Description[]

Interlude[]
Nero: Today's combatants are lazy as hell, but do not underestimate them, their gift is in unpredictability.
Phoenix: Like Kizaru the admiral that can go the speed of light.
Gerona: And Shikamaru Nara the genius of Konoha
Phoenix: I am Phoenix Wright and they are Nero and Gerona, and together we analyze the fighters, sources, weapons, skills, abilities, feats, strategy, intelligence, and more to see who would win a Death Battle.
Kizaru[]
N: Aokiji/Kuzan, Akainu/Sakazuki, and Kizaru/Borsalino were the three Admirals during the time of Marineford. They got the position for their years of experience as Marines, combat experience, and feats of power.
Kizaru
- Aliases: Borsalino, Yellow Monkey
- Position: Marine Admiral
- First Appearance: Chapter 504
- Height: 9 feet 11 inches
- Weight: 335 pounds
- Age: 58
- Managed to make friends with Akainu
P: Kizaru enlisted in the Marines, around roughly the same time as Akainu did. Kizaru was the only member of the original Admirals to not be seen during the obliteration of Ohara. But we do see Kizaru facing off with Arlong, shortly after the Sun Pirates disbanded.
N: He seemed to be a Mafia Don, when did he find pot?
G: NERO shut up, Kizaru is not high on marijuana!! Anyways, Kizaru stomped Arlong and had him arrested in Impel Down Prison. This may have been what got Kizaru promoted to the rank of Admiral.
N: Years later, a young pirate named Monkey D. Luffy punches a Celestial Dragon douchebag named Charles, which prompts Kizaru to arrive and kick some serious ass at Sabaody Archipelago, wiping out the Supernovas with ease. Basil Hawkins, Scratchman Appo, X Drake, Urouge, and others.
P: Kizaru fights at the war at Marineford, managing to face off with Whitebeard and emerging unscathed. He even dueled with Marco the Phoenix. Kizaru went home unscathed, and he didn't even give a fuck about the Fleet Admiral Position.
G: (In her best game show host impression) And how did he manage to do that?
N: Cause Kizaru was blessed with an OP devil fruit Devil Fruit, a Logia the Pika Pika no Mi that allows for him to become or use light to attack or defend. He may even be the speed of light.
The Pika Pika No mi
- Translation: Glint Glint or Light Light Fruit
- Type: Logia
- Alows the user to become and use light based attacks
- Allows for the user to move at high speeds, at least FTS, implied to be FTL
P: Kizaru is adept in many means of attack. Kizaru can form laser swords, fire death beams like Frieza, in a peace sign in an attack called Amateresu, and is adept in two forms of haki Observation (allows Kizaru to sense attacks, or life forms), and Armament (shroud his body with ki like thing to protect himself in an armor or attack.) He is highly adept at both
Techniques and Haki
- Observation Haki
- Armament Haki
- You're Dying Now
- Yata No Kagami
- Amateresu
- Ama no Murakumo Sword
- Yasakani Sacred Jewel
- Ama no Iwato
G: Kizaru is one of the strongest characters in One Piece: he could move near the speed of light, soloe'd the supernovas, faced off against the Whitebeard Pirates, and escaped Marineford unscathed.
Feats
- Appeared in front of and attacked Scratchman Appo before he realized what is happening
- One shotted Urouge in his muscled up form
- Damaged Whitebeard
- Light pierced through Aokiji's ice and went deep through the ocean
- Light split part of the ocean
- Should scale to Akainu/Aokiji who could cover an island with ice and magma and permanently affect it
- Reacted to a canonball
- Rebuilt himself from being sliced in half
- Badly damaged Marco
- Pinned down Whitebeard's naginata
- Took a shockwave
- Held own with Marco, Whitebeard (old), and Silvers Reyleigh
N: Kizaru is not perfect however: while he may go at light speed, he has to go in one direction where it is refracting, tends to stand still a lot, while he isn't stupid tends to act dully, and often just takes attacks.
Weaknesses
- Often just takes attacks
- To go light speed has to go in one certain direction. Cannot just turn
- Seems to think slow
- Don't know the full extent of his powers
P: But Kizaru is one tough Admiral and deserves the position
(Kizaru duels Marco)
Shikamaru Nara[]
N: Shikamaru Nara is probably the most famous of his clan, the Nara clan, renown for their genius level intellect, shadow possession jutsu, and their lazy nature.
Shikamaru Nara
- Alias: Shadow Boy, Dad, Uncle Shikamaru
- Position: Shinobi and Assistant to the Hokage
- First Appearance: Chapter 34
- Height: 5 feet 7 inches
- Weight: 116.8 pounds
- Age: Early 30's
- Smartest Shinobi of his generation
P: And boy can you bet Shikamaru is lazy, well initially. Shikamaru perfectly understood what he was learning in Ninja School, he was just too lazy to apply it. In training, Shikamaru was more fond of taking naps, but was friends with Choji so he was willing to utilize teamwork.
G: A lot changed in the Chunin Exams. Shikamaru revealed his true potential in his duel with Temari, where he outwitted the feisty sand Ninja, but before he could finish her off, decided to surrender giving the reasoning, that he was out of chakra and it was foolish to go on, this impressed the judges, and Shikamaru was the only one in his generation to be advanced to Chunin.
N: Shikamaru was placed as Leader of the Sasuke Retrieval Crew, which ran into problems very fast. Not only (thanks to Naruto and Kiba) did his crew struggle to get along, but they dueled the Sound 5. Shikamaru managed to force Tayuya to think on her toes but Temari had to step in. The mission was a bust, but Shikamaru's leadership skills impressed the higher ups and Shikamaru would be entrusted as leader later on.
P: But after the Sasuke Retrieval Mission, Shikamaru realized that completing a mission succesfully and leading was just as satisfying as cloud watching and napping, and began applying himself. Shikamaru worked harder on improving his teamwork, training, and leading other Shinobi.
G: Shikamaru was also there to help with the Akatsuki, along with Asuma and a few Ninjas, managed to approach Kakuzu and Hidan with a surefire strategy to win. And it seemed to work, until Hidan revealed his true power and fucking killed Asuma.
N: Enraged Shikamaru had to come up with a strategy to get past Hidan's immortality, but eventually he managed to find a way. Burying the body parts after just nuking the shit out of the zombie.
P: Shikamaru went through grief, a Shinobi War, and even Infinite Tsukuyomi. But ends up with Temari and has a son of his own. He even got the sweet position of being Naruto's assistant and advisor as Hokage.
G: Shikamaru has loads of tricks in his bag for his opponent, he is very skilled with Ninjitsu. An example is his clan's Shadow Position Jutsu where he uses the shadows to control his opponent's movements or stop them in their tracks. Shadow Neck Binding Jutsu restrains and chokes the opponent, which he has captured.

N: Shikamaru is a very talented Shinobi: capable of outwitting the likes of Temari, Hidan, and Tayuya, holding his own against Hidan a member of the Akatsuki, and was able to defeat Hidan the immortal man.
Feats
- Outwitted Hidan, Tayuya, Temari, and Kin

P: Shikamaru does have some limitations: his shadows require light and a flat surface, he is not as physically powerful as other Shinobis, his strategies do take time so that leaves him vulnerable.
Weaknesses
- Shadows need light and flat surfaces
- Physically limited
- Strategies take time leaving Nara vulnerable
- Shadow Jutsu drains Shikamaru
- If his foe is drastically stronger, the shadow is just a brief restraint
G: But Shikamaru is the smartest shinobi
(Shikamaru raises his arm as does Temari)
The Fight[]
In a busy city, Shikamaru is walking through the city carrying groceries for Temari (who is not there), and trying to make his way home. The groceries are precarious, when suddenly a burst of light brushes past Shikamaru, causing the ninja to drop the groceries. Eggs splatter and apples and the gallon of milk bursts.
"What a drag," Shikamaru sighs as he sees the light stop. A tall man in a yellow suit appears, which Shikamaru approaches.
"You made me drop my groceries, now I have to go back to buy more," Shikamaru said with slight annoyance, "And that's a drag. Also I don't recognize you, meaning you're not from Konoha. I'm going to ask you to leave or, I'll have to take matters in my own hands. Which is troublesome."
"Eh," Kizaru said slowly, "I don't intend on leaving. But I apologize for your groceries."
"Then I'll have to stop you myself," Shikamaru said pulling a kunai.
FIGHT!
Shikamaru throws the kunai at Kizaru, aiming for the area where his eyes meet his nose. Kizaru however turns into light and appears behind Shikamaru.
"Suprise," Kizaru said slowly chuckling.
"Wait what," Shikamaru said with surprise, especially shocked that Kizaru was able to just turn into light. Kizaru turns his foot into light and kicks Shikamaru through a few walls. The ninja crashes through the buildings destroying them. Kizaru stands waiting to see the outcome, as the Shadow Ninja gets up from the rubble. This newcomer was stronger and more troublesome than Shikamaru thought, this would require stamina and distance play. Shikamaru runs behind a few buildings and climbs up one. He would have to use Shadow Possession Jutsu to be able to defeat the Marine.
However, Kizaru appears behind Kizaru poised to kick. Shikamaru's eyes widen, the Admiral just appeared. Kizaru kicks Shikamaru through buildings again.

Trivia[]
-The title of the soundtrack would be: Lightspeed Nap Possession, the meaning is Lightspeed represents Kizaru as he goes well light speed (probably), Nap implies both of them being lazy but Shikamaru often takes more naps, and Possession being shadow position. The cover would have the yellow jacket Kizaru wears with Shikamaru's headband and cigarette
-Track would be calm, and relaxed yet still exciting.
