User blog comment:Seicer/Kizaru really it was afraid of benn beckman or he was joking with him?/@comment-3119203-20120507020015

Think for a minute. You are a Marine admiral attacking an enemy ship. Suddenly you see a gun pointing your direction. No problem, right? Wait......is that a Yonko over there? Then this is.......a Yonko's first mate. Especially for a guy who got knocked out the sky by Marco, Kizaru is understandably a little hesitant. And unlike Whitebeard, Beckman is in his prime. If I had a guy as strong as him pointing a gun at him, I would stop what I was doing too.

So overall, I wouldn't say Kizaru is afraid, bu wary. Smart. Even for an absent-minded guy like Kizaru, Beckman is a threat.
