This post contains spoilers for One Piece.

Summary

  • Episode 1127 will have movie-level animation, aiming to top previous quality.
  • Luffy's improved Haki skills and access to Gear 5 will be crucial in defeating Kizaru.
  • Luffy and Kizaru's fight will be intense, as both have powerful abilities and will give their all.

One Piece Episode 1126 covered several important events. It started with Bartholomew Kuma running away from the Revolutionary Army base and going to Marijoa. The soldiers attacked Kuma as he passed through the Holy Land, but they couldn't stop him.

Shortly afterward, Sakazuki appeared, and he only had one goal in mind— to eliminate Kuma. The Fleet Admiral didn't hold back and used all kinds of attacks to subdue Kuma. Before Sakazuki could land the decisive blow, Kuma used his Devil Fruit to escape from the place. The episode also included the beginning of Luffy's fight with Kizaru. While there was decent action in the episode, it will be nothing compared to what fans will see in Episode 1127.

The New Episode Will Have Movie-Level Animation

Judging from the preview of Episode 1127, the quality of this particular episode will be higher than anything fans have seen since the anime's return. In fact, the staff put so much effort into the episode that it looks like a movie. This is proof that Toei Animation is serious about taking the One Piece anime to the top again. One Piece Episode 1127 might even break Crunchyroll records for accumulating the most likes. Additionally, it will help the anime reclaim the top spot.

So far, all the fights involving Luffy's Gear 5 have been incredible. The studio has made a note to put its best staff on such episodes. The most recent example was the fight between Luffy and Rob Lucci. The entire episode was fantastic, but the part that focused on Luffy and Lucci's fight was the best. There is a good chance that Luffy's battle against Kizaru will supplant it in terms of overall quality. Fans can rest easy when it comes to animation, but they will be eager to know if Luffy can beat the Admiral in combat.

Can Luffy Overcome Admiral Kizaru?

Luffy Has The Tools To Beat The Admiral

Luffy has improved significantly since his last encounter with Kizaru. The pirate has learned to use all types of Haki and even their subtypes. With time, his control has improved further, allowing him to overpower foes with Haki alone. Luffy's attack and defense are nearly perfect. His Observation Haki allows him to see into the future and find out what his opponent's next action will be. Once Luffy knows what is going to happen next, he can use Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki to prepare a counter.

Aside from his Haki, Luffy also has access to an insanely overpowered Devil Fruit, which he has successfully Awakened. Luffy tried using Gear 4th against Kizaru, but it did not make much of a difference. So, he had to tap into the power of Gear 5, which is his strongest form. Clearly, Luffy will not be holding back, as he wants to beat the Admiral at all costs.

Kizaru Has One Of The Strongest Devil Fruits

Naturally, Kizaru won't hold back, as the Admiral has been tasked with exterminating Vegapunk, but he cannot do it until Luffy is beaten. Kizaru may not have an Awakened Devil Fruit, but he still has access to a plethora of strong abilities. Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi is one of the most destructive Devil Fruits in One Piece. In fact, Vegapunk conducted extensive research on its power and developed new weapons that work on the same principle.

As seen in Kizaru's previous fights, all of his attacks are dangerous and can cause serious harm to an individual, which is why Luffy needs to be extra careful. Additionally, Kizaru's Devil Fruit grants him increased speed. Basically, the Admiral can travel at light speed, blitzing anyone who tries to stand in his way. Kizaru can also use Observation and Armament Haki at a high level. So, he can easily bypass Luffy's defenses and hurt him.

Considering the abilities of both fighters, it's safe to say that the fight between them will be absolutely insane. Neither of them will step down until the fight is over.
