Which Attacks Does One Piece Borsalino Use In Major Fights?

I love how effortless Kizaru makes everything look. His main moves in 'One Piece' are basically three flavors: deadly laser-like beams for sniping and area attacks, blink-and-you-miss-it light-speed movement that doubles as offense, and hyper-fast kicks/punches that land with the force of light. He uses beams for crowd control or to target ships from afar, then slips into a melee stance and finishes opponents with blazing close-range strikes.

Visually it’s gorgeous: long rays, sudden yellow flashes, and those moments when he seems to be in ten places at once. If you want a simple mental checklist when spotting him in a fight: look for ranged beams, instant reposition, and light-boosted melee hits — that covers most of his major techniques.

I still get a grin when Kizaru casually turns a battlefield into a light show. In plain terms, his combat toolset in 'One Piece' is built around three core ideas: light beams (ranged, high-precision blasts), light-speed movement (instant repositioning and afterimages), and enhanced melee strikes (punches/kicks that are basically light-accelerated). He’ll often open fights with long-range photon shots to take out big threats or create chaos, then close distances in a flicker to land one or two decisive, extremely fast blows.

He’s used that combo a lot at Sabaody when dealing with the Straw Hats and later at Marineford against Whitebeard’s forces. Another thing that stands out is his economy of motion — Kizaru rarely overcommits. He'll pop in, fire one devastating beam, and vanish. That makes him feel unbeatable unless someone can either match his speed or shut down the fruit power somehow. Practically speaking, fighting him means avoiding long sightlines and keeping to cover, because those beams don’t care about obstacles once lined up.

Man, watching that flash of gold the first few times Kizaru shows up in 'One Piece' still gives me chills. He’s basically a human searchlight thanks to the Pika Pika no Mi, so most of his iconic attacks are variations on bending, firing, and moving as light. In fights you’ll see him unleash blinding, long-range laser-like beams that pierce ships and punch through lines of fighters, and those are used as straight sniping attacks when he wants to take someone out from far away.

He also uses his light-state for superhuman mobility — think teleport-ish moves where he appears and disappears at the speed of light, creating afterimages and making his physical strikes feel instantaneous. Close combat often looks like glowing photon kicks and punches that hit harder because of the speed rather than raw brute force. During the Sabaody and Marineford arcs he alternates between ranged beam barrages and sudden blitzes, basically toggling between support sniping and single-target blitzes depending on the situation.

What I like is how theatrical it feels: explosions of yellow light, people being knocked back by pure photons, and Kizaru’s laid-back posture like he’s casually playing with a toy. He doesn’t usually rely on flashy haki displays — his whole deal is making physics do the fighting for him. If you’re rewatching, keep an eye on how his beams are aimed: pinpoint shots for assassinations, broad sweeps for crowd control, and lightning-fast kicks/punches for duels. It’s polished and terrifying in equal measure.

Sometimes I like to imagine Kizaru as the universe’s most casual sniper — sipping tea while carving star-shaped holes in things. Breaking down the mechanics: his Devil Fruit turns him into light, so his offensive repertoire naturally splits into ranged photonic attacks, mobility tricks, and condensed melee techniques. The ranged stuff are bright, concentrated beams that can slice through matter or punch massive shockwaves across a battlefield; they’re great for ship-to-ship combat or crowd suppression.

Mobility-wise he doesn’t really teleport in the supernatural sense but moves at light speed, which looks like instantaneous disappearance and reappearance, creating multiple afterimages to distract opponents. That movement is as much an attack as his punches: a kick delivered at light speed transfers staggering momentum. In one-on-one encounters he’ll mix quick, precise beam shots with sudden close-range bursts — a pattern that makes him unpredictable. He’s also strategic: he uses wide sweeps to control enemy positions and pin down squads, then zeroes in with pinpoint shots when a vulnerable target shows up.

If you’ve seen him face off with other admirals or powerful pirates, the thing to watch is how little he cares about collateral damage; his weapons are area-denying and incredibly fast. That’s why he’s both awe-inspiring and frustrating to watch — beautiful visuals, terrifying effectiveness, and very little telegraphed weakness. I keep thinking about how fun it would be to storyboard his moves for a fight scene, because the choreography practically writes itself with light streaks and explosions.
