Unraveling the Secrets of Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi in One Piece

Highlights

One of the most formidable characters in One Piece is Kizaru, who is also recognized as Borsalino. He possesses the incredible Pika Pika no Mi Devil Fruit, granting him the power to transform into pure light and control it with ease.

Kizaru has shown his incredible strength by effortlessly defeating formidable pirates and engaging in battles against the renowned Marco and Whitebeard during the Paramount War.

Speculations have arisen suggesting that Kizaru might have achieved an Awakening of his Devil Fruit, thereby amplifying his already formidable power and rendering the Pika Pika no Mi even more overwhelming. The full extent of this Devil Fruit's capabilities will be unveiled in the upcoming Egghead Island Arc.

Kizaru, one of the most powerful characters in the world of One Piece, is heavily featured in the current story arc, Egghead Island. As the leader of a 100-ship fleet, he has set out to wage war against the Straw Hat Pirates and Vegapunk, aiming to obliterate them completely. Fueling Kizaru's formidable abilities is his unique Devil Fruit called the Pika Pika no Mi.

Introduced long before the timeskip in One Piece, this Devil Fruit has captivated fans with its immense power. Now, with Kizaru taking center stage, readers are about to witness the full extent of this Devil Fruit's capabilities in the upcoming chapters. There is an abundance of potential and excitement surrounding what this Devil Fruit can offer.

Who Is Kizaru?

Borsalino, known as Kizaru, holds the esteemed position of Admiral in the Navy and is considered one of the most influential figures in the One Piece world. With exceptional powers, Kizaru serves as the World Government's strongest military asset. Introduced to fans during the Sabaody Archipelago arc, he demonstrated his immense strength by effortlessly defeating formidable next-generation pirates like Basil Hawkins, Urouge, X Drake, and Scratchmen Apoo. Kizaru's involvement in the Paramount War further solidified his reputation as he successfully battled against the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies without sustaining significant damage. Following a period of relative inactivity, Kizaru resurfaces in the story as the Navy dispatches him to Egghead Island in an attempt to neutralize Dr. Vegapunk and his research into the Void Century. However, little did the World Government know, Luffy has also arrived on Egghead Island, leading to a war between Kizaru's Navy and the Straw Hat Emperor of the Sea.

The Power Of Pika Pika no Mi

After Kizaru's introduction in One Piece, he wasted no time in utilizing his Devil Fruit powers. He became the second Admiral to unveil his powers, following Kuzan's display of ice abilities during the Long Ring Long Land arc. However, it was during the Sabaody Archipelago arc that Kizaru truly showcased his powers. Upon arriving on the island, his immediate focus was on locating Straw Hat Luffy and he soon encountered formidable pirates. Without hesitation, Kizaru began utilizing his light-based abilities, granting fans their first glimpse of the Pika Pika no Mi.

This particular Devil Fruit belongs to the highly sought-after Logia class. With the Pika Pika no Mi, Kizaru is able to transform into light itself and manipulate it according to his desires. Essentially, Kizaru becomes a humanoid embodiment of light, granting him immense power and versatility. Light manipulation is an exceptionally potent ability, as it is closely associated with both speed and strength, aspects in which Kizaru excels. He can deliver lightning-fast kicks to his adversaries at the speed of light and effortlessly traverse vast distances at the speed of light as well.

How Strong Is Kizaru?

Facing Kizaru presents an immense challenge, requiring exceptional mastery of Observation Haki to even match his swift movements. The added complexity arises from his remarkable versatility in wielding his Devil Fruit abilities. As an illustration, Kizaru can manifest a radiant sword known as Ama no Murakumo, summon light projectiles from his fingertips, and unleash a barrage of celestial radiance called Yasakani no Magatama. Such is his proficiency with his Devil Fruit that speculation persists about his overreliance on its powers.

In terms of sheer strength, Kizaru is widely recognized as being incredibly dominant, a fact befitting of his status as an Admiral. These Admirals serve as the pinnacle of the World Government's military prowess, meaning they must adhere to a specific standard. Their power must be substantial enough to effectively combat the formidable Emperors and other formidable pirates that roam the seas. Furthermore, their bounties, recently assigned by the Cross Guild, mirror those possessed by the Yonko. Just like his fellow Admirals, Kizaru boasts a Three-Crown bounty worth a staggering 3 billion berries. This is on par with Luffy's bounty and comes very close to the amount placed on Buggy's head.

Bounty is not the sole determinant of strength. Kizaru has repeatedly proven his ability to confront the most powerful pirates. During the Paramount War, he engaged in combat with Marco, the First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and performed exceptionally well. He even clashed with Whitebeard himself on multiple occasions and managed to inflict minor injuries. Kizaru's formidable power is largely attributed to his Pika Pika no Mi, which grants him immense abilities. However, he also possesses exceptional mastery over his Haki. As a speed-focused fighter, Kizaru heavily relies on his exceptional Observation Haki skills. In the midst of the Paramount War, he skillfully evaded Rakuyo's attacks, reminiscent of Katakuri's ability to foresee and dodge incoming strikes. Additionally, Kizaru demonstrated the use of Ryuo during the same war by dispelling one of Whitebeard's devastating quakes with this technique.

Devil Fruit Awakening

In addition to his already formidable power, Kizaru may possess the abilities of an Awakened Devil Fruit user. After utilizing his Devil Fruit ability for an extended period, it is highly likely that he has attained this advanced state. Notably, Kizaru ranks among the most powerful individuals in the world of One Piece. Lesser characters, such as Katakuri, Doflamingo, Kid, and Law, have all attained Awakening for their respective Devil Fruits. Considering Kizaru's heavy reliance on his own fruit, it is wholly plausible that he too has achieved this heightened level of mastery. If this is indeed the case, it would undoubtedly elevate his strength to even greater heights.

Unfortunately, fans are not yet aware of the exact nature of Logia Awakenings. However, if Kizaru does indeed possess an Awakened Devil Fruit, the power of the Pika Pika no Mi would be even more formidable. The full potential of this Devil Fruit has likely not yet been revealed to fans, but the Egghead Island Arc will change that. For the first time, Kizaru will be at the center of a significant battle, and this time, Oda will not skip over it. Fans are eagerly anticipating what Kizaru can achieve against Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as how he will utilize his Devil Fruit abilities. Only the Egghead Island Arc will provide the answers that fans seek. The manga One Piece can be read on Viz Media.
