Borsalino

Borsalino, more commonly known by his alias Kizaru, is an admiral in the Marines. After Aokiji resigned from the Marines and Akainu was promoted to fleet admiral, Kizaru is now the only remaining admiral from the previous trio. Kizaru ate the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control, and transform his body into light. Among other things, he is able to move, travel, and perform kicks at the speed of light, shoot laser beams, and blind his opponents. For offense, Kizaru can shoot powerful laser beams from his fingertips and the bottoms of his feet, which can easily pierce through flesh and/or set off massive, heat-based explosions. He can fire a single laser with pinpoint accuracy or unleash a massive gatling of laser bullets over a wide area. Kizaru's main style of combat involves kicking at the speed of light. By turning his body into light, Kizaru can move at lightspeed, allowing him to maneuver around the battlefield without his enemies being able to keep up unless they have sufficiently well-developed Kenbunshoku Haki. He can make his light body shift in place, allowing him to instantly reposition himself at a different location on the battlefield, and can also send out a beam of light that he can merge with and travel on to reach an intended location. Said light beam can only follow a straight line, though it can be reflected off of surfaces in a mirror-like fashion, allowing the beam (and thus Kizaru) to travel in zigzag. His lightspeed mobility lets Kizaru enhance his melee attacks. By moving his leg at the speed of light, the admiral's kicks can be given massive weight and momentum, greatly increasing their power and allowing Kizaru to deal tremendous damage to opponents with individual blows.

Additionally, Kizaru can stun and blind his opponents by emitting super-bright flashes of light, as well as, for close-quarters combat, "solidify" light into the shape of a massive sword to wield by hand against an enemy swordsman. As a marine admiral, Kizaru is a highly skilled Haki user. Borsalino possesses the ability to use Kenbunshoku Haki. Through his Devil Fruit, Kizaru can also create a sword made of light. As an admiral, Kizaru ranks second only to Fleet Admiral Sakazuki (formerly Sengoku) in the Marines, holding power over the many thousands of junior personnel. His authority entails commanding fleets, having sway on the overall strategy of headquarters, and issuing special-purpose orders like a Buster Call to destroy any island he judges a threat, or temporarily passing on to others such privileges. The admiral being able to exercise these authorities duly and efficiently bespeaks a great deal of military leadership and coordination skills on his part. As a combatant, Kizaru is among the strongest characters to appear in the story, he and his two admiral peers being crowned the World Government's "Greatest Military Force". Kizaru's mere presence was enough to cause a mass panic on the Sabaody Archipelago, inducing its pirate population (including most of the Supernovas present at the time) to flee. While on the island, Kizaru was able to overwhelm four of said Supernovas Basil Hawkins, Urouge, X Drake, and Scratchmen Apoo with minimal effort (albeit individually), defeating each of them in single attack after none had been able to so much as touch him (sans one of them with invisible surprise attacks that, nonetheless, proved completely ineffectual at hurting the admiral). Thereafter, Kizaru entered into one-on-one sword combat with an old Silvers Rayleigh, the former "Right Hand of the Pirate King". In fact, while the pirate looked tired, Kizaru seemed calm and perfectly lucid, thanks to his younger age compared to the enemy, after that he was seen unharmed (with only a small cut on his cheek). Kizaru would go on, before leaving Sabaody, to capture a total of 500 pirates.
