Luffy Will Face Admiral Kizaru In Episode 1126

  • One Piece Episode 1126 Could Be A Contender For Episode Of The Year
  • Toei Animation Will Make Sure To Give Fans A High Quality Episode

On April 20, 2025, One Piece Episode 1126 will air under the title “The Grim Predicament! Admiral Kizaru’s Disheartening Assignment.” As previously mentioned, this episode will delve into the confrontation between Admiral Kizaru and Luffy within Labophase. Their battle carries significant weight, yet it is not their initial encounter; they have crossed paths on two separate occasions before. The first instance was at Sabaody Archipelago, where the Admiral had been dispatched to handle those responsible for the assault on the Celestial Dragons.

Kizaru’s arrival on land instilled fear in pirates and lawbreakers, including the Supernovas. Kizaru was ruthless, coming close to eliminating Luffy’s entire crew. In desperation, Luffy had to plead with his shipmates to flee from Kizaru. It can be concluded that without Rayleigh and Kuma’s intervention, the Straw Hat Pirates would have been erased.

I found myself once more on the shores of Marineford, where my path crossed with that of Kizaru. He was there as a part of the Marine forces, determined to uphold their victory. My comrade, Luffy, had arrived with a noble intent – to save Portgas D. Ace from a grim fate.

In the heat of the battle, Kizaru and Luffy did not engage in direct combat, but an encounter between them resulted in an injury inflicted upon our hero by the Admiral. The events that transpired on Marineford left indelible marks on all who bore witness.

Third Time Has To Be The Charm

Following two losses, Luffy will be determined to come out on top next time. The main doubt is whether Luffy possesses the abilities needed for victory. To put it simply, yes, he does. After spending two years training under Rayleigh, Luffy mastered all three forms of Haki. Over time, his control over these skills has grown stronger, making him one of the top Haki users in One Piece now.

It’s amazing that Luffy can utilize the advanced forms of all three types of Haki. He employs Future Sight to anticipate his adversary’s next action. By employing Ryou, Luffy bypasses the tough exterior of his enemies and inflicts damage from within. Lastly, with advanced Conqueror’s Haki, Luffy amplifies the power of his attacks.

Luffy’s Devil Fruit serves as another powerful tool for him. This Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit grants him the ability to harness the strength of the Sun God, Nika. Over years of practice, Luffy has strived to fully control this power, and he accomplished it in the Wano storyline. By utilizing Haki alongside his Devil Fruit, Luffy managed to overpower Kaido, who was previously thought to be indomitable.

The Admiral’s Kicks Still Pack A Punch

Luffy might be among the Yonko, but Kizaru shouldn’t be underestimated. He serves as a Marine and boasts a wealth of experience. Due to his numerous high-level missions for the Marines, they have an immense amount of faith in him. Moreover, Kizaru possesses the Pika Pika no Mi, a Devil Fruit that lets him control light, which makes him quite formidable indeed.

Over a long span of time, Kizaru has perfected his skills with the Devil Fruit, allowing him to conceive remarkably clever strategies against his adversaries. The Admiral’s application of Armament and Observation Haki is no less impressive, as demonstrated by his skill in circumventing Sentomaru’s defense. These two combatants boast extraordinary talents, promising a thrilling showdown. In addition, the victor of this match will hold significant influence over Vegapunk’s fate.
