Luffy vs Kizaru on Egghead Island

• Luffy fought Luffy in Egghead
• Luffy also battled Kizaru

The Egghead Island arc saw Luffy fighting using his superpowers. Right off the bat, Luffy used the incredible power of Gear 5 when fighting against Lucy. The fight didn't last long, and it saw Luffy make quick work. However, the real battle began when Admiral Kizaru came to Egghead and Luffy started fighting against him. Luffy begins his battle against Kizaru in Gear 4. However, he quickly realized that Gear 4 would not be enough and that he would have to tap into a stronger power. Interestingly, before Luffy even started the fight, he was heavily injured by the Frontier Dome. Naturally, Luffy had to switch back to Gear 5 so he could get through it.

Compared to two years ago, we are 100 times stronger! – Luffy

It should be noted that going through the dome twice meant that Luffy took a significant amount of damage and was not fighting at his best. Still, for Luffy, taking down an Admiral shouldn't be too difficult. Luffy's job was to keep Kizaru from harming his friends, which meant he wasn't doing everything at first. Meanwhile, Kizaru's goal was not to fight Luffy, but to kill Vegapunk. The fight was incredibly exciting from start to finish and Luffy used Gear 5 to showcase many tricks to the fans.

It also saw him completely defeat Kizaru, and the difference in strength was quite obvious. At the end of it all, Luffy delivered a powerful White Star Gun directly to Kizaru's head, knocking him out in the process. At the same time, Luffy lost Gear 5 himself and collapsed. The fight was intense, but, more than that, it showed fans that Luffy was now strong enough to take down admirals and even stronger opponents. But, in the process, Luffy himself was also down. Many fans considered this fight a draw, considering the fact that Luffy had to pass through the dome twice, it could be said that he was the stronger of the two, and at the same time, Kizaru was the first of the two. to fall

Oda confirms who gave Luffy food at Egghead

Kizaru moved to give Luffy food

After Luffy's collapse after his fight with Kizaru, he was unable to move. In fact, Saturn tried to kill him and if it wasn't for Franky, Luffy would have died for sure. Immediately after, Saturn orders the nearby guards to kill Luffy, but that's when he notices that Luffy is eating too much food. As Luffy ate more food, he was able to regain his strength and, with that, return to using Gear 5 once again. This saw Luffy once again reach the peak of his power, and he fought against both Kizaru and Saturn at the same time.

From here on, Luffy used the power of Gear 5 extensively, and it's safe to say that he definitely delivered. However, fans couldn't forget who gave Luffy food. It should be noted that Luffy was in a very scary state and could have died there and then. If it weren't for this mysterious ally, Luffy would surely have had a much harder time. Finally, Oda revealed the secret behind Luffy's savior and SBS Vol.110.

In Chapter 1103, Luffy starts eating a bunch of food. But who answered his pleas after he shouted “Food~”? Near him were Sanji and Franky, could it be one of them? Even though the likes of Kizaru and Sentomaru were there too… no one noticed this happening. This means that in order for no one to detect it, it must have been done at the speed of light. Hmm… I'm not sure who that could be. speed of light…

As Oda's answer makes clear, the person who gave Luffy the food was none other than Kizaru. Why gave him food, the answer is obvious. Kizaru believes in implicit justice. He was the one who dealt the killing blow to Vegapunk, he was doing everything he could to make sure Vegapunk somehow survived. Kizaru did his duty, but he made sure that his chances of survival were the best. Furthermore, it was before Kizaru went into battle again, strengthening his resolve by feeding Luffy.

Did Kizaru win the battle against Luffy?

Kizaru couldn't win against Luffy

Naturally, many fans are pointing to the fact that Kizaru feeding Luffy meant that he could have moved and essentially killed him to end the fight with Luffy. This, for many, indicated that Kizaru was the winner of the fight. However, that is not really the case. The fact is that Luffy wasn't fighting Kizaru to the best of his ability. As fans know, Luffy didn't use the power of Supreme King Haki in this fight, that is until the end, when he beat Kizaru and made sure he couldn't last long.

Furthermore, it should also be noted that when Kizaru got Luffy's food, there is no indication of the fact that he had enough power to kill Luffy. After all, the White Star Gun affected Kizaru badly, because he himself declared that he saw the stars. At that time, Kizaru was injured and could not use his full power. He can certainly move and get Luffy food, but no one can say for sure if he has enough to take out Luffy.

Besides, fans know that just because Luffy doesn't move doesn't mean he can't move. Normally, when Luffy is surrounded by other people, he rests as much as possible so that he can get as much energy as possible and leaves the job of protecting him to others. If he had to, Luffy would definitely move and survive the battle. But, more than that, fans know for a fact that Luffy, who didn't bounce back from the Frontier Dome barrier twice, and later Oda himself, didn't lose this fight by making sure he didn't use Supreme King Haki against Kizaru.
