One Piece chapter #1103 suggests that Admiral Kizaru may have betrayed the World Government, secretly helping Luffy for the benefit of Bonney and Sentomaru. This chapter has raised suspicions that Kizaru may have been the one who fed Luffy to help him recover from the consequences of using Gear Five.

Only Kizaru can help Luffy
In chapter #1103, the scene of Luffy asking for food is almost immediately followed by the scene of Kizaru lying on the floor thinking about Bonney and Sentomaru.

Luffy.

Kizaru is able to betray Saturn to ensure Sentomaru and Bonney escape
Kizaru’s supposed betrayal appears to be motivated by his desire to protect Bonney and Sentomaru., both of whom Kizaru was worried about when Luffy asked for food in chapter #1103. With the dire situation in Egghead with Bonney under Saint Saturn’s control and Sentomaru also captured by the Navy, Kizaru may have no choice but to depend on Luffy to cause enough chaos for Bonney and Sentomaru escapes. More importantly, as seen in Kuma’s flashback, Kizaru seems to have become quite close with both Kuma and Bonney during his short time in Egghead..
Chapter #1100 reveals Kizaru eating and dancing to Nika’s heartbeat along with Sentomaru, Vegapunk, Bonney and Kuma during their party in Egghead, despite claiming they were there for business. The scene evokes a sense of camaraderie that may have motivated Kizaru to try to protect Bonney, more so since he was one of the few people who knew Bonney’s true age and she was still just a child. Party and eating scenes are often used by Eiichiro Oda to portray the close friendship between a group of people, so it is no coincidence that Kizaru was included there.
Kizaru’s relationship with Sentomaru is also no secret. As seen in chapter #1091, Kizaru may be the closest thing to a father figure in Sentomaru’s life, having known him since he was a child and trained him to be Vegapunk’s protector. Thus, while Kizaru may have no qualms about killing pirates, he may view Bonney and Sentomaru as objectively innocent and their deaths as unjust according to his personal ideals and philosophy of justice. his. It is true that Kizaru personally took down Sentomaru during his attack on Egghead, but it is also true that he did not kill him, despite having the opportunity to do so.

One Piece is a series that seems to be afraid of killing characters, but the touching reason was shared by author Eiichiro Oda.
Kizaru’s idea of justice justifies his betrayal
Like Akainu and Aokiji, Kizaru also has his own unique sense of justice, described as “Unclear Justice”. The name tell everythings, Kizaru’s philosophy exhibits moral ambiguity and forms a gray area between Akainu’s and Aokiji’s polarized ideas of justice. As such, Kizaru often oscillates between indifference and surprising cruelty, best shown when Kizaru personally captured 500 pirates after the events at Marineford just to vent his anger. Therefore, while Kizaru may not have completely turned his back on the Marines like Aokiji, he can justify helping Luffy, even though he is a pirate, if it means ensuring his survival. by Bonney and Sentomaru.
The turning point for Kizaru seems to be listening to Saturn’s account of Bonney and Kuma’s past. Although Kizaru was present during some of those events, the true extent of Saturn’s cruelty may have escaped him – especially given that the Elder was the one who caused Ginny and Bonney’s illness in the first place, then used that same disease to manipulate Kuma and turn him into a soulless machine slave.
A change of heart and perhaps loyalty would be consistent with the ideals of “Unclear Justice” and with Kizaru’s presence in Bonney and Kuma’s past. Overall, Kizaru’s betrayal could prove to be a great opportunity for A piece to draw attention to underlying themes of moral ambiguity and inspire discussions about the complex dichotomy between good and evil in the world of piracy.
