One pieceEgghead’s Arc was packed with story revelations and mystery questions, but creator Eichiro Oda more or less answered one of the biggest and most controversial. This has huge implications for the future of the series and could be one of the most interesting plot points going forward. One piece is a series full of mystery and intrigue, but what’s so remarkable about it is that the series is still teasing fans with big mysteries and even bigger reveals late in the series’ life.
In an SBS for volume 110 of One pieceEichiro Oda was asked about the scene where Luffy was exhausted from using Gear 5 and how miraculously there was food near him. Despite being a relatively small moment, this scene raised questions and speculation about who could have given Luffy the food. Furthermore, Saturn was shocked by this and wondered where the food could have come from. Finally, Oda revealed that none other than Admiral Kizaru was responsible for giving Luffy food and saving his life.
Kizaru was the one who saved Luffy
The Admiral’s Actions Suggest Something Huge
Although Oda didn’t explicitly say it was Kizaru, he did say “Speed ​​of Light” and emphasized it. Obviously, this is talking about Kizaru, as his Devil Fruit, the Pika Pika no Mi, allows him to be a human of the Light and control, manipulate and transform into him. Additionally, Oda saying that the person who gave Luffy the food was too fast to see is also another confirmation that it was Kizaru, as he was the only person on the island, and in the series, who can travel that fast.
Kizaru helping Luffy is planting the seeds for his eventual betrayal of the Marines and the World Government. This would make sense, given that he was ordered to kill his close friend, Vegapunk, and his anger and tears towards Akainu show how much pain he is feeling. Additionally, Sentomaru being injured and having nowhere else to go after challenging CP-0 is another reason why Kizaru could betray the Marines. Kizaru is almost like Sentomaru’s father figure, and seeing someone close to him used and discarded in this way will undoubtedly be enough to turn him into a traitor.
This would also be in line with Kizaru’s ideals. His Dark Justice gives him room to change allegiances based on the truth. Kizaru’s transformation into a traitor becomes even more possible after Vegapunk reveals the truth about the world to millions of people and discovers the true evil of the world government. This is a good reason for him to stop working for a tyrannical entity.
This revelation should be in the manga
Although SBS gives valuable and sometimes funny answers, Kizaru being the one who helped Luffy is something that should have been in the manga considering how big he is. It would have worked well as a setup for Kizaru’s later betrayal, but spoiling such crucial information in SBS is a huge wasted opportunity. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, as Zoro’s lineage was also confirmed on SBS, as well as other interesting information that could be in the series.
While this reveal would have worked even better in the source material, it still hints at something big to come. Kizaru is one of the most powerful characters in One Piece, so his betrayal could be one of the series’ biggest moments. Who he teams up with and how he makes that decision will also be interesting and is something fans can look forward to.
