One Piece Reveals One Character May Not Be as Evil as Fans Think

by

In simple terms, the anime adaptation of One Piece concluded an exceptionally dramatic ending to one of its most compelling storylines so far, as Kuma and Bonney finally met in the present time. With the Kuma flashback now finished, the Egghead Arc is ready to plunge back into the action with Kuma being the one who initiates a fight. Episode 1137 also unveiled a darker side of St. Saturn, suggesting he may be even more evil than previously thought. Fans were already appalled by his actions, but it was revealed in this episode that St. Saturn was responsible for giving Ginny and Bonney the Sapphire Scales disease, which was a consequence of the human testing he performed on Ginny.

Simultaneously, Episode 1137 of One Piece has unveiled an unexpected facet of Admiral Kizaru, suggesting he might not be as villainous as viewers initially thought. This enigmatic character is suspected by fans to have assisted Luffy, providing him with food in the latest episode. The narrative unfolds with Luffy lying weakly on the ground, appearing lifeless due to using Gear Five. Moments later, Luffy is shown devouring a mountain of food that mysteriously appears around him. The scene swiftly transitions to Kizaru, who seems to have moved from his prone position against some debris. Although anime fans are divided, this act could potentially be a significant betrayal from Kizaru, implying there’s far more depth to his character than initially perceived.

One Piece’s New Episode Teases a Major Betrayal by Kizaru

Prior to Kuma’s flashback, it appeared that Kizaru was just following orders as usual. But after observing Kizaru and Sentomaru spending extended periods with Vegapunk, Kuma, and Bonney, it becomes more plausible that he might feel reluctant about watching them all meet their end at Saturn’s hands. The flashback also shows Kizaru dining and dancing with the group, suggesting a less strict moral compass. Although there are numerous suspects who could have smuggled food to Luffy, such as Sanji, the swift cut to Kizaru catching his breath immediately following that scene is quite incriminating.

It’s remarkable that this task was completed so swiftly, without St. Saturn noticing, and only Kizaru could manage such a feat with his devil fruit abilities. It seems plausible that Kizaru was content to fulfill his duty by taking out Vegapunk alone, but he felt uneasy about Sentomaru and Bonney’s potential demise as well. If this is the case, providing Luffy with food and helping him recover might be a clever way for Kizaru to save Bonney and others without directly disobeying his orders. The debate among fans continues regarding whether Kizaru gave his all against Luffy in Gear Five or if he showed restraint, possibly intentionally losing the fight or holding back slightly.

One Piece’s Manga Has Already Given Fans Answers

Regrettably, the anime might not explicitly reveal whether Kizaru assisted Luffy, as the most we’ve had is a playful comment from Eiichiro Oda in the SBS of Volume 110. This statement reads, “Was it Sanji or Franky, who were nearby? Kizaru and Sentomaru were there too… It seems like nobody found out. In other words, their actions went unnoticed, like they acted at the ‘speed of light’. I’m not sure either. Speed of light.” Essentially, this implies that Kizaru’s involvement in the situation remains uncertain, much like something happening so fast it’s indistinguishable.

fans will soon discover the reasons behind his actions in the anime itself. The Egghead Arc still holds plenty of surprises, and if the recent episode is any clue, it’s going to be visually breathtaking!

Weekly, you can watch the latest episodes of One Piece simultaneously on Crunchyroll. Additionally, fans have the option to stream the series on both Netflix and Hulu as well.
