Appearance

Kid stands tall and heavily muscled, his skin pale and his short red hair spiking upward in a way that calls to mind fire. The nose juts to a point with small bumps along each flank, while his lips carry a dark purplish tint, his eyes glow orange (rendered red in the manga), and he goes without eyebrows. Black polish coats his nails.

His wardrobe runs to the flamboyant: lizard-patterned trousers in black and yellow edged with a red fringe, a blue sash worn beneath a green belt whose round buckle bears a four-leaf-clover motif, and motorcycle boots on his feet. A thin bandolier studded with tiny bolts crosses from his right shoulder down to the waist, where a Japanese-hilted dagger and a flintlock sit, and gold bangles ring each wrist. Purple-lensed goggles perch on his brow, and a vast spiked fur coat drapes his bare chest, usually worn with only the right arm pushed through its sleeve.

After the two-year gap, scarring marks his face, eye, forearm, and stomach, his hair sits longer and swept back, and his left arm, lost above the elbow to Benn Beckman of the Red Hair Pirates, has been swapped for a mechanical limb wired into his nervous system. He later rebuilt that prosthetic during the Onigashima raid after the Beasts Pirates stripped it from him.

Personality

Crude, savage, and quick to spill blood, Kid built his name partly on the staggering toll of bystanders killed by his rampages. The faintest hint of mockery, even a stray glance, can send him into violence, and he treats sparing a nearby foe as a generous favor. Cruelty comes easily even unprovoked: he once nailed a beaten rival crew to crosses simply for being too feeble for the New World. For all his temper, he can rein himself in when the moment demands it.

He shares the exact ambition of Luffy, to claim the One Piece and reign as the new Pirate King, and he respects his rival even while struggling to admit it. Bold to the point of recklessness, he charges headlong into danger and refuses to bow, trading blows with several of the Four Emperors rather than yield. His pride makes him stubborn and wary of allies, a trait hardened by Apoo's betrayal of his earlier pact, yet he guards his crew fiercely and risked a second capture rather than abandon Killer.

Kid holds the World Government and its Nobles in open contempt, judging pirates more honest by comparison. He felt only amusement when Luffy struck the World Noble Charlos at the auction house.

Abilities

As head of the Kid Pirates and a Worst Generation member, Kid commands genuine power. His opening bounty of 315,000,000 berries, the steepest of the eleven Supernovas gathered at Sabaody, reflected the destruction and casualties his crew left behind; it later climbed to 470,000,000 and finally to 3,000,000,000 after he and Trafalgar Law brought down Big Mom at Onigashima.

His Devil Fruit, the Jiki Jiki no Mi, belongs to the Paramecia class and grants mastery over magnetism, letting him draw in or repel metal and assemble scrap into shapes, most famously a colossal arm built for crushing strikes. This makes him brutal against anyone relying on metal weapons, since he can deflect cannon fire or rip blades and guns toward himself as raw material. He has reached Awakening, extending magnetic properties to objects beyond his own body, though he admits it drains him.

Kid is among the rare few who can wield all three forms of Haki, including the uncommon Supreme King variety, even if he leans mostly on his fruit. Skilled in mechanical engineering, he fashions firearms, scrap golems, gears, and a personal railgun, and his physical strength, endurance, and recovery rate are formidable. He carries a flintlock and a dagger, and his replacement left arm makes him a cyborg.
