Luffy vs. Kizaru: A Worthy Battle?
In the heat of the Egghead Island arc in One Piece, the clash between the Navy and the Straw Hat Pirates escalates to an all-out war. As we delve into chapter 1091, Admiral Kizaru’s presence adds a dangerous dimension to the ongoing conflict. The Navy has one mission – eliminate Dr. Vegapunk and take down the Straw Hat Pirates. Let’s dive into the highlights of this epic battle and explore the emotional confrontations that await.
The Egghead War Begins
The previous chapter witnessed Kizaru’s effortless entry into Egghead Island, triggering Sentomaru’s order for Pacifistas to attack Navy ships. Chapter 1091 unveiled the formidable mechanized sea beasts created by Vegapunk. These monsters, akin to Sea Kings, proved powerful enough to annihilate Navy ships with ease, leaving lower-ranked marines struggling to defend against them. This showcases Vegapunk’s incredible abilities, highlighting the dire threat he poses.
On the Navy’s front, Vice Admirals entered Egghead, with an unnamed bald Vice Admiral demonstrating an ability reminiscent of Zephyr’s Smash Buster from Film Z. Doll, another Vice Admiral, exhibited her strength, using her kicking prowess to take down a Sea King and showcasing her Moon Walk technique. With Vice Admirals joining the fray, it’s clear that the Marines are determined to gain a foothold on the island, with Admiral Kizaru leading the charge.
Kizaru vs. Sentomaru
One Piece fans finally received a treat as they witnessed the intense battle between Kizaru and Sentomaru. Unlike some off-screened fights, this showdown offered an emotional engagement. While Kizaru was expected to emerge victorious, Sentomaru put up an admirable fight. He blocked one of Kizaru’s kicks with his powerful Haki and dodged Yasakani no Magatama attacks. Sentomaru even managed to inflict damage on Kizaru with his Ashigara Dokkoi.
What made this fight even more engaging was the inclusion of a flashback, shedding light on Sentomaru’s backstory. It revealed a time when Vegapunk and Kizaru were sent to handle a bear attack, only to find young Sentomaru had already resolved the situation. Vegapunk took him in as a bodyguard in exchange for anything he desired. Kizaru trained Sentomaru, forging a bond that now stands in stark contrast to their opposing positions. In the end, Kizaru crushed Sentomaru, shifting his focus to the Labophase.
Chaos in the Labophase
After Sentomaru’s defeat, the Marines gained the upper hand as Kizaru seized the Pacifista control chip, commanding them to join the Navy and subdue the mechanized sea beasts. This cleared a path for the Marines to invade Egghead. Kizaru, thanks to his light-based powers, easily breached the Frontier Dome, prompting Luffy and Vegapunk to recognize the looming threat. Chaos ensued within the Labophase.
Lucci, displaying his characteristic switch of allegiances, attempted to assassinate Vegapunk, only for Stussy to shield him with her body. Zoro engaged Lucci in combat, taking the battle outside the laboratory. Sanji used clever tactics to trap Kaku in a bubble, removing him from the fight. Atlas and Stella worked diligently to decipher the Frontier Dome’s code, a task that appeared time-consuming.
Luffy vs. Kizaru Begins
Chapter 1091 culminated with Kizaru attempting to halt the Straw Hat ship’s movement towards the coast. Luffy, now one of the Emperors of the Sea and significantly stronger, recognized the threat and confronted the Admiral. This reunion after two years marked a pivotal moment. Luffy’s powerful kick, possibly imbued with the Color of the Supreme King, forced Kizaru to defend himself. Despite Luffy’s strength, Kizaru’s nonchalant personality remained unchanged.
The Straw Hat Pirates have grown immensely since their last encounter with the Navy two years ago. The tragedy of Sabaody will not repeat itself. The stage is set for an epic clash, with Luffy and his crew determined to emerge victorious against the Navy. As we anticipate the next chapters of One Piece, filled with incredible battles and developments, fans will need to endure yet another break.
