stakes, Luffy vs Kizaru is a mix of trolling and seriousness

The recent chapters of One Piece showcase some thrilling fight scenes. Eiichiro Oda's masterful storytelling skillfully incorporates the cartoonish elements of Luffy's Gear 5 form, seamlessly blending them with Kizaru's humorous demeanor. Remarkably, Oda ensures that both parties are portrayed favorably, avoiding a situation where either character is backed into a corner.

Kizaru demonstrated his clear dominance over Luffy's Gear 4 form, prompting Luffy to activate Gear 5. With his most powerful transformation, the young pirate appears to be able to keep up with the Admiral. It should be noted that Luffy is still holding back his Advanced Conqueror's Haki, which he supposedly used at the beginning of the battle.

Similarly, Kizaru appears relaxed and has yet to reveal his true abilities. Despite being fully aware that Luffy is the one who defeated Kaido, he showed no sign of concern while battling Luffy. Perhaps when Luffy starts to exert his full strength, Kizaru will unleash the Awakening of his Glint-Glint Fruit.

The anticipation among One Piece fans reaches its peak as they eagerly await the ultimate clash between Kizaru, an Awakened Logia, and the extraordinary powers of "Sun God" Nika. While there hasn't been an official confirmation of Kizaru's ability to perform Devil Fruit Awakening, it is highly likely that he possesses this formidable skill.

Given Kizaru's exceptional power and extraordinary proficiency demonstrated with the Glint-Glint Fruit, a Logia-class ability that grants him the status of a "Light Human," it would be more astonishing if he were not an Awakened user, rather than the contrary.

With the Glint-Glint Fruit, Kizaru possesses the capability to generate and manipulate light. He can assume the form of this element, enabling him to move and strike with unparalleled speed, comparable to the swiftness of light itself. Furthermore, Kizaru augments the force and impact of his physical attacks with tremendous momentum and weight.

Kizaru, known for his devastating laser beams, possesses unparalleled precision in their implementation. Furthermore, he possesses the ability to summon the mighty Ama no Murakumo Sword, which he wields with remarkable proficiency, enabling him to engage in fierce duels on par with the likes of the esteemed swordsman, Silvers Rayleigh.

Using the incredible versatility of the Glint-Glint Fruit, Kizaru effortlessly defends against Luffy's attacks. Despite the impressive speed and unpredictability of Luffy's Gear 4 Snakeman form, the Admiral effortlessly blocks all of his strikes. With overwhelming force, Kizaru then delivers a devastatingly powerful and momentum-enhanced kick, overpowering the pirate.

In a desperate attempt, Luffy activates Gear 5 and enlarges his body in order to grab Kizaru and throw him into the sea. However, unfazed by this maneuver, the Admiral utilizes the incredible abilities of the Glint-Glint Fruit to transform his body into photons and quickly escape at the speed of light.

Kizaru utilized a unique variation of his Yasakani no Magatama technique to produce replicas of himself using the light particles he generated. These luminous clones, armed with the mighty Ama no Murakumo Sword, launched a relentless assault on Luffy, inflicting injuries.

Luffy effortlessly defeated the light clones with his powerful Gum-Gum Dawn Stamp attack, although they were just a distraction orchestrated by Kizaru. The Admiral had a cunning plan to target the renowned scientist Dr. Vegapunk, yet instead of taking advantage of Luffy's vulnerable state, he used it as an opportunity to seize his true objective. However, just as Kizaru's laser was on the verge of striking Vegapunk, Luffy arrived in the nick of time, coming to the rescue of Atlas, Sanji, and Franky who were inside the VegaTank vehicle, and skillfully redirected the attack.

Kizaru's Awakening will be nothing short than destructive

Despite the incredible "power of imagination" possessed by Gear 5, Luffy managed to devour the beam of light, effectively shielding Vegapunk and the others from the relentless attack unleashed by Kizaru. However, this awe-inspiring feat only served to highlight the Admiral's unquestionable control over the battle, as his primary objective remained the assassination of Vegapunk rather than engaging in a fierce fight against Luffy.

Beyond lasers and super speed, Kizaru's arsenal extends to other remarkable abilities, as depicted in the image by Toei Animation from the anime series One Piece. The clash between Kizaru, utilizing the awe-inspiring techniques of the Glint-Glint Fruit, and Luffy, wielding the reality-altering capabilities of his Gear 5 form, engenders a captivating and intense battle.

Contrary to expectations, Kizaru is proving to be a highly formidable opponent for Luffy, adding an addictive and unpredictable element to their confrontation. Despite not exerting his full effort, the Admiral is challenging Luffy and proving to be worth every bit of the fight. With his speed, power, and versatility, Kizaru has the potential to surpass even the mighty Kaido. This achievement would be truly astounding, considering the exceptional combat skills possessed by the Beasts Pirates' leader.

Luffy has yet to unleash his full power against Kizaru, similar to his confrontation with Kaido. However, it's worth noting that the Admiral is also restraining himself. If Kizaru can effectively handle a fully unleashed Gear 5 Luffy, it would be impossible to ignore his strength, potentially surpassing that of even the formidable former Emperor, Kaido.

The upcoming chapters of One Piece will provide the ultimate answer, but one thing is certain: Kizaru has yet to unleash the full power of his abilities, strongly suggesting that he possesses the Awakening of the Glint-Glint Fruit. It is highly probable that he will utilize this power during the critical phase of the battle.

Being a Logia that transforms its wielder into a Light Human, the Glint-Glint Fruit is already an immensely intimidating asset. Once awakened, it has the potential to surpass even the speed of light, effectively transforming Kizaru into a character resembling Flash.

Kizaru has the remarkable ability to harness the energy of light photons emanating from the sun, allowing him to enhance his own powers to such an extent that he gains control over the manipulation of time itself. This enables him to launch attacks with astonishing precision, either in the future or in the past, offering him an extensive array of strategic advantages.

It is important to mention that light is a form of energy. This implies that if one were to have full control over light, there is a potential for Kizaru to utilize nuclear fission to split atoms apart. Although it seems unlikely that One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda would grant Kizaru such an extraordinary power, the hypothetical scenario of the Admiral's Logia Awakening could possibly enable him to generate nuclear explosions.

Undoubtedly, the capabilities of the Glint-Glint Fruit have boundless possibilities. At this point, pure speculation surrounds its untapped potential. However, the remarkable display witnessed in Punk Hazard by Kizaru's fellow Admirals serves as a vivid testament to the mind-boggling power possessed by the original trio's Logia Fruits.

After engaging in a fierce ten-day battle, Sakazuki "Akainu" emerged victorious over Kuzan "Aokiji" to claim the title of the next Fleet Admiral. However, despite his victory, Akainu displayed an unexpected act of mercy by granting Aokiji the opportunity to depart. Notably, the Devil Fruit abilities of both Admirals had a lasting impact on the island of Punk Hazard where their epic clash took place.

The Logias of Aokiji and Akainu had a profound and lasting impact on Punk Hazard, as depicted in this image from Toei Animation's One Piece.

Akainu's Mag-Mag Fruit transformed half of the island into a searing volcanic wasteland, with molten lava flowing freely and filling the air with intense heat.

Meanwhile, Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit caused the other half of the island to be enveloped in eternal frost, creating a frozen landscape of icy coldness.

Punk Hazard was forever altered, with one side burning and the other frozen, thanks to the incredible powers of these two Logia users.

After Akainu became Fleet Admiral and Aokiji left the Navy, Borsalino "Kizaru" is now the only remaining member of the original Color Trio who has managed to retain his position as a Marine Admiral. Representing the World Government, Kizaru is poised to unleash unimaginable havoc on Egghead using his incredibly powerful Devil Fruit abilities, which are considered the most destructive seen in the One Piece series to date.
