The most heated debate ever since MarineFord Arc Who is stronger than Who. In this Who debate, we are about to end the comparison between these two Legends
Benn Beckman Vs Kizaru
Kizaru’s Pika Pika no Mi makes him the fastest thing in the series but speed doesn’t always equal victory just as Foxy and his slow-slow powers. First we need to have a overview of our characters
Benn Beckman Power and Abilities
Benn Beckman is a Haki powerhouse known for his mastery of Armament Haki and rumored Advanced Haki techniques. With unmatched intelligence he’s the strategist of the Red Haired Pirates, often staying two steps ahead of his opponents. His weapon of choice a rifle isn’t just for show he coats bullets with Armament Haki making them lethal even against Logia users. His abilities are still covered in mystery yet his presence alone made Admiral Kizaru hesitate at Marineford. As Shanks’ right hand man Beckman’s strength and precision make him as one of the most feared and respected figures in One Piece.
Admiral Kizaru Power and Abilities
Admiral Kizaru wields the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia type Devil Fruit that grants him control over light making him the fastest character in One Piece. He can fire laser beams, teleport at light speed, dodge uncoated haki weapons without moving and deliver kicks with immense destructive power. His combat style is loaded with speed and precision enabling him to dominate opponents before they can react. As an Admiral, Kizaru is a Haki master but still he is often seen relying on his Devil Fruit powers more. His carefree and trolling personality hides his deadly capabilities as seen during Marineford, where he effortlessly overwhelmed the Supernovas. Kizaru is unpredictably a dangerous guy.
Benn Beckman Pointing Gun at Kizaru in Marineford War
First thing first, lets revisit Marineford Arc where Benn Beckman took out a rifle and aimed it at Kizaru. And what did our shiny admiral do? He froze. O God! that was literally a OG scene. Imagine, the man who casually teleports and kicks cannonballs like they are soccer balls stopped in his tracks. Now, people love to argue about this scene “Kizaru wasn’t serious” they say. Bro, have you seen this guy? He’s trolling 24/7, but even he knows when not to push his luck. Oda didn’t throw that moment in for giggles – he was making a point. Benn Beckman is a beast and you don’t mess with him unless you have a death wish.
Benn stronger than Kizaru
Let’s be real Oda hasn’t given us much about Benn Beckman. The dude is like the Sasuke to Shanks’ Naruto – quiet, brooding and ridiculously powerful. What we do know is that he got a top tier Armament Haki, brains that rival Vegapunk, gangster attitude that makes even Kizaru think twice and a rifle, which is not just for show.
Now lets give Kizaru some spotlight. The man is a human laser show with insane speed and precision with destructive power. He’s literally an admiral for a reason. We all know what he did to the Worst Generation on Sabaody, right?
Kizaru’s over reliance on his Devil Fruit could be a problem. Benn Beckman doesn’t need fancy powers; he’s all about that raw Haki energy. We have seen time and time again, Haki is the greatest equalizer in the One Piece world. Theories are flying around that Benn coats his bullets in Advanced Armament Haki maybe even Conqueror’s Haki. Imagine getting hit by a bullet packed with enough Haki to one shot a Yonko commander. Scary, right? You could be wondering about how bullets are covered with Conqueror’s Haki when Benn doesn’t seen yet showing that skill. The only possible scenario which feels real is Shanks charging Benn’s bullets with Conqueror’s Haki. Yes, this thing is possible because we have seen this when JoyBoy’s Conqueror’s Haki was released from the Emmett. And let’s not forget, Benn is a battlefield mastermind. Dude’s probably playing 4D chess while everyone else is still learning checkers.
One Piece Film Red Drops Some Bombshells
Film Red gave us even more fuel for this debate. According to the official material from Oda, Kizaru fears Benn Beckman. Let me say that again: an Admiral fears Benn Beckman. Thats something like Kaido looking nervous when Luffy pulls out Gears. This just doesn’t happen unless the opponent is the real deal. In the movie, Benn’s described as Shanks’ “spiritual pillar” and someone whose strength makes even Kizaru hesitate is absolutely wild. Mark one thing, Oda himself was involved in this movie’s production, so you can’t just dismiss it as non canon fluff.
Who will Win in a Fight ?
So, could Benn Beckman actually beat Kizaru in a one on one fight depends on few things. If it’s a straight up battle Benn might have the upper hand with his Haki mastery and strategic mind. And If Kizaru gets serious and unleashes his full speed, Benn could struggle. But if Benn can predict his moves and land one of those Haki-coated shots then Game over for Kizaru. Speed and intensity of attacks and lucky shot will play a major role in this fight whenever happens. Its like asking if Mihawk would beat Shanks – it’s not just about raw power but the context of the fight. As One Piece is approaching its end means we are about to see the biggest fight yet and almost every character seen yet is going to be a part of it. Kizaru will eventually face someone and Benn seems to have a good chance of completing their unfinished battle, if in the end Red-Haired Pirates teams up with Straw Hat Pirates. At the end of the day, Benn Beckman isn’t just Shanks right hand man for nothing. He’s powerful as well as calculated and among those few characters who can make someone like Kizaru back down.
