Breed leads the Breed Pirates and stands as the antagonist of the anime-exclusive Caesar Retrieval Arc. His Devil Fruit lets him fit collars onto any living being and force it into obedience, fueling his fantasy of ruling a world filled with subservient animals.
Styled like a circus ringleader, Breed wears a fur-lined blue jacket atop a blue-and-white ringmaster's costume, topped with a green monocle and a red bow tie. He has an ordinary build, with broad shoulders set above slender arms and a squared jaw. His features include curly brows, a black mustache and goatee, prominent teeth, large earlobes, and purple eyes. Drawing out his true power turns his hair purple.
Haughty, self-serving, and brutal, Breed obsesses to the point of madness over converting people and beasts alike into his obedient "pets," insisting on absolute submission and erupting in fury whenever defied. He readily whips those who resist and regards friendship with bitter scorn, the legacy of a crew that once turned on him and cast him aside. The animals he controls he treats as expendable tools, the Sea Animal Pirates among them. Strangely, he develops a smothering, babying attachment to Chopper's Brain Point, calling him "Chappy" and forcing him into degrading frilly outfits. Humans he loathes for their defiance and favors beasts for their compliance, plotting to use Caesar's SMILE fruits to remake all of humanity into animals under his rule. His laugh, "Petotototo," derives from his fruit.
Breed comes nowhere close to the strength of Worst Generation figures such as Luffy and Law, but he is cunning and opportunistic, turning the bodies of those he enslaves against his foes and snaring enemies when their guard drops. He ate a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Peto Peto no Mi, which lets his hands secrete a green gel; flinging a glob forms a collar that cannot be removed, compelling its wearer to obey any order they actually hear. The collars work on people, land beasts, and sea creatures alike, so he can raise an army, pin down opponents, and even drive captives to fight one another until death. He is likewise able to order any victim, himself included, to push their body to its limit, and he keeps a whip for punishment. Cast adrift after his own crew mutinied, Breed came upon the Sea Animal Pirates, a band under a Kung-Fu Dugong's command, and bound them into pets. During the Caesar Retrieval Arc he abducted Caesar Clown, collared Luffy, Law, and Chopper, and laid out his scheme to mass-produce SMILE fruits. It unraveled when Law exploited the fruit's flaw with earplugs; Breed then collared himself for a strength boost but lost his grip on his minions and was overcome when Luffy and the dugong struck him together.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
No, Breed is not canon. He is a non-canon character who serves as the antagonist of the anime-exclusive Caesar Retrieval Arc, leading the Breed Pirates.
Yes, Luffy defeats Breed. After Trafalgar Law exploits a flaw in Breed's Devil Fruit using earplugs, Breed collars himself for a strength boost but loses control of his minions, and Luffy and a Kung-Fu Dugong strike him down together.
Breed abducted Caesar Clown and collared Luffy, Trafalgar Law, and Chopper while pursuing a plan to mass-produce SMILE fruits, but his scheme collapsed when Law countered his Devil Fruit's weakness, leading to Breed's defeat during the Caesar Retrieval Arc.
Breed ate the Peto Peto no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that lets his hands secrete a gel forming inescapable collars. Anyone wearing one, whether human, land beast, or sea creature, is compelled to obey any order they hear.
Breed is obsessed with converting people and animals into obedient pets, a fixation rooted in his own crew mutinying against and abandoning him. He plotted to use Caesar's SMILE fruits to remake humanity into animals under his control.
