Kizaru

Kizaru (real name Borsalino) is a Marine Admiral. He first appears at Sabaody Archipelago when Luffy knocks out a World Noble, attracting the attention of the marines and causing them to dispatch an admiral to the aid of the World Nobles. He leads the marines in the battle against the Straw Hat pirates, along with his comrade Sentomaru. He fights against the old pirate Silvers Rayleigh, while the former first mate of Gol D. Roger holds Kizaru off to buy the Straw Hat Pirates time for escape. After Bartholomew Kuma sends the pirates flying away, Kizaru demands to know why he let them escape, to which no answer was given.

Players can unlock him in the third game's Dream Log Mode.

Role in Games
Kizaru first fights for the Marines in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 to attempt to capture the Dials that Luffy and his Pirate coalition have. On Drum Island, Kizaru is forced to fight against Sentomaru who is under the Frenzy Dial's influence. At the Marine Headquarters, with Whitebeard dead, Garp convinces the admiral to join the Pirate alliance, only temporarily.

On the True Ending path, Kizaru and others are brainwashed by the Frenzy Dials and he fights on Skypiea. He is soon broken free and fights for the pirate coalition in the final battle against Teach.

Personality
Kizaru is a very laid-back and lazy individual. He speaks in a very slow manner and often drags his syllables out. He also seems to be irresponsible regarding his own strength, as he nonchalantly destroyed a mangrove tree on Sabaody Archipelago, something  that he wasn't supposed to do. Given the nature of his powerful Devil Fruit abilities, he doesn't seem to take many encounters seriously, and likes to take his time. His slow and lazy personality conflicts with his Devil Fruit powers of light, which literally allow him to move at lightspeed.

Fighting Style
Kizaru ate the Glint Glint Fruit, which is a Logia-class Devil Fruit that grants him the power of light. It allows him to transform his body into the element of light, as well as allowing him to create limitless amounts of light and control it. By turning his body into light, normal physical attacks will pass harmlessly through his body, since light is intangible. He can also move at lightspeed by transforming his body partially or entirely into light, using this speed to augment his physical abilities. He can also create light, which he usually does in the form of deadly laser beams. Kizaru's light is not like conventional light, as his light possesses explosive and piercing properties. His lasers can detonate explosions of monstrous scales, as well as pierce through matter, including flesh. Kizaru mainly fights with his legs, turning his body into light to enhance the speed and power of his already-powerful kicking techniques. He can also fire off laser beams from his hands and feet. Kizaru can also take advantage of the brightness of his light, and use its overwhelming brightness to emit bright flashes of light that can temporarily blind and stun enemies, as seen in his R1 attack. He can also form a sword of light and is quite adept in swordsmanship.
