Exclusive: Fierce Battle on Eight Island – Luffy Faces Kizaru!
In One Piece chapter 1090, we witnessed an epic moment as Kizaru, one of the influential figures in the One Piece world, set foot on Eight Island. Kizaru showcased his extraordinary technique, Yata no Kagami, which allowed him to launch swift attacks on Sentomaru, a formidable member of the Kuja Pirates. Sentomaru managed to withstand the assault by combining the Tekkai technique and Haki. Nevertheless, we know that Kizaru has just initiated this battle and will soon demonstrate his full abilities.
However, Kizaru isn’t relying solely on ordinary light attacks this time. He possesses several signature techniques, such as Kannin no Magatama, Amano Murakumo, and possibly new techniques we’ve never seen before. The battle heats up as Sentomaru finally succumbs to Kizaru after enduring multiple devastating strikes. Kizaru acknowledges Sentomaru’s exceptional defence but is forced to employ various techniques to defeat him.
Yet, what’s most intriguing is that Luffy and his crew have received news of Kizaru’s arrival. Luffy quickly devises the necessary steps to take. As bright light and explosions resonate from the Kizaru-Sentomaru clash, Luffy promptly alerts his crew to evacuate the area and seek shelter. He senses a major threat has emerged and is determined to keep his crew from being entangled in a brutal fight.
Luffy feels confident in facing Kizaru alone. However, he might not fully realize that Kizaru is one of the most potent adversaries he has ever encountered. Brimming with confidence, Kizaru once again employs the Yata no Kagami technique to swiftly move towards Labupest, where Luffy and the others are situated. Kizaru has received information from Roblosi, a member of the speaker pirates, regarding Luffy’s plan to escape Eight Island using the Vega Force and Thousand Sunny ships. Yet, Kizaru won’t allow this to happen.
Kizaru has a well-thought-out plan. Firstly, he will turn off the Vega Force robots, preventing them from flying off Eight Island. Secondly, he will destroy or damage the Thousand Sunny ship, rendering it incapable of sailing. With this plan in motion, Kizaru hopes to thwart Luffy and his crew’s escape from Eight Island.
As Kizaru approaches Labupest, Frontierdom attempts to impede him. However, the light-speed resemblance of Yata no Kagami makes it impossible for Frontierdom to halt Kizaru. In an instant, Kizaru arrives at Luffy’s location. Their encounter brims with tension and memories of the past. Kizaru recalls their meeting on Sabaody Island two years prior. Luffy acknowledges that he has grown stronger since then.
Yet, the battle doesn’t commence immediately. Kizaru chooses to attack the Vega Force robots instead of Luffy. He unleashes light attacks upon the robots, causing devastating outcomes. Witnessing this, Luffy is taken aback and surprised. He hadn’t anticipated Kizaru targeting the robots. Nevertheless, Luffy doesn’t give in easily.
Luffy employs Kenbun Chokuhaki, his ability to glimpse briefly into the future, and foresees Kizaru’s impending attack on the Thousand Sunny. Swiftly, Luffy shifts into Gear 5 and rushes toward the Thousand Sunny ship. He creates an earth shield that protects the ship and the crew inside. Luffy utilizes this technique to safeguard the ship’s surroundings and prevent excessive damage.
The showdown between Luffy and Kizaru finally begins. Luffy employs a massive hand strike to chase down Kizaru, but Kizaru effortlessly evades the attack. Kizaru showcases his prowess in using light swords to parry Luffy’s blows. However, Luffy doesn’t back down easily. He leaps onto a cloud and summons lightning from the sky to strike at Kizaru.
Confidently, Kizaru attempts to withstand the lightning strike, but the reality proves different. The lightning hurled by Luffy has a tremendous impact, overwhelming Kizaru’s defences. The lightning attack eventually lands a heavy blow on Kizaru, inflicting a sensation of pain he had never experienced before. Laughing, Luffy observes Kizaru’s reaction and declares that the battle has just begun.
However, Kizaru won’t surrender easily. He acknowledges Luffy’s extraordinary strength, especially after witnessing Luffy’s fire technique resembling Marco’s Nikyu Nikyu no Mi. Kizaru realizes Luffy is a dangerous opponent and prepares to offer a more serious resistance.
Luffy, too, doesn’t remain passive. He employs his Awakening technique to transform the surrounding ground into rubber. This rubberized ground is a massive shield, protecting the Thousand Sunny ship and its crew. With this shield in place, the battle can unfold without causing excessive environmental damage.
The battle between Luffy and Kizaru grows even more intense. Kizaru, with his light-speed agility and light-based power, must confront Luffy, who has mastered various potent techniques and abilities. Both sides unleash attacks and strive to defeat their opponents. This battle evokes memories of their past on Sabaody Island and hints at the potential battles.
However, the question remains: what will happen next? How will Luffy face the increasingly severe Kizaru? Will the other Straw Hat crew members intervene in this battle? We predict that this battle will escalate further, delivering an epic clash that will be remembered in the annals of One Piece history.
