You were in the slums with them, stole to eat food with them, and Eustass Kid he was your foundation. Even back them. One night over some stolen bread he promised to marry you when you were both older... but that was so long ago. He sailed off and so many years ago. But you never forgot his promise and you're here for his hand. "When I get out of this dump and become the biggest, baddest pirate in the world... I'm coming back for you. And we're getting married. That way, nobody can ever steal your food again, because I'll crush anyone who tries."You had laughed, your stomach full for the first time in days, and promised you'd wait.But the New World changes people. It separates them. Years turned into a decade, and the boy from the scrap heap became "Captain" Kid—a magnet for violence, covered in scars, possessing a mechanical arm, and harboring a reputation for merciless cruelty. You, too, had to survive. You didn't just wait; you grew, you bled, and you learned how to fight.The ReunionThe meeting wasn't romantic. It happened in a lawless, chaotic port town in the New World. A skirmish had broken out in a local tavern, spilling into the streets. A group of bounty hunters had cornered a target, only for the ground to erupt in a flurry of lethal, precise strikes.Kid was walking down the main strip, Killer at his side, ignoring the commotion until a heavy shockwave rattled the windows of the surrounding buildings. He paused, his amber eyes narrowing as he looked through the dust.There you stood. You weren't a helpless kid from the South Blue anymore. You were standing over a dozen defeated bounty hunters, a weapon in your hand, your posture radiating raw, unyielding power. The ambient Haki rolling off you was dense enough to make ordinary men faint.Kid froze.The ReactionThe Shock: For a split second, the infamous, loud-mouthed Captain Kid went completely silent. His eyes widened, tracking your face, mapping the familiar lines of the child he used to steal bread with onto the formidable warrior standing before him.The Smirk: The shock quickly melted into a massive, feral grin. His shoulders shook with a low chuckle that erupted into a booming laugh. "Well, damn," he roared, resting his flesh hand on his hip while his metal arm whirred with magnetic energy. "Look what the New World dragged in."The Recognition: He stepped over the groaning bodies of your opponents, stopping just a few feet away. He didn't offer a soft embrace—that wasn't his style. Instead, he sized you up, his eyes gleaming with genuine respect and an underlying intensity. "You grew up," he visualizes, his voice dropping an octave. "And you got strong."Bringing Up the PromiseKiller stood in the background, crossing his arms, sensing the sudden shift in his captain’s demeanor."I kept my end of the deal," you said, your voice steady as you wiped a stray strand of hair from your face—a subconscious echo of the gesture from all those years ago. "I survived. But I don't recall the future Pirate King needing a crew to protect me anymore."Kid’s grin widened, a rare, genuine warmth breaking through his usual terrifying expression. He remembered the stolen bread. He remembered the vow made in the dirt."Who said anything about protecting you?" Kid stepped directly into your personal space, towering over you, the faint scent of ozone and gunpowder clinging to him. He reached out, his heavy hand resting on the back of your neck, pulling you just a fraction closer. "A captain needs a mate who can keep up with him. You just proved you can handle the seat right next to mine."He leaned down, his eyes locked onto yours, full of pride, possessiveness, and a decade's worth of unyielding determination. "The promise still stands. But first, let's go turn this sea upside down."
The Memory: Stolen Bread and a PromiseGrowing up in the lawless dumps of the South Blue, survival was the only thing that mattered. You and Kid were just feral, starving children dodging crooked guards and rival alley thugs.One freezing evening, the two of you managed to pull off a risky heist, slipping away with a single, thick loaf of stolen bread. Huddled together in an abandoned alleyway, shivering and covered in dirt, you split the prize down the middle.As you ate, you jokingly muttered that since you were already partners in crime sharing your spoils, you might as well just stay together forever.Kid, with his face smeared with soot and blood from a scrape, glared at you intensely. He didn't laugh. Instead, he snatched the remaining piece of your bread, took a massive bite, and shoved his hand out to grab yours."Fine," he barked, his voice cracking with childhood grit. "It's a promise. When we're older and I've taken over everything, you're marrying me. Don't you dare go dying before then."Shortly after, the chaos of the South Blue tore your paths apart. Decades passed, and the name "Eustass 'Captain' Kid" became feared across the grand line as a bloodthirsty supernova.The Reunion: A New Power DynamicThe reunion does not happen in a quiet tavern or a peaceful village; it happens in the middle of a brutal, three-way New World skirmish. Kid and his crew are holding their own, but they are pushed hard against an onslaught of enemies.Suddenly, the battlefield shifts. A massive wave of energy or a devastating physical strike cuts through the enemy ranks, completely clearing Kid’s flank.Kid wipes blood from his brow, turning his gaze toward the source of the destruction, expecting a rival Emperor or a Marine Admiral. Instead, he sees you.The Shock: His crimson eyes widen. His mechanical arm sparks violently as his focus slips. The loud, boisterous captain completely freezes.The Recognition: It takes him a fraction of a second to connect the powerful, confident warrior standing before him with the dirt-faced kid from the alleyway. The realization hits him like a cannonball.The Smirk: A massive, wicked grin spreads across his face. He doesn't show vulnerability or burst into tears; instead, a wild, proud laugh erupts from his chest."Well, damn," he roars over the sound of gunfire. "Look who actually managed to survive!"How He Reacts to Your StrengthKid is an ego-driven, fiercely competitive man who respects nothing but raw power. Seeing that you didn't just survive, but became a formidable force in the New World, drives him absolutely wild.Zero Condescension: He doesn't try to shield you or tell you to stay back. He treats you as an absolute equal on the battlefield.Boastful Pride: He acts incredibly smug to Killer and the rest of his crew, yelling, "See that?! That’s what a real fighter looks like! I picked 'em out myself!"Thrill of the Challenge: If you show off a massive feat of strength, he immediately tries to outdo you by crushing a larger group of enemies with his magnetic abilities. The battlefield turns into a chaotic, flirtatious competition of who can cause more destruction.Honoring the PromiseOnce the dust settles and the enemies are routed, the atmosphere shifts. Kid walks over to you, the heavy thud of his boots echoing. He towers over you now, scarred, imposing, and draped in his massive fur coat.He stops right in front of you, looking down with an uncharacteristically intense, quiet focus.The Claim: He doesn't ask if you remember the promise; he assumes you do. He reaches out with his flesh-and-blood hand, gripping your chin or your shoulder firmly. "You kept your end of the deal," he mutters, his voice dropping to a low, rough rumble. "You didn't die. And you got strong."The Proposal (Kid-Style): He doesn't get down on one knee. He yanks you by the waist into his side, throwing his massive arm around you. He looks at Killer and yells, "Turn the ship around! We’re finding the next island with a church, a bar, and a priest! We’ve got a wedding to throw!"The Ultimate Devotion: In the Victoria Punk’s galley later that night, he tosses a fresh, warm loaf of bread onto the table between you two. He tears it perfectly in half, handing you your piece. "I told you I'd take over everything," he says, looking at you with fierce, absolute loyalty. "Now half of it belongs to you. Let's go take the rest."
The Crew's Reaction: Confusion and ChaosKiller: As the calm, rational heartbeat of the crew, Killer is the first to piece it together. He remembers the kid from the old days. He lets out his distinct, muffled chuckle ("Fafafafa!") through his mask. Killer is relieved; he knows you are one of the very few people alive who can actually calm Kid down when he’s throwing a tantrum. He welcomes you instantly and warns you that Kid hasn't gotten any quieter over the years.Heat and Wire: They are completely stunned. They have only ever known Kid as a bloodthirsty, hot-tempered monster. Seeing a formidable, powerful warrior suddenly show up and make their terrifying captain look completely whipped—and watching Kid actually agree to it—leaves them speechless. They quickly learn to treat you with the exact same fear and respect they give Kid.The Rest of the Crew: The lower-ranking crew members are terrified but incredibly hyped. They see you hold your own in battle and realize the Kid Pirates just gained another absolute powerhouse. They immediately start preparing a massive, chaotic, booze-fueled pirate feast to celebrate the Captain finally getting his "Queen."
Killer would tease Kid about his promise to you and then make sure Kid honors it. Kid will always honor his promise to you.

The stalker trope in dark romance features an obsessive, morally gray hero who watches, protects, and manipulates the heroine. This subgenre thrives on intense power dynamics, forced proximity, and psychological obsession,Key Tropes and DynamicsTouch Her and DIE : The stalker usually operates as an extreme protector, harboring dangerous, lethal tendencies toward anyone who threatens or harms the object of their obsession.Morally Gray Anti-Heroes: The male protagonists are almost universally villains in the eyes of society, using illegal tactics (tracking, hacking, breaking into houses) to orchestrate situations where the heroine "needs" them.Enemies-to-Lovers: The relationship typically starts with deep mistrust and terror, eventually evolving into a twisted, consuming devotion. The stalker persona in dark romance features an intensely obsessive, morally grey main character who surveils, tracks, and fixates on the love interest. This fictional archetype blends extreme danger with total devotion, creating a high-stakes dynamic of power, control, and absolute fixation.Core Traits of the Stalker PersonaAll-Consuming Fixation: The character notices the lead from a single encounter and immediately decides they are "theirs," skipping normal pacing for instant, unyielding obsession.Surveillance and Control: They track movements through digital hacking, hidden cameras, or physical shadowing, convincing themselves they are the "protector".Morally Grey Morality: They operate outside the law and justify harmful or unethical actions as necessary measures to keep their target safe or close.Primal Devotion: Despite being unhinged, their entire world revolves around the target, offering a twisted form of absolute worship and prioritization.Common Dynamic ElementsCat-and-Mouse Chase: The target slowly discovers they are being watched, leading to a tense push-and-pull of fear and electric attraction.Sanctuary vs. Threat: The stalker is often the greatest danger to the protagonist, yet simultaneously shields them from all outside threats.
In a forced proximity dark romance, the character personalities clash intensely because physical confinement strips away escape. The dominant lead is typically obsessive, controlling, and protective, while the captive or trapped lead balances compliance with a fierce, surviving inner resistance, creating a high-tension psychological power struggle.The Dominant / Aggressive Character (The Captor, Bodyguard, or Antagonist)Possessive and Obsessive: Views the other character as their sole focus, tracking their movements, reactions, and micro-expressions constantly.Controlling and Rigid: Demands absolute order or compliance within their shared space; accustomed to power and terrified of losing control.Morally Gray or Lethal: Operates outside normal laws or social rules; unbothered by violence or manipulation to get what they want.** fiercely Protective:** Paradoxically dangerous to everyone else, treating the co-confined lead as an exclusive possession no one else can harm.The Resilient / Cornered Character (The Captive, Guest, or Grudging Ally)Adaptable Survivor: Quickly reads moods and shifts tactics to stay safe in close, volatile quarters.Defiant Underneath: May outwardly comply or look trapped, but maintains a sharp, unyielding internal rebellion.Observant and Analytical: Notices every detail of their environment and the dominant character's psychological triggers.Vulnerable yet Stubborn: Refuses to completely break, slowly chipping away at the captor’s rigid boundaries through sheer persistence.The Combined DynamicThe Pressure Cooker: Closeness turns every minor disagreement into a high-stakes emotional confrontation.Blurred Lines: Trust and fear twist together until hostility morphs into an intense, co-dependent fixation.
The "air jail" meme and a dark romance kissing scene highlight a deeply possessive, morally gray alpha anti-hero personality. This archetype features intense control, obsessive devotion, and extreme jealousy blended with high-tension passion.Traits of the Dark Romance "Air Jail" PersonalityTotal Obsession: The male main character (MMC) tracks every move, viewing the heroine as entirely his.Unreasonable Jealousy: Normal interactions with others trigger immediate wrath or a playful-yet-threatening "air jail" timeout.Morally Gray Control: He makes the rules, crosses boundaries, and justifies it through absolute protection.The Switch to Devotion: Cold and ruthless to the world, but fiercely soft, demanding, and fixated on the female lead.
In dark romance, a jealous kissing scene is rarely just a simple expression of affection. It functions as a primal, high-stakes claim where a morally grey character, often panicked by the threat of losing their fixation, crosses the line from brooding control into raw, consuming possession.The Psychology of the Dark Romance Jealous PersonaThe "Territorial vs. Jealous" Distinction: The male lead (MMC) often compartmentalizes his psyche, viewing basic jealousy as weakness while defining his actions as absolute, unyielding territorial protection.Denial and Snap Reactions: He frequently spends chapters denying his growing obsession. When he finally sees another person touch, look at, or kiss the heroine (FMC), his stoic mask cracks.The Claiming Kiss: The resulting kiss is rarely gentle. It acts as a physical stamp of ownership—punitive, desperate, and meant to erase the memory or mark of anyone else.Key Traits of the Jealous ArchetypeHyper-Vigilance: He tracks every glance, word, and touch directed at the heroine, internalizing outside attention as a direct threat to his authority.Loss of Control: The core tension stems from a character who prides himself on total emotional detachment suddenly unravelling over one person.Morally Gray Justification: Rather than apologizing for his toxic reactions, his internal monologue rationalizes his dominance as the only way to keep her safe.
The extreme protection personality in dark romance blends lethal intensity with absolute, unyielding devotion. Often a morally gray anti-hero, mafia boss, or stalker, this character views the protagonist as their sole possession and purpose, willing to burn the world down or destroy anyone who poses a threat.Core TraitsLethal Devotion: Treats violence as a legitimate tool to eliminate any perceived threat to the partner.Hyper-Fixation: Exhibits extreme jealousy, obsession, and stalking tendencies, tracking every detail of the partner's life.Control Disguised as Safety: Blurs the line between keeping someone safe and total isolation, often restricting freedom to maintain control.Unapologetic Morality: Operates outside the law or social norms without remorse, acting as a villain to everyone else and a protector only to them.Common TropesTouch-Her-And-Die: An aggressive zero-tolerance stance where minor slights or outside attention toward the partner are met with severe retribution.The Reluctant Guardian: A character who fights their own desire to stay away, only to snap into absolute protectiveness the moment danger arrives.Captive/Bodyguard Dynamic: Proximity enforced by duty or abduction that twists professional distance into dangerous obsession.
In dark romance, the kidnapping or "captor-captive" trope features distinct, exaggerated character personalities built around extreme power dynamics, obsession, and emotional intensity. These personas flip normal relationship rules to explore forbidden attraction and survival.The Captor (The Hero / Anti-Hero)Morally Grey or Villain: He operates outside the law, often belonging to the mafia, a supernatural pack, or a criminal underworld.Hyper-Obsessive: He fixes on the heroine with single-minded focus, viewing her as his by right or fate.Deeply Controlling: He demands absolute compliance, micromanaging his captive's space, choices, and safety.Viciously Protective: While he inflicts the initial trauma of abduction, he reacts with lethal fury if any outside threat harms or looks at her wrong.Internal Code: He justifies his monstrous actions through a twisted personal sense of honor, duty, or absolute necessity.The Captive (The Heroine)Resourceful and Resilient: She adapts quickly to her terrifying environment, looking for any tactical weakness or escape route.Defiant: She refuses to submit easily, matching his coldness with verbal or silent resistance.Prally Conflicted: She experiences a visceral tug-of-war between her survival instincts/fear and a growing, unwanted physical attraction.Emotionally Enduring: She often possesses hidden inner strength, sometimes unearthing a dark streak of her own to match or break her captor.
In dark romance fiction, a gaslighting character profile features an intensely charismatic, calculating, and emotionally dominant partner. This persona uses covert psychological control rather than physical force, slowly twisting facts, rewriting reality, and weaponizing tenderness to make the protagonist completely dependent on their version of the truth.Core Traits of the Gaslighting PersonaCalm Demeanor: Never raises their voice or loses control, masking severe manipulation behind a facade of extreme patience, logic, and gentle care.Calculated Deception: Denies events, alters small details of the environment, or outright lies while insisting the partner's memory or sanity is failing.Coercive Tenderness: Blends intense affection, protection, and love-bombing with subtle degradation, keeping the partner off-balance and emotionally bonded.Isolation Tactics: Subtly undermines the protagonist’s trust in friends, family, or outside support systems to position themselves as the sole anchor to reality.Manufactured Dependency: Feeds into the partner's existing insecurities, anxieties, or vulnerabilities so the protagonist yields all decision-making power to the manipulator.Context in Fiction vs. RealityIn Dark Romance Books: Readers on Reddit generally reach a consensus that intense psychological manipulation and toxic power plays are staples of the genre, used to create high-tension, morally gray character dynamics.In Real Life: Psychologists link gaslighting and Dark Tetrad personality traits (such as Machiavellianism and psychopathy) to emotional abuse and coercive control, which destabilize a person's mental health rather than serving as a safe romantic dynamic.
A high-IQ gaslighting personality in dark romance blends strategic brilliance with the Dark Triad traits of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Instead of crude outbursts, this fictional archetype uses intellectual dominance, emotional coldness, and calculated distortion of reality to slowly trap their partner.Core Traits of the High-IQ Dark Romance ArchetypeCalculated Precision: They do not lose their temper; they analyze weaknesses, insecurities, and past trauma to use as quiet leverage.Inverted Reality (Gaslighting): They rewrite facts with absolute calm, making the partner feel like their own memory or sanity is failing.Charming Facade: They project elite social grace, high competence, and intense magnetism, making outsiders trust them over the victim.Strategic Vulnerability: They fake small flaws or calculated confessions to build false trust before tightening emotional control.The DARVO Method: When caught, they instantly Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender to flip the narrative.Key Behavioral TacticsRewriting History: Calmly insisting conversations or events happened entirely differently until the partner gives up their own perspective.Isolation by Logic: Conspicuously proving to the partner that friends or family are toxic or unintelligent, leaving the protagonist dependent on the villain's intellect.Conditional Approval: Shifting the rules of what keeps them pleased so the partner constantly works to earn validation that never lasts.Weaponized Insight: Using deep psychological observations not to heal, but to dissect and destabilize the partner's confidence during quiet conversations.
A high-IQ dark romance personality blends cold, calculating intellect with intense obsession, moral ambiguity, and strategic manipulation. Instead of acting on raw, chaotic impulse, this archetype treats love and power as a high-stakes chess match, utilizing psychological control, sharp wit, and emotional detachment to dominate or outmaneuver their partner.Core TraitsCalculated Control: Relies on planning, foresight, and tactical dominance rather than loud outbursts or physical intimidation.Hyper-Perceptive: Instantly notices micro-expressions, flaws, lies, and behavioral patterns, making them feel chillingly "seen through".Emotional Detachment: Keeps a thick internal barrier, viewing vulnerability as a weakness while weaponizing charm or aloofness.Moral Flexibility: Justifies extreme, unethical, or obsessive actions through twisted logic where the end always justifies the means.Intellectual Seduction: Prefers psychological chess, layered banter, and mental sparring over traditional romance.Relationship DynamicsThe Power Struggle: Romance functions as an ongoing negotiation of dominance where both minds test each other's boundaries.Obsessive Focus: Their high intelligence channels into a laser-focused, possessive fixation on a single person, treating them as a puzzle to solve or a territory to claim.Conditional Trust: Trust is never given freely; it is earned through tests, proofs, and a matching capacity for survival or cunning.
In dark romance, a character's "charm" is a dangerous tool. It relies on a magnetic, razor-sharp charisma that masks a morally gray, possessive, or deeply calculating personality. This toxic allure draws the protagonist—and the reader—into a web of intense psychological power dynamics.Core Traits of the Dark Romance CharmerCalculated Charisma: They use sharp wit, intense eye contact, and disarming politeness to hide aggressive control or obsessive tendencies.Morally Gray Edge: They reject traditional heroism, operating by their own ruthless rules while remaining fiercely protective of their specific object of desire.Intense Focus: Their charm turns suffocatingly intimate; they make the heroine feel like the only person in a room, while simultaneously trapping them in a web of power.Dual Nature: They can shift seamlessly from cold, lethal danger to a strange, devastating gentleness reserved solely for one person.The Psychological AppealThe Illusion of Agency: These characters often manipulate situations so the protagonist feels safe or in control, even as they are completely cornered.Unflinching Devotion: Beneath the menace lies a terrifying, unconditional loyalty—the fant

[Setting: A chaotic, salt stained dock in a New World port; Late Afternoon]
The wooden planks of the pier creaked ominously under the weight of the small transport vessel as it pulled alongside the dock. The air here was thick heavy with the metallic tang of gunpowder, the briny sting of the ocean, and the overwhelming stench of cheap rum and unwashed bodies that defined a lawless pirate port. As you took that first uncertain step off the boat and onto the sun warmed wood, the world seemed to tilt slightly, your boots finding purchase on the splintered surface.
A few yards away, leaning against a massive stack of iron crates that looked like they had been salvaged from a shipwreck, stood a figure that could only be described as a force of nature. Eustass Kid was impossible to miss. His crimson hair burned like a live coal against the fading sunlight, and his massive frame easily six foot nine cast a shadow that seemed to stretch across half the dock. His mechanical arm whirred with a low, threatening hum as he shifted his weight, the metal plates catching the amber light of the setting sun.
Kid's amber eyes were narrowed, fixed on the approaching figure with a habitual scowl that suggested he was moments away from breaking something. But as you drew closer, the scowl didn't just fade it shattered.
Bloody hell, Kid thought, his heart hammering a frantic, uneven rhythm against his ribs. Is that... no. Cannae be. I saw 'em disappear into the smoke of the South Blue. I thought they were gone for good. A strange, fierce heat flared in his chest, one that had nothing to do with his Devil Fruit powers and everything to do with the ghost standing before him. He felt a desperate, possessive urge to reach out and make sure you weren't some mirage born of too much grog.
"Oi," Kid's voice rumbled out, rough and gravelly, carrying that unmistakable Scottish lilt. "Who's this then? Some lost wee bird wanderin' into the wrong port?" His words were harsh, but his breathing had gone shallow. His gaze raked over you, taking in your stance, the way you carried yourself not like a victim, but like someone who had clawed their way through hell and come out the other side.
Beside him, Killer shifted. The light glinted off the circular vents of his blue and white helmet as he crossed his massive, muscular arms over his chest. "Fafafafa!" The laughter was muffled by his mask, but the amusement was unmistakable. "Look at yer face, Captain. Ye look like ye've seen a ghost."
Kid growled, a low sound in his throat. "Shut yer trap, Killer."
Heat was standing a few paces behind them, his arms crossed, his eyes sharp and suspicious. "Master Kid, we should be movin'. We don't need any trouble from random passengers," he muttered, his voice carrying that same hardened Scottish edge. Wire was there too, leaning against a post with his usual mopey, droopy eyed expression, though his hand rested meaningfully on the hilt of his weapon, his quiet attention fixed on you.
Kid didn't hear them. He couldn't hear anything over the blood rushing in his ears. He took a step forward, his heavy boots thudding against the dock like the heartbeat of a giant. The sheer scale of him became overwhelming as he closed the distance he loomed over you, a mountain of scarred flesh, fur coat, and intimidating metal. The faint scent of burnt metal and something warm, something uniquely him, drifted toward you.
"Well?" Kid demanded, stepping directly into your personal space until you had to crane your neck just to meet his gaze. His massive hand, the flesh one, twitched at his side, clearly aching to reach out and grab you. "Well, don't just stand there gawkin' like a fish. Who are yer, and why d'ye look at me like I'm some kinda miracle?"
"Wow, forget your own fiancé's face that fast or did I change that much? Now shut the hell up and come here!" You growl in a scoff. "I did not track you all the way from the South Blue to leave empty handed."
The world seemed to stop spinning for a heartbeat. The word ‘fiancé’ ripped through the air like a cannon shot, echoing across the creaking wooden planks of the dock. Kid froze mid step, his mouth hanging open slightly. The aggressive, intimidating posture he had maintained just moments before wavered. Slowly, almost impossibly, a flush began to creep up his neck a deep, burning crimson that quickly spread across his scarred cheeks and up to his ears, matching the fiery shade of his spiked hair.
Fiancé? Kid’s mind raced, scrambling to drag up memories he had buried under layers of blood and ambition. He saw it a flash of a dirty alleyway, the taste of stolen bread, and the stubborn, defiant look in your eyes as a child. Shite. They actually remembered. They actually came for me. A surge of something far more dangerous than anger raw, unbridled possessiveness crashed through him. He was terrified for a split second that this was a joke, but the growl in your voice, that familiar fire in your tone, was real. It was you.
"Wh what's that supposed to mean?!" Kid barked, though his voice cracked slightly, betraying his composure. He tried to pull his massive fur coat higher around his shoulders, attempting to hide the obvious blush spreading across his face. "Fiancé? I said that when I was a wee bairn! I didn't think... I didn't expect you to actually track me down in this gods forsaken sea!" Despite his bluster, he didn't back away. If anything, your command to 'shut the hell up' seemed to thrill him, his amber eyes darkening with intensity.
"Fafafafa!" Killer's laughter erupted fully now, his shoulders shaking beneath his blue t shirt. He leaned back against the crates, the vents of his helmet seeming to practically smile. "Did ye hear that, Captain? Ordered around like a common cabin boy. And here I thought ye were the big, scary pirate king in the makin'." Killer's voice was smooth, carrying that Scottish lilt, his amusement evident as he watched Kid squirm. "Seems yer old promise came back to haunt ye."
Heat's jaw dropped, his eyes darting between you and Kid. "Fiancé?" he whispered, his voice carrying a mix of horror and confusion. "Master Kid... you never said you had a... a person waiting." He looked at you with newfound wariness, wondering how someone so small could have the nerve to speak to his captain in such a manner.
Wire didn't speak, but his droopy eyes widened fractionally. He shifted his weight, one hand still on his trident, observing the scene with his usual stoic expression, though there was a faint glint of something perhaps respect as he watched you stand your ground against the mountain of a man before you.
Kid growled at Killer, a warning sound, but his attention immediately snapped back to you. The shock was being rapidly replaced by a feral sort of pride. He didn't like being ordered around by anyone in the world, but from you? It felt like a challenge. It felt like home.
"You've got some nerve, comin' here and barkin' orders at me," Kid rumbled, his voice dropping an octave. The scale difference became stark as he closed the remaining distance between you. He didn't just step closer; he invaded your space entirely, his massive frame casting you in complete shadow.
"Come here, eh?" He repeated your words in a rough whisper. His flesh hand moved faster than a striking viper, his massive fingers wrapping firmly around your waist. The contrast was immediate his single hand could nearly span half your torso, his grip warm and possessive as he yanked you forward with a sudden, sharp tug. The force of it pressed your smaller frame directly against his hard chest, the rough fabric of his coat and the solid muscle beneath enveloping you completely.
"You think you can just walk off a boat and claim me?" Kid looked down at you, his amber eyes blazing with heat as he loomed over you, his breath warm against your forehead. "Fine then. But I'm no' lettin' you go again. Not for nothin'."

[Setting: Onboard the Victoria Punk; Afternoon]
The deck of the Victoria Punk was alive with the usual controlled chaos of the Kid Pirates the metallic clanging of weapons being maintained, the rough shouts of crewmates, and the constant, low hum of the ship's powerful engines. Eustass Kid was standing near the main railing, his massive frame casting a long shadow across the wood. He was mid rant, his Scottish accent thick and gravelly as he argued with Killer about the next heading, his mechanical arm sparking intermittently with residual magnetic energy.
"I'm tellin' ya, Killer, we take the northern route through the storm clouds! The loot in those waters is worth the risk, aye?" Kid growled, slamming his flesh hand down onto the railing.
Suddenly, the peaceful if violent routine was shattered. A blur of movement came flying over the side of the ship, scales of motion defying the distance between the shore and the moving vessel.
THUD.
The impact was sudden and jarring. Kid didn't even have time to summon his magnetism before something solid and warm collided directly into his broad, barrel chested torso. Because of the sheer size difference, the impact felt like a cannonball hitting a wall, but instead of steel, it was flesh and bone. His breath hitched as the force knocked him back half a step, his heavy boots scraping against the deck to maintain his balance.
"Oi! What the bloody hell !?" Kid roared, his amber eyes flashing with immediate, murderous intent. His mechanical arm whirred dangerously, the metal fingers twitching as he instinctively prepared to crush whatever had dared to ambush him. His first instinct was to shove the intruder off, to throw them back into the sea where they belonged.
But as his large, scarred hands came up to grab the intruder intending to push them away his fingers instead found the familiar shape of someone small, desperate, and breathing hard against his chest. His massive palms instinctively wrapped around your waist to steady both of you, his grip firm and possessive even in his confusion. His heart hammered against his ribs like a trapped animal.
He froze. The metallic scent of his own arm mingled with the salt air and something else something that smelled like home, like the dusty streets of the South Blue. He looked down, his crimson eyes widening until they nearly spilled from his skull. His throat went dry. The fierce, terrifying captain of the Kid Pirates suddenly looked like he'd been struck by lightning.
"You..." he breathed, the word barely audible beneath the wind. "No... it can't be."
Behind him, Killer straightened up, his striped pants swaying as he stepped closer. The blue and white helmet tilted as he observed the collision. A moment of silence passed before the familiar, muffled sound of his laughter broke through the air.
"Fafafafafa!" Killer's laugh was melodic despite the mask, carrying that unmistakable tone of amusement. "Well now, Captain. Seems you've got a stowaway. Or perhaps... something you've been waiting for all these years?" His voice was calm, but there was a sharp edge of recognition in it. He recognized you instantly, the memory of the South Blue streets fresh in his mind. "You should have warned us {{user}} was coming, Captain. You're looking a bit... flustered."
"Shut yer trap, Killer!" Kid snapped back, but there was no real venom in it. His face was rapidly transforming, a deep, furious crimson spreading from his neck up to the tips of his spiky red hair. He didn't let go of your waist; if anything, his grip tightened slightly, his thumb brushing against the fabric of your shirt as he stared down at you, utterly speechless.
Heat and Wire had both drawn closer, their expressions a mix of confusion and readiness. Heat's eyes flickered with flames, his jaw set in a hardened line, while Wire gripped his trident, his droopy eyes scanning the water to see if more attackers were coming.
"Boss?" Heat muttered, his Scottish accent rough with suspicion. "Who is this? Should I toss 'em?"
"Don't you dare touch 'em, Heat!" Kid barked, his voice cracking slightly. He looked back down at you, his expression caught between terrifying rage and an overwhelming, vulnerable shock. "What the hell are you doin' here? Do you have any idea how dangerous these waters are, ya daft " He stopped abruptly, his eyes scanning your face, searching for the child he remembered in the warrior standing before him. "You... you actually came back."
You pant from the run and hit him in the chest. "ASSHOLE. OF COURSE I CAME BACK! YOU'RE MY FIANCE NOW STOP FUCKING SAILING OFF WITHOUT ME!!"
Kid’s entire body went rigid at the impact of your fists against his chest. To him, it felt like being struck by a pair of small birds, but the venom in your voice hit him harder than any Haki infused punch ever could. The word 'fiancé' echoed across the deck, cutting through the ambient noise of the crew like a blade. The crew of the Victoria Punk went deathly silent. Every pirate on deck stopped what they were doing, their jaws dropping as they stared at their captain.
Kid's face didn't just turn red; it became a shade of crimson that rivaled his own hair. His amber eyes bulged as he stared down at you, his mouth hanging open for a heartbeat before he managed to find his voice. The sheer audacity of you screaming at him of you calling him an asshole in front of his entire crew should have sent him into a murderous rage. But instead, something else happened.
You're here, his mind roared. That stubborn, radiant brat actually tracked me down.
"Fiancé?! Who the hell said the word fiancé?!" he bellowed, though the effect was somewhat ruined by the way his voice cracked at the end. His large hands tightened around your waist, his fingers splaying across your back. Because of his massive size, his hands nearly met at your spine, effectively anchoring you against him. The force of your shouting had caused his open shirt to gape further, revealing the broad expanse of his scarred chest and the thick, coarse line of red hair a happy trail that matched his spiky mane trailing down from his sternum toward the waistband of his trousers.
"I never said I was I mean, I said it when we were kids! That doesn't mean !" He cut himself off, his teeth clicking together as he glared down at you. He wanted to shove you away and yell at you for the disrespect, but his body refused to cooperate. His heart was hammering so loudly he was sure you could feel it through his ribs. "And don't you dare curse at yer captain, ya daft lass!"
From directly behind him, Killer let out a sound that could only be described as a wheeze. The masked pirate was doubled over, his hands on his knees as he succumbed to another fit of laughter.
"Fafafafafa! Oh, this is priceless!" Killer managed to choke out between laughs, his Scottish lilt thick with amusement. "Captain, I didn't realize you'd been neglecting your marital duties. No wonder you've been so cranky lately." He straightened up slightly, tilting his helmet toward you with what could only be sensed as a warm, welcoming grin beneath the metal. "Welcome aboard. Though I'd suggest being careful Kid's been practicing his 'big bad pirate' act, but it seems you've broken it in under thirty seconds."
"Shut it, Killer! I'll magnetize yer helmet to the hull!" Kid roared over his shoulder, but he still hadn't let go of you. If anything, he pulled you closer, his massive frame enveloping yours as he tried to regain some semblance of control over the situation.
Heat and Wire were standing frozen, their weapons still half raised. Heat blinked rapidly, looking from Kid’s flustered face to your furious one. "Wait... fiancé?" Heat muttered, his accent rough and confused. "Boss has been keeping a wife in the South Blue this whole time? Is that why he never lets us go back there?"
Wire simply stared, his droopy eyes widening in genuine shock. He didn't say anything, but he slowly lowered his trident, clearly recognizing the fire in your eyes a fire that matched Kid’s own.
Kid ignored them, his focus snapping back to you. His expression was a volatile mix of indignation and raw, unfiltered possessiveness. "Sailing off without you?" he growled, his voice dropping into that low, rough rumble that vibrated in his chest against your hands. "I'm the captain of this ship! I go where I bloody well please!" But even as he barked the words, his grip on your waist softened just enough to be careful, his massive palms warm against you.

[Setting: Port Brass Market; Time: 2:14 PM]
The afternoon sun beats down mercilessly on the cobblestone streets of Port Brass, thick with the scents of salted fish, rotting kelp, and cheap gunpowder. The market is a chaotic swarm of merchants and cutthroats, but you move through it with purpose. In your grip, the edges of a bounty poster are already beginning to curl and soften from the sweat of your palms. The image on the parchment shows a man who looks nothing like the boy from the South Blue this is a monster. The spiky crimson hair is the same, but the face is hardened by years of violence, marked by scars and a feral intensity that makes lesser men look away.
"Have you seen him?" you ask a merchant whose stall is loaded with rusted ship parts. You hold up the poster, the massive bounty written across the bottom. The merchant's eyes dart to the poster and then flick nervously toward the main thoroughfare, where the sounds of shattering glass and panicked screaming are beginning to echo. "Aye, he's here, lass/lad. But if you've got any sense, you'll run the other direction. The Red Haired Menace just touched down and he's already pissed off half the town."
You don't run. Instead, you follow the noise.
A few blocks away, the chaos intensifies. You round a corner to see a small crowd scattering in terror. In the center of the street, a massive figure towers over everyone. Eustass Kid is standing there, his enormous fur coat draped over his shoulders like a royal mantle. He's currently holding a merchant by the collar of his shirt, lifting the man clean off the ground with one hand. His other arm a grotesque, gleaming contraption of salvaged metal and gears hisses with magnetic energy, small pieces of scrap metal orbiting his forearm like tiny moons.
"I asked you where the damn weaponsmith was, ya pathetic piece o' shite!" Kid roars, his voice a gravelly, Scottish lilted boom that vibrates in your chest. "I dinnae ask twice!"
"Captain, let the man go. We've already found the shop's location through the other merchant," Killer says, his voice muffled but calm behind the blue and white grid of his helmet. He stands a few paces back, arms crossed over his broad chest. "Fafafafa... you're going to scare away all the customers before we even get there."
"I don't give a damn about customers!" Kid snarls, dropping the merchant like a sack of flour. "I want the best steel on this island, and I want it now."
Heat and Wire stand flanking them, both looking bored. Heat picks at a fingernail, a small wisp of smoke curling from his nostrils. "Aye, he's in a right mood today," Heat mutters with a thick accent. Wire simply nods, his droopy eyes scanning the crowd for any threats, his trident resting against his shoulder.
Kid is about to bark another order when he feels it a familiar presence, a Haki signature that he hasn't felt in years but would recognize anywhere. He freezes mid sentence, his massive frame tensing. He turns his head slowly, those sharp amber eyes scanning the crowd until they lock directly onto you.
Kid's expression shifts. The rage evaporates, replaced by a look of genuine, unguarded shock. He stares at you, his mouth hanging open slightly. His gaze drops to the bounty poster still clutched in your hand, then back up to your face.
No way, Kid thinks, his heart hammering against his ribs. After all this time? That little brat actually found me? And look at 'em... they're not the scrawny thing I remember.
"Fafafafa," Killer's laughter rings out, having noticed the change in his captain immediately. Killer shifts his stance, recognizing you instantly. "Well, look at this. It seems we've got company from home."
Kid doesn't move for a long moment. He's a giant of a man six foot nine, all muscle and scars and as he sizes you up, his throat works as he swallows hard. "You've got to be shitting me," he finally mutters, his voice dropping from a roar to a rough, uncertain rumble.
"Fuck you too." You growl in a snarl as you march towards him and punch him square in the jaw. "That is for sailing away without me."
Kid doesn’t even have time to process the words before the first blow connects. The crack of your fist against his jaw echoes through the suddenly silent street. His head snaps to the side with the force of the impact. He doesn't fall he's far too solid for that but the sheer audacity of the move leaves him momentarily stunned, his amber eyes wide and blinking.
"What the !?" he starts to bark, but the second punch cuts him off, landing square and hard. Your fingers dig into the thick, expensive fur of his coat, bunching the fabric as you yank his massive frame down toward you. The third punch lands with a satisfying thud, a release of years of abandonment and frustration.
"That one is promising to marry me and not doing it!" You punch him once more. "That is for making me track you down!!"
Kid’s massive hands instinctively come up to grab your wrists, not to push you away, but because he’s genuinely bewildered. "You absolute mad !"
The insult dies in his throat as you surge upward and collide your lips against his.
The world seems to stop. Kid freezes completely, his entire body going rigid. The kiss is fierce and demanding, a battle in its own right. Because of the staggering height difference, you're stretched thin to reach him, while he towers over you, his massive frame casting a shadow that completely envelops you. For a heartbeat, he doesn't know what to do; his mind is a whirlwind of childhood memories, stolen bread, and the raw, unfiltered fire you're pressing against him.
Then, the shock breaks. A low, rumbling sound escapes his chest not a growl, but something more primal, more possessive. His mechanical arm whirs softly, magnetic energy crackling harmlessly as his flesh and blood hand slides from your wrist to your waist. His palm is enormous, easily spanning nearly half your torso, fingers splayed across your back as he yanks you flush against him. The contrast in scale is jarring; you feel tiny against the wall of muscle that is his chest, the rough texture of his fur coat scratching against your skin.
Kid kisses you back with the same aggressive intensity you gave him, his lips rough and hungry. He tastes of salt and gunpowder, his grip tightening as if he’s afraid you might vanish again if he lets go for even a second.
Shit, Kid thinks, his mind racing even as he deepens the kiss. They're still just as feral as they were in the South Blue. I can't believe they actually tracked me down. Look at 'em... taking a swing at me in front of my own crew. Gods, I missed this.
From a few feet away, Killer's distinctive laughter erupts a loud, muffled "Fafafafafa!" that draws the attention of every terrified civilian left in the street. He has his hands on his hips, shaking with amusement behind his helmet. "Well, Captain," Killer calls out, his tone dripping with sarcasm, "I'd say they've still got a mean right hook. Looks like someone's been holding a grudge."
Heat gapes, his jaw nearly hitting the cobblestones. A small flame licks out from between his teeth in surprise. "Is he... is the Captain actually gettin' manhandled?" he asks in his thick accent, sounding both horrified and impressed. "I've never seen anyone punch him three times and live."
Wire doesn't say anything, but his droopy eyes narrow slightly as he watches the scene unfold. He simply shifts his trident, a small, knowing smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. He remembers the promise too.
Kid finally breaks the kiss, though he doesn't let you go. He keeps you pinned against his chest, his breathing heavy and ragged. His face is a shade of crimson that nearly matches his spiky hair, his cheeks burning. He glares down at you, but there's no real anger in those amber eyes only an overwhelming, fierce possessiveness.
"You always did have a big mouth and a worse temper," he growls, his voice dropping to a rough, Scottish rumble that vibrates through your entire body. "Took you long enough to find me, ya stubborn brat."

[Setting: A debris strewn port town square in the New World; Afternoon]
The air was thick with the acrid stench of gunpowder and the metallic tang of blood. Around the square, the sounds of a recent skirmish still echoed the groaning of fallen bounty hunters and the distant clatter of collapsing buildings. Eustass Kid stood in the center of the carnage, his massive frame casting a long, intimidating shadow across the cracked cobblestones. His mechanical arm whirred with residual magnetic energy, sparks dancing along the jagged metal plates, while his flesh hand wiped a smear of crimson from his cheekbone. He looked every bit the terrifying Supernova, a predator who had just finished a meal.
Then, your voice tore through the ringing silence.
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU LEFT ME!"
Kid froze mid motion. The tip of his prosthetic finger, hovering over a discarded sword, twitched violently. For a heartbeat, the only sound was the distant lapping of waves against the docks. His amber eyes, usually burning with a reckless, violent hunger, widened until they nearly lost their shape. His entire body locked up, his shoulders tensing beneath his heavy fur coat.
Slowly painfully slowly he turned his head toward you. His gaze locked onto your face, and suddenly, the fearsome Captain Kid vanished. In his place was the boy from the South Blue slums, caught red handed in a lie he had made a decade ago. His heart hammered against his ribs like a trapped animal, the memory of a cold alleyway and the taste of stale, stolen bread flooding his mind with overwhelming force. He remembered your face not as it was now, powerful and fierce, but as the dirty, starving child who had held his gaze while he made a promise he never intended to break until he realized he had no choice but to keep it.
"What the ?!" Kid started to roar, his instinct to lash out at any threat taking over, but the words died in his throat as he truly saw you. A deep, furious crimson flush began to crawl up his neck, spreading rapidly across his scarred cheeks until it matched the fiery red of his hair. He looked mortified. "Yer yer supposed to be " He cut himself off, fumbling with the fur collar of his coat to try and hide his face, though it did nothing to conceal the way his hands were shaking. "Who said I left?! I was busy buildin' an empire, ya daft !"
"Fafafafa!"
The unmistakable, muffled laughter of Killer cut through Kid's flustered bluster. Killer stood a few paces behind his captain, his blue and white helmet glinting in the afternoon sun. His broad shoulders shook with amusement as he crossed his arms over his muscular chest. Through the vents of his mask, his voice carried a teasing edge. "Well now, Captain. Seems someone's been keepin' score of your absences." He tilted his head, his gaze shifting between you and the visibly panicking Kid. "And here I thought you'd forgotten that little vow you made in the dirt."
"Shut yer trap, Killer!" Kid snarled, though there was no real venom in it only pure, unadulterated embarrassment. He turned back to you, his boots scraping against the stone as he took a stumbling step forward, towering over you with his 205 cm frame. Up close, the sheer scale of him was overwhelming; he seemed to block out the sun itself. His eyes darted around nervously, checking to see if any of his crew were watching too closely, before settling back on you with an intensity that wavered between anger and desperate recognition. "I didn't leave! I just... I had things to do!"
Behind them, Heat and Wire exchanged glances. Heat's usual hardened expression faltered, a flicker of recognition crossing his face as he remembered the kid who used to run through the slums with the Captain. "Is that...?" Heat muttered, his voice low, his hands twitching near his weapons. "No way. Not after all this time."
Wire simply remained stoic, his droopy eyes fixed on you with a quiet, unreadable curiosity, though he didn't move to intervene. He knew better than anyone that when Kid got like this flustered and defensive it was best to give them space, even if that space was currently being filled by your righteous fury.
Kid took another step closer, his massive shadow enveloping you completely. His mechanical arm gave a sharp, agitated hiss of steam. "Don't you go yellin' at me in the middle of a street like some common street rat," he growled, though his voice lacked its usual intimidating gravel, sounding more like a defensive teenager than a pirate lord. "Yer makin' a scene."
The world seemed to tilt on its axis. One moment, Kid was looming over you, a red headed titan of bluster and bravado, and the next, you were a blur of motion and raw fury. When you collided with his chest, it wasn't like hitting a man; it was like charging into a wall of solid muscle and reinforced steel. The sheer momentum of your tackle caught him completely off guard a rare feat for anyone alive and the massive Captain of the Kid Pirates let out a startled, undignified grunt as his boots skidded across the cobblestones.
With a thunderous crash that echoed off the surrounding buildings, Kid went down. His massive frame hit the ground hard enough to send a tremor through the pavement, his mechanical arm clanging against the stones with a discordant screech of metal on stone.
"Oi! What the bloody hell ! Get off me, ya madwoman/man!" Kid roared, though his voice cracked midway through, betraying his genuine shock. He lay there pinned beneath you, his chest heaving as he struggled to process what had just happened. His heart was hammering against his ribs like a sledgehammer, not from the impact, but from the sudden, overwhelming proximity.
His inner thoughts were a chaotic storm: What are they doing? Why are they looking at me like that? That smirk that damn smirk is exactly like when we were kids stealing from the bakeries. My heart's gonna burst out of my chest right here in the middle of the street.
"Fafafafa!" Killer's laughter was louder now, bordering on hysterical. He leaned forward, one hand resting on his hip, his helmet tilting as he watched his terrifying captain being pinned to the dirt by someone half his size. "Well, Captain, looks like you finally met someone who doesn't give a damn about your reputation. How does it feel to be on the bottom?"
"Shut it, Killer! I'll kill you when I get up!" Kid snarled back, but his attempt at intimidation was ruined by the fact that his face was now a shade of crimson that rivaled his hair. His massive hands reached up instinctively to push you off, but his fingers hesitated. His right hand the flesh one was enormous compared to yours; even in his flustered state, his palm felt like it could easily cup your entire face, and the thought made his stomach flip in a way no battle ever had.
Heat stood frozen, his jaw practically dropping. "He... he actually got tackled," he whispered to Wire, his eyes wide. "I've seen him take cannonballs to the chest without blinking, and they just... they just took him down."
Wire didn't respond, but his usual droopy expression had sharpened into something resembling genuine awe. He watched the way Kid's fingers twitched against your clothes, noting that despite the shouting, the Captain wasn't actually using his Devil Fruit powers to throw you off. He was just... stunned.
Kid finally managed to find his voice again, though it came out as a rough, defensive rumble. "Yer crazy, y'know that?" He glared up at you from the ground, his amber eyes blazing with a mix of irritation and something far more vulnerable. His breath was hot against your skin as he spoke. "You think this is funny? Tackling a pirate captain in broad daylight? Yer lucky I don't " He stopped abruptly, his gaze dropping to your smirk, his anger faltering under the sheer intensity of your presence. "Yer lucky I don't throw you over my shoulder and drag you to the ship right now."

[Setting: New World Port Town Main Thoroughfare; Midday]
The sun beat down mercilessly on the cobblestone streets of the port town, the air thick with the briny scent of rotting fish and the sweat of a thousand desperate merchants. Civilians scurried about like ants, their voices a constant, irritating hum that grated on the nerves of the pirates who had recently docked their ship. The town was a maze of colorful buildings and narrow alleys, but the main thoroughfare was a chaotic river of people.
A few blocks away, the crowd suddenly split. People weren't just moving; they were being hurled aside. The sound of bodies hitting the stone with wet thuds echoed through the street. The terrified whimpers of merchants and the clatter of overturned fruit carts filled the air as a lone figure carved a path of destruction through the civilians.
"FUCKING MOVE RATS!" The voice carried sharp, raw, and utterly unrepentant.
Kid stopped dead in his tracks, his massive boots scraping against the ground. His crimson fur coat billowed slightly in the breeze, the weight of his mechanical arm making a faint, hydraulic whirring sound as he shifted his weight. He tilted his head, his amber eyes narrowing. That voice... it wasn't just loud; it had a specific, familiar cadence. A particular kind of South Blue rage that he hadn't heard in years.
No way, Kid thought, his pulse quickening. That mouth... that's the same damn attitude. A feral grin began to tug at the corner of his lips. He felt a surge of something hot and possessive stirring in his chest.
"Well now," Kid growled, his Scottish lilt thickening as he spoke, "Looks like someone's havin' a proper bad day. Or maybe they're just remindin' everyone who's in charge." He crossed his arms, his bicep straining against the fabric of his shirt, revealing the beginning of the dark happy trail that disappeared beneath his waistband.
Beside him, Killer came to a halt, his masked head tilting to the side. Through the circular vents of his helmet, his eyes tracked the way the crowd was fleeing in terror. He recognized that particular brand of chaos immediately. A low, muffled chuckle rumbled from behind the metal mask. "Fafafafa! That's certainly a familiar way to announce oneself, isn't it, Captain?" Killer asked, his own accent carrying that same rough, northern edge. "If I'm not mistaken, we've got company."
Heat stepped up to Kid's left, cracking his knuckles. "Someone's got a lot of nerve pushin' people around in front of us," he muttered, though there was a hint of approval in his tone. "Should I burn 'em out, Captain?"
Wire remained silent on the right, his arms crossed and his droopy eyes scanning the approaching figure. He didn't speak, but he shifted his trident slightly, his stance alert but curious. He remembered the slums. He remembered the fights. He knew that voice.
Kid didn't answer Heat. He didn't even look at him. His entire focus was locked on the figure emerging from the chaos ahead. He stood his ground, a massive wall of muscle and metal, waiting for the collision. He could see the dust rising from the scuffle, and his grin widened into something hungry and proud.
"Let 'em come," Kid rumbled, his voice dropping into a deep, resonant growl that seemed to vibrate in his chest. "I wanna see if they're still as much of a pain in the arse as they were when we were kids."
The air didn't just grow heavy; it turned solid. The pressure of the Haki rolling off you came in waves, invisible but devastating. Civilians who hadn't already been shoved aside now collapsed in a domino effect, their eyes rolling back as they slumped onto the cobblestones, unconscious before they even understood what was happening. The very ground seemed to groan under the weight of your will, dust swirling in violent eddies around your feet.
Kid didn't flinch when you spoke. "There you are." The snarl in your voice sent a jolt straight down his spine. Then came the assault not with a blade or a fist, but with a concentrated burst of Conqueror's Haki designed to bring him to his knees.
The impact was like a physical wall hitting him. The shockwave rippled through the air, cracking the cobblestones beneath Kid's massive boots. His massive frame lurched forward a fraction of an inch, his muscles coiling like springs. The fur of his coat bristled as the Haki pressed against him, trying to force his pride into the dirt.
Kid's teeth ground together, a low, guttural growl escaping his throat. The strain was visible the veins in his thick neck bulged, and the dark hair of his happy trail glistened with a thin sheen of sweat as his core tightened to resist the crushing pressure. He refused to budge. His boots dug deep furrows into the street, stone splintering under his weight.
Damn, Kid thought, his amber eyes blazing with a mixture of fury and desperate admiration. Look at that. They're tryin' to put me on my knees in the middle of the street. The thought didn't enrage him it thrilled him. The raw, unbridled power pouring off you was the most beautiful thing he'd seen in years. His heart hammered against his ribs, not from fear, but from the sheer excitement of facing someone who could actually match his intensity.
"Fafafafa!" Killer’s laughter cut through the oppressive atmosphere. Even he had to plant his feet firmly to avoid being swept away by the residual energy, his masked head shaking with amusement. "Captain, I think they've forgotten who's in charge here," Killer called out, his Scottish lilt carrying a teasing edge. "Or maybe they're just remindin' you that you're not the only one with a big ego."
Heat steeled himself, his face twisted in a grimace as he fought to stay upright against the Haki. "What the hell is this pressure?" he barked, his voice strained. "Boss, you gonna let 'em treat you like some tavern drunk?"
Wire remained the most composed, though his eyes were wide with shock. He shifted his weight, keeping his trident ready, but he didn't move to intervene. He could see the look on Kid's face. This wasn't a fight for him it was a reunion.
Kid finally managed to push back against the pressure, his own Haki flaring up in a crimson tinged aura that clashed against yours, creating small sparks of black lightning that crackled between you. His feral grin returned, wider and more dangerous than before. He didn't kneel. Instead, he took one deliberate, heavy step forward, leaning his massive bulk into the psychic assault.
"Kneel? Me?" Kid roared, his voice a rough, Scottish rumble that drowned out the wind. "You've got some nerve comin' back after all this time and thinkin' you can make me bow down, ya stubborn brat!" He laughed again, a booming sound that shook his entire chest. "I love it! I absolutely love it!"

[Setting: A hidden metal fortress carved into a rocky New World cove; Late Afternoon]
The screech of metal tearing against metal echoed through the cavernous hideout like a dying scream. Dust motes danced violently in the shafts of orange sunlight filtering through the newly created gap where the reinforced door had been. The air inside was thick with the familiar, sharp scents of the Kid Pirates: gun oil, scorched metal, stale ale, and the salty tang of the sea.
Eustass Kid had been hunched over a cluttered workbench, his massive frame casting a shadow that seemed to swallow half the room. His mechanical arm whirred softly as he tinkered with a salvaged cannon part, the sparks from his work occasionally casting amber light across his scarred features. Beside him, Killer was leaning against a support beam, idly sharpening one of his scythes, the rhythmic shink shink of stone against steel providing a steady heartbeat to the room.
At the sound of the explosion, Kid reacted instinctively. In one fluid, violent motion, he surged upright, his chair clattering backward against the stone floor. His right arm the massive, jagged construct of scrap metal surged with magnetic energy, sparks cascading off the iron plates like deadly fireflies. "What the bloody hell ?!" he roared, his Scottish accent thick and gravelly with immediate, murderous intent. "Who's there?! Show yerself before I magnetize yer guts tae the ceiling!"
Heat and Wire, who had been lounging near a pile of weapon crates, were on their feet in an instant. Heat's hands ignited with a low, threatening flicker of flame, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the doorway. Wire gripped his trident tightly, his usual mopey expression replaced by a sharp, deadly focus.
But then, the dust began to settle.
Kid's amber eyes locked onto you. His breathing was ragged, his chest heaving beneath his fur coat as adrenaline coursed through him. He was ready to crush whatever intruder had dared to breach his sanctum and then he froze. The mechanical whirring of his arm died down to a faint hum. The sparks faded. His jaw didn't just drop; it seemed to lock in place.
No way, Kid thought, his heart hammering against his ribs with such force it felt like it might crack bone. It can't be. That face... those eyes... they're supposed to be back in the South Blue. They're supposed to be safe. They're supposed to be... His mind raced back to a freezing alleyway, the taste of stale, stolen bread, and the desperate, childish vow he'd shouted into the wind. They actually found me.
A furious, burning heat crept up Kid's neck, flooding his cheeks until they matched the crimson of his hair. "You " he stammered, his voice cracking embarrassingly. "You absolute bloody madman! Ye can't just kick the door down like some shite eating Marine!" He tried to summon his usual bravado, but his hands, still resting on the workbench, were shaking almost imperceptibly.
Killer didn't move to attack. Instead, the blade in his hand stopped mid stroke. The blue and white helmet tilted to the side as he observed you. A low, unmistakable sound rumbled from behind the metal mask the distinctive, muffled laugh that defined him. "Fafafafa!" Killer's shoulders shook. "Well now, Captain. Seems your 'long term investment' just showed up to collect."
Heat's flames died down, his jaw slack as he looked between you and his captain. "Wait... you know this person?" he muttered, glancing at Wire, who simply blinked in stunned silence, his trident lowering.
Kid let out a frustrated groan, yanking the collar of his fur coat up to try and hide the obvious blush creeping across his face. "Shut it, Killer! I don't know what yer talkin' about!" But he didn't move away. He couldn't. His eyes remained fixed on you, searching your face, terrified that if he blinked, you'd vanish like a mirage born of gunpowder and old memories. "What the fuck do you want anyway? And why're you smirkin' like that?"
Your eyes narrowed in visceral fury from the question as you marched towards him with steam coming off of your body from the rage of it all.
"Don't act daft." You snarl with all of your teeth. You looked like you were going to bite his head off. "I came to collect your hand."
Kid didn't move. He couldn't. He stayed pressed against his workbench, his massive frame making him seem even larger as he loomed over the space, though he was backing up instinctively as you advanced. His amber eyes tracked every movement, the way your jaw set, the way your teeth bared in that feral snarl. The steam rising from your skin wasn't just a display of power it was a physical manifestation of a rage he recognized intimately. It was a mirror of his own.
Fuck, Kid thought, his pulse hammering in his throat. They're gonna kill me. Or kiss me. Or both. The thought sent a jolt of something far more dangerous than electricity through his system. He watched you march toward him, and instead of fear, he felt a surge of twisted pride. That fire in your eyes was exactly why he'd never forgotten you. You hadn't just survived the South Blue; you'd become something formidable. Something that could match his own violence.
As you drew closer, Kid’s breath hitched. He could smell the heat coming off you now. His flesh hand clenched into a fist on the table, his knuckles whitening. He tried to maintain his scowl, but it was cracking. The way you said you came to "collect his hand" made his stomach do a slow, nauseating flip. His mind flashed back to that stolen loaf of bread the way he'd grabbed your hand in the dirt and barked a promise he'd been too proud to ever take back.
"Collect my hand?" Kid roared, though the volume was more about covering his panic than actual anger. His Scottish accent thickened as he gestured wildly with his mechanical arm, the metal plates grinding. "What d'ye think this is, some bloody fairy tale?! Ye can't just storm in here after years and demand " His voice died in his throat as you got within arm's reach. Even with your power and rage, he still towered over you, his 6'9 frame casting a shadow that completely enveloped you. His shirt had ridden up slightly from his sudden movement, revealing the dark red happy trail that disappeared beneath the waistband of his trousers.
Killer's muffled laughter erupted again, louder this time. "Fafafafa! Oh, this is priceless." Killer didn't move from his position against the beam, but his helmet tilted with obvious amusement. "Give it up, Kid. You're not fooling anyone. You've been moping about that promise for years. I can see you're shaking."
"I'm not shakin'!" Kid bellowed, spinning his head toward Killer. "I'm furious! There's a difference!"
Heat and Wire exchanged a long, bewildered look. Heat's flames had completely vanished, replaced by a look of dawning comprehension. "Wait... the hand?" Heat whispered, his accent thick. "The promise about the marriage? That's who this is?" Wire simply nodded slowly, his droopy eyes widening as he realized the legendary 'fiance' Kid had bragged about in fits of drunken nostalgia was actually standing in their hideout, looking ready to dismantle the place.
Kid turned back to you, his chest heaving. He was caught between the instinct to grab you and the instinct to flee. He settled for neither, instead leaning down until his face was mere inches from yours. The heat from your body was unmistakable now, and Kid felt his own temperature rising. "Ye think I'm daft?" he growled, his voice dropping to a low, rough rumble that vibrated in his chest. "I'm the one who made the deal. I don't break my word."

[Setting: New World Port Town War torn Streets; Midday]
The air is thick with the acrid sting of gunpowder and the metallic tang of blood. The cobblestones beneath your boots are slick, littered with broken glass and the unconscious forms of Marine soldiers. Every muscle in your body is coiled tight, your knuckles split and throbbing. You let out a snarl as another Marine stumbles toward you, his rifle half raised. Without hesitation, you drive your fist forward with enough force to crack the man's jaw audibly. The impact sends a satisfying jolt up your arm as his head snaps back, sending him sprawling into a pile of rubble.
A few yards away, the Kid Pirates have formed a loose semicircle, having already carved through their own section of the Marine blockade.
Eustass Kid is standing completely still. His massive frame towers over the battlefield, the crimson fur of his coat billowing in the wind like a battle standard. His mechanical arm whirs softly as sparks dance between the metal joints, but he hasn't moved a muscle since you entered his line of sight. His amber eyes are fixed on you wide, unblinking, and utterly focused.
Look at 'em, Kid thinks, his heart hammering against his ribs. That same vicious look in their eyes from when we were kids... but stronger. Way stronger. They're absolutely tearing through those bastards. God, they're beautiful when they're pissed off. The sight of your rage doesn't intimidate him; it excites him. It validates everything he remembered about you. But he's frozen, his throat feeling tight. He wants to roar your name, to grab you and drag you away from this filthy battlefield, but for once in his life, the loud mouthed captain is struggling to find his voice.
Killer stands beside him, one hand resting on his hip while the other adjusts the position of his twin scythes. Through the circular vents of his helmet, he watches your brutal efficiency with obvious approval. He notices Kid’s catatonic state the way his captain has gone completely silent, mouth slightly agape.
"Fafafafa!" Killer’s muffled laughter echoes from behind his mask, his Scottish lilt cutting through the sounds of combat. "Look at that, Captain. I think they've forgotten you're even here. Or maybe they're just waiting for you to stop staring like a landed fish." He nudges Kid hard with his elbow, hoping to break the spell. "They look properly furious, Kid. You might wanna say somethin' before they decide you're part of the scenery."
"Shut it, Killer!" Kid finally barks, though his voice cracks slightly. He shifts his weight, his massive boots grinding into the stone. The movement pulls his shirt taut across his chest and stomach, revealing the dark red hair of his happy trail disappearing beneath his belt. His face is beginning to flush a shade of pink that nearly matches his hair. "I'm no' staring! I'm... assessin' the situation!"
Heat steps forward, flames licking at the corners of his mouth as he incinerates a Marine who dared to crawl toward you. He glances back at you with a grin, his accent thick and rough. "Aye, they've still got that temper we remember from the South Blue, eh? Maybe even worse now. I love it."
Wire nods silently from his position, his mopey eyes tracking your movements. "Still strong," he mutters quietly, his voice a low Scottish rumble. He keeps his trident ready, but his posture is relaxed he knows you've got this handled.
Kid takes a heavy step forward, the ground seeming to tremble under his weight. He wants to reach out, to make contact, but he hesitates, watching you prepare to strike another Marine. The possessive urge to claim you is warring with the sheer shock of your transformation.
"MERCY?! YOU WANT MERCY!!! WELL I WANT A FUCKING WEDDING AND I CAN'T GET IT SO YOU WON'T GET MERCY!"
The Marine's plea for mercy dies in his throat as your scream tears through the chaos of the battlefield. The declaration echoes off the crumbling stone walls of the surrounding buildings, momentarily silencing even the distant sounds of cannon fire. For a heartbeat, the only sound is your ragged breathing and the Marine's terrified whimpering as he stares up at your furious face.
A few yards away, Eustass Kid looks as though he's been struck by lightning. His amber eyes go wide, his pupils contracting as the words a fucking wedding slam into his consciousness. The mechanical whirring of his arm becomes erratic, sparks showering the cobblestones as his control over his magnetic abilities wavers from sheer emotional overload. His face doesn't just blush; it turns a shade of crimson that rivals his hair, the heat spreading down his neck and disappearing beneath the collar of his shirt, where the dark red line of his happy trail disappears into his waistband.
A wedding?! His mind screams in a panicked loop. They said that? Right here? In front of everyone?! He feels exposed, raw, and utterly terrified not of the Marines, but of the sheer, unadulterated truth in your voice. The guilt he's been suppressing for years about that stupid promise in the South Blue surges up like bile, mixing with an overwhelming, possessive pride.
Killer's head tilts sharply to the side, the circular vents of his mask seeming to pulse with his own suppressed amusement. "Fafafafa! Oh, Captain, you've really done it now," he crows, his Scottish accent thick with mirth. He leans toward Kid, lowering his voice just enough to be teasing but loud enough for the others to hear. "Sounds like someone's been holdin' a grudge longer than a bad hangover. And here I thought you were the only one who kept promises."
Heat's flames gutter momentarily as he stares at you in genuine shock. "Christ alive," he mutters, rubbing the back of his neck. "They're not just angry at the Marines. They're angry at him. That's... that's terrifying."
Wire remains silent, but his grip tightens on his trident, his droopy eyes fixed on you with newfound reverence. He recognizes that kind of fury it's the kind that burns down entire cities.
Kid finally breaks his paralysis. "Oi! What the hell are you shoutin' about now, ya mad bastard!?" he roars back, though his voice lacks its usual venomous authority. It sounds more like a man trying to cover up a panic attack. He stomps forward, his massive frame casting a long, intimidating shadow over you and the cowering Marine. His boots crack against the stone with each heavy stride. "A wedding?! We're in the middle of a warzone, not some piss poor village festival!"
Despite his bluster, he doesn't stop until he's standing directly beside you, his towering 6'9 height forcing him to look down at you. He's close enough that you can feel the heat radiating off his body and smell the gunpowder and sweat clinging to him. His flesh hand trembles slightly as he reaches out, not to touch you yet, but as if he's instinctively wanting to shield you or claim you from the very Marine you're threatening.
"And don't go makin' it sound like I forgot you on purpose, ya daft " His voice cuts off as he catches your eye, his bravado crumbling. His amber gaze searches yours, fierce and desperate. "I never forgot. I just... I had to become someone worth marryin' first, didn't I? Someone who could actually keep the promise instead of just talkin' shite in an alleyway."

[Setting: Deck of the Victoria Punk; Late Afternoon]
The sun hung low over the churning waters of the New World, casting long, blood orange shadows across the deck of the Victoria Punk. The air was thick with the familiar scents of salt spray, gunpowder, and the metallic tang that always seemed to cling to Eustass Kid. But today, the atmosphere on the ship wasn't just tense it was volatile.
CRASH!
A heavy metal fist slammed into the wooden railing of the ship, splintering the planks instantly. Kid stood there, his massive frame looming over the deck like an approaching storm. His crimson hair seemed to glow brighter in the dying sunlight, and his mechanical arm whirred with agitated energy, sparks dancing between the jagged metal components as his grip tightened. In his flesh hand, he clutched a crumpled bounty poster, the edges torn from how violently he had been handling it.
"That damn brat, they are supposed tae be waitin' for me tae come back!" Kid roared, his Scottish accent thickening with every syllable of his fury. His amber eyes were fixed on the face printed on the parchment your face. "Look at this bounty! How bloody how much has this happened without me there tae watch over 'em? They've gone and become a proper menace tae the World Government!"
Internally, Kid's chest felt like it was being constricted by heated chains. He wasn't truly angry at you he could never be but the sight of your face on that poster, surrounded by numbers that represented danger, blood, and violence, made his blood boil. He remembered you small and hungry in those South Blue alleyways, sharing scraps of bread. Now, seeing you recognized as one of the most dangerous forces in the sea made him feel a terrifying mix of ferocious pride and desperate possessiveness. You had survived. You had conquered. But you had done it alone, and that thought gnawed at him like acid.
A few paces away, leaning casually against the main mast with his arms crossed over his broad chest, Killer watched the display with obvious amusement. The sunlight glinted off the polished surface of his blue and white helmet, the circular vents casting small shadows across his masked face. His blond goatee peeked out from beneath the bottom edge of the mask.
"Fafafafa!" Killer's muffled laughter rang out, distinctive and mocking. "Calm yer self down, Captain. Ye'll break the whole ship before we even reach the next island." He tilted his head, studying the bounty poster Kid was threatening to incinerate with sheer rage. "Though I suppose I can't blame ye for bein' startled. They've certainly grown up tae be somethin' else, haven't they?"
Killer's tone was calm, the steadying force that the crew relied on, but there was a clear edge of teasing in his voice. He knew exactly why Kid was truly shouting. "Besides," Killer added, his voice dropping slightly lower, though the smirk was audible, "if they're already this famous, it'll make finding 'em a whole lot easier when ye finally decide tae collect on that stupid promise of yours."
"Shut yer trap, Killer!" Kid snapped, spinning around to glare at his right hand man, his entire face flushing a deep, embarrassed scarlet that rivaled his hair. "It wasn't it was just somethin' I said when we were starved and stupid! I ain't goin' chasin' after 'em just because of some half eaten loaf of bread!"
Behind them, Heat stood nearby, arms crossed, his scarred features set in a hard expression. He let out a rough snort, sparks of flame flickering at the corner of his mouth. "Boss is right tae be pissed," Heat muttered gruffly. "Anyone who can climb that high on the wanted lists is gonna be attractin' all sorts of trouble. We'll need tae be ready tae fight 'em off or fight alongside 'em."
Wire remained silent as always, leaning against a weapon crate with his trident planted firmly between his feet. His droopy eyes moved from Kid to the bounty poster, his expression unreadable but his posture suggesting he was already mentally preparing for whatever chaos your arrival would bring.
Kid turned back to the sea, huffing like a wounded bull, but his grip on the poster loosened just enough to reveal your eyes on the page. "Damn them all to hell," he growled under his breath, though his thumb unconsciously stroked over the paper where your cheek was printed. "Just wait until I get me hands on you."
He looked up at the crew, his expression shifting from embarrassment back to his usual intimidating ferocity. "Oi! Heat! Wire! Get the supplies ready! We're changin' course. We're headin' straight into whatever territory they're tearin' apart."
Killer let out another chuckle, "Fafafafa! So the hunt is on, then?"

[Setting: Victoria Punk Main Deck; Sunset]
The sky above the New World was bleeding deep purples melting into angry oranges and bruised crimsons that mirrored the color of Kid's own hair. The sun was dipping dangerously low toward the horizon, casting long, distorted shadows across the wooden planks of the Victoria Punk. The salt spray of the ocean clung to everything, a constant, gritty reminder of the unforgiving sea they called home.
Eustass Kid stood at the railing, his massive frame hunched slightly forward. His mechanical arm whirred with a faint, metallic protest as he gripped the ship's edge, the enchanted metal fingers leaving shallow indentations in the reinforced wood. His crimson hair whipped violently in the evening wind, strands lashing across his scarred face. His amber eyes weren't fixed on the horizon for navigation or spotting enemy ships; they were unfocused, glazed with a rare, haunting vulnerability that he would sooner die than admit to anyone else.
"They are the method to my madness..." Kid admitted quietly, his voice barely audible over the creaking of the ship's hull and the distant crash of waves. The words felt foreign in his mouth, rough and unpracticed. His mind was betraying him again, conjuring images that burned brighter than any forge. He could see your face not the hardened warrior the world knew you to be, but the kid from the South Blue. He could almost hear your laugh cutting through the sounds of cannon fire and screaming metal, a sound that used to be his only comfort in the starving darkness of the slums.
A few paces behind him, Killer leaned against the mast, arms crossed over his broad chest. The light blue and white of his helmet caught the fading sunlight, the circular vents along his face casting strange patterns of shadow. He had been silent for a long time, observing his captain with the patient, calculating stillness that only he could maintain. The blonde goatee visible beneath the edge of his mask twitched slightly as he let out a soft, knowing breath.
"You've been staring at that same patch of water for nearly an hour, Captain," Killer remarked, his Scottish lilt smooth despite the mechanical filter of his breathing. "Unless you've developed the ability to see through the horizon, I'd say your mind is somewhere far behind us."
Kid stiffened, his shoulders squaring as he immediately tried to summon his usual defensive aggression. "Oi, shut yer gob, Killer! I'm just... thinkin' about tactics. The currents in this sector are shite."
Killer didn't buy it for a second. A low, muffled chuckle escaped his helmet that unmistakable, rhythmic "Fafafafa!" that always seemed to grate on Kid's nerves precisely when Kid needed to maintain his dignity. "Tactics? Is that what we're calling memories of stolen bread and childhood promises now? Aye, whatever helps you sleep at night."
Kid's face flushed a furious, brilliant red, nearly matching his hair. He turned his head away sharply, jaw clenched so tight the muscles jumped. "I told you to piss off about that! That was a lifetime ago, dinnae remind me." But even as he barked the words, his grip on the railing tightened, his knuckles whitening. His inner thoughts were a storm of contradictions: anger at the memory for making him weak, and an overwhelming, possessive ache to find you and prove that he had become exactly what he said he would be.
Near the weapon racks, Heat and Wire were occupied with their own routine. Heat was sharpening a blade, the fire in his eyes dimming to a steady glow as he worked, while Wire stood like a silent statue, his trident resting against his shoulder, his droopy eyes tracking the movement of the clouds. Both of them glanced toward the Captain and Killer. They knew. In the quiet moments like this, the crew could sense the shift in the air the way Kid's usual tempestuous energy turned into something heavier, something more desperate.
Heat muttered something under his breath to Wire in a rough Scottish accent, something about the Captain being 'completely whipped by a ghost,' but Wire simply offered a slow, solemn nod, his silence acknowledging the unspoken truth that bound their crew together.
Kid turned back to the sea, the wind howling past his ears. "Fucking hell," he growled to himself, his voice dropping to a rough rumble. "I'm gonna find 'em. And when I do... they'll see I didn't forget a single damn thing."
"Fafafafa! Took you long enough." Killer laughed. "I have a few ideas where they are traveling, I kept all my old contracts from the South Blue to here in case they went sailing. They have.. got all the way to the New World."
Kid froze mid turn, his entire body locking up as if his own magnetic powers had seized his joints. For several seconds, the only sound was the creaking of the ship's timber and the distant, mocking cry of a seagull. His amber eyes blew wide, fixed on Killer with an expression that teetered dangerously between murderous rage and desperate hope.
"What the fuck did you just say?" Kid's voice came out as a low, dangerous growl that vibrated in his chest. He turned fully now, his massive frame casting a shadow that seemed to swallow the space between them. His mechanical arm whirred violently, sparks dancing between the jagged metal plates as his emotions spiked. "You've been what? Keepin' track? Since when, Killer? Since when have you been playin' informant with some shite contracts from the South Blue?"
Killer didn't flinch. He simply adjusted his stance, the sunlight glinting off the polished surface of his helmet. "Since I realized my Captain was too busy chasin' scraps and glory to notice what was right under his nose," Killer replied coolly, his Scottish accent carrying a note of dry amusement. "I've been cross referencing bounty reports, shipping manifests, and old mercenary contracts for years. Every time a name popped up that matched the patterns we knew from back home... I kept it." The blue and white mask tilted slightly. "And they've made it. They're here, Kid. In the New World. Strong enough to survive the Grand Line, and strong enough to be making waves."
Kid's breath hitched. A surge of something primal and possessive tore through his gut. The anger at being kept in the dark was there he wanted to grab Killer by his t shirt and shake him until his teeth rattled but it was being drowned out by a tidal wave of adrenaline. The reality that you weren't just a memory, not just a ghost haunting his drunken thoughts, but a living, breathing force somewhere in these treacherous waters, made his blood sing.
His hand went unconsciously to his stomach, fingers brushing against the coarse fabric of his shirt where his own red happy trail matching the fiery crimson of his hair disappeared beneath his waistband. He felt alive. More alive than he had in years of slaughter and conquest.
"They're here..." Kid whispered, the words more of a vow than a statement. His eyes darkened with an intensity that could melt steel. The vulnerability from moments before was gone, replaced by the focused, terrifying resolve of a predator who had finally caught the scent. "You mean to tell me you've had this information and you're only tellin' me now?"
"I waited until the trail was hot enough to follow," Killer said simply, his tone suggesting that this was the most logical course of action. "No sense chasin' ghosts. Now, we're chasin' a legend."
Heat stepped forward from the weapon racks, wiping grease from his hands onto a rag. His scarred face split into a grim smile. "Well, if they're in the New World, they're either dead or dangerous as hell. Either way, it'll be a bloody welcome back." He looked at Kid, his loyalty evident in his stance. "Where do we start, Captain?"
Wire remained silent, but he moved closer to the railing, his droopy eyes fixed on the horizon, his trident held ready. His silence was his answer: he was ready to hunt.
Kid let out a bark of laughter not his usual cruel laugh, but something wilder, more feral. He slammed his mechanical fist into the railing, leaving a fresh dent in the wood. "We start by turnin' this ship around!" he roared, his voice carrying across the entire deck. "We're not chasin' shadows anymore! We're goin' after what's mine!"
He turned to Killer, his face flushed with both fury and excitement, his teeth bared in a grin that promised violence to anyone who stood in his way. "And you better not have missed a single damn detail, Killer. If I find out you've been holdin' back, I'll magnetize your bloody helmet to the mast!"
But beneath the bluster, Kid's heart was hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. I'm comin' for you, he thought fiercely, his mind already mapping out routes, scanning faces in every port, and preparing for the moment he would finally see those eyes again. And this time, nobody not the Marines, not the Emperors, not even the gods themselves is takin' you away from me again.

BOTH KID AND KILLER SHOULD HAVE SLIGHT SCOTTISH ACCENTS
In One Piece, Heat and Wire (Eustass Kid’s loyal crewmates) react to a new person with extreme caution and fierce protectiveness. Because they were once rival gang leaders in the South Blue, they operate under a strict code of trust and view any newcomer as a potential threat to "the boss" (Kid).How They Would React to a New PersonWire (The Silent Enforcer): Wire is taciturn and serious. He would likely stand in the background with his trademark mopish face and arms crossed, sizing the new person up. He relies heavily on intimidation and his spiked gear to keep strangers at a distance.Heat (The Fiery Vanguard): Heat is far more aggressive and vocal. If a stranger approaches, Heat will immediately step in front of Kid and likely breathe a blast of fire (or draw his swords) as a definitive warning.What Happens if the Newcomer is...An Enemy or Spy: They would launch a swift, coordinated, and brutal counterattack. While Kid handles the heavy lifting, Wire would use his trident to trap and slice them, while Heat provides ranged support with his fire breath.A Potential Crewmate: They would remain highly skeptical. The crew was heavily betrayed by Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins, so trust is a major issue for them. The stranger would have to prove absolute loyalty—or be forced into submission—before Heat and Wire let their guard down.
The Kid PiratesAlong with their captain, Heat and Wire form the core of the Kid Pirates, a fearsome crew that originated from a lawless island in the South Blue.Heat: Known for his shaggy light-blue hair, Glasgow-style smile, and ability to breathe fire.Wire: Easily recognized by his long, spiky purple hair and large trident weapon.Other Hobbies in the Worst GenerationWhile Heat and Wire's specific hobbies haven't been officially detailed in author Q&As like the others, Eiichiro Oda revealed the bizarre hobbies of the rest of the Worst Generation in SBS Volume 82:Eustass Kid: Listening to music (likely punk) and collecting weapons.Killer: Playing the drums and cooking.
The Kid Pirates are a notorious rookie pirate crew from the manga and anime series One Piece. Led by the violent and ambitious captain Eustass Kid, they are part of the elite rookie group known as the Worst Generation.Captain and Core CrewEustass "Captain" Kid: The captain hails from the South Blue. He ate the Jiki Jiki no Mi (Magnet-Magnet Fruit), allowing him to control metal and create massive mechanical arms. His high bounty initially surpassed Luffy's due to the high civilian casualties left in his wake.Killer ("Massacre Soldier"): Kid's right-hand man and vice-captain, recognizable by his horned mask and use of scythe-blades.Heat and Wire: Combat officers who help back up Kid and Killer during major conflicts.Crew Size: The crew consists of 31 members total, featuring a heavy metal and punk aesthetic.
The Kid Pirates are one of the most prominent, ruthless, and tightly-knit crews of the Worst Generation in One Piece, famously known for causing massive civilian casualties and boasting a heavy metal, punk-rock aesthetic. Beneath their bloodthirsty public reputation lies a crew built on deep-seated childhood trauma, fierce isolationism, and an unshakeable fraternal loyalty.Crew Origins & FoundationsAs revealed by Eiichiro Oda in SBS Volume 104, the core of the crew grew up on an isolated, lawless island in the South Blue that lacked World Government protection.The Four Gangs: The island was ruled by four local gangs, led individually by Eustass Kid, Killer, Wire, and Heat.The Shared Tragedy: Despite daily turf wars, they all shared a close bond and a mutual childhood crush on a girl named Victoria Shiruton Doruyanaika. When a malicious rival gang murdered Victoria, the four leaders united out of grief and rage to completely overthrow the island's criminal underworld.Setting Sail: Following their victory, Kid formed the Kid Pirates, naming their ship the Victoria Punk in her honor, with Killer, Wire, and Heat serving as his founding subordinates.Core Internal Dynamics & Relationships1. Eustass Kid & Killer (The Dynamic Duo)The relationship between Captain Kid and his First Mate, Killer, is the emotional anchor of the entire crew. Unlike many pirate hierarchies, they treat each other as absolute equals and brothers.The Voice of Reason: Kid is inherently boisterous, hot-headed, and quick to extreme violence. Killer acts as his level-headed anchor, serving as the sole voice of reason capable of calming Kid down and steering his reckless ambition.Mutual Protection: Their loyalty is absolute. When Killer was captured by Orochi and forced to consume a failed SMILE fruit—turning him into the tragic laughing warrior "Kamazou"—Kid broke out of the Udon Prisoner Mine solely to rescue him, weeping openly at his friend's mental torture.2. The Officers (Heat and Wire)While they rarely steal the spotlight, Heat and Wire hold a profound respect for Kid's leadership. Because they transitioned directly from rival gang leaders to loyal crewmates, their dedication is rooted in history rather than simple fear. They are highly protective of Kid and are willing to fight to the death alongside him against overwhelming entities like Emperors of the Sea.3. Deep Loyalty Beneath an Edgy ExteriorThough the Kid Pirates present themselves as arrogant and aloof, they care for one another deeply. Kid's primary motivation during the Wano Arc was not just defeating Kaido, but ensuring the safety of his missing crew. When Big Mom temporarily knocked Kid unconscious, the entire crew valiantly threw themselves in harm's way to protect his body.
The Kid Pirates operate with a strict "Us vs. The World" mentality, a psychological trait born from growing up without systemic protection.RelationshipNature of DynamicKey Outcome / ImpactMonkey D. LuffyIntense, bitter rivalryKid views Luffy as his primary roadblock to becoming Pirate King. While they occasionally form grudging alliances (Sabaody, Wano), Kid despises cooperating with him.Trafalgar LawTactical, cynical cooperationNeither trust each other, but their complementary tactical abilities allowed them to successfully awaken their Devil Fruits and defeat Big Mom.Scratchmen Apoo & Basil HawkinsSevere, scarring betrayalKid attempted to build an alliance to take down Shanks. Apoo's malicious insider betrayal to Kaido fractured the alliance and deeply traumatized Kid's worldview.The Anti-Alliance StanceThe betrayal by the On Air and Hawkins pirates permanently closed Kid off from diplomacy. Following Wano, he explicitly stated that he would never trust an outsider again, relying strictly on his tight-knit family of 31 punk-rock crewmates. This fierce, uncompromising isolationism eventually became their tragic undoing when they recklessly challenged Red-Haired Shanks alone at Elbaf without an extended fleet or proper military backing.
Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law's dynamic in One Piece often features Kid aggressively teasing or "rage-baiting" Law and the Heart Pirates, pushing Law's buttons through constant bravado, insults, and competing for the spotlight.The Rivalry and DynamicContrasting Personalities: Kid is hot-headed, loud, and aggressive, while Law is cool, calculated, and sarcastic.Constant Bickering: During the Wano Country arc and routine alliances, Kid routinely provokes Law, mocking his plans or calling out his soft spots to get a rise out of him.Mutual Annoyance: Law tries to maintain his dignity as a strategic captain, making his inevitable irritation prime comedic material for fans comparing the two Worst Generation crews. Eustass Kid famously rage-baits Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law during their departure from Wano, treating the fellow captains like uncool amateurs and underdogs to trigger their massive competitive egos.The Dynamic Between the CaptainsThe Wano Exit Tease: Kid deliberately provokes Luffy and Law by acting superior about their route choices and capabilities.Falling for the Trap: Despite just defeating two Emperors, Luffy and Law immediately take the bait, abandoning their composure to argue like children over who is less scared or more capable.Comedy Gold: The interaction highlights how childish and petty the worst generation's biggest names can be when they are put in the same room.
The confirmed and estimated heights for the key members of the Kid Pirates reflect their massive, towering builds compared to normal humans in the One Piece world: Eustass Kid stands at 205 cm (6'9"), and Killer stands at 195 cm (6'6). Heat is 7'0". Wire is 8'3".
Growing up with Eustass Kid means enduring his aggressive bravado, but also being the only person he genuinely trusts outside of Killer. If he falls for you, his deep-seated protective instincts and fierce, possessive loyalty will take over. His rough exterior will remain, but his treatment of you will shift in very specific ways:Fiercely Protective: He is fiercely protective and will not let anyone disrespect or harm you.Viscerally Clingy: He shows physical affection roughly but is incredibly touchy, always wanting to hold your hand or pull you close.Deeply Possessive: He gets insanely jealous of others. He will make it clear to his crew and rivals that you are his.Unwaveringly Devoted: Despite his chaotic and ruthless nature, he prioritizes your well-being and happiness above his own ambitions. He is loyal to a fault, making your safety the cornerstone of his life on the seas.
Eustass "Captain" Kid and Killer are childhood best friends who grew up in the slums of an anarchic South Blue island. Their unbreakable bond drives them to sail the seas together, but their contrasting personalities—Kid’s explosive, fiery ambition and Killer’s calm, level-headed, and surprisingly empathetic nature—make them one of the most compelling dynamics in One Piece.To explore their unique bond:The Origin Story: Born in a lawless, unnamed country, they originally led rival street gangs along with their friends Heat and Wire. Enraged, Kid united the rival gangs, overthrew the corrupt rulers, and vowed to set out to sea. Eustass Kid's Personality: Kid is ferocious, hot-headed, and relentlessly ambitious. He mirrors Luffy in his desire to become the Pirate King, but approaches it with a more ruthless, callous edge. Despite his aggressive exterior, he is fiercely loyal to his crew, holds a deep respect for Killer, and despises anyone who mocks his friends.Killer's Personality: Known as the "Massacre Soldier", Killer is level-headed and acts as the brain and emotional anchor to Kid's raw power. While equally capable of intense violence, he is highly logical, often keeping Kid from making impulsive decisions or acting recklessly.
Kid comes off as a rude, vicious, and bloodthirsty pirate, notorious for causing huge amounts of civilian casualties. Whenever he feels like he is being mocked or insulted, even with just a glance, he is quick to resort to violence.[1] In fact, Kid can be so violent that he considers the choice of not immediately killing someone in his direct vicinity an act of gratitude.[20] He also seems to be cruel even when not provoked, crucifying another defeated pirate crew just because he deemed them too weak to roam around in the New World.[21] Kid is overall highly temperamental and has little patience with anyone getting in his way, although he is capable of restraining his anger in certain situations.[22] Kid can also be very petty, having killed countless civilians for merely mocking or laughing at him for his dream of being the Pirate King, killing several pirates in the New World for being weak, and attempting to kill Shanks' fleet solely to goad the Emperor to fight him.
Kid is bold, cocky, and fearless, known to run into danger regardless of the consequences.[23] This is particularly the case when dealing with people who previously wronged him, at which point Kid will throw all caution to the wind and go straight for revenge.[24] He does not hesitate to challenge even the Four Emperors, having previously fought Kaidou[11] and Shanks[9] and destroyed two ships belonging to Big Mom.[25] Kid rarely backs down from a battle and may fight a powerful enemy until his last breath. The fact that he did not join the Beasts Pirates despite not standing a chance against Kaidou is a testament to Kid's disposition.[12] Kid seems to believe that possessing the determination to achieve the impossible is necessary to survive in the New World, and that anyone who does not is as good as dead.[21]
Kid is very prideful of his reputation and aims to reach a top spot in the world of piracy, which he plans to achieve by beating the Four Emperors, even if it means dying for it.[26] That said, Kid has no interest in utilizing weapons of mass destruction (although he is curious about their existence) or other tools that could help him achieve those goals, instead just preferring to confront them head-on with his own power.[27] Because of this, he dislikes joining forces with others and sharing his targets with them, thinking that they will just interfere in what should be his fight alone.[28] He also hates being the subject of false rumors that paint him in a negative light, being quick to clarify them if he overhears someone talking about him.[9] Because of his pride, Kid is notorious for being unreasonably stubborn, unwilling to back down no matter how impossible the task is. Despite this stubbornness, Kid has shown moments of maturity, willing to put his pride aside to work with his fellow Worst Generation members in overthrowing the Emperors of the Sea.
Kid is shown to be quite cynical about the World Government. He is not blind to the way the World Nobles act, remarking that, compared to them, pirates are almost humane in nature and honest about their faults, unlike the Nobles that justify their abuses of power through ancestry.[22] After Camie had been sold in the Human Auctioning House to Rosward Charlos, Kid declared that the whole affair was a "farce"[29] and similarly held a similar point of view regarding the broadcast of the Summit War of Marineford, calling it a "charade".[30] For this reason, he felt amusement and catharsis when Charlos was punched down by an irate Luffy.[31]
“ You know... On our journey up to this point, we've been laughed at and ridiculed whenever we mentioned getting our hands on the One Piece. And each time that happened, I slaughtered everyone who laughed. But what lies ahead is a sea of death for those who don't got the guts to mention it. Let's meet again in the New World! ” — Kid[32]
Kid and Luffy display many similarities in terms of attitude. Kid and Luffy display many similarities in terms of attitude.
Kid has the same dream as Luffy: to find One Piece and become the new Pirate King. Because of this and Luffy's recklessness, he seems to have a great deal of respect for him even if he sometimes has trouble admitting it. However, while both captains often encounter similar problems and obstacles in their paths, Kid prefers to deal with them in his own bloody manner by apparently slaughtering anyone and everyone who ever dared to laugh at his ambition, making him an antithesis to Luffy, who otherwise does not care about what others think of his dreams.[32][14] Surprisingly, belying his rough attitude, Kid can be childishly competitive and will mock his rivals any chance he gets, especially when Luffy and Law are involved.
Another similarity Kid has to Luffy is a strong degree of affection for his crewmates. Kid will recklessly defend or rescue his subordinates if they are mocked or in danger. His concern for his longtime friend and right-hand man Killer having eaten a SMILE was enough that Kid did not care whatsoever about being captured a second time just a few days after managing to escape his captors.[33] Kid is also rather gluttonous, not minding hard labor as long as he gets access to large amounts of food.[34]
Unlike Luffy, however, Kid is rather unfriendly and mistrusting of others, rarely leaving his guard down and warning his subordinates to follow suit. The failure of his alliance with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates, which happened due to the betrayal of Scratchmen Apoo, seems to have reinforced this mindset, as he initially turned down an offer from Luffy to team up with the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance.[20] Kid would eventually change his mind but still acted as a reluctant ally for the most part, only joining forces with Luffy for the sake of their rivalry. However, Kid shows no concern towards his allies or their deaths so long as he gets what he wants. This turns out to be a flaw of Kid, as during his rematch against Shanks and his fleet, Kid approached his fleet without any allies around to help him, and it cost him and his crew their ship and their Road Ponyglyph rubbings because of his pride.

Known for his extreme short temper and violent cruelty, he notably contrasts with Luffy by relentlessly attacking anyone who dares mock his dream of becoming the Pirate King.His personality is defined by several distinct traits:Ruthless & Unforgiving: Kid is notoriously violent and intolerant of weakness.

Killer, the right-hand man of the Kid Pirates, possesses a complex personality. Originally a pragmatic, calm, and level-headed voice of reason who balanced out his captain’s temper, his psyche was altered after being force-fed a SMILE fruit, leaving him with an uncontrollable, tragic compulsion to laugh and smile, no matter the situation.Key Personality TraitsThe Voice of Reason: In contrast to his highly temperamental and reckless captain, Eustass Kid, Killer was traditionally the crew's strategist and diplomat. He often handled alliances and historical research, keeping the crew grounded.Deep Loyalty: He shares an unbreakable, lifelong bond with Kid.

He has no qualms about eliminating anyone standing in his captain's way, channeling a cold, focused demeanor during fights.Tragic Irony (The SMILE Effect): Forced to eat a defective SMILE fruit, Killer was robbed of his ability to show a wide range of emotions. Internally, he retains his sharp, calculating, and loyal self, but outwardly, he is bound by a permanent, forced grin, often crying while being forced to laugh uncontrollably.Surprising Hobbies: Beneath his intimidating helmet, Killer actually enjoys surprisingly domestic and chill hobbies, such as cooking and playing the drums.

He will let you braid his hair.
Kid comes off as a rude, vicious, and bloodthirsty pirate, notorious for causing huge amounts of civilian casualties. Whenever he feels like he is being mocked or insulted, even with just a glance, he is quick to resort to violence.[1] In fact, Kid can be so violent that he considers the choice of not immediately killing someone in his direct vicinity an act of gratitude.[20] He also seems to be cruel even when not provoked, crucifying another defeated pirate crew just because he deemed them too weak to roam around in the New World.[21] Kid is overall highly temperamental and has little patience with anyone getting in his way, although he is capable of restraining his anger in certain situations.[22] Kid can also be very petty, having killed countless civilians for merely mocking or laughing at him for his dream of being the Pirate King, killing several pirates in the New World for being weak, and attempting to kill Shanks' fleet solely to goad the Emperor to fight him.
Kid is bold, cocky, and fearless, known to run into danger regardless of the consequences.[23] This is particularly the case when dealing with people who previously wronged him, at which point Kid will throw all caution to the wind and go straight for revenge.[24] He does not hesitate to challenge even the Four Emperors, having previously fought Kaidou[11] and Shanks[9] and destroyed two ships belonging to Big Mom.[25] Kid rarely backs down from a battle and may fight a powerful enemy until his last breath. The fact that he did not join the Beasts Pirates despite not standing a chance against Kaidou is a testament to Kid's disposition.[12] Kid seems to believe that possessing the determination to achieve the impossible is necessary to survive in the New World, and that anyone who does not is as good as dead.[21]
Kid is very prideful of his reputation and aims to reach a top spot in the world of piracy, which he plans to achieve by beating the Four Emperors, even if it means dying for it.[26] That said, Kid has no interest in utilizing weapons of mass destruction (although he is curious about their existence) or other tools that could help him achieve those goals, instead just preferring to confront them head-on with his own power.[27] Because of this, he dislikes joining forces with others and sharing his targets with them, thinking that they will just interfere in what should be his fight alone.[28] He also hates being the subject of false rumors that paint him in a negative light, being quick to clarify them if he overhears someone talking about him.[9] Because of his pride, Kid is notorious for being unreasonably stubborn, unwilling to back down no matter how impossible the task is. Despite this stubbornness, Kid has shown moments of maturity, willing to put his pride aside to work with his fellow Worst Generation members in overthrowing the Emperors of the Sea.

Kid can be really a bit over the top but he has a fascination with you and making sure no one touches or harms you. He might be a slight brute but he's just confused on his obsession for you. He'll figure it out eventually. He will also pretend to be tough when he first holds you but will start making sure everyone knows you are his.

Eustass Kid would be fiercely loyal, fiercely protective, and highly unromantic in the traditional sense. His dynamic with a partner would be rough-around-the-edges—full of teasing, cocky smirks, and shared ambitions—rather than soft or overtly mushy.A more detailed look into how he would treat his wife includes:Tough-Love and Mutual Respect: Kid wouldn't treat his wife like a damsel in distress. Because he values strength and determination, he’d expect her to hold her own and wouldn't baby her.Public Aloofness, Private Intimacy: He is not the type for grand, public displays of affection. He’d keep the mushy stuff behind closed doors, opting instead for casual roughhousing, light teasing, and an occasional smirk or casual physical touch in front of his crew.Extreme Protectiveness: Despite his aggressive demeanor, anyone who messed with his wife would face his full wrath. He’d be deeply fiercely loyal and would annihilate anyone who dared to threaten his family.Shared Ambition: He would treat his wife as a true equal in the pirate life. Rather than leaving her behind, he’d want her right by his side, celebrating his victories and working toward the top together.
Eustass "Captain" Kid has two official hobbies: collecting weapons and listening to music (specifically functioning as a DJ). These passions perfectly align with his Magnet-Magnet Fruit powers and his aggressive, rebellious personality.Hobbies & InterestsCollecting Weapons: Kid is an avid weapon collector. This hobby ties directly into his Devil Fruit, as he constantly scavenges scrap metal, swords, and firearms from battlefields to build his massive mechanical arms, golems, and railguns.DJing: Officially designated by series creator Eiichiro Oda in the One Piece SBS Q&As, Kid enjoys spinning tracks and acting as a DJ, fitting his punk-rock aesthetic and vibrant crew name, the "Victoria Punk".Personality & TriviaBulls: Oda noted that Kid's animal motif is the bull. This reflects his hot-tempered nature, his charging "Punk Corna Dio" attack, and his tendency to charge headfirst into conflict.Least Favorite Food: Kid strongly dislikes Curry Udon, a hatred stemming from his childhood in the South Blue slums. He and his right-hand man, Killer, laughed at a childhood friend for spilling the dish on her shirt, which resulted in a brutal beating.Favorite Foods: He enjoys cabbage and shrimp in garlic oil.
Heat: The Hot-Headed & Flamboyant ProtectorPersonality: Heat is known for his signature Glasgow smile, shaggy blue hair, and fiery temperament. He is incredibly vocal and fiercely loyal to his boss, Eustass Kid.Reaction to Liking Someone: Heat would be intense, forward, and loud. If someone threatened his crush, he wouldn't hesitate to literally breathe fire to incinerate the threat. He would use his abilities to shield them from the elements, much like he has been known to exhale warm fire to help allies ward off extreme cold.The Catch: He might mask his softer feelings with bravado, teasing the object of his affection while fiercely picking fights with anyone who looks at them the wrong way.⚡
Wire: The Taciturn & Stoic GuardianPersonality: Wire is a tall, stoic trident-wielding gang boss turned pirate. He rarely shows emotion, keeping a deadpan, droopy-eyed expression at all times.Reaction to Liking Someone: While he wouldn't make a grand, loud declaration, Wire would show his affection through quiet, unyielding support. If things get dangerous, you can expect him to place his hulking body directly in the line of fire to protect them. He would also be the one to offer his thick cloak to shield them from the cold or harsh winds.The Catch: His stoic demeanor might make him appear unbothered, but he is fiercely observant and quietly observant of his crush's well-being.
In One Piece, Heat and Wire (Eustass Kid’s loyal crewmates) react to a new person with extreme caution and fierce protectiveness. Because they were once rival gang leaders in the South Blue, they operate under a strict code of trust and view any newcomer as a potential threat to "the boss" (Kid).How They Would React to a New PersonWire (The Silent Enforcer): Wire is taciturn and serious. He would likely stand in the background with his trademark mopish face and arms crossed, sizing the new person up. He relies heavily on intimidation and his spiked gear to keep strangers at a distance.Heat (The Fiery Vanguard): Heat is far more aggressive and vocal. If a stranger approaches, Heat will immediately step in front of Kid and likely breathe a blast of fire (or draw his swords) as a definitive warning.What Happens if the Newcomer is...An Enemy or Spy: They would launch a swift, coordinated, and brutal counterattack. While Kid handles the heavy lifting, Wire would use his trident to trap and slice them, while Heat provides ranged support with his fire breath.A Potential Crewmate: They would remain highly skeptical. The crew was heavily betrayed by Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins, so trust is a major issue for them. The stranger would have to prove absolute loyalty—or be forced into submission—before Heat and Wire let their guard down.
The Kid PiratesAlong with their captain, Heat and Wire form the core of the Kid Pirates, a fearsome crew that originated from a lawless island in the South Blue.Heat: Known for his shaggy light-blue hair, Glasgow-style smile, and ability to breathe fire.Wire: Easily recognized by his long, spiky purple hair and large trident weapon.Other Hobbies in the Worst GenerationWhile Heat and Wire's specific hobbies haven't been officially detailed in author Q&As like the others, Eiichiro Oda revealed the bizarre hobbies of the rest of the Worst Generation in SBS Volume 82:Eustass Kid: Listening to music (likely punk) and collecting weapons.Killer: Playing the drums and cooking.
The Kid Pirates are defined by a punk-rock aesthetic, immense hotheadedness, and fierce inner loyalty, contrasting sharply with the more idealistic Straw Hat Pirates.

He is fiercely intense and entirely dedicated to upholding Kid's fearsome reputation.Wire: A tall, dark-clad member resembling a gargoyle who wields a trident.

Their core dynamics include:The Brains and the Brawn: Killer acts as the buffer between Kid's explosive temper and the outside world. He translates Kid's angry outbursts into actual strategic plans, and Kid genuinely listens to him above all others.Unrivaled Devotion: While other crews break under pressure, the Kid Pirates would gladly die for their captain. When Killer was forced to eat a failed SMILE fruit to save Kid, the entire crew openly wept and adapted to accommodate him.Aggressive External Cruelty vs. Internal Warmth: To outsiders and enemies, they are murderous monsters who leave civilian casualties in their wake. Internally, they share a deep bond rooted in growing up together as orphans in a lawless land.Running GagsRunning GagDescriptionContext / ExampleChildish Rivalry with Luffy & LawKid cannot handle being outshone, leading to stubborn, petty competitions even mid-battle.Refusing to dodge a massive attack from Big Mom simply because Luffy and Law also refused to step out of the way.Killer's Laughing ConditionAfter being forced to eat a SMILE fruit, Killer can only express emotion through a frantic laugh ("Fa-fa-fa").Instead of being dynamic or tragic forever, the crew completely normalized it and laugh right along with him to make him feel comfortable.The "Fa-Fa" Sensitive SpotBefore his SMILE transformation, Killer deeply hated his natural laugh, and would violently beat anyone who mocked it.The crew used to aggressively hunt down anyone who made fun of Killer's laugh.Overestimating Their PowerKid has an unbreakable habit of immediately picking fights with literal Emperors of the Sea with zero preparation.Losing an arm to the Red Hair Pirates, being crushed by Kaido, and immediately challenging Shanks again at Elbaf.
The Kid Pirates from One Piece are led by the ruthless Eustass Kid and his right-hand man, Killer.

They do not follow Kid out of blind awe, but out of shared, hardened resolve against hostile Emperors and the World Government.To better understand their actions in later arcs, here is a quick look at their command structure:MemberRole / PositionCore TraitEustass KidCaptainMagnetic powers, unyielding ambitionKillerCombatant / Vice-CaptainAnalytical, calm counterweightHeatOfficerHot-headed, fire manipulationWireOfficerAggressive spear fighter

This breakdown explores how Eustass "Captain" Kid and Killer from One Piece get flustered and the psychological reasons behind their reactions.Eustass Kid: The Defensive VolcanoKid gets flustered through explosive anger, aggressive denial, and physical blushing that he tries to mask with threats.How he reacts: He yells, bares his teeth, draws his weapon, or violently changes the subject.Why it happens: Kid's identity is built on absolute dominance, pride, and an untamed ego.The triggers: Genuine praise, unexpected affection, or someone pointing out a hidden soft spot makes him feel vulnerable.The psychology: He views vulnerability as a weakness, so his brain instantly converts embarrassment into defensive rage to regain control.Killer: The Composed ShieldKiller gets flustered through sudden silence, nervous physical tics, and awkward, formal deflections.How he reacts: He pulls his helmet down, shifts his weight, crosses his arms tightly, or speaks in an overly robotic, polite tone.Why it happens: Killer is the rational, emotionally intelligent anchor of the Kid Pirates.The triggers: Being teased about his unique laugh (Faffaffasa), receiving direct personal compliments, or witnessing Kid do something incredibly stupid in public.The psychology: He is deeply self-conscious about his laugh due to past trauma, and he prefers to operate strictly as the cool-headed, dependable partner.How They Fluster Each OtherThe dynamic between the two lifelong friends creates unique moments of mutual embarrassment.Kid's trigger: Killer quietly calling him out on his emotional overreactions or acts of hidden kindness.Killer's trigger: Kid loudly defending Killer's laugh or honor to outsiders, which touches Killer but embarrasses him due to the unwanted attention.
Eustass Kid: The Defensive TsundereHow he gets flustered: Kid completely shuts down, gets angry, and tries to deflect with aggression. He will aggressively blush, yell, and stomp away rather than face romantic feelings.Why it happens: Kid is driven by pride, dominance, and ego. Romance requires vulnerability, which makes him feel exposed and out of control. Because he cannot "fight" or intimidate a romantic feeling, the lack of control panics him, turning his confusion into hot-headed anger.Killer: The Polite OverthinkerHow he gets flustered: Killer becomes intensely quiet, stiffens up, and overanalyzes the situation. Unlike Kid, he remains polite but will actively hide his face behind his mask to conceal his blushing.Why it happens: Killer is the rational, observant "mother hen" of the Kid Pirates. He is used to managing chaos, not participating in emotional intimacy. Romance introduces social variables he cannot calculate, making him deeply self-conscious—especially regarding his laugh and his face, which he has hidden for years.The Canonical "First Crush" BackstoryOda revealed a specific childhood backstory that perfectly illustrates their dynamic with romance:The Shared Crush: As kids in the South Blue, both Kid and Killer had a crush on a girl named Victoria Shirahiko.The Incident: One day, while they were eating together, Victoria spilled curry sauce all over herself.The Reaction: Kid and Killer burst out laughing at her mess.The Consequence: Victoria was deeply offended and severely beat both of them up.The Trauma: This shared experience linking romance, rejection, and physical violence turned "romance" into a stressful, confusing concept for both of them, cementing Victoria as a bittersweet memory (they even named their ship the Victoria Punk).
Here is a breakdown of how Eustass Kid and Killer from One Piece handle romance, drawing from their distinct personalities.Eustass KidWhy and How He Gets FlusteredLoss of Control: Kid relies on dominance and power. Romance forces him into an unfamiliar, vulnerable position where he cannot use force to win, causing immediate frustration.Embarrassment as Anger: He masks his confusion with defensive rage. His face flushes red, his veins pop, and he will yell to cover up his racing heartbeat.Pride Damage: He hates looking weak or soft. If someone teases him about his feelings, he will fiercely deny them and stomp away.How He Acts When InterestedPossessive Teasing: Kid shows affection through rough, competitive banter. He will challenge the person to petty competitions just to keep their attention.Aggressive Protection: He becomes hyper-protective. Anyone who disrespects or threatens his interest will face his immediate, terrifying wrath.Awkward Gift-Giving: He will give valuable or strange items (like shiny metal scraps or stolen loot) and demand the person take it without giving an explanation.KillerWhy and How He Gets FlusteredThe Laughing Insecurity: Killer is deeply insecure about his laugh (Faffafa) and keeps his helmet on. Romance requires exposing his true self, which terrifies him.Quiet Overwhelm: Unlike Kid, Killer internalizes his panic. He will freeze up, stutter slightly beneath his mask, or abruptly turn his head away to hide his burning face.Loss of Composure: As the calm tactician of the crew, losing his logical edge around someone makes him incredibly flustered and clumsy with his words.How He Acts When InterestedAttentive Caretaking: Killer expresses love through acts of service. He will quietly cook their favorite meals, brew them tea, or fix their broken belongings.Silent Companionship: He will constantly position himself near the person, acting as a calm, steady shield in dangerous situations.Vulnerability in Private: If he trusts the person completely, he may eventually lift his mask just enough to share a meal or a genuine laugh with them away from the crew's eyes.
In canon, Heat and Wire are fierce, rough combatants from the Kid Pirates with minimal official romance lore. Based on their tough gang-leader pasts and fierce loyalty, fan interpretation imagines how these hardened fighters handle soft emotions.Why and How They Get FlusteredUnfamiliar Territory: They live in a brutal New World pirate environment where vulnerability equals weakness. Genuine softness or sweet compliments catch them completely off guard.Physical Tells: Heat might accidentally spark a small flame or choke on his own fire-breathing trick when stammering. Wire tends to pull his horned hood lower or freeze completely, losing his usual stoic composure.Overcompensation: If teased or praised, they mask their flustered state by suddenly shifting back to a gruff, loud, or overly defensive attitude before walking away to cool off.How They Act If Interested in SomeoneAction Over Words: Neither of them is poetic. Instead of sweet talk, they show interest through heavy-duty protection and practical gifts (like bringing rare loot, weapons, or food).Hovering from a Distance: They watch their crush’s back during brawls, ready to obliterate anyone who glances the wrong way, yet they act awkward or clumsy if forced to make small talk one-on-one.Stubborn Loyalty: They express affection through fierce devotion, matching the intense loyalty the Kid Pirates show their captain—treating their person of interest as an absolute priority.
Heat and Wire are elite officers of the Eustass Kid Pirates. Originating as rival South Blue gang bosses before uniting under Kid, Heat functions as a fire-breathing brawler with stitched-up cheeks, while Wire is a taciturn, horn-hooded brute wielding a trident. Their dynamic is built on absolute, unyielding subordination to their captain.Personalities and DynamicsEx-Gang Rivalry Turned Loyalty: Born in an un-governed South Blue island split into four violent districts, Heat and Wire originally led opposing local delinquent groups. After a tragic local execution, Kid forced an alliance, binding the former rivals into fierce, lifelong loyalty.The "Yes-Men" Enforcers: Unlike Killer—who acts as a rational counterweight and childhood confidant to Kid—Heat and Wire exist as intense, hyper-reactive hype men who treat Kid with fanatical reverence.Contrasting Demeanors: Heat is animated, loud, and expressive, whereas Wire is typically silent, stoic, and droopy-eyed—yet both share matching aesthetic motifs like looped golden belts and barbed wire/netting designs.Running GagsHypocritical Toughness: Heat openly criticizes others for showing weakness—infamously calling Sanji pathetic for crying out during the Onigashima raid. However, when the crew faces total annihilation against Red-Haired Shanks, Heat immediately shatters his own tough-guy persona to tearfully beg for mercy.Shocked Exclamations: Whenever Kid takes unexpected damage (like a Pacifista shot to the leg), both Heat and Wire drop their intimidating composure to shriek "Master Kid!" in comedic, wide-eyed terror.The Silent/Loud Contrast: Gag moments often juxtapose Heat’s frantic, hyperventilating panic with Wire’s permanent, unchanging blank stare, even when reacting to the exact same catastrophic event.

He is known for his brutal temper, violent methods, and powerful magnetic Devil Fruit abilities that let him shape scrap metal into giant mechanical weapons.PersonalityBrutal and Arrogant: Kid has a hot head and zero tolerance for disrespect, famously killing anyone who laughed at his dream of claiming the One Piece.Deep Loyalty: Despite his cruelty toward enemies and civilians, he fiercely cares for his crewmates—especially his right-hand man, Killer.Unyielding Pride: He refuses to bow to authority, showing absolute defiance against the World Government and the Emperors.AbilitiesJiki Jiki no Mi (Magnet-Magnet Fruit): A Paramecia-type power that lets him attract and repel metal.

As such, they are part of the Worst Generation. Like the Straw Hats, this crew had two bounties above Beli100,000,000. Both members had slightly higher bounties than the respective members of the Straw Hat Pirates before the timeskip. Their captain is Eustass Kid.
Following the events on Wano, the crew attempted to attack the Red Hair Pirates on Elbaph. However, in the ensuing battle, their captain was defeated by Shanks, and their ship was decimated at sea with the remaining members on it.[2] The current fate of the crew is unknown.

Advertisement Jolly Roger The Kid Pirates' flag represent the usual grinning skull having Kid's hairstyle and wearing the latter's square shaped goggles on its forehead. In the background there is the traditional cross-bone pattern plus what seems to represent two knives forming a cross as well. Moreover, on each sides of the skull there are flame-like patterns.
Secondary Jolly Roger The Kid Pirates' simpler Jolly Roger. The Kid Pirates' simpler Jolly Roger.
Like the Whitebeard and Big Mom Pirates, the Kid Pirates possess a secondary, simpler symbol, as seen on Wire's outfit. The Jolly Roger features a smiley with a Glasgow smile. The smiley is surrounded by nine, evenly spaced spikes around the circumference. It may also be a reference to Heat, similar to Killer wearing his own personal Jolly Roger.
Crew Members See also the associated category: Kid Pirates. The Kid Pirates consist of 31 members in total, with the identities of 22 being known.[3] The most significant aspect of their appearance is that most, if not all of the Kid Pirates have heavy metalesque appearances. Also, many of them seem to wear leather in one way or another. At the auction house, they stated that they might purchase someone who caught their eye. However, it appears that nobody interested them as they never ended up bidding on anyone.[4]

The Kid Pirates had one known island under their control, which served as their base of operations. At the base of the largest mountain was a castle where Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo formed their alliance. It is unknown what became of the island after the Kid Pirates' defeat.
Crew Strength The Kid Pirates show their might by decimating a rival crew. The Kid Pirates show their might by decimating a rival crew.
They are most known for dealing major destruction and civilian casualties along their route through the Grand Line and towards the New World. Furthermore, the entire crew managed to withstand the blast of Haki released by Silvers Rayleigh,[5] a testament to their overall strength. In spite of their great potency in battle and overall level-mindedness, the members of this crew display an innate sense of haughtiness. They, like the other super rookie crews, were able to escape from Kizaru's raid despite being weakened by a Pacifista.
After the timeskip, it is apparent that their strength and influence have increased, as evidenced by Kid and Killer's bounties being raised and the fact that they were able to establish a base on an island. They had apparently grown in size, as before they were captured by Kaidou, they had a few other ships.[6] The Kid Pirates attempted to form an alliance with the Hawkins and On Air Pirates, however Scratchmen Apoo was actually a member of the Beasts Pirates prior to this alliance, and swiftly sold out Kid and Hawkins to Kaidou, who easily defeated the former and coerced the latter to join him. Due to this betrayal, Kid ceased trying to ally himself with any other crews ever again. However, he did become allies (somewhat reluctantly) with the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates after reuniting with his crew.
By the time of the war on Onigashima, both Kid and Killer grew in strength to the point their Captain defeated Big Mom with Law's assistance, while getting a massive bounty increase for his efforts. Their reputation were so great that Demalo Black and his crew tried to impersonate them.[7]
Ship Further information: Victoria Punk Victoria Punk. Victoria Punk.
The Kid Pirates' flagship is called the Victoria Punk (ヴィクトリアパンク号, Vikutoria Panku-gō?).[8] Their ship continues the theme of heavy metal, with a bizarre skull as part of the deck, resembling some heavy metal bands' stages. Their ship was coated with the Yarukiman resin, allowing it to submerge underwater by reducing its buoyancy, and withstanding the water pressure of 10,000 feet.[9]
The ship was destroyed by Dorry and Brogy's Hakoku.[2]
The Kid Pirates had at least one additional ship that was capsized when Kaidou crash landed in the middle of their base after jumping from a sky island.[6]
Advertisement History Past Kid, Killer, Heat and Wire were gang bosses ruling over an island in the South Blue unaffiliated with the World Government. When Kid and Killer's first crush, Victoria Shiruton Doruyanaika, was murdered by a rival gang Kid unified the four groups to take them down. He then decided to form a pirate crew, as he refused to live in such a narrow world. Their ship was named Victoria Punk, after Victoria.[10] The Kid Pirates were noted to have been responsible for a great deal of damage and had caused many civilian casualties along their journey.[1]
Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc Eventually they reached the Sabaody Archipelago, where they docked and prepared to enter the New World. Subsequently they visited the Human Auction House, where their captain voiced an interest in purchasing a slave, although in the end, they ended up purchasing no one.[4] After Luffy hit Saint Charlos, and the Straw Hats moved into action, they remained at the auction house and witnessed the ensuing chaos. However when Rayleigh appeared, they were subjected to his Haki just like everyone else in the auction room, though every present Kid Pirate easily withstood Rayleigh's Haki.[11] Afterwards, realizing that the Marines were the greatest threat at that time, Kid and the other two captains fought the Marines.[12] Eventually Killer and Heat joined the fray as well, and they soon cut a path through their enemies and managed to escape the Marines.[13] Shortly afterwards they were confronted by a Pacifista which they mistook for Bartholomew Kuma.[14] While struggling to fight it, they once again allied with the Heart Pirates to fight off the Pacifista. The battle was concluded offscreen, but every member survived the fight without any major injury.[15]
Marineford Arc The Kid Pirates having escaped the Marines were able to stay on the Archipelago a bit longer and were able to watch the Summit War of Marineford, where they witnessed, at a distance, the death of Whitebeard and how Luffy partook the war. They eventually moved onto the New World, where they brutally crucified Haritsu Kendiyo and his crew.[16][17][18]
During the Timeskip During the timeskip, the Kid Pirates continued to rise in infamy, as evidenced by Kid and Killer's bounties increasing.[19][20]
Kid also lost his left arm in a battle with the Red Hair Pirates first mate Benn Beckman.[21][22] He later replaced this arm with a large metal one.
At some point after this, the Kid Pirates went to Big Mom's territory and injured Charlotte Snack, one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, as well as plundering a copy of her Road Poneglyph.[23][21][24] However, they were quickly forced to flee afterwards.[25]
In addition, the crew became powerful enough to establish their own base on an island. They also appear well connected, as they are well aware of dealings within the Underworld.
A few days before the Straw Hats arrived at Fish-Man Island, Kid sank two ships of Big Mom's Fleet, causing enough damage that the Big Mom Pirates needed a large sum of cash as quickly as possible to recover.[26]
Advertisement Dressrosa Saga Punk Hazard Arc The Kid Pirates met with the Hawkins and On Air Pirates in their own hideout, though the alliance nearly broke apart due to Kid and Apoo getting into a fight because of a lingering grudge. However, Killer managed to calm things down and remind the various parties of their alliance. The captains agree to the alliance, and the three crews start plans to take down an Emperor.[27]
Dressrosa Arc After reading the news about Doflamingo's defeat, Kid and Killer dined with Hawkins and Apoo. They learned that Luffy and Law's target is Kaidou and were glad as their intended target is Shanks. Some time later, they were alerted by what seemed to be an earthquake.[28] They quickly investigated the source of the commotion, which was a large crater on the ground in the shape of a human. The alliance then came face-to-face with the Emperor Kaidou.[29]
Whole Cake Island Saga Zou Arc After the encounter with Kaidou, the crew was separated.[30] Kid was defeated and placed in a cell by Kaidou in Onigashima.[31]
Wano Country Saga
The following events are non-canon, and therefore not considered part of the canon story.
One Piece: Stampede The Kid Pirates were present during the Pirates Festival. Along with other competing pirate crews, they rode a Knock Up Stream in order to try and get the Pirate King's treasure, that being an eternal pose to Laugh Tale. When Douglas Bullet made his appearance, their captain joined the other Supernovas in battle against him but was soundly defeated. They later successfully escaped from the Marines thanks to the Revolutionary Army.[32]
Concludes non-canon section.
Advertisement Wano Country Arc Kid was later imprisoned in the Udon region of Wano Country where he met Luffy again when he was placed in a cell next to his. Killer was forced to eat a failed SMILE and later became known as the assassin "Kamazo". According to a Wano newspaper, he was responsible for a street murder on the eighth street in District 2 of the Flower Capital.[33]
After the chaos at the palace, Kamazo was hired by Kurozumi Orochi to kill the kamuro Toko. He then pursued Toko and Kouzuki Hiyori to the Ringo region, where he came across a confrontation between Roronoa Zoro and Gyukimaru. Zoro then clashed with Killer in order to protect Toko and Hiyori. When Zoro was distracted by Gyukimaru, Killer manages to land a grievous hit on him. However, Zoro was able to take one of his scythes as a result and strike him.[34] After that blow, Killer fell to the ground defeated.[35]
Later on, for failing to kill Toko, he was sent to the Prisoner Mine at Udon alongside Kid, who previously escaped and got recaptured. Kid questioned him on what Kaidou had done to him and the fate of their crew, but Kamazo could not answer through his laughter and tears. Both were then sentenced by Queen to undergo water torture.[36] However, they were freed when Big Mom went on a rampage. Kid and Killer left Udon and planned to find their other crewmates.[37]
Before the Fire Festival, Kid managed to find and retrieve his crew. They later joined the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance in their raid on Onigashima.[38] Though they disguised themselves thanks to Kin'emon's ability after arriving at the island, Kid soon got into a brief scuffle with Apoo, exposing himself and Killer. In the ensuing chaos, Kid and Killer got separated from the rest of their crew while fighting several Gifters in Kaidou's castle.[39]
As the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance began their all-out war on the Beasts Pirates, Kid and Killer were aided by some of the rebels.[40] In preparation for the fight with Kaidou, Kid began using his magnetic powers to collect all the loose metallic objects on his way to the roof. As Kid and Killer reached the third level of the castle, the pile of metal had grown to fill the whole corridor.[41]
Kid and the other Supernovas confront Kaidou and Big Mom. Kid and the other Supernovas confront Kaidou and Big Mom.
The two later reached the roof, where they were soon joined by Law, Zoro, and Luffy as they prepared to fight against Kaidou and Big Mom.[42] Kid was briefly surprised when he saw Luffy hurt Kaidou. After Law sent the Red Scabbards and Izou to safety, Kid scoffed at the Surgeon of Death for being subservient to Luffy (since Law only acted after Luffy had asked) though Law insisted that he planned to help them either way. When Luffy challenged Kid and Law to a game of chicken in the face of Big Mom's attack, the two initially refused. However, following a small taunt from the Straw Hat captain, the two took up his challenge, with all of them ending up taking the full brunt of the attack. They quickly recovered, and the five members of the Worst Generation took a strike at Kaidou. However, Kaidou transformed into his dragon form and joined Big Mom in the sky, preparing to battle.[43]
Kaidou used a roar to unleash wind blades at his opponents. Kid's metal golem armor was struck but Kid remained unharmed. With his metal armor, Kid grabbed Kaidou and slammed him into the roof. Later, Big Mom unleashed a lightning storm at the five Supernovas. Kid managed to block some of her thunderbolts but was caught off guard by a lightning homie.[44] After Luffy had pummeled Kaidou with Gomu Gomu no Kong Gatling, Kid and Killer tried to continue on the offensive, but Kaidou stopped them by creating some twisters. Zoro managed to slice through Kaidou's scales, but Kaidou responded by launching wind blades at the five Supernovas.[45]
Kid and Law work together to remove Big Mom from the battlefield. Kid and Law work together to remove Big Mom from the battlefield.
Kid and the other Supernovas eventually agreed that they had to split up Big Mom and Kaidou somehow, otherwise they had no chance of winning.[46] After surviving a combined attack from both Emperors thanks to Zoro's effort, Kid and Law elaborated a plan to separate Big Mom's special homies from her person. Kid used his powers to form a metal box so Law could teleport Zeus inside, while Zoro and Killer dealt with Prometheus and Napoleon respectively. Once Big Mom was fully disarmed, Kid shot metal spears at Big Mom, but was punched down into the ground by the Emperor in return. He, however, took the opportunity to grip Big Mom's arm with his own prosthetic arm, allowing him to Repel her up in the sky, from where Law managed to hit her with a boulder, throwing her off Onigashima.[47]
Once Prometheus and Napoleon left Onigashima to rescue Big Mom, Kid and Killer followed them to the edge of the island. There, Kid noticed something strange happening to the clouds in the sky.[48] It turned out to be Big Mom creating a new homie, Hera, whose power she tested out on Kid and Killer as she headed back to Onigashima on Prometheus. Kid and Killer tried to avoid the way of Big Mom's Fulgora attack but were hit and sent flying back inside the Skull Dome, on the third floor of Kaidou's Castle. Kid and Killer survived with few injuries and noticed that Big Mom was searching for them somewhere in the floor below. Kid ran off after her, but was stopped by Hawkins, his former ally and whom Kid considered a traitor. Killer told Kid to keep going while he stayed behind to keep Hawkins busy, which Kid complied.
Once Kid reached the second floor, he noticed some of Kaidou's grunts alerting each other about Big Mom's location and headed towards the ruckus.[49] Kid eventually found Big Mom as she was about to strike down Nami, Usopp and Tama, using his Punk Gibson technique to block Big Mom's sword and then slam her down to the floor. Kid told the Straw Hats to leave Big Mom to him, as the latter recovered herself from the attack.
Shortly afterwards, Law made his way to the site of Kid's fight with Big Mom and proposed a temporary alliance with Kid to hold the Emperor back together.[50] During the fight, Kid struggled to stay on his feet due to mysterious injuries that kept springing up on his body. Unknown to Kid, these injuries were from Killer's attacks on Hawkins, who had linked himself with Kid.[51] They were then surprised by the sudden interruption of Luffy riding a huge pink dragon on his way back to the rooftop.[52] Later, Kid reacted to Luffy's broadcasted declaration to defeat Kaidou.[53] As the fight continued, Kid's pain reappeared, so Big Mom used Hera on Napoleon and was about to attack him, but Law defended Kid. However, the flames of Prometheus hit Law, who fell to the ground. Big Mom attacked the two pirates, injuring them further. Kid was perplexed by what was happening to him and disappointed that he might die pointlessly after finally reaching an Emperor. Once Killer severed Hawkins' link with Kid and defeated the Shinuchi, Kid quickly recovered and continued fighting Big Mom.[54]
Not finding any progress in causing major damage to Big Mom, Kid convinced Law to try utilizing their awakenings in order to change the tide of the fight. Kid was caught by a lightning blast from Big Mom that sent him back to the Live Floor in a freefall, with the Emperor following after Kid in order to finish him off in midair. Law, however, took the opportunity to activate his awakening and strike Big Mom from behind with Shock Wille, significantly injuring and distracting her long enough for Kid to initiate his own awakening and use Punk Clash to bury the Emperor underneath a multitude of steel beams ripped out from the framework of Kaidou's Castle.[55] This was, however, not sufficient to finish Big Mom off. Now truly angered, the Emperor stole the souls of several of Kaidou's minions in the Live Floor to power up her own special Homies and create new ones from the steel beams that previously crushed her. Having acknowledged Kid and Law's power, Big Mom sacrificed one year from her own lifespan in order to grow in size and power, all while daring the Worst Generation pirates to try and take her down. Not intimidated by Big Mom's new form, Kid declared that he would take the Emperor down no matter the cost.[56]
Soon thereafter, Big Mom once again regained the upper hand, beating them up while mocking them about their crew's pleas to spare their lives. After Big Mom had punished their crews for pleading to her, she started to make her move towards the roof, viewing their fight as over. This would, however, give Law an advantage, as he was not defeated yet and exploited her ascension towards the roof, coating Kikoku with K-Room and stabbing her from right arm up to her face. He then unleashed Shock Wille onto her again, noticing she could not have been unharmed by this attack before. Right before he was about to be attacked by her newly created steel homies, they were attached towards Kid, who also rose up. After assimilating both the homies and surrounding metal, he confidently told Big Mom that nothing was impervious to damage before charging at Big Mom with Punk Corna Dio, ramming her into a wall. Both then once again assured Big Mom that they would not let her reach the roof, even if they died in the battle.[57]
Law told Kid to prepare himself as the former would spend his last remaining stamina in a final attack. Kid took the opportunity to attack Big Mom once more, sticking her to one of the Live Floor's towers through his awakening. Big Mom, however, countered his maneuver and summoned a new homie, Misery, to burn Kid down. Kid was able to able to survive the attack and observed as Law pulled his final move. Taking advantage of the hole Law had produced with his awakening, Kid created an enormous railgun and fired a powerful projectile directly on Big Mom's stomach.
However, this was not enough to finish off Big Mom, who activated her Soul Pocus in order to steal the souls of Kid and Law's crewmates. The technique, however, ended up being ineffective on both captains, who held no fear towards the Emperor. They then proceeded to silence and launch Big Mom out of Onigashima and directly into the crater Law had formed beforehand. With Big Mom falling victim to an explosion down below due to an explosive she accidentally detonated, a massively spent Kid and Law were heavily celebrated by their crews for the win.
With only Luffy's fight left to finish, Kid waited for the battle to conclude, considering the possibility of Kaidou emerging as the winner. Once Kaidou descended from the rooftop and announced his victory over the Straw Hat captain, Kid lamented the outcome, but also declared that he would not go down without a fight as he prepared himself for combat once more. He was targeted by Kaidou's forces, but his crew protected him.
Later Kid and Killer rejoiced when Kaidou's defeat was finally confirmed.[58] One week later, Kid and his crew oversaw the repairs of the Victoria Punk, Thousand Sunny and Polar Tang alongside Usopp, Franky and the Heart Pirates at Tokage Port. Apoo then arrived with a newspaper showing Kid's new Beli3,000,000,000 bounty as well as the new members of the Four Emperors. Angry about the contents of the paper, Kid rushed to the Flower Capital to confront Luffy about the news but ended up forced into taking part in the festival's fireworks showcase against his will.[59]

A few days later, while their crews were loading up cargo at Tokage Port, Kid, Luffy and Law tried to decide between themselves new routes for each of them to follow, with Kid eventually setting for the easternmost path after beating Luffy at straws. Kid also ended up receiving a rubbing of Wano's Road Poneglyph from Law for his decisive role in the raid.With his crew ready to set sail, the Kid Pirates departed from Wano.[60]

Following the sea route their captain chose back at Wano, the Kid Pirates eventually reached their next destination, Elbaph.[61] Shortly after their arrival, they encountered the Giant Warrior Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, and the captains allied with Red Hair Pirates, thus prompting the crew to prepare for battle.[62] After Kid attempted to annihilate the attacking ships, Shanks himself abruptly appeared, quickly defeating Kid and Killer in a single attack while knocking out several members with Supreme King Haki. The remaining pirates begged for mercy and offered up their Road Poneglyph rubbings, however Dorry and Brogy then split the Victoria Punk in half, sinking the Kid Pirates.[2] News of their defeat seems to have leaked outside of Elbaph,[63] as the Fake Straw Hat Crew were seen impersonating the Kid Pirates in a G-4 prison cell.[7]

These passions perfectly align with his Magnet-Magnet Fruit powers and his aggressive, rebellious personality.Hobbies & InterestsCollecting Weapons: Kid is an avid weapon collector. This hobby ties directly into his Devil Fruit, as he constantly scavenges scrap metal, swords, and firearms from battlefields to build his massive mechanical arms, golems, and railguns.DJing: Officially designated by series creator Eiichiro Oda in the One Piece SBS Q&As, Kid enjoys spinning tracks and acting as a DJ, fitting his punk-rock aesthetic and vibrant crew name, the "Victoria Punk".Personality & TriviaBulls: Oda noted that Kid's animal motif is the bull.

Eustass Kid from One Piece is a harsh, violent, and prideful captain, but his core personality reveals an extreme, blazing devotion. If he cared for a lover, he would not handle it softly; he would possess a fierce, destructive loyalty, willing to burn down the entire world for them.The Nature of Kid's DevotionTotal Intensity: Kid does not do things by halves. His emotions are explosive, matching his Devil Fruit powers.Vengeful Protection: Fan and community consensus on platforms like Tumblr highlights that if anyone dared harm his partner, Kid wouldn't just internalize the grief—he would hunt down and obliterate the threat with absolute wrath.Historical Proof: He literally named his flagship, the Victoria Punk, in honor of his first childhood attachment, proving that deep down, his scars and loyalty run permanently.How He Acts Around Loved OnesDenial and Frustration: He hates being vulnerable. Realizing he has fallen for someone would initially anger him because it distracts from his goal of becoming the Pirate King.Rough Affection: He is short-tempered and loud. He would express care through rough banter, glaring protectively, and keeping them close rather than speaking in sweet poetry.Unwavering Trust: Just like his fierce bond with Killer, he expects strength, but he offers absolute, unshakeable backing in return.

Eustass Kid would react with a volatile mix of seething jealousy, explosive possessiveness, and instant hostility. Known for his aggressive, no-nonsense personality, he wouldn't let a random flirt slide. Instead, he would immediately step in, assert his dominance, and make it painfully clear that his partner is strictly off-limits.His reaction would unfold in three distinct stages:The Intimidation (The Warning Glare): Kid's short fuse is notorious in the One Piece universe. If someone flirts with his partner, his first instinct is usually a piercing, murderous glare. Even if he doesn't immediately draw his weapons, he will channel his intimidating presence—and likely his Conqueror's Haki—to make the offending stranger back off instantly.The Claim: Kid has a fiercely possessive streak. He will quickly close the distance between you and the stranger, wrapping a heavy arm around your waist or pulling you flush against his chest. He won't just stare; he'll use his towering, heavily built frame to form a physical barrier, treating the stranger as an annoyance he can swat away.The "Boss" Flex: Depending on where you are, he'll loudly and sarcastically mock the stranger, making sure the flirt knows they are severely out of their league. Any arrogant flirting directed at his partner will be met with his trademark harsh, mocking laughter.Behind closed doors, however, his reaction shifts drastically. While he puts on a tough front to the world, his pride means he can get surprisingly bashful and easily flustered when he has you all to himself. He might grumble or act overly bossy to cover up his embarrassment, but he will quietly make sure you reaffirm your commitment to him.

Kid comes off as a rude, vicious, and bloodthirsty pirate, notorious for causing huge amounts of civilian casualties. Whenever he feels like he is being mocked or insulted, even with just a glance, he is quick to resort to violence.[1] In fact, Kid can be so violent that he considers the choice of not immediately killing someone in his direct vicinity an act of gratitude.[20] He also seems to be cruel even when not provoked, crucifying another defeated pirate crew just because he deemed them too weak to roam around in the New World.[21] Kid is overall highly temperamental and has little patience with anyone getting in his way, although he is capable of restraining his anger in certain situations.[22] Kid can also be very petty, having killed countless civilians for merely mocking or laughing at him for his dream of being the Pirate King, killing several pirates in the New World for being weak, and attempting to kill Shanks' fleet solely to goad the Emperor to fight him.
Kid is bold, cocky, and fearless, known to run into danger regardless of the consequences.[23] This is particularly the case when dealing with people who previously wronged him, at which point Kid will throw all caution to the wind and go straight for revenge.[24] He does not hesitate to challenge even the Four Emperors, having previously fought Kaidou[11] and Shanks[9] and destroyed two ships belonging to Big Mom.[25] Kid rarely backs down from a battle and may fight a powerful enemy until his last breath. The fact that he did not join the Beasts Pirates despite not standing a chance against Kaidou is a testament to Kid's disposition.[12] Kid seems to believe that possessing the determination to achieve the impossible is necessary to survive in the New World, and that anyone who does not is as good as dead.[21]
Kid is very prideful of his reputation and aims to reach a top spot in the world of piracy, which he plans to achieve by beating the Four Emperors, even if it means dying for it.[26] That said, Kid has no interest in utilizing weapons of mass destruction (although he is curious about their existence) or other tools that could help him achieve those goals, instead just preferring to confront them head-on with his own power.[27] Because of this, he dislikes joining forces with others and sharing his targets with them, thinking that they will just interfere in what should be his fight alone.[28] He also hates being the subject of false rumors that paint him in a negative light, being quick to clarify them if he overhears someone talking about him.[9] Because of his pride, Kid is notorious for being unreasonably stubborn, unwilling to back down no matter how impossible the task is. Despite this stubbornness, Kid has shown moments of maturity, willing to put his pride aside to work with his fellow Worst Generation members in overthrowing the Emperors of the Sea.
Kid can be really a bit over the top but he has a fascination with you and making sure no one touches or harms you. He might be a slight brute but he's just confused on his obsession for you. He'll figure it out eventually. He will also pretend to be tough when he first holds you but will start making sure everyone knows you are his. Eustass "Captain" Kid is a ruthless, fiercely proud, and ambitious pirate. Known for his extreme short temper and violent cruelty, he notably contrasts with Luffy by relentlessly attacking anyone who dares mock his dream of becoming the Pirate King.His personality is defined by several distinct traits:Ruthless & Unforgiving: Kid is notoriously violent and intolerant of weakness. In the ruthless New World, he is known for crucifying other pirate crews just because they were too weak to survive there.Fierce Pride & Ambition: He has an ironclad will and refuses to back down or submit to anyone. He shares a common goal with Luffy of reaching the top, but where Luffy smiles at insults, Kid responds with explosive rage.Deep Loyalty to Crew: Despite his villainous tendencies toward rivals and civilians, he is deeply protective of his first mate, Killer, and the rest of his crew. He strongly despises betrayal or dishonorable tactics.Fearless but Reckless: Driven by a "kill-or-be-killed" mindset, he has no hesitation challenging the most dangerous figures in the world, including Emperors like Big Mom, Kaido, and Shanks.
Eustass "Captain" Kid[7] is a notorious pirate from the South Blue and the captain of the Kid Pirates.[1] He is one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation".[8]
Kid first appeared at the Sabaody Archipelago at the same time Monkey D. Luffy and his crew arrived. Both were described as members of the "Eleven Supernovas", pirates who had congregated on the island who all had a bounty of more than Beli100,000,000. After briefly fighting alongside Luffy while escaping an attack by the Marines, he fled the archipelago and would later spectate the Summit War of Marineford alongside the other Supernovas.
During Luffy's two years of training, Kid challenged one of the Four Emperors, Shanks, but lost one of his arms to Benn Beckman in the process.[9] He attempted to form an alliance with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates to challenge the Red Hair Pirates once more, but the alliance fell apart after an attack from another Emperor, Kaidou,[10][11][12] which led to his imprisonment at Wano Country where he would eventually reunite with Luffy. Though nominally acting in self-interest towards vengeance and glory, Kid's assistance towards the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance was instrumental in defeating Kaidou, Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates.
After leaving Wano, Kid and his crew arrived at Elbaph and decided to challenge Shanks once more. However, the entire crew and their ship were decimated by Shanks and his allies, Dorry and Brogy.[13]
Kid was originally introduced with a bounty of Beli315,000,000, largely due to a high number of civilian casualties caused by him and his crew, thus exceeding Luffy's when they first arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.[14] Sometime during the timeskip, his bounty was raised from 315,000,000 to Beli470,000,000.[6] Kid's bounty was eventually raised to Beli3,000,000,000 for his role in defeating Big Mom of the Four Emperors alongside Trafalgar Law during the Raid on Onigashima.
Due to his actions, Kid can be considered a minor ally during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc as well as a major ally during the Wano Country Arc.

Advertisement Appearance Kid is a tall, muscular man with light skin and short, spiky, bright red hair, resembling flames. His nose has a particular shape, being quite pointed and having little protrusions on both sides. He has dark reddish, purple-colored lips, orange eyes (red in the manga), no eyebrows, and his fingernails are painted black.
He dresses in an extravagant attire consisting of black and yellow lizard-print pants with a red fringe, motorcycle boots, and a blue sash under a green belt fastened by a large circular buckle with a four-leaf clover-like pattern in the middle. He also has a slim bandolier, also with minuscule bolts that go diagonally over his right shoulder and then tie to his waist, where he keeps a dagger with a Japanese-style hilt and what appears to be a flintlock gun. He also has gold bangles around both wrists.
He wears a pair of studded, square-shaped yellow goggles with purple lenses on his forehead and a large fur captain's coat over his bare muscular torso. The dark brown coat is adorned with spikes on its shoulders lined in maroon. The collar of the coat is extremely flared and wide. He typically wears this coat with his right arm in its sleeve and his left arm under the coat itself.[1]
In SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Kid is shown with spikier and more spread-out hair, similar to a lion's mane. He also wore larger and rounder goggles and did not have dark lips. He was depicted tinkering with a toy robot with a wrench. His blue sleeveless shirt, like his yellow striped pants, has a sewn patch.[15]
After the timeskip, he is shown with slightly longer hair that appears to be pushed back. He also has a large scar that drags from the left side of his forehead and goes down his neck and another smaller one that goes through his left eye. There are two parallel scars on his lower right arm and another big one on his stomach. He lost his left arm to just above the elbow during the two-year timeskip in a battle against the Red Hair Pirates, first mate, Benn Beckman,[9][16] and until his imprisonment by the Beasts Pirates, he replaced it with a mechanical one that is somehow connected to his nervous system, shown by the presence of several metallic wires embedded directly into his skin. The mechanical arm was damaged in his fight against Kaidou and later stripped from him to disarm him and put him at a further disadvantage if he rebelled against his captor. His attire consists of his trademark spotted pants and a black open vest, held down by a belted war kilt. He also has a long dark red coat, worn over his shoulders. He appears to have become more muscular and also has scars on his right forearm, left pectoral, and on the left side of his abdomen. He no longer wears any impractical jewelry.[6]
During the Raid on Onigashima, he assembled a new mechanical arm.[17] It was later temporarily severed due to Hawkins' damage transfer,[18] but was ultimately repaired.[19]

Despite this stubbornness, Kid has shown moments of maturity, willing to put his pride aside to work with his fellow Worst Generation members in overthrowing the Emperors of the Sea.
Kid is shown to be quite cynical about the World Government. He is not blind to the way the World Nobles act, remarking that, compared to them, pirates are almost humane in nature and honest about their faults, unlike the Nobles that justify their abuses of power through ancestry.[22] After Camie had been sold in the Human Auctioning House to Rosward Charlos, Kid declared that the whole affair was a "farce"[29] and similarly held a similar point of view regarding the broadcast of the Summit War of Marineford, calling it a "charade".[30] For this reason, he felt amusement and catharsis when Charlos was punched down by an irate Luffy.[31]
“ You know… On our journey up to this point, we've been laughed at and ridiculed whenever we mentioned getting our hands on the One Piece. And each time that happened, I slaughtered everyone who laughed. But what lies ahead is a sea of death for those who don't got the guts to mention it. Let's meet again in the New World! ” — Kid[32]
Kid and Luffy display many similarities in terms of attitude. Kid and Luffy display many similarities in terms of attitude.
Kid has the same dream as Luffy: to find One Piece and become the new Pirate King. Because of this and Luffy's recklessness, he seems to have a great deal of respect for him even if he sometimes has trouble admitting it. However, while both captains often encounter similar problems and obstacles in their paths, Kid prefers to deal with them in his own bloody manner by apparently slaughtering anyone and everyone who ever dared to laugh at his ambition, making him an antithesis to Luffy, who otherwise does not care about what others think of his dreams.[32][14] Surprisingly, belying his rough attitude, Kid can be childishly competitive and will mock his rivals any chance he gets, especially when Luffy and Law are involved.
Another similarity Kid has to Luffy is a strong degree of affection for his crewmates. Kid will recklessly defend or rescue his subordinates if they are mocked or in danger. His concern for his longtime friend and right-hand man Killer having eaten a SMILE was enough that Kid did not care whatsoever about being captured a second time just a few days after managing to escape his captors.[33] Kid is also rather gluttonous, not minding hard labor as long as he gets access to large amounts of food.[34]
Unlike Luffy, however, Kid is rather unfriendly and mistrusting of others, rarely leaving his guard down and warning his subordinates to follow suit. The failure of his alliance with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates, which happened due to the betrayal of Scratchmen Apoo, seems to have reinforced this mindset, as he initially turned down an offer from Luffy to team up with the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance.[20] Kid would eventually change his mind but still acted as a reluctant ally for the most part, only joining forces with Luffy for the sake of their rivalry. However, Kid shows no concern towards his allies or their deaths so long as he gets what he wants. This turns out to be a flaw of Kid, as during his rematch against Shanks and his fleet, Kid approached his fleet without any allies around to help him, and it cost him and his crew their ship and their Road Ponyglyph rubbings because of his pride.
Advertisement Relationships Crew Kid seems to have a good relationship with his crewmembers that have been revealed. Killer keeps his captain calm when he gets angered. Wire and Heat hold high respect and concern for their captain. According to Basil Hawkins, Kid's crew was forced to work under the Kurozumi Family and the Beasts Pirates, with the life of their captain being used as a bargaining chip.[12]
After becoming Kaidou's prisoner, Kid was noticeably worried about what had happened to his crew and tried looking for them around the first time he escaped from the Prisoner Mine at Udon.[33] Once he was freed for the second time thanks to Luffy's efforts, he still prioritized finding the rest of his crewmates and stated that he would only trust them from now on, as a result of Apoo and Hawkins' betrayal.
During the raid on Onigashima, Kid's crew valiantly attempted to stand against Big Mom when the latter had seemingly managed to knock out their captain, although Kid eventually managed to recover and counterattack, to their delight. They also tearfully celebrated their boss's win against Big Mom and kept loyally protecting him even when it seemed like Kaidou had gained the upper hand over the alliance.
Killer Both Kid and Killer grew up together, so they share a close bond that goes back to childhood.[35] Kid refers to Killer as his partner and is aware that the latter is sensitive about his own strange laugh, which is why, despite being unaware about Killer having eaten a defective SMILE, he knew something was wrong with his subordinate. This was enough for Kid to attempt a reckless rescue of his friend, which led to his second capture from the Beasts Pirates after managing to escape the first time.[33]
Killer has displayed immense loyalty for Kid multiple times; it was due to Kid's life being in danger that Killer ate a defective SMILE fruit and became a subordinate of Kurozumi Orochi, showcasing extreme loyalty for Kid.[36] Another notable instance of this happened during the war against the Beasts Pirates at Onigashima, when Hawkins managed to link his life to Kid's, which forced Killer on the defensive so he would not accidentally kill his captain, even begging Hawkins to take his life instead as long as he left Kid's alone.
Killer usually acts as the voice of reason for his captain, making sure Kid stays focused and does not lose sight of his goals due to impulsiveness.[10] Killer also provides Kid with useful information whenever the latter displays curiosity in a certain topic.[21]

Kid sees Luffy as a prominent rival for the mantle of the next Pirate King, once declaring that they would become enemies in the New World.[32] After the Whitebeard War, he stated that he was not generous enough to let Luffy run around as he pleased, showing intent to compete with him for notoriety and not get left behind. Regardless, Luffy has earned Kid's interest with his actions against the World Government prior to their first meeting, with Kid coming to respect Luffy for assaulting a World Noble and being the only Supernova to join the war, which he admitted was enough to put Luffy at the forefront of the other super rookies. After the timeskip, he expressed amusement when watching Luffy's capture on Punk Hazard and, later, demonstrated great curiosity about the Luffy-Law alliance and their goals.[6]
Kid and Luffy team up against Dobon. Kid and Luffy team up against Dobon.
After meeting again in a prison in Wano Country, Kid and Luffy became competitive with each other and would argue about who had done more slave work. Despite this rivalry, they cooperated to defeat the deputy warden Dobon after he had confronted and tried to punish them for taking most of the prison's rations.[34] Luffy also showed some concern for Kid when Queen threatened to drown him. After he had been freed, Luffy offered an alliance to take down Kaidou, but Kid initially rejected the offer, as he still felt bitter about being betrayed during his previous alliance with Apoo and Hawkins. However, he joined Luffy and Law in the battle against the Beasts Pirates, not wanting Luffy to get all the glory in defeating Kaidou. Afterwards, despite his bounty increase, Kid's rivalry and general resentment with Luffy remained strong, with him angrily threatening Luffy with death for the latter's new spot in the Four Emperors.[38] When leaving Wano, Kid provoked Luffy into racing him down at the waterfall.
Despite frequent denials about viewing Luffy as an ally,[39] Kid seemingly trusts the Straw Hat captain's strength. While battling Big Mom by his lone self, Kid was visibly pleased upon learning that Luffy, even while knocked out, would not give up until he won against Kaidou, in spite of previous announcements that claimed he had died in combat against the Emperor. Kid did appear to lose hope briefly when Luffy's death was claimed a second time and Kaidou descended upon him and the rest of the alliance but was resolute to keep fighting until the end anyway.
Kid calls Luffy "stupid monkey," while Luffy calls Kid "Jaggy" (ギザ男, Giza-o?).
Advertisement Trafalgar D. Water Law “ ...I've heard rumors about him, and they weren't pleasant. His manners aren't too good either... ” — Kid about Law.[40]
In the manga, Law gave Kid the finger when he (presumably) overheard Kid talking behind his back regarding rumors of how Law's manners appear to be rather lacking.[22] Later on, when Kid volunteered to deal with the Marines amassing outside of the Auctioning House as a farewell gift to the Straw Hats and the Heart Pirates, both Law and Luffy took Kid's cockiness as an insult and opted to follow him outside in order to compete with the fellow super rookie. When Kid insisted that he alone would be sufficient enough for the task and ordered the other two to step down, Law was the first to retaliate by threatening Kid should the latter attempt to order him around. Nevertheless, Law sided once again with Kid after the two crews had been confronted by a Pacifista.
Kid seems to have retained an interest in Law in the New World and was pleased to see that the surgeon was planning something instead of acting like a "Government Dog," further confirmed by his major interest in the Luffy-Law alliance. Later on, he teamed up with Law during the Fire Festival, though they were still prone to arguing with each other.[41] Kid seems to like mocking Law for his alliance with Luffy, especially since Law often follows Luffy's words.[42] That said, he is annoyed when Law attempts to do the same to him by telling him what to do.
During the events of the Wano Country Arc, they teamed up together once more during the fight against Kaidou and Big Mom, even forming a brief alliance to take down the latter by herself. Despite Kid's protests about Law seemingly getting in his way and their general bickering over trivial things, he was able to work alongside the Surgeon of Death to defeat the Emperor. After Kaidou and Big Mom's downfalls, Law gives Kid another copy of the Road Poneglyph for helping him and Luffy to defeat Kaidou and Big Mom. While leaving Wano, Kid provoked Law into racing down at the waterfall.
Enemies World Government “ World Nobles... Slaves... Human shops... Against the "purity" of these "upper classes", the villains of the world look positively humane in comparison. It's because the world's in the hands of scum like them that it's all screwed to hell... I mean, we're not the nicest of guys, but at least we're honest about it. ” — Kid, commenting on the World Nobles.[43]

As a pirate with a tremendously high bounty, Kid is a major enemy of the Marines. Before the timeskip, his strict behavior against innocent civilians earned him a high bounty, enough to topple Luffy's, who had taken down key assets of the World Government beforehand.[14] He, along with Trafalgar Law and Monkey D. Luffy, fought against many marine units at the Sabaody Archipelago, with their combined being acknowledged by many of the infantrymen there.
Kid also despises the World Nobles and their actions, finding the notion that they can just own whoever they wanted due to their untouchable status as "farce". Apparently, Kid became a pirate himself with the intent of rebelling against what he considered the "scum" who ruled the world.[3] Luffy showing up and punching Charlos in the face at the Human Auctioning House was met with much amusement from his part for that reason.
Advertisement Four Emperors According to Killer and Hawkins, Kid aims to hunt down the Four Emperors.[26] Kid has confronted many of them during his career, with varying degrees of success. After the events of the raid on Onigashima, Kid seemingly expected to become an Emperor himself, and was furious to find out he had been snubbed of the position despite his role in taking down Big Mom, overlooking the fact he needed Laws assistance to win.[5]
Shanks No direct interaction has been shown between the two, but Kid formed an alliance with fellow captains Basil Hawkins and Scratchmen Apoo to overthrow the Emperor, Red-Haired Shanks. Kid also confirmed that he had lost his arm in an encounter with the Red Hair Pirates.[9][16]
When Kid was later confronted into a battle with Shanks on Elbaph, he was excited at the possibility of battling Shanks for revenge for his prior loss despite the high probability of dying in the process, not showing any fear of losing.[44] When he is forced to face off against Shanks' subordinate crew, Kid tries to destroy them all with his railgun, but he is instantly defeated by Shanks himself, who foresaw how catastrophic Kid's attack would be. Afterwards, Shanks' friends Dorry and Brogy destroyed his ship, knocking him and his entire crew into the sea and took his Poneglyph rubbings for himself.[13]
Charlotte Linlin “ You think the last gasps... of an old windbag scares me?! ” — Kid to Big Mom when he is immune to Soul Pocus.[45]
During the timeskip, Kid invaded Totto Land and injured one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders before stealing a Poneglyph rubbing from the Emperor. He later sank two of the Emperor's ships while having no concern if she retaliated. Despite this hostility, Kid stated to Caribou that he had no interest in going after Big Mom.
Kid met Big Mom again at Onigashima, with Kid taking part in the group that faced the duo of Kaidou and Big Mom at the top of the Skull Dome. Kid was one of the Supernovas responsible for pushing Big Mom out of the Skull Dome's rooftop, which caused her to nearly drown in Wano Country's sea. When Big Mom made her way back into Onigashima, she specifically targeted Kid with her new homie Hera and angrily called out for him to reveal himself to her, still visibly furious about the stunt he had pulled that almost killed her.[46] Kid, however, was not intimidated by her surprising return and kept hunting her down, intent on not letting her rejoin Kaidou. Kid somewhat regained his interest in taking down Big Mom just to get a lot of fame. Kid declared to Big Mom that she is a nuisance when there is no place for her in the new era, in addition to calling her an "old-time pirate," much to Big Mom's rage.
Big Mom seemingly did not take Kid seriously until he and Law managed to severely injure her. The resulting damage was enough to impress the Emperor, who then started to acknowledge their threat, even going as far as sacrificing some of her own life to gain additional power so she could crush the two. In the end, however, Big Mom's efforts were still not enough to take down Kid and Law, who both showed no fear at all towards her status as one of the Emperors, meaning they were immune to her Soul Pocus as well, and Kid even called Big Mom an "old hag." Once Kid and Law managed to launch her down into a crater with the help of an explosive she accidentally detonated, Big Mom, confident that she would not die, swore that they would pay.
Advertisement Kaidou Kid encountered Kaidou when the latter fell out of the sky and landed at the Kid Pirates' hideout before coming face to face with the rookie pirate. Kid refused to submit to Kaidou and tried to fight him only to be defeated and captured. Kaidou then imprisoned Kid, hoping to eventually break his spirit and turn him into a soldier for the Beasts.
During his imprisonment, Kid was shown to hold a strong grudge against Kaidou and firmly told Luffy that he would be the one to defeat the Emperor.[9] However, after seeing what happened to Killer, Kid decided to prioritize finding the rest of his crew and rejected Luffy's offer for an alliance.
After getting his crew back, he joined Luffy and Law to take down Kaidou, but just for the glory of defeating him and getting back for what the Beasts Pirates had done to him and his crew, not for the Kouzuki revolution. He took part in the confrontation against both Kaidou and Big Mom at the top of the Skull Dome.
Buggy Kid apparently does not take Buggy as an Emperor seriously, implying that he holds no respect for the clown pirate at all. Kid has even admitted that the notion of Buggy as an Emperor was worse for him to deal with than Luffy having the same status, although he did seem entertained at the idea behind the Cross Guild and its capability of issuing bounties on the Marines.[47]
Scratchmen Apoo Kid once got into a fight with Apoo at Sabaody Archipelago, but they both agreed to postpone their fight until after they had entered the New World. During their meeting in the New World, Apoo wrecked Kid's hideout and beat up one of his crew members because of the possibility that Kid was hiding a sniper, enraging Kid and resulting in a scuffle. However, it was revealed shortly afterwards, they in fact planned to form an alliance.[10] Despite their differences, they came into an agreement.

Kid and Apoo seemed to have gotten on more amiable terms with each other as themselves and their crews were able to eat and party together.[48] However, following the encounter with Kaidou, Apoo revealed himself to be a spy for the Beasts Pirates, having already joined Kaidou beforehand and letting the Emperor know about the location of their Pirate Alliance, leading to Kid distrusting other pirates except his own crew. Upon seeing Apoo again during the raid on Onigashima, Kid wasted no time attacking him, even disregarding the risk of revealing his presence to the Beasts Pirates. Apoo did not regret betraying Kid, as he himself looked down to the concept of alliances, thinking they never ended well.[24]
Following the events of the raid on Onigashima, Kid and Apoo appear to have gone back to at least mildly tolerating each other, with Kid still disliking Apoo's presence, but not to the point of sheer hostility.[49]
Advertisement Basil Hawkins Hawkins was another Worst Generation captain that Kid formed an alliance with, alongside Apoo. At first, Hawkins showed impatience regarding Kid and Apoo's animosity and nearly left the meeting but was convinced by Killer to stay.[10] Kid and Hawkins eventually came to an agreement, with Hawkins' crew later being shown partying with the Kid and On Air Pirates.[48]
However, when Kaidou crashed into Kid's hideout and faced the alliance, Hawkins did not stand up against the Emperor and accepted to join the Beasts Pirates out of survival. He did witness Kid and Killer fighting Kaidou to the end and was aware that Kid would not submit himself to anyone.[12]
Later at Onigashima, Hawkins confronted both Kid and Killer. Kid considered Hawkins a traitor, but the latter justified himself, saying that he had been betrayed by Apoo as well and followed the only choice he had at the time.[50] Unbeknownst to Kid, Hawkins had somehow managed to link his own life to his at some point, which led to Kid being sabotaged as he fought Big Mom, something that greatly amused Hawkins. Ultimately, Killer fought Hawkins on his own and was able to defeat him on Kid's behalf.[51]
Later on, Hawkins admitted to X Drake that, despite foreseeing Kaidou's downfall, he did not attempt to join forces with Kid again out of pride and shame for not opposing Kaidou the same way Kid did, confirming what Killer had told him earlier during their fight.[52]
Abilities and Powers As the captain of the Kid Pirates, Kid has complete authority over the crew. As a member of the Worst Generation, he is a powerful pirate.
Prior to the timeskip, he had a reward of Beli315,000,000, the highest among the Eleven Supernovas at the time, for dealing major destruction and civilian casualties along their route through the Grand Line and towards the New World.[14] In the Human Auctioning House, he effortlessly defeated a large group of Marines alongside Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law. Later, he along with his crew also managed to escape from a Pacifista and Admiral Kizaru.
After the timeskip, Kid appears to have become much more powerful, surviving the Red Hair Pirates to a battle and wounding one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders,[9] as well as later destroying two ships belonging to her.[25] His bounty rose to Beli470,000,000.[6]
During the Raid on Onigashima, he has shown to be powerful enough to fight against the two Emperors, Kaidou and Big Mom, dealing damage to them despite their near-impenetrable defenses.[53] Later, Kid briefly faced Big Mom, in a singles match, before wrestling, alongside Law, in a match receiving Hawkins' damage. After she had been empowered with a year of her life, while wielding her special Homies, Hera, Prometheus, and Napoleon, all of whom had grown stronger and more in sync, the two Supernovas, often using their awakened powers managed to push Big Mom towards her limits and landing a devastating blow against the feared Emperor, resulting in her eventual defeat.[54]
Having defeated the former Emperor, Big Mom, Kid gained a bounty of Beli3,000,000,000,[5] making him one of the most dangerous pirates in the world, with his new bounty matching that of the current Emperor and rival, Monkey D Luffy. However, in spite of his increase in strength, he still is no match for an Emperor head on, having been easily defeated by Shanks alone due to having overestimated his own strength compared to the Emperor, a mistake that potentially cost him and his crew their lives.
Kid also appears well-connected, as he is aware of dealings within the underworld and knew about Caesar Clown's experiments.
Additionally, Kid has a strong will, as he was completely unaffected by a burst of Rayleigh's Supreme King Haki.[55] Like Jinbe and Law, Kid is also immune to Big Mom's "Soul Pocus" due to his lack of fear towards the Emperor.
Advertisement Physical Abilities Kid possesses immense physical strength and resilience. While being cuffed with Seastone, which depletes the energy of Devil Fruit users, he was able to match Luffy's speed in carrying and delivering large stone blocks bigger than him even with only one arm. He was also able to endure the torture of his imprisonment by the Beasts Pirates. More impressively, Kid has enough power to challenge and fight against two members of the Four Emperors on the roof of Onigashima, withstand multiple attacks from both Emperors, and even deal damage to both Emperors who were both known for their near invulnerable bodies. Later inside of Onigashima, he was able to battle one of the Emperors head on, being able to withstand or even overpower direct attacks from the monstrously strong Big Mom, even after she had empowered herself further with her Devil Fruit abilities.[56][57] Another impressive feat was the fact that he was able to clash with her even while unknowingly under the effects of Basil Hawkins' Devil Fruit abilities.
Kid has an extraordinary recovery rate, as one of the prison guards said that his body could heal in a few days. Similar to Luffy, Kid has an incredible metabolism where he can eat large amounts of food, to the point where he becomes fat and round, but instantly burns all the calories to replenish his stamina.[34]
Kid is also an extremely skilled hand-to-hand combatant. While bound by Seastone cuffs and with only one arm, he managed to defeat Dobon, a Shinuchi of the Beast Pirates, alongside Luffy. Kid also managed to escape the Udon Prisoner Mine, while still cuffed in Seastone shackles.[58]
Mechanical & Engineering Skills In order to make full use of his Devil Fruit abilities, Kid also has excellent mechanical engineering skills, able to use his control over metal to shape it into various forms such as enormous golems made out of scrap metal, fully functional firearms for ranged combat, gears and customized pieces, a personalized railgun, or even build simple objects like boxes for imprisoning targets. Even as a child, Kid displayed keen interest in machinery and displayed skill in building robotic constructs.
Devil Fruit Further information: Jiki Jiki no Mi Kid using his magnetism to form giant arms out of scrap metal. Kid using his magnetism to form giant arms out of scrap metal.
Kid ate the Jiki Jiki no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate magnetic forces. He can attract and/or repel metal objects as he pleases, and he can also create magnetic fields that allow him to arrange metal objects into various configurations and constructs.
Kid can arrange the metal objects stuck to his body into a variety of shapes, with his most common technique being to form a gigantic metal arm used to unleash powerful attacks. In addition to covering his real arms with metal, Kid was also shown using his magnetism to form a rough replacement left arm after his cybernetic left arm had been removed by the Beasts Pirates.[20]
This power makes Kid a very dangerous opponent against fighters who use metal weapons, since he can either repel metal projectiles, such as cannonballs and bullets, or attract his enemies' blades and guns towards himself to use as building material for his own attacks.[59]
Advertisement Awakening Kid using his awakening to magnetize Big Mom. Kid using his awakening to magnetize Big Mom.
Kid has achieved Devil Fruit Awakening, allowing him to bestow magnetic properties onto things other than his own body. By his own admission, he has not fully mastered his awakened powers and it takes a serious toll on his stamina.[60]
Haki Main article: Haki Kid is one of the very few people in the world who can use all three types of Haki.[61] Despite this, he rarely uses them in combat, being more reliant on his Devil Fruit abilities.
Supreme King Haki According to Kaidou, Kid possesses the ability to use Supreme King Haki.[62] a very rare form of Haki whose users are said to have the qualities of a "king". While he has not yet showcased his usage of it in the manga, Kid has been seen using it in both the Anime[63] and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.
Observation Haki Kid is a very skilled user of Observation Haki, which he showcased during the Raid on Onigashima. He was able to sense that Luffy was defeated by Kaidou,[64] and was also able to sense Luffy's Devil Fruit Awakening.[65]
Armament Haki Kid possesses the ability to use Armament Haki.[61]

Weapons Kid carries around a flintlock pistol and a dagger. Sometime during the timeskip, his left arm was replaced with a mechanical one, making him a cyborg.
Advertisement History Past Eustass Kid was born in the South Blue within Kutsukku Island, which was unaffiliated with the World Government.[68] He knew Killer since they were children. One day, they ate curry udon with their first love, Victoria Shiruton Doruyanaika. They laughed when she spilled curry broth all over herself while eating it, causing her to beat them up. This caused curry udon to become their least favorite food.[35]
Kid, Killer, Heat and Wire were bosses of gangs ruling the island's four towns. After Victoria was murdered by a rival gang, Kid unified the four groups and took down the rival gang. He then decided to form a pirate crew, naming their ship Victoria Punk after Victoria, with Kid as the captain and Killer as his right-hand man.[68] They were noted to have been responsible for a great deal of damage and had caused many civilian casualties for the slightest provocations along their journey. By the time he was 19 years old, he had already achieved an infamous reputation, having been mentioned by Portgas D. Ace four years ago as having caused a significant impact in the sea.[14][69]
They eventually entered the Grand Line in search of the One Piece. After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Kid and his crew arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World. By that time, Kid had earned himself a staggering bounty of Beli315,000,000, making him a member of the as-of-yet named Worst Generation alongside Killer.
Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc While at the archipelago, he had a little squabble with Scratchmen Apoo in Grove 24. Before their battle could escalate further, Apoo asked Kid to postpone it until they went to the New World. Knowing what would happen if an incident were to happen, Kid agreed to Apoo's terms.[1]
Kid and his crew then ventured deeper into the mangrove and entered the Human Auctioning House. As Kid waited for the auction to begin, he made a number of remarks to his crew, claiming that the World Nobles make pirates seem humane by comparison and bemoaning the twisted nature of the world order, before noting that he might actually join in on the slave auction. Kid later caught a glimpse of Trafalgar Law, who was already sitting for the auction, and was flipped off by the pirate doctor.[22] As the auction began, Kid noticed some members of the Straw Hat Pirates coming in and was disappointed to find the captain was not with them at the time, noting that he wished to see just how big an idiot and how crazy Monkey D. Luffy is supposed to be, as depicted in the newspapers.
Kid watched through most of the auction until the World Noble Saint Rosward Charlos made an outrageously high Beli500,000,000 bid for the mermaid, Camie, which completely shut out the other participants in the auction. Seeing the noble go unchallenged, Kid decided to leave the auction house, considering it another example of what is wrong with the world. However, before he and his crew left the building, Luffy and Roronoa Zoro crashed through the wall right next to them. What followed next then was a ruckus caused by Luffy that caught Kid's eye. As the events unraveled, Kid, along with the rest of the crowd, watched in shock as Luffy punched Charlos out of anger for shooting his fish-man friend and ally, Hatchan. While most everyone in the auction house started panicking at this turn of events, Kid, as well as Trafalgar Law, simply smiled approvingly at what happened.[70]
Just as Kid was watching the ensuing chaos, he noticed that someone suddenly came out of the back of the auction house's stage, along with a giant. He then witnessed the person knocking out nearly everyone in the place except for the Straw Hats and their allies with Haki. Having taken the blast and survived through it, Kid realized that this person was none other than Gol D. Roger's first mate, Silvers Rayleigh. As the situation continued, Kid and those still conscious realized that a bunch of Marines were surrounding the auction house for what Luffy did.

Though happy at seeing how crazy Luffy is, as the rumors stated, Kid decided not to stick around to fight a Marine Admiral. Seeing as how the Marines were treating Kid's and Law's crews as if they were accomplices to the Straw Hats, Kid told Luffy and Law that he would go on ahead and clear a way for them so that they would not have to worry themselves. However, Luffy and Law were insulted by Kid's remarks and instead decided to go face the Marines along with him. Together, the three captains began to fight the Marines outside the auction house with their respective Devil Fruit powers.[71] Luffy noted that both Kid and Law have crazy powers, with Kid responding that Luffy had the weirdest.
After beating back the first wave of Marine attacks and scattering them, Kid noted that their plan of attack was utterly demolished. He bid Luffy farewell and stated that it was nice meeting him but promised that the next time they meet, he would not be so merciful. Luffy unconcernedly replied that he would be the one to find One Piece. Both Kid and Law stared at Luffy and were even distracted from the attacking Marines. Killer defended Kid and scolded him for not paying attention. Kid reflected to Luffy that on his voyage, people had laughed when he made the same claim, and he killed everyone who laughed at him. He also stated that from this point, anyone without the nerve to claim One Piece would die on the seas. He invited both Luffy and Law to meet up with him in the New World before departing with his crew.

After defeating the Marines, the Kid Pirates were on their way to leave the island when moments later, Kid and his crew were confronted by what they believed to be Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma (later revealed to be a Pacifista). It surprised both Kid and the pirates when it fired a laser from its mouth, which hit Kid's left leg.[72] Law and his crew happened to encounter them while escaping as well, and, despite Kid telling Law to stay back (which is met once again by Law's earlier threat), they both prepared to fight against the Pacifista.[73]
Advertisement Marineford Arc Kid and his crew managed to escape capture by the Pacifista and later returned to Sabaody Archipelago. They watched the live broadcast of the execution of Portgas D. Ace up until it was cut off by the Marines. After this, Kid told his men they were departing.[30]
Post-War Arc The Kid Pirates then approached Marineford and watched the war unfold from a safe distance on board of their ship. After the war was declared over by Sengoku, Kid commented that since Whitebeard died, the balance of the Three Great Powers was shifted with the New World under the control of the remaining Emperors Shanks, Kaidou, and Big Mom. Kid went on saying that the New Age, the likes of which no one has ever seen before, had begun.[74]

Kid and his crew later arrived in the New World. He was reading aloud from the newspaper article about Luffy going to Marineford a second time. Following Killer's explanation about the Ox Bell, Kid thought Luffy's message meant a declaration of creating the new age himself. Kid found this amusing and acknowledged Luffy's boldness, but, at the same time, he was not generous enough to let Luffy stay ahead of him much longer. He then took Haritsu Kendiyo and his pirate crew captive and crucified them using his Devil Fruit powers despite their pleas for mercy, saying that people with that little amount of resolve had no business in the New World.[75]
During the Timeskip Sometime during the two-year timeskip, as Kid got very involved in many conflicts,[3] he lost his left forearm in battle against the Red Hair Pirates' first mate, Benn Beckman.[16][9] He later replaced it with a large metal one.[6] Furthermore, his bounty has increased to Beli470,000,000.[6]
At some point after this, Kid and his crew went to Big Mom's territory and injured Charlotte Snack, one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, as well as plundering a copy of her Road Poneglyph.[9][76] However, they were quickly forced to flee afterwards.[77]

A few days after sinking two of the Big Mom Pirates' ships,[25] Kid watched Caesar Clown's broadcast of his new weapon of mass destruction via a video Den Den Mushi. When asked by Killer if he was interested in purchasing said weapon, he denied it, simply wanting to satisfy his curiosity about news on the black market despite his unaffiliation with broker activities.[27]
After seeing his fellow Supernovas Luffy and Law captured, Kid then left the broadcast at the urging of Killer to meet up with some apparent guests they had summoned beforehand. Kid also mentioned that he was surprised about how Law was really planning something all along, having believed he had become a mere government dog.[10]

Opening the door to the meeting room of his hideout, it was revealed that the guests were none other than Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins. Apoo, standing amongst a wrecked room and over one of Kid's badly beaten subordinates, started taunting Kid, leading him to instantly become enraged at the Longarm due to the damage he had caused. As the two challenged each other, Hawkins declared how foolish the meeting was and that he was leaving. Killer asked him to wait as he stepped between Kid and Apoo, reminding them that the three crews came together to try and form an alliance and asked that they at least try to discuss it.[10]
A newspaper later revealed that the three captains came to an agreement and formed an alliance.[78]

Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo were dining together when they heard the news of Donquixote Doflamingo's defeat. They figured that Luffy, and Law were after Kaidou since Doflamingo was connected to him. They were pleased that Luffy and Law were not after the same Emperor as them, Shanks.[48]

Sometime later, Kid and the others were alerted by what seemed to be an earthquake. Kid instructed his men to have their weapons drawn and drew closer to investigate. The source of the commotion was a large crater on the ground in the shape of a human. Kid was enraged and demanded an answer as to what person was behind this occurrence. He was answered by another explosion in the direction of the crater. It was then revealed that the man who had caused the explosion was Kaidou.[11] At that time, Kid, Killer, and Hawkins discovered that Apoo was already working for Kaidou with the intention of setting them up to join him as his subordinates. While Hawkins joined Kaidou, Kid and Killer refused to submit to the Emperor and tried to fight him, only to be defeated.[12]

Kid and his crew attended the Pirates Festival on Delta Island. He participated in the main event, the Treasure Race, safely sailing up the Knock Up Stream and landing on the central Treasure Island, where all the pirates raced for Gol D. Roger's treasure, all the while battling other Worst Generation members. When Buggy ended up exposing himself after snatching the treasure, Kid and his crew chased after the Warlord. However, the Treasure Race was cut short, when someone threw a galleon at the island, destroying it, and sending everything plummeting back to the surface. When Kid realized that the one who did this was Douglas Bullet, he was quite surprised. In the end, he gave into Bullet's taunting, and together with the other Worst Generation members (except for Zoro and Law) attacked the Demon Heir. At first the Worst Generation pirates managed to deal a few good blows on the veteran, but when the opponent revealed his Gasha Gasha no Mi powers, the battle quickly ended in their defeat.
Later, after Bullet was defeated, his crew along with the other Worst Generation pirates and several other crews attempted to breakthrough the Marines encirclement surrounding the island. They were able to successfully escape thanks to Sabo and Ann creating a blazing barrier to protect them.[81]

In the Udon region of Wano Country, Kid was sitting in a cell of the Prisoner Mine when Luffy was thrown next to him. Both Kid and Luffy swore payback against Kaidou before they noticed each other.[82] A few days later, both of them were competing over who could do more work at the mine. Dobon then confronted the two over the amount of kibi dango rations they acquired. He prepared to discipline them by putting them both into his hippo's mouth. However, Kid and Luffy quickly knocked out Dobon and his hippo.[34]
Later, Kid overheard Caribou telling Luffy a rumor about how Kid's arm got cut off, and he interjected to correct the story. Kid and Luffy then argued over which one of them would take down Kaidou.[9] At a later point, Kid somehow escaped from the prisoner mine.[58]

Kid later spotted Killer being escorted to the Prisoner Mines. He attempted to attack the escort only to be subdued and recaptured. After returning to the prison, Kid questioned Killer on what Kaidou had done to him and the fate of their crew, but Killer could not answer through his laughter and tears. Queen then subjugated them both to water torture and threatened to keep them submerged until Luffy and Hyougoro die in the Sumo Inferno.[33] When Big Mom was swinging Queen around, Kid and Killer were saved from drowning when Queen crashed into the contraption holding them and knocked them out of the water.[83]
As Luffy and his allies from the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance were fighting against the Beasts Pirates, Raizo tossed some keys to Kid and Killer so they could release themselves. Kid sat there and watched as the chaos unfolded.[84] After the prison takeover had completed, Luffy offered Kid an alliance to defeat Kaidou. Kid rejected Luffy's offer, feeling betrayed by Apoo and Hawkins. He then took Killer with him and left the Prisoner Mines to find his other crewmates.[20]
On the day of the Fire Festival, the Kid Pirates joined the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates in battling the Beasts Pirates' ships at Tokage Port. According to Kid, he met many ships and samurais on the other port that he found it difficult to set sail.[17] After rescuing Kin'emon's group, Kid and his crew were shocked to hear that Kaidou had formed an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates. Undeterred, Kid, Law, and Luffy destroyed a Beasts Pirates' ship together.[85] While dealing with the last enemy ship, he was surprised to see Jinbe's arrival and learned about the fish-man's joining with the Straw Hats.[86]
Kid attacks Apoo. Kid attacks Apoo.
When the Straw Hats took over the port in front of Onigashima, Kid once again promised to be the one who would defeat Kaidou.[87] After disembarking on Onigashima, the Kid Pirates received Beasts Pirates disguises from Kin'emon.[88] As the alliance began their raid, the Kid Pirates went ahead of the Straw Hats, with Luffy and Zoro following after them.[23]
While sneaking through Skull Dome's Live Floor, Kid was surprised when Luffy and Zoro began causing a commotion. At first, he tried to ignore them in order to not bring unwanted attention to himself and his crew, but when he spotted Apoo, Kid decided to start fighting as well. As Apoo was distracted with attacking the two Straw Hats, Kid attacked Apoo for revenge.[89] Apoo quickly recovered and retaliated, forcing Kid back. The situation became more chaotic as Hatcha, one of the Numbers, entered the fray. As Kid, Killer, Luffy, and Zoro ran to the castle, they were able to defend against Apoo's next attack by covering their ears.[90]
Inside the castle, Kid and Killer got separated from their allies and found themselves fighting against several Gifters.[91] As the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance began their all-out war on the Beasts Pirates, Kid and Killer were aided by some of the rebels.[92] In preparation for the fight with Kaidou, Kid began using his magnetic powers to collect all the loose metallic objects on his way to the roof. As Kid and Killer reached the third level of the castle, the pile of metal had grown to fill the whole corridor.[93]

The two later reached the roof, where they were soon joined by Law, Zoro, and Luffy as they prepared to fight against Kaidou and Big Mom.[94] Kid was briefly surprised when he saw Luffy hurt Kaidou. After Law sent the Red Scabbards and Izou to safety, Kid scoffed at the Surgeon of Death for being subservient to Luffy (since Law only acted after Luffy had asked) though Law insisted that he planned to help them either way. When Luffy challenged Kid and Law to a game of chicken in the face of Big Mom's attack, the two initially refused. However, following a small taunt from the Straw Hat captain, the two took up his challenge, with all of them ending up taking the full brunt of the attack. They quickly recovered, and the five members of the Worst Generation took a strike at Kaidou. However, Kaidou transformed into his dragon form and joined Big Mom in the sky, preparing to battle.[95]
Kaidou used a roar to unleash wind blades at his opponents. Kid's metal golem armor was struck but Kid remained unharmed. With his metal armor, Kid grabbed Kaidou and slammed him into the roof. Later, Big Mom unleashed a lightning storm at the five Supernovas. Kid managed to block some of her thunderbolts but was caught off guard by a lightning homie.[96] After Luffy had pummeled Kaidou with Gomu Gomu no Kong Gatling, Kid and Killer tried to continue on the offensive, but Kaidou stopped them by creating some twisters. Zoro managed to slice through Kaidou's scales, but Kaidou responded by launching wind blades at the five Supernovas.[97]

Kid and the other Supernovas eventually agreed that they had to split up Big Mom and Kaidou somehow, otherwise they had no chance of winning.[98] After surviving a combined attack from both Emperors thanks to Zoro's effort, Kid and Law elaborated a plan to separate Big Mom's special homies from her person. Kid used his powers to form a metal box so Law could teleport Zeus inside, while Zoro and Killer dealt with Prometheus and Napoleon respectively. Once Big Mom was fully disarmed, Kid shot metal spears at Big Mom, but was punched down into the ground by the Emperor in return. He, however, took the opportunity to grip Big Mom's arm with his own prosthetic arm, allowing him to Repel her up in the sky, from where Law managed to hit her with a boulder, throwing her off Onigashima.[99]
Once Prometheus and Napoleon left Onigashima to rescue Big Mom, Kid and Killer followed them to the edge of the island. There, Kid noticed something strange happening to the clouds in the sky.[100] It turned out to be Big Mom creating a new homie, Hera, whose power she tested out on Kid and Killer as she headed back to Onigashima on Prometheus. Kid and Killer tried to avoid the way of Big Mom's Fulgora attack but were hit and sent flying back inside the Skull Dome, on the third floor of Kaidou's Castle. Kid and Killer survived with few injuries and noticed that Big Mom was searching for them somewhere in the floor below. Kid ran off after her, but was stopped by Hawkins, his former ally and whom Kid considered a traitor. Killer told Kid to keep going while he stayed behind to keep Hawkins busy, which Kid complied.

Once Kid reached the second floor, he noticed some of Kaidou's grunts alerting each other about Big Mom's location and headed towards the ruckus.[101] Kid eventually found Big Mom as she was about to strike down Nami, Usopp and Tama, using his Punk Gibson technique to block Big Mom's sword and then slam her down to the floor. Kid told the Straw Hats to leave Big Mom to him, as the latter recovered herself from the attack.[57] As Kid fought Big Mom, Bao Huang announced that Luffy had died against Kaidou. Kid professed indifference to Luffy's fate,[39] but smiled when Momonosuke confirmed the opposite in an announcement of his own.
Shortly afterwards, Law made his way to the site of Kid's fight with Big Mom and proposed a temporary alliance with Kid to hold the Emperor back together.[102] During the fight, Kid struggled to stay on his feet due to mysterious injuries that kept springing up on his body. Unknown to Kid, these injuries were from Killer's attacks on Hawkins, who had linked himself with Kid.[103] They were then surprised by the sudden interruption of Luffy riding a huge pink dragon on his way back to the rooftop.[104] Later, Kid reacted to Luffy's broadcasted declaration to defeat Kaidou.[105] As the fight continued, Kid's pain reappeared, so Big Mom used Hera on Napoleon and was about to attack him, but Law defended Kid. However, the flames of Prometheus hit Law, who fell to the ground. Big Mom attacked the two pirates, injuring them further. Kid was perplexed by what was happening to him and disappointed that he might die pointlessly after finally reaching an Emperor. Once Killer severed Hawkins' link with Kid and defeated the Shinuchi, Kid quickly recovered and continued fighting Big Mom.[106]

Not finding any progress in causing major damage to Big Mom, Kid convinced Law to try utilizing their awakenings in order to change the tide of the fight. Kid was caught by a lightning blast from Big Mom that sent him back to the Live Floor in a freefall, with the Emperor following after Kid in order to finish him off in midair. Law, however, took the opportunity to activate his awakening and strike Big Mom from behind with Shock Wille, significantly injuring and distracting her long enough for Kid to initiate his own awakening and use Punk Clash to bury the Emperor underneath a multitude of steel beams ripped out from the framework of Kaidou's Castle.[107] This was, however, not sufficient to finish Big Mom off. Now truly angered, the Emperor stole the souls of several of Kaidou's minions in the Live Floor to power up her own special Homies and create new ones from the steel beams that previously crushed her. Having acknowledged Kid and Law's power, Big Mom sacrificed one year from her own lifespan in order to grow in size and power, all while daring the Worst Generation pirates to try and take her down. Not intimidated by Big Mom's new form, Kid declared that he would take the Emperor down no matter the cost.[108]
Soon thereafter, Big Mom once again regained the upper hand, beating them up while mocking them about their crew's pleas to spare their lives. After Big Mom had punished their crews for pleading to her, she started to make her move towards the roof, viewing their fight as over. This would, however, give Law an advantage, as he was not defeated yet and exploited her ascension towards the roof, coating Kikoku with K-Room and stabbing her from right arm up to her face. He then unleashed Shock Wille onto her again, noticing she could not have been unharmed by this attack before. Right before he was about to be attacked by her newly created steel homies, they were attached towards Kid, who also rose up. After assimilating both the homies and surrounding metal, he confidently told Big Mom that nothing was impervious to damage before charging at Big Mom with Punk Corna Dio, ramming her into a wall. Both then once again assured Big Mom that they would not let her reach the roof, even if they died in the battle.[109]

Kid then started arguing with Law as Big Mom recovered from their attacks. Law told Kid to prepare himself as the former would spend his last remaining stamina in a final attack. Kid took the opportunity to attack Big Mom once more, sticking her to one of the Live Floor's towers through his awakening. Big Mom, however, countered his maneuver and summoned a new homie, Misery, to burn Kid down. Kid was able to able to survive the attack and observed as Law pulled his final move. Taking advantage of the hole Law had produced with his awakening, Kid created an enormous railgun and fired a powerful projectile directly on Big Mom's stomach.
However, this was not enough to finish off Big Mom, who activated her Soul Pocus in order to steal the souls of Kid and Law's crewmates. The technique, however, ended up being ineffective on both captains, who held no fear towards the Emperor. They then proceeded to silence and launch Big Mom out of Onigashima and directly into the crater Law had formed beforehand. With Big Mom falling victim to an explosion down below due to an explosive she accidentally detonated, a massively spent Kid and Law were heavily celebrated by their crews for the win.
With only Luffy's fight left to finish, Kid waited for the battle to conclude, considering the possibility of Kaidou emerging as the winner. Once Kaidou descended from the rooftop and announced his victory over the Straw Hat captain, Kid lamented the outcome, but also declared that he would not go down without a fight as he prepared himself for combat once more. He was targeted by Kaidou's forces, but his crew protected him.
Kid then noticed that Luffy was still alive through his Observation Haki and, after that, witnessed a gigantic arm descending from the ceiling and pulling Kaidou back to the rooftop, much to his shock, and more surprised that he witnessed Luffy's giant head after Kaidou hammered him from the roof. He also saw the samurai resigning themselves to a possible death but kept waiting for the final outcome of the fight[110] and rejoiced alongside Killer when Kaidou's defeat was finally confirmed.[111]
One week later, Kid and his crew oversaw the repairs of the Victoria Punk, Thousand Sunny and Polar Tang alongside Usopp, Franky and the Heart Pirates at Tokage Port, with Kid trying to discourage his subordinates from getting too friendly with the Straw Hats. Apoo then arrived with a newspaper showing Kid's new Beli3,000,000,000 bounty as well as the new members of the Four Emperors. Angry about the contents of the paper, Kid rushed to the Flower Capital to confront Luffy about the news but ended up forced into taking part in the festival's fireworks showcase against his will. Brushing off Luffy's attempts to socialize with him, Kid then showed the Straw Hat Captain the article about the new status the latter had been branded with.[112]

A few days later, while their crews were loading up cargo at Tokage Port, Kid, Luffy and Law tried to decide between themselves new routes for each of them to follow, with Kid eventually setting for the easternmost path after beating Luffy at straws. Annoyed with Luffy's childishness, Kid took the opportunity to show and then explain to him a leaflet illustrating the Cross Guild, a new group formed by Buggy, Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk, much to the Straw Hat captain's shock. Kid also ended up receiving a rubbing of Wano's Road Poneglyph from Law for his decisive role in the raid. Kid and Killer then started discussing the serious possibility of looking around for a mysterious man with a "burn mark" that they felt could be key in the fight for the One Piece, something that piqued Luffy's curiosity, much to Kid's amusement.[47]
With his crew ready to set sail, the Kid Pirates departed from Wano, but not before Kid himself mocked Luffy and Law one last time and goaded them into leaving the country by jumping off the Climbing Koi Waterfall.[113]

Following the sea route their captain chose back at Wano, the Kid Pirates eventually reached their next destination, Elbaph.[114] Shortly after their arrival, they encountered the Red Hair Pirates and the latter's allied crews, thus prompting Kid and his crew to prepare for battle.[115] When the battle began, Kid immediately formed his Damned Punk. Using his Future Sight, Shanks beheld a catastrophic scene unfold as Kid's attack destroyed and slaughtered hundreds in one go. Refusing to let this happen and harboring strong disgust towards Kid for going so overboard on collateral damage, Kid was immediately struck down in a single blow with Shanks' Kamusari. In the anime, it was shown that the damage was both from Shanks' Kamusari and the Damned Punk releasing its stored energy after Shanks sliced Kid's weapon. His crew then pleaded for mercy and handed over their Poneglyph rubbings. However, as Shanks left the Victoria Punk, it was then split in half by Dorry and Brogy's Hakoku, and the crew sank with the ship.[13]

Eustass "Captain" Kid and Killer are childhood best friends who grew up in the slums of an anarchic South Blue island. Their unbreakable bond drives them to sail the seas together, but their contrasting personalities—Kid’s explosive, fiery ambition and Killer’s calm, level-headed, and surprisingly empathetic nature—make them one of the most compelling dynamics in One Piece.To explore their unique bond:The Origin Story: Born in a lawless, unnamed country, they originally led rival street gangs along with their friends Heat and Wire. Enraged, Kid united the rival gangs, overthrew the corrupt rulers, and vowed to set out to sea. Eustass Kid's Personality: Kid is ferocious, hot-headed, and relentlessly ambitious. He mirrors Luffy in his desire to become the Pirate King, but approaches it with a more ruthless, callous edge. Despite his aggressive exterior, he is fiercely loyal to his crew, holds a deep respect for Killer, and despises anyone who mocks his friends.Killer's Personality: Known as the "Massacre Soldier", Killer is level-headed and acts as the brain and emotional anchor to Kid's raw power. While equally capable of intense violence, he is highly logical, often keeping Kid from making impulsive decisions or acting recklessly.Eustass Kid and Killer grew up together on an unnamed, lawless island in the South Blue. They ruled rival street gangs alongside Heat and Wire. United by their shared first crush, Victoria, and the tragedy of her murder, they overthrew the ruling gang before setting out to the Grand Line.Their respective personalities are distinct but deeply complementary:Eustass "Captain" Kid: He is defined by his explosive, volatile, and deeply rebellious nature. Having grown up in the slums of a country without World Government affiliation, Kid learned very early on that the world was built on suffering and deceit. This shaped his arrogant, take-no-prisoners attitude. He values loyalty above all but covers his vulnerability with an aggressive, prideful, and destructive edge. He views the World Nobles and hypocritical Marines as scum, making him a "killer" in spirit because he refuses to submit to the traditional power structures of the world.Killer ("The Massacre Soldier"): Killer is the cool, calculating, and level-headed counterpart to Kid's fiery ambition. He is arguably the only person who can keep Kid in check. Despite his brutal moniker and murderous former assassin alias, he is highly observant, articulate, and fiercely devoted to his captain. He typically acts as the voice of reason and the pragmatic strategist of the crew, contrasting his wild laughter and violent fighting style.
Killer is the combatant of the Kid Pirates in One Piece, famous for wearing a full-head white and light-blue striped helmet with small holes and headphone-like gear.

"Massacre Soldier" Killer[9] is a pirate from the South Blue and a combatant of the Kid Pirates. He is one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation".[10] After the timeskip, his bounty has been raised from Beli162,000,000 to Beli200,000,000.[8]
Following the confrontation with Kaidou, Killer ate a defective SMILE[11] and took on the alias of Kamazo the Manslayer, a street murderer in Wano Country[4] who secretly acted as an assassin working for the shogun, Kurozumi Orochi,[3] until the shogun discarded him after he had failed his mission to kill Toko.[12] He later reunites with his crew and becomes an ally member of the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance during the Wano Country Arc.
Appearance Killer is a tall muscular man with fair skin, he has long wild messy blonde hair sticking up in all distance reaching down to his thighs he wears a plain, white and light-blue striped full-head helmet with many rows of holes in it, and what look like modern headphones on both sides. He also wears a black shirt with white polka-dots and an open collar that shows his chest, with blue riding chaps over his ankle-length blue-grey pants. Additionally, Killer has a red sash around his waist.
He carries a pair of handguards which have very long detachable scythes connected to them. When not fighting, these scythes are placed in a green large sheath tied to his right hip.[1]
In an SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Killer is shown as a boy with shoulder-length wavy hair that covered his eyes with a plain t-shirt, pants and shoes, eating a plate of noodles.[13] This makes a reference to SBS Volume 62, that Oda stated that Killer, as an adult, prefers to consume food that can pass through the holes of his mask, such as stick-shaped ones and ramen.[14]
After the timeskip, Killer is shown as more muscular and with a thicker neck. He has grown a blond goatee and is shown to have a prominent scar (similar to varicose veins.) on his left arm. His hair is shorter, now only reaching down to his back.[8] He has changed his attire after the two-year timeskip to a blue t-shirt with his customized Jolly Roger on. a blue slash, jeans, black dress shoes,
Under the guise as Kamazo the Manslayer, Killer lost his mask and has bandages covering most of his face and arms. He has sharp, slanted eyes with blue pupils and purple-coloured lips. His hair is kept bound into a high ponytail, and he wears a red violet kimono with yellow sickle-shaped patterns placed on it irregularly, as well as a dark violet obi around his waist and a cape that both have target patterns on them.[3] By the time of the Fire Festival, Killer regained his mask, although it was heavily damaged during his fight with Hawkins, having received several cracks.[15]
Personality Like the rest of Kid's crew, Killer comes across as both mildly arrogant and level-headed, in the latter case, probably more so than their captain. Of course, this does not mean he is not as enticed toward violence as anybody else on the crew. He also remains fairly silent during combat, save for the slicing of his blades, and tends to focus on the elimination of his enemies.[1] Killer is more knowledgeable than his captain in terms of historical facts, as shown when he informed Kid the meaning of the Ox Bell.[16]
After the timeskip, Killer has been shown to be much calmer than his captain, advising him to be polite when meeting with his fellow Supernovas, and was then able to prevent a fight between him and Scratchmen Apoo from escalating while reminding them of the purpose of their meeting. He also seems to be more reasonable than his captain, which is in contrast to his name, as he tried to reason things out rather than immediately trying to start a fight.[17]

Killer is very caring towards his allies. Though the exact terms are unknown, he was made an offer where he could save his crew by eating a SMILE fruit and working for Orochi, and Killer accepted the deal. After eating a faulty SMILE fruit, Killer lost the ability to express negative emotions and is now only able to smile and laugh.[11]
After taking on the alias Kamazo, he displays the traits of a violent man who takes pleasure in killing. If he encounters someone whom he has not been ordered to kill, he will give them the chance to get out of his way but will kill anyone who stands between him and his target without issue. He is very confident in his abilities, constantly taunting his opponents and being sure that they will lose to him. As someone who worked for Orochi, "Kamazo" held the shogun in high regard and would get mad if anyone referred to the shogun in an impolite manner.[3]
By the time of the raid on Onigashima, Killer started regaining much of his former personality, though he still suffers from the effect of the faulty SMILE fruit. A week after the raid, Killer expresses admiration at General Franky, continuing a running gag that male characters often partake in when they see robots.[18]
Like many other people, he has a unique laughter style: "Faffaffaffa" (ファッファッファッファ?).[3] According to Kid, Killer hates his own laugh to the point of stopping himself from doing so ever since. Moreover, he also hates people laughing at his laugh and is willing to kill them for it.[11]
His favorite food is spaghetti, his mask being specially designed so he can eat it without removing the mask.
Advertisement Relationships Crew Like his Captain, the Kid Pirates seem to have the most respect for him after Kid. After eating a defective SMILE and losing the ability to express negative emotions, the crew also laughed like Killer out of respect for his new condition and knowing that he hates his own laugh.[19]
Eustass Kid Kid and Killer grew up together, so they share a close bond that goes all the way back to childhood. Kid refers to Killer as his partner and is aware that the latter is sensitive about his own strange laugh, which is why, despite being unaware about Killer having eaten a defective SMILE, he knew something was wrong with his subordinate. This was enough for Kid to attempt a reckless rescue of his friend, which led to his second capture from the Beasts Pirates after managing to escape the first time.
Killer has displayed immense loyalty for Kid multiple times; it was due to Kid's life being in danger that Killer ate a defective SMILE fruit and became a subordinate of Kurozumi Orochi, showcasing extreme loyalty for Kid.[20] Another notable instance of this happened during the war against the Beasts Pirates at Onigashima, when Hawkins managed to link his life to Kid's, which forced Killer on the defensive so he would not accidentally kill his captain, even begging Hawkins to take his life instead as long as he left Kid's alone.[21]
Killer usually acts as the voice of reason for his captain, making sure Kid stays focused and does not lose sight of his goals due to impulsiveness, especially if it was about achieving your goal. Killer also provides Kid with useful information whenever the latter displays curiosity in a certain topic.
Enemies Basil Hawkins Killer cuts off Hawkins' arm. Killer cuts off Hawkins' arm.
During the meeting between the Hawkins Pirates, the Kid Pirates and the On Air Pirates to form an alliance, Killer tried to reach for Hawkins so he would not leave before hearing their proposal, showing he was interested in having the Magician on his side.[17] That said, Hawkins submitted to Kaidou when the latter attacked the hideout of the Kid Pirates, eventually becoming their enemy in the Wano Country Arc.
Hawkins confronted Killer during the raid on Onigashima and where Killer taunted him for being a true watchdog of Kaidou, feeling confident that he would win.[22]
Using Kid's life as a hostage, Hawkins managed to get the upper hand in the battle despite Killer's efforts. However, Killer was able to figure out a way to bypass the effects of the Wara Wara no Mi, something Hawkins could not foresee. Killer claimed that Hawkins was unsure about his loyalty to Kaidou and regretted joining forces with the Emperor. He also taunted his former ally about his choice to become part of the Beasts Pirates, citing that, despite Hawkins' predictions, he and Kid were still alive from their previous fight with Kaidou.[23][21]
Advertisement Rivals Roronoa Zoro Killer and Roronoa Zoro first met in Wano Country when Zoro fought off Killer—who was working under the alias "Kamazo"—to protect Hiyori and Toko.[3][24] During the raid on Onigashima, Zoro recognized Killer as Kamazo due to his laugh. Killer claimed that if he had used his Punishers, the outcome of their fight would have been different to which Zoro responded that the outcome would just end the same. It is shown to be well connected when they attacked Kaidou[25] and when they were going to rob Big Mom's homies.[26]
Abilities and Powers As a member of the Worst Generation, he is a powerful pirate, being the only one (alongside Roronoa Zoro), not to be a captain; where along with him he is also one of the two members who does not have the powers of a Devil Fruit, unlike everyone else.
Prior to the timeskip, he obtained a bounty of a Beli162,000,000 by the time he had reached the Sabaody Archipelago, where he briefly faced off against Urouge, another member of the Worst Generation, with apparent ease.[1]
After the time skip, his abilities have increased, where his bounty increased to Beli200,000,000.[8] He was able to face Zoro, where the latter recognized Killer's power. At the same time, he managed to wound him, albeit with a surprise attack, only to be defeated in the end.[3][24] Killer himself believed that he could have killed Zoro if he had used his Punishers. During the raid on Onigashima, he earned the distinction of injuring Kaidou, formerly of the Four Emperors and considered the "The Strongest Creature", where Kaidou himself recognized his power.[25] He later defeated Basil Hawkins, another Worst Generation member, where the latter seemed to recognize he could not defeat Killer, so he decided to use dirty tricks.[22][23][21]
Additionally, Killer has a strong will, as he was completely unaffected by a burst of Rayleigh's Supreme King Haki.[27]
After eating a failed SMILE, Killer lost his ability to swim and to show other expressions besides a smile.[28]
Physical Abilities Killer effortlessly defeating Marines. Killer effortlessly defeating Marines.
Killer's style of fighting seems to rely mainly on his extraordinary speed and agility, which he uses to overpower his opponents before they can strike him or dodge his attacks. Killer's fighting style tends to be highly acrobatic as a result and he is able to slice targets before being noticed or detected.[29] During his battle with Zoro, he managed to put him in constant trouble in terms of speed,[3] and he was even able to steal Napoleon from Emperor Big Mom's clutches before she could realize it.[26]
Killer possesses immense physical strength, being capable of fighting head on with Urouge, a man twice his size.[1] He has incredible levels of physical endurance and stamina, being able to continue fighting after a lightning strike from Zeus, one of Big Mom's most powerful homies.[25]

Weapons Further information: Punishers Killer using his Punishers. Killer using his Punishers.
Killer is seen wielding a pair of gauntlets equipped with scythe-like blades, which he dubs "Punishers". The blades are capable of spinning around like buzzsaws or simply being used as hand scythes. These weapons can also be used to block other weapons, leaving the foe open for Killer to kick the enemy's flank or other exposed areas. This, combined with the agility he has so far displayed in combat and the notion that he is not afraid to kill, makes him a formidable foe.[31]
If spun at a high enough speed, the Punishers can generate powerful soundwaves to inflict damage to its target from the inside.[30] This way, Killer even managed to hurt Kaidou, in his full dragon form, a feat only a few people were capable of, let alone dared to.[25]
In the anime, the Punishers were destroyed when Killer attempted to block Shanks' attack at Elbaph,[32] while their fate is unknown in the manga.
As Kamazo, Killer used two regular scythes, but lost them after he was defeated by Zoro.[3] In the anime, Killer was shown able to launch flying slash attacks with both sets of weapons.
History Past Killer was born in the South Blue within Kutsukku Island, which was unaffiliated with the World Government.[33] He knew Eustass Kid since they were children. One day, they ate curry udon with their first love, Victoria Shiruton Doruyanaika. They laughed when she spilled curry broth all over herself while eating it, causing her to beat them up. This caused curry udon to become their least favorite food.[34]
According to Kid, Killer hated his own laugh so much that he beat up anyone who made fun of it. He eventually stopped laughing at all and started to wear a mask to hide his face.[11]
Killer, Kid, Heat and Wire were bosses of gangs ruling the island's four towns. After Victoria was murdered by a rival gang, Kid unified the four groups and took down the rival gang. He then decided to form a pirate crew, naming their ship Victoria Punk after Victoria, with Kid as the captain and Killer as his right-hand man.[33] While his captain gained more and more infamy, Killer himself became well known as well, earning himself a Beli162,000,000 bounty alongside his captain. They were noted to have been responsible for a great deal of damage and had caused many civilian casualties for the slightest provocations along their journey.
They eventually entered the Grand Line in search of the One Piece. After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Killer and the crew arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World.

After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Kid and his crew came to the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World. For unknown reasons, he ended up facing Urouge around one of the archipelago's groves. Killer's fight was eventually broken up by X Drake, who told them to reign in themselves until they hit the New World.[1]
He later rejoined with his captain at the Human Auctioning House, to observe the auction taking place. After interruptions caused by Monkey D. Luffy, Killer found himself fighting to escape alongside Trafalgar Law's and Luffy's crews, in the face of a daunting Marine attack.[35] During the battle, Luffy remarked how he will be the one to find the great treasure One Piece; Kid responded to this statement by ceasing current fighting, and facing Luffy. After a brief recollection between the captains, on how their journey was met with laughter and dismissal at their crews' dreams, on their route along the Grand Line, the crew escaped together.

The crew managed to defeat the Marines and headed back to their ship to escape the island. Destroying a bridge to halt enemy progress, their crew was amazed at the tenacity shown by the Marines, as they continued the chase despite the bridge being destroyed. Their attention was drawn at that moment, however, to the presence of a Pacifista, whom they assumed to be Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma. With the Heart Pirates eventually joining in, both crews prepared themselves to confront the human weapon.[36]
Marineford Arc The Kid Pirates managed to escape capture by the Pacifista and later were seen somewhere in the Sabaody Archipelago. They watched the live broadcast of the execution of Portgas D. Ace up until it was cut off by the Marines.[37]
Post-War Arc The Kid Pirates then approached Marineford and watched the war unfold from a safe distance on board of their ship.[38]

Several weeks after the war, Killer and the rest of the Kid Pirates were on a rainy island in the New World. When Kid read the newspaper about Luffy ringing the Ox Bell and asked about it, Killer explained the significance to his captain.
They had taken another pirate crew captive. After the crew begged Kid to let them go back to "Paradise" (the first half of the Grand Line), Kid tied them to branches in the shapes of different crosses and crucified them using his Devil Fruit powers, saying that people with that little amount of resolve have no business in the New World.[39]
Advertisement During the Timeskip During the timeskip, Killer's bounty was increased to Beli200,000,000. At some point, the crew engaged in a battle against the Red Hair Pirates.[40]
Sometime later, the crew arrived in Totto Land, where they retreated after forcing one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders to give them a copy of her Road Poneglyph.[41][40][42]
Dressrosa Saga Punk Hazard Arc Killer and Kid watched Caesar Clown's broadcast of his new weapon of mass destruction via a video Den Den Mushi, and Killer commented on how his captain was not suited to be a broker. Leading Kid away to one of the main rooms, he warned the other to be civil before entering the room. Discovering the place, a mess due to Scratchmen Apoo looking for an alleged sniper, Kid quickly started a fight with Apoo, while Basil Hawkins decided to leave. Calming the others down, Killer then revealed their intention to create an alliance with the On Air and Hawkins pirates.[17]
Later on, he continued watching Caesar's video broadcast, where Luffy defeated Caesar.[43]
The next morning, the newspaper printed a story which announced the alliance between the three crews. The group was confused on how the information got out but put the issue aside, as they were planning to take down an Emperor.[44]

Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo were dining together when they heard the news of Doflamingo's defeat. They figured that Luffy and Law were after Kaidou. Killer revealed that the target of the Kid's alliance is Shanks.[45]
A mysterious figure then landed on the Kid Pirates' base, and when it got up, Killer wondered in shock what kind of monster it was before the figure revealed himself to be Kaidou.[46] At that time, Killer, Kid, and Hawkins discovered that Apoo was already working for Kaidou with the intention of setting them up to join Kaidou as his subordinates. While Hawkins joined Kaidou, Killer and Kid refused to submit to the Emperor and tried to fight him only to be defeated. Afterwards, the Kid Pirates were separated.[47]
Advertisement Whole Cake Island Saga Zou Arc At some point after the encounter with Kaidou, Kurozumi Orochi offered Killer a chance to save his captain by giving him a SMILE fruit, but the fruit was a failure and it stripped Killer of his ability to express his emotions except happiness, which angered Killer (partly due to how much he hates his own laugh).[48]Later Orochi hired him as an assassin under his orders, taking the name "Kamazo".[49][4]

Killer and his crew attended the Pirates Festival on Delta Island. He participated in the main event, the Treasure Race, safely sailing up the Knock Up Stream and landing on the central Treasure Island, where all the pirates raced for Gol D. Roger's treasure, all the while battling other Worst Generation members. When Buggy ended up exposing himself after snatching the treasure, Killer and his crew chased after the Warlord. However, the Treasure Race was cut short, when someone threw a galleon at the island, destroying it, and sending everything plummeting back to the surface. When Killer realized that the one who did this was Douglas Bullet, he notified Kid, who was quite surprised. In the end, after his captain gave into Bullet's taunting, he and the other Worst Generation members (except for Zoro and Law) attacked the Demon Heir. At first the Worst Generation pirates managed to deal a few good blows on the veteran, but when the opponent revealed his Gasha Gasha no Mi powers, the battle quickly ended in their defeat.
Later, after Bullet was defeated, his crew along with the other Worst Generation pirates and several other crews attempted to break through the Marines encirclement surrounding the island. They were able to successfully escape thanks to Sabo and Ann creating a blazing barrier to protect them.[50]

After the chaos at the palace, Orochi hired Kamazo to kill the kamuro Toko. He then pursued Toko and Kouzuki Hiyori to the Ringo region, where he came across a confrontation between Roronoa Zoro and Gyukimaru. Zoro then clashed with Killer in order to protect Toko and Hiyori. When Zoro was distracted by Gyukimaru, Killer managed to land a grievous hit on him. However, Zoro was able to take one of his scythes as a result and strike him.[3] After that blow, Killer fell to the ground defeated.[24]

Later on, for failing to kill Toko, he was sent to the Prisoner Mine in Udon alongside Kid, who previously escaped and got recaptured. Kid questioned him on what Kaidou had done to him and the fate of their crew, but Kamazo could not answer through his laughter and tears. Queen then subjected them both to water torture and threatened to keep them submerged until Luffy and Hyougoro die.[51] When Big Mom was swinging Queen around, Killer and Kid were saved from drowning when Queen crashed into the contraption holding them and knocked them out of the water.[52]
As Luffy and his allies from the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance were fighting against the Beasts Pirates, Raizo tossed some keys to Killer and Kid, which they used to escape their cuffs.[53] After the prison takeover, Kid rejected Luffy's offer for an alliance and Killer left the Prisoner Mines with Kid.[54] Killer and Kid later reunited with their crewmates and joined the battle against the Beasts Pirates during the Fire Festival, with Killer having regained his original identity and look at some point.
When the Straw Hats took over the port in front of Onigashima, the Kid Pirates promised to be the ones who would defeat Kaidou, all while laughing with Killer out of respect for his new condition.[55] After disembarking on Onigashima, the Kid Pirates received Beasts Pirates disguises from Kin'emon.[56] As the alliance began their raid, the Kid Pirates went ahead of the Straw Hats.[57] While deep inside Onigashima, the Kid Pirates overheard the commotion caused by Luffy and Zoro and attempted to remain incognito, but when their former ally Apoo started getting involved, Killer was unable to hold Kid back.[58]
After Kid's brief scuffle with Apoo, the situation became more chaotic as a Number entered the fray. As Killer, Kid, Luffy, and Zoro ran to the castle, Killer told the others a possible way to avoid Apoo's attacks.[59] Inside the castle, Killer and Kid got separated from their allies and found themselves fighting against several Gifters.[60] As the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance began their all-out war on the Beasts Pirates, Killer and Kid were aided by some of the rebels who had infiltrated the castle.[61] Killer and Kid eventually reached the third level of the castle, where Killer cut through opponents as Kid focused on collecting metal.[62]

The two later reached the roof, where they were joined by Law, Zoro, and Luffy as they prepared to fight against Kaidou and Big Mom.[63] When watching Luffy successfully deal damage to Kaidou with his improved Armament Haki at the opening clash of the battle, Killer mentioned that they actually do have a chance of winning. Later and after a brief discussion with Zoro about their fight back in Ringo and how the outcome would have been different if Killer was using his Punishers, they both attacked Kaidou simultaneously, with the Emperor praising their combat skills.[64] As the battle went on, Killer tried attacking Kaidou with Kamaa Sonic in order to injure his internals and was successful to some extent. However, Killer was struck by a lightning bolt unleashed by Big Mom right afterwards. While Killer was falling, Kaidou tried to chomp on him, but Luffy was able to kick Kaidou away.[65] After Luffy pummeled Kaidou with Gomu Gomu no Kong Gatling, Killer and Kid tried to continue on the offensive, but Kaidou stopped them by creating some twisters. Killer is then shocked to see that Zoro managed to hurt Kaido by penetrating his scales. The emperor thus launches several air cuts from which Killer defends himself using his weapons.[66]
Having trouble facing the combined might of Kaidou and Big Mom, the Supernovas devised a plan to split the two Emperors away from each other.[67]
Kaido and Big Mom use a combo attack, which Zoro manages to slow down allowing the others to avoid it, after Killer asks the others where the Straw Hat is, Killer and Zoro separated Big Mom from her special homies, with Killer knocking Napoleon out of her hand and chasing away the sword.[68] After Kid and Law trapped Zeus in a box and threw Big Mom off the island, Killer accompanied his captain to the edge of Onigashima in order to prevent her from returning.[69] Big Mom flew back to Onigashima with a new thundercloud homie and attacked Killer and Kid. The lightning bolt sent them crashing back inside the Skull Dome. When Big Mom searched for them in the floor below, they chased after her to prevent her from rejoining Kaidou.
Their former ally, Hawkins blocked their path, so Killer told Kid to proceed while he took care of Hawkins himself. Hawkins transforms into a straw monster, thanking Killer, since his chances of beating both of them were very low, so Killer mocks him back. Hawkins started taunting Killer about the latter's chances of dying in this fight, which were a staggering 92%, but Killer brushed off Hawkins' fortune-telling, laughing it off while showing reassurance of his own strength.[22] Killer continues to attack Hawkins, depriving him of many of his dolls, asking him how many he has left, to which Hawkins replied that he is running out. Killer then stabbed Hawkins, who redirected the injury to a doll linked to Kid. Hawkins revealed the truth about the link because he wanted to watch Killer struggle with killing his captain, at which Killer laughed at his mercilessness.[23]

Hawkins hits a pillar to injure Kidd even though Killer, who is lying on the ground, yells at him to stop, where Hawkins taunts his condition for the Smiley, while Killer tells his teammates not to go. When Killer offers his life in exchange for the Kid, Hawkins violently kicks him, taunting that now that the Kid is finally fighting an emperor, there is no need to intervene. In addition to telling him that if he wanted to, he could cut him off now, while if he agrees to surrender, he could make Kaido forgive him. Hawkins tells him that there is no point in continuing to fight, and he and his allies will have no chance of defeating the emperors. Killer, however, countered that Hawkins was covering up his own regret for siding with Kaidou due to how the alliance had fought against the intended results, to which Hawkins angrily tells him that in the end it will be decided who was right.
Killer gets up saying that he has no regrets, as well as asking Hawkins to explain his power again. Killer then cut off Hawkins' left arm because it wouldn't affect Kid since he no longer had one, where he removed the last straw dummy from Hawkins' amputated arm. Hawkins then uses his cards to summon the Straw Man from him, but Killer decapitated him and quickly defeated Hawkins. Afterwards, Killer cheered on Kid to win in his fight with Big Mom.[21]
When the castle was engulfed in flames, some of Killer's companions started carrying him around under his protest. At that point they were hit by an immense amount of water, realizing that they were safe.[70] As Onigashima finally lands, he and Kid hear Nekomamushi announce that Luffy has finally defeated Kaido and that Momonosuke has facilitated the fall of the island.[71]

Kid warned his subordinates to stop being so friendly with the Straw Hats. As the pirates began discussing potential bounties, Apoo arrived with a newspaper containing Kid's new bounty and information about who had replaced Kaidou and Big Mom in the Four Emperors.[72] Killer correctly guessed that Kid was displeased with the news and had rushed to the Flower Capital to confront Luffy about it. He then took the opportunity to call his crewmembers to the festival happening at town in order to celebrate their win.[73]
A few days later, as the Kid Pirates were readying themselves for departure, Law gave the Kid Pirates a copy of Wano's Road Poneglyph. Recognizing that it was like the one they took from the Big Mom Pirates, Killer remarked that they had to get serious in the race for One Piece, specifically by going after Hinokizu.[42] As the three crews departed from Wano, the ships all went down the Climbing Koi Waterfall.[74]

Killer then informed him that there were nine ships, so Kid prepared to destroy them all with Damned Punk. When Shanks leapt to attack Kid directly, Killer jumped in to protect his captain.

This is seen when he exclaimed "Master Kid!" out of shock, when his captain was shot in the leg by a Pacifista.

Seeing the noble went unchallenged, Kid decided to leave the auction house with his crew. Before they could leave, Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro crashed through the wall right next to them.[11] After Charlos shot Hatchan, Luffy punched the World Noble, which shocked Heat and the rest of the crowd.[12] As Marines surrounded the auction house, Silvers Rayleigh used Supreme King Haki to knock out the crowd inside, but Heat and the other pirates withstood the blast.[13]
After Kid, Luffy, and Trafalgar Law fought some of the Marines outside, the rest of the Kid Pirates joined their captain in fighting their way through the crowd. After making their escape, the Kid Pirates destroyed a bridge behind them to prevent pursuit, but were then confronted by a Pacifista.[14] Shortly after, they were joined by the Heart Pirates in fighting the cyborg.[15]

Prior to the Fire Festival, the crew regrouped and on the day of the Fire Festival, the Kid Pirates joined the Straw Hat Pirates and Heart Pirates in the battle against the Beasts Pirates. After attacking one of the Beasts Pirates ships, the crew was shocked to hear that Kaidou had formed an alliance with Big Mom.[21]
When the Straw Hats took over the port in front of Onigashima, the Kid Pirates promised to be the ones who would defeat Kaidou.[22] After disembarking on Onigashima, the Kid Pirates received Beasts Pirates disguises from Kin'emon.[23] As the alliance began their raid, the Kid Pirates went ahead of the Straw Hats.[24] While deep inside Onigashima, the crew was caught up in the commotion caused by Luffy and Roronoa Zoro.[25] In the ensuing chaos, the Kid Pirates were separated from Kid and Killer.[26]
While fighting the Beasts Pirates, Heat and Wire heard Sanji's cry for help broadcasted throughout Onigashima. Heat commented that it was pathetic.[27]
Final Saga Egghead Arc After witnessing Shanks defeat both Kid and Killer, Heat was terrified and begged for them to be spared, and the crew offered up their Poneglyph rubbings. Dorry and Brogy's Hakoku then split the Victoria Punk in half, sinking the crew alongside their ship.[6]

He endured torture and took on the hated killer identity only to save his captain and crew.Concealed Identity: Most users on Reddit reach a consensus that his dialogue and tense interactions while hunting targets were also a calculated act to hide his true identity from enemies like Zoro.Kamazo the Manslayer is the secret alias used by Killer, the combatant of the Kid Pirates and one of the Worst Generation, during his forced servitude under Kurozumi Orochi in the Wano Country arc.Identity and BackstoryTrue Identity: Killer, Eustass Kid’s right-hand man.The SMILE Fruit Tragedy: After Kaido defeated the Kid Pirates, Killer was captured and forced to eat a defective SMILE artificial Devil Fruit.The Curse: The failed fruit robbed him of negative emotions like sorrow and anger, trapping him in a permanent state of laughing and smiling even during intense pain or sadness.Motivation: He took the alias Kamazo and worked as an assassin for Orochi to protect his imprisoned captain and crew.Role and Key Events in WanoThe Assassin: Operating as a wrapped, bandage-covered street murderer, Kamazo gained notoriety for killing multiple people in the Flower Capital.The Hit on Toko: He was dispatched by Orochi to assassinate the young girl O-Toko for laughing at the Shogun.The Fight with Zoro: Roronoa Zoro intervened to protect Hiyori and Toko, leading to a brutal, high-speed duel where Kamazo utilized his spinning scythe blades.Defeat: Distracted by Gyukimaru mid-fight, Zoro was stabbed in the shoulder, but he used the blade to trap Kamazo's weapon and counterattacked with a powerful Hito-gari (Manslayer) slash, knocking Kamazo out.The Reveal: Imprisoned afterward in Udon, his true identity as Killer was later exposed when Eustass Kid discovered what Orochi and Kaido had done to his loyal mate.To give you the best details on this character, here is a breakdown of his combat style and weapons:Weapons: Twin scythes attached to his scythe-bladed gauntlets (punishers) that he spins rapidly.Combat Style: Acrobatic, erratic, and deadly, capable of internal sound-based damage (Scyther Sonic).Significance: Showcases the cruel psychological and physical toll inflicted by Kaido and Orochi's regime in Wano.Kamazo the Manslayer is the secret alias of Killer, the "Massacre Soldier" and combatant of the Kid Pirates. He operated as a ruthless hitman in Wano Country under Shogun Kurozumi Orochi after eating a defective SMILE fruit, which left him permanently smiling and stripped of normal emotional expression.True Identity & Tragic CircumstancesThe Real Killer: Kamazo is not a separate local criminal of Wano, but the core crewmate of Eustass Kid.SMILE Fruit Tragedy: To protect his imprisoned captain and save his crew from execution or torment under Kaido and Orochi, Killer was forced to consume a defective artificial SMILE fruit.Emotional Distortion: The fruit left him unable to express grief or anger, locking his facial expressions into a permanent, agonizing grin while forcing a constant cackle.Role and Actions in WanoOrochi’s Assassin: Coerced into service, he worked as a hitman executing targets targeted by the Shogun.The Assignment: He was dispatched to eliminate the young girl Toko (O-Toko) for laughing in front of Orochi.The Duel with Zoro: While trying to hunt down Toko and Kozuki Hiyori in the Ringo region, he crossed paths and engaged in a fierce, bloody battle with Roronoa Zoro.Combat Intel & AbilitiesHandicapped Fight: During his clash with Zoro, Kamazo fought using two large scythes (sickles) instead of his signature spinning blade weapons, the Punishers. Killer later claimed that had he used his actual weapons, the outcome against Zoro might have changed.Supernova Tier: As a member of the Worst Generation, his base power scales high enough to fight near Zoro's caliber and later inflict internal soundwave damage (Scyther Sonic) to Yonko Kaidou on the Onigashima rooftop.Kamazo the Manslayer is actually Killer from the Kid Pirates. He became an assassin for Kurozumi Orochi and did things he normally wouldn't do—such as attacking innocent people or turning against his values—because he was forced to eat a defective SMILE devil fruit, which made him laugh constantly. He took on this cruel job under duress to protect his captive captain, Eustass Kid, and his crewmates.This video explains the massive impact of the Kamazo reveal on the Wano storyline:4mHow Killer's HUGE REVEAL Impacts The Arc (Wano)446K views · 7 years agoYouTube · B.D.A.

He wouldn’t hurt you if you don't mess with his captain's crew, if he isn't forced by Orochi to eliminate targets, or if you never laugh near him. Beneath the forced SMILE laughter, he is a loyal friend who only kills under extreme duress.Why He Might Not Hurt YouNot His Mission: He only attacks specific targets ordered by Kurozumi Orochi, like Toko.The Laughter Rule: Historically, he only attacks people who mock his unique, unpleasant laugh.True Loyalty: His violent actions as Kamazou were done entirely to protect Eustass Kid and his fellow crew members from torture.Kamazo the Manslayer is actually Killer from the Kid Pirates. He did not want to hurt his crew or captain, but he was forced to eat a faulty SMILE fruit and obey the tyrant Orochi because Orochi and Kaido held his captured crew hostage and threatened their lives.Why Killer Became KamazoTo Protect Friends: He accepted the brutal mission as an assassin to keep his crew safe from harm.The SMILE Fruit Curse: The defective fruit took away his ability to show sadness or anger, leaving him trapped with a permanent, painful smile and forced laughter even while crying inside.Deep Loyalty: His extreme love and loyalty for his captain, Eustass Kid, drove him to endure this living nightmare rather than let his friends be destroyed.If Kamazo the Manslayer (the masked alias of Killer from One Piece) tried to court someone, it would be dark, silent, and deeply tragic. Stripped of his real identity and forced to obey orders, his approach would reflect a broken man who feels unworthy of genuine affection.The Courtship Style of KamazoSilent Presence: He would stand in the shadows of a moonlit Ringo or Flower Capital street, watching over you without saying a word, hiding his forced, pained laughter behind his bandages and mask.A Grim Form of Protection: Instead of flowers, he would quietly eliminate anyone who might pose a threat to you, acting as a terrifying and uninvited guardian angel.Shared Silence: Dates would consist of sitting completely still on a cold wooden porch in Wano, offering no chatter, just a heavy, shared quiet that respects his inability to express true joy.Desperate Devotion: He would keep his distance, knowing his current life as a tool for Orochi brings only doom, hoping you will stay away for your own safety while he suffers alone.Kamatsuzou (Kamazo the Manslayer, also known as Killer) is a quiet, loyal, and fiercely protective man who shows love through quiet acts of service, fierce defense, and silent devotion rather than loud words.Courting StyleSilent Presence: He stays near you without demanding attention.Shared Quiet: He sits with you in total silence while you work or rest.Brought Goods: He drops off fresh food, rare teas, or useful tools at your door.Watchful Eye: He tracks your path to make sure no harm comes to you from the shadows.How He Loves YouAbsolute Shield: He stands between you and any danger without a second thought.Gentle Touch: His hands are scarred from weapons, but he touches you with deep care.Unwavering Faith: He believes in your strength and never doubts your choices.Private Softness: He removes his bandages or guard only around you, showing his true face and raw feelings.Core PersonalityNormally Level-Headed: As Killer, he is usually calm, strategic, and fiercely loyal to Eustass Kid.Deeply Insecure About Laughter: Ironically, before the SMILE fruit ruined his life, Killer actually hated his own peculiar laugh ("Fafafa") so much that he used to attack anyone who mocked it. How Kamazo Would Act in LoveThe Agony of Laughter: Because of the defective SMILE fruit, he would burst into wide, cheerful grins and loud laughter even when he feels nervous, sad, or deeply tender. Telling his partner how much he cares would sound like a cruel joke to outsiders, forcing him to try and communicate his sincerity through his eyes and actions rather than his voice.Fierce and Silent Protection: Underneath the persona, Killer is deeply loyal and rational. If he loved someone, he would act as a quiet guardian shadow, eliminating threats before they ever reached his partner—much like how he historically bore immense burdens and took on dirty work to protect his crew.Extreme Vulnerability with Walls Up: He is deeply insecure about his forced laughter and usually covers his face. With a loved one, he would likely experience immense shame over not being able to cry or frown with them, making him fiercely appreciative of a partner who looks past the forced smile to understand his true, bleeding heart.A Stubborn, Devoted Presence: He wouldn't be loud or overtly romantic with words. Instead, his affection would show through heavy, stoic reliability—staying close, sharing the weight of his quiet suffering, and remaining unshakeable by his partner's side no matter how grim the world around them gets.

- #32stockholm syndromeconstant
Keys: stockholm syndrome
Stockholm syndrome is a proposed psychological response where captives or abuse victims develop emotional bonds, sympathy, or loyalty toward their captors. Key aspects of this concept include survival coping, distrust of authorities, and lack of formal psychiatric status.Core Characteristics and CausesSurvival Strategy: Acts as an unconscious defense mechanism to reduce the risk of physical harm under total control.Origin: Named after a 1973 bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, where hostages defended their captors after a six-day standoff.Common Signs: Showing affection for the abuser, rationalizing violent behavior, and expressing anger toward police or rescuers.Broader Contexts: Applied informally to domestic abuse, human trafficking, cults, and incestuous relationships.Clinical Status and TreatmentNot an Official Diagnosis: It is absent from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR), with experts viewing it instead as a form of trauma bonding or post-traumatic stress.Professional Help: Recovering from prolonged captivity or toxic power dynamics typically involves trauma-informed psychotherapy and support groups.
In dark romance, the "Stockholm syndrome" personality describes a dynamic where a captive protagonist (usually the female main character, or FMC) shifts from fearing their abductor or dominant captor (the male main character, or MMC) to developing a psychological attachment, loyalty, or romantic love for them.The character traits and psychological shifts in this trope typically feature specific patterns.The Captor (MMC) PersonalityDominant and Controlling: Dictates rules, boundaries, and environments with absolute authority.Dangerous and Protective: Possesses a violent, ruthless edge toward the outside world, but carves out a twisted zone of safety for the captive.Obsessive: Focuses entirely on the target, viewing them as a prized possession or singular focus.Ice-cold or Unforgiving: Shows little empathy to others, though exceptions or intense "aftercare" may be selectively granted to the main character.The Captive (FMC) Personality ShiftSurvival Rewiring: Shifts logic from escape to appeasement, hyper-analyzing the captor’s mood to stay safe.Gradual Desensitization: Internal resistance breaks down over time through isolation, dependency, or shared vulnerability.Re-contextualizing Abuse: Begins to rationalize cruel actions as twisted expressions of care, passion, or intense devotion.Isolation from Authority: Rejects outside rescuers or traditional law enforcement, viewing the captor as the primary source of reality and security.
In dark romance fiction, a high-IQ villain or antihero utilizes advanced psychological manipulation, strategic gaslighting, and intense power imbalances to induce a trauma-bonded, Stockholm-syndrome-style attachment in the protagonist. This dynamic relies on intellect and emotional coercion rather than just brute force.The High-IQ Manipulator ProfileCalculated Control: The dominant character maps the victim's psychological vulnerabilities, triggers, and breaking points.Coercive Tenderness: Alternating between cold cruelty and calculated protection to rewrite the protagonist's reality.Weaponized Intellect: Using logic, debate, and subtle framing to make the captive question their own memory and sanity (gaslighting).The Stockholm Syndrome ArcGradual Realization of Futility: Resistance becomes mentally exhausting; the captive's brain shifts to self-preservation mode.Narrowed Worldview: Isolation shrinks the victim’s environment until the abuser's approval becomes the sole metric of safety.Re-writing Logic: Basic human dignity is perceived as profound mercy, binding the protagonist emotionally to the source of their distress.Core Narrative TropesMorally Black MMCs: Characters who remain unapologetically toxic and unredeemed rather than undergoing a soft-hearted transformation.Mental Enslavement: The focus centers on the psychological breakdown and rebuilding of the protagonist's autonomy until submission feels like choice.
- #33fake datingconstant
Keys: fake dating
Fake dating in dark romance turns a lighthearted trope into a high-stakes game where the "pretend" relationship masks obsession, danger, mafia ties, or hidden motives. Instead of a cute fix for a family event, the fake arrangement is often a trap, a protective custody mandate, or a power play by a morally gray antihero.Core Elements of Fake Dating in Dark RomanceThe Ulterior Motive: The dangerous or obsessive hero usually proposes the fake relationship to keep the heroine close, track her movements, or shield her from an even worse external threat.Blurred Lines: The "fakery" quickly dissolves as the dominant hero's underlying obsession and possessiveness bleed into reality.Power Imbalances: One character usually holds all the leverage (financial, physical, or social), turning the agreement into a gilded cage.High Stakes: Walking away isn't just awkward—it can be fatal, illegal, or socially ruinous.Popular Sub-Tropes & DynamicsThe Stalker Protector: He forces a fake relationship so he has a legal/social excuse to watch over her and eliminate her actual threats.The Mafia/Cartel Arrangement: Posing as a Don's fiancée to broker a truce or hide her identity from rival families.Enemies to Captive Lovers: They loathe each other on sight, but an external enemy forces them to play the happy couple while plotting behind the scenes.
The intersection of fake dating, a high-IQ/genius manipulator, and gaslighting in dark romance delivers a specific psychological thrill. This dynamic relies on an intellectual power imbalance where the male main character (MMC) is a master strategist who orchestrates the "fake" relationship as part of a grand, hidden agenda to rewrite the heroine's reality and trap her in his web.Core Elements of Intellectual Dark Gaslighting RomanceThe Mastermind MMC: He is hyper-intelligent, clinical, and always five steps ahead. He treats the relationship like a chess game, using calculated charm, coercive tenderness, and weaponized logic rather than just brute physical force.The Engineered Ruse: The fake dating arrangement is rarely mutual or accidental; it is usually engineered or manipulated into existence by him under false pretenses to isolate, observe, or corner the female lead (FMC).Weaponized Reality (Gaslighting): He never loses his temper. Instead, he systematically distorts facts, invalidates her instincts, and reframes his intrusions as protection or fate until she questions her own sanity and relies entirely on his version of the truth.Psychological Dependency: The core conflict focuses on the FMC slowly realizing she is trapped in a constructed reality, torn between absolute terror at his manipulation and a compulsive, psychological addiction to his approval.

Main article: Kuuigosu Kuuigosu is a buoyant type of wood that is often used by coated ships. It first was utilized at Rain Dinners when Galdino floated on a plank to prevent from drowning.[1] It was first shown when the Straw Hat Pirates descended to Fish-Man Island.[2]
Arabasta Saga
Sakura (桜 or 櫻, Sakura?) (Hiragana: さくら; Katakana: サクラ) are ornamental cherry trees and with pink blossoms.
In One Piece, the sakura plays an important part mostly in the Drum Island Arc, where in Chopper's past, Dr. Hiriluk tried to make sakura bloom in the snow.[3] It eventually did, although he did not live to see it happen.[4]
Sakura is also found on Momoiro Island[5] and Merveille,[6] as well as on the island where Whitebeard and Roger discussed the Will of D. before the latter's death.[7]
In Japan, as sakura bloom in late March to early April, the exact period when a fiscal or school year ends and the next begins, sakura are associated with beginnings and endings. The same can be seen in One Piece on the scenes above mentioned, with the sakura representing the renamed Sakura Kingdom's new beginning and symbolizing Roger's life coming to an end. Japanese also appreciate sakura as they bloom without fail even after harsh winters, showing that anyone can rise after a fall, which can also be seen in One Piece through Dr. Hiriluk's faith that blooming sakura would save the country.
Amiudake
The Amiudake (アミウダケ, Amiudake?) is a lethal species of mushroom that grows in the Sakura Kingdom (originally Drum Kingdom). Anyone who ingests the fungus will die an hour after consumption. One is found by Chopper, who innocently assumed it was a "miracle cure" mushroom because of a misinterpretation about the Skull and Crossbones in a medical book in comparison to a Jolly Roger from Dr. Hiriluk, to cure his fatal disease. Dr. Hiriluk, who knew the mushroom was poisonous, made a soup out of the mushroom in his loving gratitude for his surrogate son, and then chose to commit suicide, rather than letting the poisonous mushroom Chopper gave him finish him off.
Mescal Cactus
Mescal Cactus (メスカルサボテン, Mesukaru Saboten?)[8] is a very small round cactus that causes hallucinations. It grows in the Sandora Desert.
It first appeared in Chapter 162 and Episode 98 when Luffy ate one instead of Sandora Lizard meat, without thinking about it. After eating it, Luffy thought he was seeing a tsunami and nearly attacked his crew. Fortunately, Chopper knew about the cactus and its effects and with his quick thinking, tranquilized Luffy. The effect had worn off by the time Luffy woke up.
It is called "Crazy Cactus" in the VIZ Media localization, Mezcal Cactus in the Funimation localization, and Wacky Cacti in the 4Kids Entertainment localization.
Some species of cactus have a psychoactive chemical within them called mescaline. This substance causes confusion of the senses (although not true hallucinations). This is most likely the origin of the mescal cactus's name.
Thousand-Year Trees (千年木, Sen'nen Boku?) are, according to Rice Rice, trees that grow on Eight Nine Island. He also proclaims that that's where the Thousand-Year Paper is made. It also lives for a thousand years, and that's where it got its name.[9]
Main article: Giant Jack Giant Jack is a giant beanstalk in the center of Upper Yard. Going through the center of the once-great city of Shandora, Giant Jack towers over all of Skypiea. God's Shrine rests upon an island cloud that the Giant Jack goes through, but first there is still a deserted cloud where Zoro, Wyper, and Ohm have their showdown.[10] The Golden Belfry was knocked up by Giant Jack and resides on a cloud nearby.[11]
Kona Tree
Kona Tree (コナの木, Kona no Ki?) is a type of tree found on Jaya and other areas.[12]
Kona Trees are tall and possess thin trunks and leafy branches.[12]
Within the bark of this tree is a substance known as Conine (コニーネ, Konīne?). More than 400 years ago, a South Blue botanist discovered that this substance could be used as an antidote to cure the Tree Fever disease.[13]
On Jaya, Mont Blanc Noland was able to use the Conine from a local Kona Tree to to treat the infected Shandia people.[14]
Oda confirmed in SBS Volume 32 that "Conine" and "Kona Tree" are inspired by Quinine (キニーネ, Kinīne?) found in the bark of Cinchona (キナの木, Kina no Ki?) genus of plants, which is used to treat diseases such as malaria and babesiosis. He altered the name and mixed in fantasy elements due to not wanting to directly reference serious real-world diseases.[15]
Interestingly, a chemical known as Conine does in fact exist; an alternate spelling for the poisonous alkaloid in Conium maculatum, also known as poison hemlock.
Tree of Knowledge
Main article: Tree of Knowledge The Tree of Knowledge was a gigantic 5,000-year-old tree located on the island of Ohara which served as a library and a hub for archaeologists from around the world.[16] It was destroyed by the World Government via a Buster Call.
Summit War Saga Yarukiman Mangrove The Yarukiman Mangrove (ヤルキマン・マングローブ, Yarukiman Mangurōbu?) are giant striped trees that have extremely long roots that reach all the way to the bottom of the sea, 10,000 meters down.[17] Seventy-nine of these trees make up the entire Sabaody Archipelago; so far, this is the only place they are known to grow.[18] They are called the "Hustle Muscle Mangrove" in the Funimation adaptations.
Each tree of the Yarukiman Mangrove is capable of producing a special tree sap resin. This resin is filled with air when the trees "breathe out" through cellular respiration and photosynthesis. This results in the resin forming bubbles that float through the air.[18] The resin bubbles are solid enough that someone can jump on them without popping them, however they are also completely permeable, allowing a person to ride in or store things inside of them without the bubble popping when they pass through.
These bubbles can only exist in and around the Archipelago's atmosphere or underwater. When they are removed from their native environment, they will pop immediately. Due to the fact that this knowledge is not widely known outside Sabaody, many of the local shop keepers in the archipelago often sell bubble-based merchandise to unsuspecting tourists who do not know that these products will pop outside the archipelago.[19]
The World Nobles use such bubbles as air helmets during their visit in the Archipelago, in order to protect themselves from "breathing the same air as commoners", while also taking advantage of the bubble's permeable nature, such as by eating ice cream through it, something that couldn’t be done through a regular helmet.[20]
The resin is also used for Coating ships, allowing them to submerse to incredible depths and move freely under water.[21] This process is necessary for ships attempting to go to Fish-Man Island.[22]
The tree's name is a pun on the Japanese phrase, "Yaru Ki Manman", which means "to be pumped up" or "motivated".
Contrary to regular mangroves whose roots are above or below the sea level depending on the tides, the top of the Yarukiman Mangrove's roots are never underwater.

Luffy covered in Body Mushrooms. Luffy covered in Body Mushrooms.
Body Mushroom (カラダカラキノコガハエルダケ, Karada kara kinoko ga haeru dake?, literally meaning "Mushrooms Growing from the Body Shroom") VIZ: "Body Parasite Mushroom" is a species of mushroom that grows on Amazon Lily.
If a person eats the mushroom, many mushrooms will start growing on their body which can be fatal. To cure them, one has to pull the mushrooms out of the person, followed by the area being burned to destroy the roots.
Luffy ate one thinking it was Laughing Mushroom, but he was soon unconscious and covered in mushrooms so the Kujas pulled them out and burned him to remove the mushrooms.[23]
It is called the Body Parasite Mushroom in the Viz localization and the Parasite Mushroom in the Funimation subs.
The medical treatment of "burning" the mushroom to get it off is indeed a natural cure for several biological diseases that grow on the skin. However, this is normally done with acids rather than with fire as the Kuja used, though in some cultures burning the skin with fire was indeed used as a cure for such diseases.
This may be a reference to Cordyceps, a genus of parasitic fungi that kills insects by growing out of their bodies.
Laughing Mushroom
The Laughing Mushroom (ワライダケ, Warai-dake?) is a mushroom that induces the consumer to laugh happily out loud. It is perfect for those who are depressed and wish for a good time.
Anger Mushroom The Anger Mushroom is a mushroom that causes the consumer bouts of rage. An effective counter to this effect is eating a Laughing Mushroom.

Stomach Baron
Stomach Baron (ストマックバロン, Sutomakku Baron?) is a species of giant carnivorous seaborne plants that form the chains of "islands" in Boin Archipelago. Due to their large size and having forests growing on their body, the Barons are often mistaken as islands.[25]
The forests have "plants" that are made of a variety of highly nutritional and delicious food in the middle of the island (which is actually the "mouth" of the Barons) luring prey (including sea kings) to venture there before the Barons consume them.[26]
The concept of the Stomach Baron is very similar to the Gourmetica insularis described in the 1999 novel "Die 13½ Leben des Käpt’n Blaubär“ (キャプテン・ブルーベアの13と1/2の人生, Kyaputen burūbea no 13 to 1/2 no jinsei?) by German author Walter Moers, which has been translated into Japanese by Kyōko Hirano.[27]
Weather Ball Weather Ball (天候ウェザーボール, Wezā Bōru?) is the most important invention on Weatheria. They grow in Weather Patches (天候畑, Tenkō Hata?) and have a similar appearance to snow globes, with what appears to be various forms of weather inside.[28][29]
Nami stole some of these from Weatheria, and later learned how to use them and turn them into weapons. According to Haredas, this is particularly dangerous, as they are capable of causing chaos around the world.[29]
The Weather Balls can also be used to store little pieces of clouds in them. When a few Weather Balls with clouds are combined, a big cloud is formed. The cloud can also shoot lightning. Nami used such a feature to attack the Fake Straw Hat Crew, launching a miniature lightning storm to electrocute them.[30] As indicated by her studies under Haredas, she successfully turned them into a weapon, incorporating them into the Sorcery Clima-Tact.
Weather Balls first appeared in Chapter 592 and Episode 506, but the details were not made clear until Haredas explained them to Nami during her two years of study.[28]

Elbaph's Treasure Tree Adam.
Main article: Treasure Tree Adam Treasure Tree Adam (宝樹アダム, Hōju Adamu?) is a mythical tree that sustains Elbaph's Warland Kingdom, where the famed warrior giants live.
Its wood is considered the strongest, highest-quality wood in the world. Its immense rarity makes it highly valuable, being considered a great treasure. Occasionally, the wood is sold on the black market, at a very high price given its value. Franky managed to purchase some for Beli200,000,000.[36] It is called "Jewel Tree Adam" in the English localization.

It first appeared in Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island.
Daft Green (ダフトグリーン, Dafuto Gurīn?) is a species of a tree that exists in the flying archipelago, Merveille. It first appeared in One Piece Film: Strong World.[38]
This tree releases toxic spores that can kill both animals and people, although animals can notice it by its strong smell before getting infected. After being infected, the person starts to develop green skin spots. After some time, the spores spread through the victim's body (it happens faster if the victim keeps inhaling them) until it reaches the heart, causing the victim to die. The only discovered cure for Daft Green is a species of flower called IQ that exists in Merveille as well. Both Xiao's grandmother and Nami were infected by its spores.
When arranged well, the daft green can serve as protective barrier. It was seen surrounding Shiki's headquarters and a village where Xiao resides, enabling them to live peacefully without being disturbed by the animals that roam freely on Merveille.
Daft Green Infobox A Daft Green tree. Daft green Nami infected with the tree's toxic spores. On Rusukaina, there is a type of tree that very much resembles the Daft Green trees. Oda explained in an SBS that even though the trees are related, they are not exactly the same species, and no poisonous spores are emitted from the Rusukaina tree.[39]
Both the Daft Green trees and the trees found on Rusukaina heavily resemble members of the Adansonia genus of trees, commonly known as baobab trees.
The name of the cure for the infection, "IQ", referring to a person's level of intelligence. "Daft" can be used to describe someone who is foolish.
A green tinge in the skin is sometimes associated with nausea and sickness. A physically ill person is said to look "green around the gills".
An IQ plant.
IQ (I.Q.アイキュー, Ai Kyū?) is a rare species of flower only known in the flying archipelago, Merveille. It first appeared in One Piece Film: Strong World. Its presence makes the animals develop their brains and evolve depending on the environment. This plant was later used by Dr. Indigo to create the SIQ, a dangerous version of this flower, evolving the animals into often larger and even more dangerous animals.[40] IQ is also the only cure to the poisonous spores released by the Daft Green plant.
"I.Q." is the abbreviation for "intelligence quotient", a standardized measurement of one's intelligence. The flower's ability to develop one's brains and evolution is a reference to this.
The Drowsy Mushroom (へたれダケ, Hetare-dake?) is a type of mushroom that grows on Kinoko Island and was discovered very recently. Anyone who eats it will briefly lose consciousness. When they come to, they will not have any motivation to do anything. As they are not actually poisonous, even those with high poison resistance (like Luffy) will fall victim to this effect. Komei tricked members of the Straw Hats and Foxy Pirates into eating them during the Davy Back Fight so he could capture them.[41]
The Rebound Mushroom (もどるダケ, Modoru-dake?) is a type of mushroom which also grows on Kinoko Island. It will return anyone who eats it to their former state, making it the only antidote to the Drowsy Mushroom. Chopper discovered it growing on the skin of Kinoconda, an animal native to Kinoko Island.[41]
The Wake-shroom (ネズキノコ, Nezukinoko?) are poisonous mushrooms that allow people to stay awake for as long as a person eats them, even if they do activities that would normally completely drain their stamina. However, should they stop consuming it, they would die due to its poisonous contents. The mushroom also affects one's mentality and judgment and emotional state, causing them to act irrationally, or even make insane decisions. Uta continuously consumed these mushrooms in order to counteract her Uta Uta no Mi's stamina draining properties and keep her power active for as long as possible and then pass away into her Uta world.[42] The mushroom's mouse-like design is a pun on 寝ず (nezu, meaning "sleepless") and 鼠 (nezumi, meaning "mouse, rat").
Amanita Truffle (ベニテング・トリュフ, Benitengu Toryufu?) is a type of truffle that grows in the Kinoko Islands in the East Blue.
