Personality

The source offers little on his temperament beyond his standing within the unit. Loyalty defines him: like every duck in the troops, he is devoted to their leader Karoo.

History

When Karoo returned from delivering Vivi's Baroque Works report to Alubarna, he gathered the Duck Troops and led them to the Straw Hats. Each pirate mounted a bird and charged the city under cloaks to throw off the Baroque Works agents, with Kentauros bearing Zoro and weaving past Mr. 4's exploding baseballs. He peeled off alongside Hikoichi into Alubarna's West Gate, pursued by Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger, and set his rider down at the Medi Assembly Hall. After Zoro and Nami got separated in the fighting, Kentauros once spotted Nami but bolted the wrong way, much to the ducks' dismay. Once the battle ended and rain fell, the troops reassembled and later ferried the recovered Straw Hats back to the Going Merry, Kentauros again carrying Zoro, before heading home to Alubarna. He is among the fastest runners in Arabasta, skilled at bearing riders and at home in the desert heat.
