The chaotic battle in the Egghead arc of One Piece has finally ended, with the Straw Hat crew and their allies heading to a new destination. Now, One Piece chapter 1124 confirms the situation of Kizaru, who has been missing for weeks. According to the revelation, Akainu contacted Kizaru to learn more about his mission. The Fleet Admiral accuses and reprimands Kizaru for failing his mission, but Kizaru retorts to his superior. Kizaru, with tearful eyes, angrily asks if Akainu has ever ended the life of his closest friend. He further insists that Akainu should come to Egghead if he still doubts Kizaru.
The chapter’s title, ‘Best Friend,’ further reinforces Kizaru’s close relationships. The Admiral and Vegapunk have been friends for decades. Moreover, Kizaru has known Sentomaru since he was a child. Vegapunk assigned Sentomaru the role of a bodyguard, and the three often met.
However, due to Akainu’s orders, Kizaru not only has to fight Sentomaru but also deliver the final blow to take Vegapunk’s life. After witnessing Kizaru’s extraordinary outburst, fans are deeply moved and currently hold high respect for the Admiral.
A One Piece fan wrote: “Oda has finally shown that Kizaru is just a person with emotions; his usual cold demeanor doesn’t mean he lacks feelings.”
“I’m not a fan of the Navy Admiral, but I’m completely convinced now. They are among the most intriguing characters in the series. The contrast between their personal sense of justice and the World Government’s justice is a beautiful conflict. Kizaru has just become one of my favorite characters,” commented another fan.
