</tabber>
==Summary==
Real name Borsalino, Kizaru is the only pre-timeskip Admiral to have retained his position after the timeskip, after Akainu was promoted and Aokiji left. He has somewhat of an absentminded and out-there personality, committing such acts as mistaking his snail wiretap for his phone, and politely asking the pirates who just shot at him if they could help him find his acquaintance.
Befitting this, his Justice is "Unclear Justice", a purposely unspecified type of justice that allows him to simply do what is ordered of him.
He has eaten the Glint-Glint Fruit (Pika-Pika no Mi), which allows him to manipulate, create, and turn into the element of light. Several of his abilities include being able to fire laser beams and traveling at the speed of light.

Due to being an Admiral, his Kenbunshoku should be at least as good as Issho's and superior to Koby's)
* Light Manipulation, Intangibility, and Inorganic Physiology (Elemental, Type 1 - With Pika Pika no Mi. Borsalino Devil Fruit is a Logia Type that allows him to become, produce, and manipulate lightOne Piece Vol. 52 Chapter 510. Due to being made of light, Borsalino can't be hurt conventionallyOne Piece Vol. 52 Chapter 507. The only ways to counter his intangibility are by using Haki, the element's natural counterOne Piece Road to Laughtale Databook Vol. 3, or some type of durability negation)
*Regeneration (High - Borsalino's Devil Fruit allows him to regenerate from any damage as long as his true body is not hit)

They can become and attack with the new type of elementOne Piece Vol. 70 Chapter 691 as well as use it as camouflage in it to trick their opponentOne Piece Vol. 20 Chapter 177. Borsalino is capable of hiding within his own attacks to end up elsewhere without his opponent knowing. He was able to bypass Luffy's Kenbunshoku Haki by doing this)
*Acrobatics, and Pseudo-Flight (Hypermobility and Self-Momentum - Borsalino can travel far distances by turning into light and bouncing off of them like mirrors. He can also change the direction of his movement mid-air without coming into contact with anything else)
*Damage Boost and Statistics Amplification, (Borsalino can use his ability to enhance the speed of physical attacksOne Piece Vol. 109 Chapter 1108. While using Yata no Kagami, he can accelerate, increasing his speed and powerOne Piece Vol. 108 Chapter 1092)
*Likely Flight (Pseudo), Statistics Amplification (Durability and Speed), Body Control and Damage Reduction, and Air Manipulation with Rokushiki (As a high-ranking official in the Navy, Sakazuki was likely trained in Rokushiki just like the Vice Admirals and Koby)
Resistance to:
*Light Manipulation and Heat Manipulation, (All Logias are resistant to their respective elements)
*Madness Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation via Willpower (Through sheer willpower they can resist losing their mind when absorbing shadows through the Kage Kage no Mi. Shadows belonging to strong willed people are difficult to control, allowing them to rebel against Moria's pact which usually immediately submits a shadow to his supremacy and orders. Spiritual energy is contained within one's soul/life; this energy is represented by the fighting power or the Haki itself. Those with strong souls, which are homologous to shadows, resist the effects of Brook's soul manipulation)
Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level (Should be comparable to his fellow colleagues4.56 Petatons, possibly 67.2 Exatons) | Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level+ (Could fight and clash with Snakeman Luffy18.24 Petatons, possibly 268.8 Exatons), higher with Acceleration (Can increase his power after accelerating, allowing him to send Snakeman Luffy flying through Egghead's barrier with just a single hit), Can ignore conventional durability with Heat (Capable of punching holes through Whitebeard using his light beams)
Speed: FTL+ combat speed (Parried Rayleigh's slashes. Reacted to Marco's kick. Is stated to be the fastest admiral. Could morph around Whitebeard's naginata swing. Can react to his own lightspeed movement), Speed of Light attack speed (Can fire light beams and attacks at this speed) and travel speed with Yata no Kagami (Able to move his own body at the speed of light), up to at least FTL+ travel speed with Acceleration (Can accelerate in his light form, continuously gaining speed and moving beyond the speed of light)
Lifting Strength: Class E (Capable of pinning down Whitebeard's naginata under his foot) | Class Y
Striking Strength: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level, higher with Acceleration | Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level+, higher with Acceleration
Durability: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level (Blocked a kick from Hybrid Marco), Logia Dispersion also makes him very hard to kill unless circumvented | Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level+
Stamina: Superhuman (He didn't show any strain or fatigue after battling for hours at the Marineford Battle. His former colleagues were also able to continuously battle one another for ten days)
Range: Extended Melee Range, Several Meters with Light Sword, Hundreds of Meters with Projectiles and Lasers
Standard Equipment: As an Admiral, he has a Den-Den Mushi (telephone) on his wrist which he uses to communicate with other marine and World Government forces, or summon Buster Call.
Intelligence: Above Average (Borsalino is accomplished and highly experienced combatant and very proficient in the use of his Devil Fruit ability, and has enough strategic ability to hold the rank of admiral, commanding many marine forces.)
Weaknesses: Standard Devil Fruit users weaknesses. He must leave his light state to physically attack, he needs to create a mirror path (Yata no Kagami) in order to travel at lightspeed unless he travels in a straight path, and cannot change his course when traveling at that speed. Takes a few seconds for him to enter his light state. When he is not taking a fight serious he often spaces out and ignores his opponenthttps://imgur.com/a/gjlKN7m
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Haki: There are normally two types of Haki standard people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busōshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is, however, a third type of Haki, Haōshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use. Kizaru is not one of these people.
*Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): Kizaru is shown using this type of Haki, but his level of application is unknown. He had created a wall with the other Admirals to block a quake from Whitebeard, which is an application of Goken, thus he should be highly proficient or even advanced in its level of application.
*Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation): Kizaru is confirmed to be a user of Kenbunshoku Haki, but his level of application is never explored. He should at least have an adept if not highly proficient level of application.
Pika Pika no Mi (Glimmer Glimmer Fruit): A Logia type Devil Fruit, this fruit allows the user to transform into light at will as well as control it. It also enables him to move at the speed of light and transport himself by means of reflection. The fruit's major strengths, like other Logia types, allows the user to become the element they control. From this, Kizaru is able to utilize light based attacks such as explosive lasers. The elemental state the ability endows him with also allows him to avoid conventional attacks as they only disperse him. It is likely that he can be reflected like ordinary light while in light form. He is also extremely accurate with his abilities, able to hit the key to Ace's handcuffs from a far distance.
*Yata no Kagami (Eight Span Mirror): Borsalino forms light in between his hands, and reflects it off any surface he wishes. He then transforms into the light in order to get to his desired location.
*Ama no Murakumo (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven): Borsalino forms a long, very sharp sword out of light and solidifies it, similar to Admiral Aokiji's "Ice Saber" technique.
*Amaterasu (Heavenly Illumination): Borsalino points his index and middle finger into the air or at his enemies (in the form of a peace sign), and emits a powerful flash of light, blinding his opponent, or any enemies in the vicinity
*Yasakani no Magatama (Eight Shaku Curved Jewel): Borsalino uses both hands to fire a torrent of deadly light particles, causing extreme damage to whatever they hit. Borsalino can control the spread of the attack, limiting it to a single person or covering a wide area. It also has great piercing powers, penetrating a thick layer of ice and then entering deep into the water with ease.
*Laser-beams: Not a named technique, and appears to be a generic attack by Kizaru. He shoots a laser-like beam from his fingers, or feet (beyond situational preference, it doesn't seem to matter for him where he shoots his lasers from) which possesses exceptional piercing power and explodes when it strikes the ground (so far hasn't been shown to explode upon hitting a human, as it has pierced right through everyone it has hit).
