Appearance

Speed is a tall woman who, due to her Devil Fruit, resembles a centaur, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. The right half of her hair is white while the left half is dark-blue. She has purple eye irises, and a furry tail that is dark-blue on the left-side, and white on the right-side. She also has a light-pink piercing on her left long horse ear, and light-pink goggles on her head. She wears a half-white, half-light-blue jacket that exposes her cleavage, with dark-blue shoulder pauldrons, a short dark feather cape, a light-pink pearl-like necklace wrapped around her neck, three sets of turquoise bead bracelets on her left and right wrists, two sets of silver metal armbands on her left and right forearms as well as an additional set on her rear left leg, white gloves on each hand, she wields a longbow but has no quiver of arrows, and has a saddle on the back of her horse body that has a variety of accessories on it (such as satchels and matching turqoise beads). During the events of Yamato’s Cover Story she is shown wearing a kimono, more in line…

Personality

Speed is a serious woman who cares about her duties and can get annoyed if she sees others goofing around. She is also proud because she does not like being given orders. Despite this, she seems cheerful when she is praised and will smile like a horse in a humorous fashion when complimented or treated well. She seems to like explaining her powers to other people, as seen when she boasted about her great range of vision. After being tamed by Kurozumi Tama, Speed began to affectionately call her “Master”.

Relationships

Beasts Pirates

As a Shinuchi, she was put in charge of low-ranking members of the Beasts Pirates who caused nothing but test her patience when it came to doing their jobs competently. She became enraged at them when they were goofing off instead of putting out a burning building, causing her to lose her temper. Her subordinates seem to hold her in high regard, often showering her with compliments. After being tamed by Tama, Speed became an enemy to the Beasts Pirates, as Kaidou nearly killed her for her perceived defection, and Speed later assisted Tama in spreading the Kibi Dango to other Gifters, further weakening the crew.

Tama

Upon Kurozumi Tama using her Devil Fruit abilities, she was able to fully tame Speed, who went from very stern to carefree and happy once Tama becomes her new master. Speed became very protective over Tama, letting her sit on her back and letting her ride her. She even went so far as to defy Kaidou in order to protect Tama, putting her life in jeopardy to save her. Speed also assisted Tama aiding the raid on Onigashima, becoming quite concerned for her well-being when she was becoming greatly exhausted…

Abilities And Powers

As a Shinuchi in the Beasts Pirates, Speed holds a high position in the crew and has authority over the lower-ranking members, and she is one of the top authorities in Bakura Town along with Holed’em and Basil Hawkins.

Devil Fruit

Speed is a Horse SMILE (ウマのSMILE（スマイル）, Uma no Sumairu?) user, giving her the lower body and ears of a horse. Her field of vision is greatly increased as well, with her claiming it to be 350 degrees. Her horse legs make her a very fast runner, and she is also capable of carrying people on her back. However, since she is part horse, she is susceptible to Kurozumi Tama’s animal-taming Devil Fruit power.

Weapons

Speed carries a bow on her back, although she has not been seen using it. She is shown using it in the anime and was skilled enough to launch a barrage of arrows quickly, skillfully aiming and shooting multiple arrows at a time against Roronoa Zoro and Kikunojo.

Haki

In the anime, she is shown to be capable of Armament Haki, imbuing her arrows with it to boost their power.

Ship

Speed owns a private ship for herself she uses to sail to…

History

Past

Speed was born 24 years ago in Wano Country. At some point during her life, she joined the Beast Pirates and ate a SMILE which gave her horse-like powers. She was later promoted to Shinuchi and assigned to Kuri, which was under Jack’s jurisdiction.

Wano Country Saga

Wano Country Arc

Speed went into the Paradise Farm to collect provisions for her and her crewmates stationed in Bakura Town. She heard the fire bell ringing and ensured that the fire was put out as she arrived at the recently destroyed remains of Holed’em’s house. She then brought the Treasure Ship of Provisions to Holed’em as she asked him what was going on and watched as her fellow Shinuchi and some of her subordinates were suddenly taken out by Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro. Speed was shocked at Holed’em’s defeat when Luffy, thinking she was a horse, tried to ride on her back.

Speed got angry, but when Kurozumi Tama offered some kibi dango made from her body, she ate it and became subservient to Tama, carrying her and Luffy out of Bakura Town as they made their way to Okobore Town. After Tama ate some food from the Treasure…

Anime And Manga Differences

The anime gave Speed more scenes than in the manga. At Bakura Town, she puts up a fierce fight, firing volleys of Haki-infused arrows at Zoro and Kiku, who are able to push through her arrow shots and escape. Also in the anime, Speed is shown putting up a desperate stand against her former leader Kaidou, who greatly injures her and Tama with a fire blast. During the raid on Onigashima, the anime extends the scene where Speed convinces the Gifters to eat the Kibi Dango, with Speed pretending to have gained a power boost by eating one herself. The flashback of Speed taking Tama to Onigashima is also extended, giving more dialogue to Speed and showing how they managed to set sail.

Merchandise

Speed has appeared in some forms of merchandise. She has been featured among the Yakara Can Badges and One Piece World Collectable Figures.
