It was stated Darui's storm release laser circus in the guide to be emitting light rays. Does that mean its automatically light speed??

Can u explain why it wouldnt be light speed in your terms? Cuz my friend said the likes of Kizaru in One piece can shoot light speed beams but it cna destroy stuff therefore it isnt light speed cuz it has mass. For what im saying to him is that laser circus hasnt shown any statement it being light speed or photons.
 
Most lasers in fiction are not real or provable as real. Often they are supernatural in nature and do not function anywhere close to how real light should. Therefore, lasers/light beams are only accepted as real if they meet, at a minimum, a few of these criteria:

  • The beam refracts in a new material, such as a liquid or...
  • The beam reflects off a material that it can be expected to, such as a non-magical mirror
  • The beam is called lightspeed by credible scientific sources
  • It is stated to be made of photons or light itself, again by a credible scientific source
  • It has its origin at a realistic source of light, such as a camera
Furthermore, there are a few criteria which show a beam is NOT real light:

  • It is shown at different speeds in the same material
  • It is tangible and can be interacted with physically by normal humans
  • They do not travel in straight lines (unless you can prove refraction/reflection, see above)

Why is that statement characters moving at light speed is more ideal than fake lasers in fiction?
 
because it's solid proof that it's real light if it has a statement calling light speed even that you will still need more ebidence cause Light speed is really strict on this site.
 
The question seems to be answered, does the OP have anything else to ask?.
