Kid

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Kid was held in seastone handcuffs at a Marine base when Ryan encountered him. After Ryan cut off the cuffs with Armament Haki, Kid revealed that he had stolen his Devil Fruit. 10

He chose to join Ryan’s crew solely because Killer wanted to learn swordsmanship and follow Ryan. Beli opposed the decision immediately, but Ryan accepted Kid partly because their rivalry would make life aboard the ship more lively. 10

After Kid and Killer went to purchase weapons, the Seventh Prince of the Goth Kingdom recognized Kid as the thief who had stolen his Devil Fruit. The pair were captured and imprisoned in the palace until Ryan and Beli located and rescued them. 12 13

Kid remained with Ryan’s crew as it became known as the Blood Sword Pirates. During the crew’s extended stay in the East Blue, he continued developing his Devil Fruit and attended Ryan’s lessons on social and political principles alongside other younger companions. 150 172

Appearance

Kid is a red-haired boy, around ten years old during the Goth Kingdom incident. 10 14

• Red hair, which later establishes him as the Traffic Light Trio’s “Red Light.” 10 33
• Wore a specially tailored red outfit for the Trio’s public debut at the Peak Challenge. 33

Personality

Kid is proud, confrontational, and quick to take offense. He repeatedly clashes with Beli, challenges people stronger than himself, and initially believes that pirates should simply steal what they want. Ryan pushes him toward a distinction between buying ordinary goods and robbing other pirates. 10 12 16

His aggression is balanced by unwavering loyalty. Kid follows Killer without hesitation, worries over Ryan while he is injured, and treats insults toward his captain as personal insults. 10 19 39

• Competitive ambition — Resents his initial 100-Beli bounty, celebrates later increases, and vows to catch up with Enel. He also privately fantasizes with Enel about someday replacing Ryan as captain, despite his confidence in and loyalty to Ryan. 65 240 375
• Interest in technology — Studies Happiness Country’s Electromagnetic Cannon for ideas about his fruit and eagerly explores Future Country’s research institutes and equipment. 63 444
• Recklessness — Challenges Kaido despite the gap in their strength and is knocked unconscious by a single Thunder Bagua. 406

Abilities & Skills

Magnet-Magnet Fruit

Kid possesses the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, which he claims to have stolen before joining Ryan’s crew. 10 16

• Is beginning to experiment with controlling a greater number of weapons. 16
• His Devil Fruit development remains basic while he builds his physical and combat foundations. 16

Combat Training

Kid receives harsh close-quarters training from Beli and broader guidance from Ryan. 16

• His stubbornness makes Beli’s aggressive training style effective at provoking effort. 16
• Despite rapid improvement, he can still be knocked down by Beli or easily defeated by Ryan. 16 43
• Ryan recognizes that Kid has the aptitude to awaken Conqueror’s Haki in the future; it first briefly manifests while Kid is unconscious after Kaido strikes him. 14 407

Technical Skills

• Studies the principles of an Electromagnetic Cannon as a possible direction for developing his fruit. 63
• Operates the Blood Sword Pirates’ Laser Cannon. Ryan entrusts him with learning the A-10 intercontinental missile’s guidance system because of his interest in and aptitude for machinery. 210 213
• Spends two days learning the missile’s procedures and helps Ryan carry out an attempted strike on Mary Geoise; the missile is stopped before detonation. 213 217

Relationships

• Portgas D. Ryan — Captain and mentor. Kid joins Ryan’s crew with Killer, admires Ryan’s strength, and defends his captain’s dignity. Ryan guides his training, protects him from Kaido’s finishing blow, and entrusts him with technical work, though Kid sometimes imagines taking the captaincy himself. 10 39 210 375 406
• Killer — Closest companion. Kid insists on accompanying Killer wherever he goes. Killer also tries to restrain Kid when his eagerness for battle puts him in danger. 10 63
• Beli — Constant rival and trainer. Their arguments begin immediately after Kid joins, while Beli uses physical training to push Kid’s growth. Beli also protects him from Aokiji’s attack in Alabasta. 10 16 28
• Enel — Friend, rival, and partner in developing Electromagnetic Force. They compete over strength, cooperate in battle, and privately discuss the idea of overthrowing Ryan. 361 375 377 383
• Basil Hawkins — Prospective recruit whom Kid initially dismisses as unqualified. Kid and Enel test Hawkins’s defensive Devil Fruit before bringing him to Ryan; Kid later worries that Ryan has revealed too much about the Freedom Alliance to him. 378 379 381
