How Will Luffy Beat Kizaru? 

The One Piece anime just dropped the long-awaited confrontation—Luffy vs Admiral Kizaru. Fans are already asking:

• Will Luffy really beat Kizaru?
• How can you hit someone who moves at the speed of light?
• What happens after that insane clash?

Well, manga readers already know the answer, and trust us—it’s epic. Let’s break down exactly how Luffy beats Kizaru, straight from the source.

Luffy vs Kizaru

A Fight Years in the Making

Let’s rewind to their first fight at Sabaody Archipelago:

• Kizaru wiped the floor with Luffy and the crew.
• Luffy couldn’t land a single hit.
• The crew got separated, and it was the lowest point in the series at that time.

But now? It’s Egghead Island, and Luffy isn’t the same rookie anymore. He’s a Yonko, with Gear 5 unlocked. And this time, he’s ready.

How Luffy Beats Kizaru in the Manga

A Battle of Unimaginable Power

Gear 5 Breaks the Rules of Reality

Luffy activates Gear 5—the awakening of the Hito Hito no Mi: Model Nika, also called the “Warrior of Liberation”form.

• In this form, Luffy’s body becomes rubbery in reality itself, not just to him.
• He can manipulate the environment like a cartoon world—bending, stretching, even turning intangible attacks into physical ones.
• When Kizaru fires laser beams? Luffy bends light.
• When Kizaru blitzes at lightspeed? Luffy catches him mid-attack.

Yeah. It’s that insane.

Advanced Haki Counters Kizaru’s Speed

Luffy isn’t just relying on his devil fruit.

He uses Advanced Observation Haki to predict movements, and Advanced Armament + Conqueror’s Haki to bypass Kizaru’s intangibility.

• Conqueror’s Coating lets Luffy deal real damage through Kizaru’s light-body form.
• Even if Kizaru zips around at light speed, Luffy can react and strike with overwhelming force.

At one point, Luffy punches Kizaru so hard that he goes flying through several layers of the island.

Kizaru Gets Worn Down – Mentally and Physically

Kizaru is strong, no doubt. But during the fight, he shows hesitation.

• He clearly doesn’t want to fight Vegapunk, his old friend.
• He shows sadness, even muttering “I’m too weak…” after being knocked out.
• Luffy’s unpredictability and cartoon-like style completely overwhelm Kizaru’s cold, calculated movements.

Eventually, Luffy knocks him out cold—bloodied, broken, and unable to keep fighting.

This isn’t a “barely wins” moment. It’s decisive. Luffy wins.

What Happens After?

The Aftermath of Luffy’s Battle with Kizaru: Shifting Alliances and Unforeseen Consequences

Here’s where things escalate:

• Right after Luffy beats Kizaru, Saturn (one of the Gorosei) steps in.
• He’s not human. He transforms into a demonic creature with godlike powers.
• Luffy is exhausted, the crew is scattered, and Saturn is way more dangerous than Kizaru.

But the battle sets the tone: Luffy has surpassed the Admirals. He’s officially at the level of the top powers in the world.

The Sun Has Risen

Luffy’s Triumph and the Future Ahead

The last time Luffy fought Kizaru, he was helpless.

Now? He wins.

Luffy’s victory over Kizaru is more than just strength—it’s a symbol that the new generation is taking over. That freedom can beat order. That the Sun God Nika isn’t just a legend—it’s real.
