Who Is Borsalino? One Piece’s calm, powerful, and light-speed Admiral

Borsalino, also known as ‘Admiral Kizaru’, is one of the most intriguing and powerful figures in One Piece.
As a Marine Admiral, he wields the Glint-Glint Fruit (Pika Pika no Mi), a Logia-type Devil Fruit that gives him the ability to move and attack at the speed of light.
His precision strikes can destroy ships, blast through buildings, and overwhelm even the strongest pirates, making him a near-unstoppable force in combat.
What makes Borsalino truly stand out, however, isn’t just his devastating power, it’s the way he carries himself. Calm, slow-speaking, and seemingly unbothered by chaos, he doesn’t show much emotion on the battlefield.
Whether facing Whitebeard’s commanders or chasing members of the Worst Generation, he remains eerily collected, following orders with chilling ease.
Unlike Akainu’s “Absolute Justice” or Aokiji’s more relaxed “Lazy Justice,” Borsalino’s own sense of justice is unclear.
He doesn't appear to be guided by personal ideology—just a sense of obligation. That neutrality, paired with his unmatched power, makes him a true wildcard in the One Piece universe.
So far, Borsalino has done whatever the Marines have asked, without question. But as the world shifts pirates rising, the Revolutionary Army stirring, and ancient truths coming to light—it’s becoming harder for anyone to stay neutral.
Fans have long wondered: does Borsalino have his own beliefs? Is there something deeper behind that calm exterior?
He’s followed every command up to now, but what happens when orders clash with morality or survival?
As One Piece enters its Final Saga, Borsalino is no longer just a supporting force—he’s at the heart of the storm. In the Egghead Arc, his long-awaited battle with Yonko Luffy, now using Gear 5, marks a dramatic shift in the series. But this fight isn’t just about who’s stronger.
With the secrets of the Void Century, the Ancient Weapons, and the truth behind the World Government emerging, even Borsalino may be forced to take a stand.
