Appearance

The first thing anyone notices about Times is the enormous red, beak-shaped nose dominating his face. A slim orange mustache sweeps up toward his ears above a small, sharply pointed beard, and his orange hair rises into a plume at the back. He races in a brown helmet marked with a central red stripe, goggles clipped to it, and a red collared shirt.

Personality

Times is a single-minded competitor who locks his attention onto the track and the fight for first place. Pulling ahead of Kent Beef Jr. was enough to bring a satisfied grin to his face.

History

Times entered the Turtle Car Race held in the main casino of Gran Tesoro. Once three rivals wrecked, he seized the lead from Kent Beef Jr., and the two ran wheel to wheel for much of the contest. The Straw Hat Pirates then managed to get their own car back onto the course, and in the end they edged past both Times and Beef at the line by mere centimeters.
