Kizaru is supposed to be impervious to physical attacks, but he didn't engage
Beckman, so was it because he didn't want to fight Beckman at the moment and
thereby starting a war with the Red Hair Pirates or was it because Beckman's
rifle is special?

Why didn't Kizaru engage Beckman in the Marineford War?


Quoting [One Piece Wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Benn_Beckman):

> According to Oda, Beckman has the highest IQ of all the characters
> introduced in the East Blue saga. Since he is a first mate to a Yonko, he
> presumably possesses a great deal of strength. During the Battle of
> Marineford, Admiral Kizaru chose not to fight him, even though he had just
> fought the First Commander of Whitebeard's crew and Whitebeard himself.

We see Marguerite attacking Luffy with an Haki infused arrow here:

**Benn Beckman being the first mate of the Red Hair Pirates obviously has
incredible power and Haki.** Since Kizaru as well backed off, it makes it
evident that Beckmann can imbue his bullets in Haki as well, although that
hasn't been directly shown yet.

**Another reason would obviously be to avoid engaging in a war with the Red
Hair Pirates/one of the Yonko.** We already saw the kind of power the Yonko
have when it took the whole of Marine Power to subdue Whitebeard. **Needless
to say, had they engaged in a war with Shanks, there would have been many more
casualties**.

As per the Wikia article on [Battle of
Marineford](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Marineford):

> Shanks threatens both the Marines and Blackbeard pirates alike to have his
> entire crew involved in the fighting, if they chose to continue the war.
> With the Gura Gura no Mi under his possession, Teach no longer sees the
> point in resuming the battle and has his crew depart from the battlefield.
> As Blackbeard leaves the scene, the **absence of a designated rival and
> presence of a powerful Yonko** convinces Sengoku to concede to the necessity
> of a ceasefire, ordering the Marines to tend to the wounded.

**The last and final reason I can think of is that the Marines had already
achieved their goal of executing Ace and also managed to get rid of
Whitebeard. There wasn't any reason to engage Beckman in the first place,
unless they were looking for a needless battle.**

Ben Beckman's bullets may have been made of Kairouseki, meaning sea stone. As
we all know Devil fruit holders(like Kizaru) are weak against sea stone. No
such thing as Sea stone bullets have been explained in the anime yet, it is
certainly possible as we are talking about a Yonko here. Everyone is scared of
Red Haired Shanks, and he may have even persuaded Dr. Vegapunk to make such
things for him. The Navy must know all about this,but cannot go against
Vegapunk because he is an essential person for them.

Benn Beckman is said to have the highest IQ in all of East blue and I think
that's the case for a reason, let's think what is faster than light, nothing
but in a way your mind can be faster for example you can imagine being on the
other side of the world in an instant which is faster than light or at least
kizaru's speed. So maybe Benn Beckman or Beckmen has some kind of mind mind no
mi of mind mind fruit that makes him the most knowledgeable and maybe also
grants him the speed of mind which is in theory faster than light.
