The light speed admiral
Chapter 1 : The navy's great commanders
The three admirals, the navy's strongest fighters. On their own they are monstrously strong. The admirals have years of experience with their devil fruit powers and other combat skills to compliment their tactical skills. They also carry an aura of fear and admiration with the power they wield at their disposal. Whether it be a just a regular pirate from one of the four blues, the shichibukai or even a yonko and their crew the power and resourcefulness of an admiral is not to be underestimated.
Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru the navy's three great commanders second to only fleet admiral Sengoku. Akainu or Sakazuki is like his devil fruit the magu magu no mi he's hotheaded and explosive against those who he deems as threats to his "absolute justice". He views pirates as the scum of the earth and feels no remorse for the deaths of both pirates and innocent civilians who he thinks got in his way of justice. Sakazuki follows the ideals of absolute justice like the majority of the marines and views anything different from that as opposition to true peace. Aokiji or Kuzan is very much a lazy individual who would only really fight someone if he had to or again deemed them too dangerous for society, though his beliefs of justice has changed over the years into what is not jokingly referred to as "lazy justice". Kuzan has for the most part been a loyal officer, though in the last twenty or so years his stance absolute justice has changed. He follows Sengoku's orders though the friction between Sakazuki is still present along with his doubts about the marine's way of peacekeeping. Admiral Kizaru or Borsalino is someone whose ambition aren't really displayed often if at all. He has the same open smile and relaxed look in his eyes wherever he goes, no matter who it is and speaks in a slow relaxed tone that draws out each syllable of the words that come from his mouth. It is a heavy contrast to his devil fruit the "pika pika no mi" which gives him the ability to become light and move at it's speed, yet he speaks so slow. Kizaru is the same with everyone he meets whether it be his other colleagues, Sengoku or a pirate its all the same with him, he's always been indifferent to virtually any issue brought in front of him. It's almost like he doesn't fear anything period.
He doesn't mind someone else doing the work he doesn't want to, he also seems pretty content with his position and does not do anything to discredit the position he's grown comfortable in.
His motto is "unclear justice" and it is very apparent in the way he acts, deciding whether the actions of some pirates truly deserve the punishment that Akainu would give them. Kizaru sees two types of pirates the greedy, deceitful and emotion driven scourge of the world and the less common pirates who only go out to sea for adventure or the freedom that is only able to be felt when off of the land and out sailing through the four blues, though in truth that type of pirate is hard to find. But in all the decades of being a marine he has yet to meet a pirate who genuinely uses their time helping people than causing a ruckus in the world. And for those who may seem like they help, though Kizaru thinks it's just a ploy to feel less guilty about their piracy. Many marines both of the new generation and old see Kizaru's way as a very strange one. He is very unpredictable in the sense that he hates pirates one moment then somehow sympathies with a smile on his face and then kills them. He sees both sides and while he does make a decision, to other people he seems like a very indecisive person. Though It could be from the way he speaks or the fact that he looks like he would show you mercy before giving you a grade A light enhanced kick through a large building. Sakazuki believes that Borsalino has no focus. Now if he said he had no ambition to rise any further from the admiral rank then that was fine. Though he can be quite focused when the time calls for it. though maybe if he did have more drive things would be more different. Though to Kizaru as of now he will do what is required, to him a job completed is a job completed and that there is no need to complain about how he does it as long as the work is done.
The world is a dangerous place for people of all backgrounds, but in the new world it is especially dangerous when considering the yonko are the reigning powers there despite some marine intervention we've tried to implement in the area.
The marines try to uphold justice but when it comes to a yonko it is usually advised to leave them and their territories alone. Apart from that, Sakazuki diligently follows his absolute justice in ridding the "trash" as he calls it from the world as best as he can whilst keeping his infamous temper in check and as Kuzan follows his lazy moral compass and fight only when Sengoku screams an order in his ears or if he feels if it's required, Kizaru will venture through the world ridding the earth of scum as he was trained to do and avoid any conflicts he doesn't feel like intervening in. Though something has been giving him a strange feeling, as if someone was behind him whispering a warning that he needed to be prepared for this new generation and he does not like that feeling of that not one bit.

(Kizaru's point of view)
Kizaru was in his office doing the dreaded thing all navy commanders loath, paperwork. This horrible kraken has kept him stuck behind his desk for the past hour and a half and he was in reality bearly half way done with the paperwork Garp dumped on his desk. He was the Vice Admiral he should be doing this rubbish.
"Hmmm paperwork is sure boring, I should probably get one of the vice admirals to do this boring labor." Kizaru said to himself while signing away at the pile of papers in front of him.
"Ahhh but that would not be good for me to do that they are my subordinates not my slaves. Or I could just sneak this pile of disease into Garp's office when he's not there." said Kizaru
As Kizaru was about to sign another document he heard a knock on his office door.
"It's okay you can enter" said Kizaru
The door opens and surprisingly one of the vice admirals steps forward and salutes at Kizaru. He had a striped purple suit, a standard Vice Admiral coat, A long sword on his hip and of course his signature mustache. It was none other than vice admiral Momonga.
"Ahhh Momonga what do I owe the pleasure." said Kizaru
"Sir, Fleet Admiral Sengoku has ordered me to come here and tell you of an assignment he has for you and that we both should see him as soon as possible." said Momonga
"Ohh really well then we shouldn't keep the man waiting then, let's go" said Kizaru as he makes his way for the door ready to leave the gruesome task of paperwork.
"Why do I have the feeling that something bad is coming our way?" thought Kizaru as he stopped in the middle of his office with a slight shiver in his spine.
"Sir are you alright?" said Momonga
"Yes, I'm just thinking about the paperwork over on my desk." said Kizaru with a grin on his face
"Then we should continue forward. We would not want to keep the fleet admiral waiting, sir." said Momonga
"Aaahh, yes you are right we should really get going." said Kizaru
"Whatever happens, I'll deal with it when the time comes. If it does happen come our way that is. But for now I'll see what Sengoku needs." thought Kizaru as he and Momonga leave his office
Next chapter: Sengoku's orders
Authors note : This is my first fanfic and I wanted to write one about admiral kizaru from one piece because he is my favourite character from the series and there isn't that many that feature him as a prevalent character let alone the main character of a story. So for this story he is going to be the main character and I plan on changing a few things about him from the canon series and add my own personal interpretation of his thoughts and abilities as well as creating new islands. For example, I will be adding more light based techniques for the pika pika no mi and or upgrades to his previous move-set, particularly his "Yata no kagami" ability and his light speed movement capabilities. Considering that the yata no kagami is supposed to be in reality a sacred mirror featured in shinto myths, I thought of having it acting like a shield of light following behind Kizaru protecting him and providing a boost to his observation haki by emitting light around him in a certain radius, where he can virtually see everything with his boosted observation haki. The idea is kind of similar to Enel using electromagnetic waves to hear the people below him.
I will also add more about his past roughly a year or so maybe, before Saboady because i wanted to add more to him before confronting the straw hats and hopefully have the opportunity to write about other islands or Kizaru's interaction with others and writing new fights with him or change the canonical fights with him in it. Ex: Kizaru vs Rayleigh. And of course to add more new techniques for him.
I do not own One Piece, credit for the series creation belongs to Eiichiro Oda.
Again I hope you all enjoy this chapter of The light speed admiral. See you next time.
