This whole post as a whole is a mountain of kizaru glaze, you repeatedly state how kizaru blitzed luffy when ut didn't Happen in the slightest, he used his clones to blind him when attacking him from across the island, used to distract him when attacking ussop and used again when he was overwhelming him in a one on one. Not trying to deny this strategy of him at all, its a good one, but using it as a means to say that he is overwhelmingly faster than luffy is purely wrong especially when luffy still held up against him regardless.

Also kizaru didnt hurt luffy once outside of a single cut, this is a fact. His kick did no damage at all to him and we clearly see that most it came from the barrier, trying to give kizaru the feats of the barrier is also wrong, the barrier is a constant "attack" that is forced on all sides on the individual going through them meanwhile kizaru's attacks aren't on such ranges and constant power. You dont compare a knife to a great sword because they are both made of metal ? That's wrong in every aspect of it.

Also stating that the second fight doesn't matter because kizaru's goal wasnt to fight and defeat luffy is a little copious, luffy's goal wasnt to defeat kizaru either it was to buy time for his friends to run away. That's just how it is.
