Kid first appeared at the Sabaody Archipelago at the same time Monkey D. Luffy and his crew arrived. Both were described as members of the "Eleven Supernovas", pirates who had congregated on the island who all had a bounty of more than 100,000,000. After briefly fighting alongside Luffy while escaping an attack by the Marines, he fled the archipelago and would later spectate the Summit War of Marineford alongside the other Supernovas.

During Luffy's two years of training, Kid challenged one of the Four Emperors, Shanks, but lost one of his arms in the process. He attempted to form an alliance with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates to challenge the Red Hair Pirates once more, but the alliance fell apart after an attack from another Emperor, Kaidou. When he refused to swear allegiance to Kaidou like Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins did, Kid was imprisoned by Kaidou at Wano Country, where he would eventually reunite with Luffy in prison. Though nominally acting in self-interest towards vengeance and glory, Kid's assistance towards the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance was instrumental in defeating Kaidou and the Beasts Pirates and freeing Wano from Kaidou's tyrrany.

Following the Raid on Onigashima, Kid and his crew arrived at Elbaf and decided to challenge Shanks once more. However, the entire crew and their ship were decimated by Shanks and his allies, Dorry and Brogy.

Kid was originally introduced with a bounty of 315,000,000, largely due to a high number of civilian casualties caused by him and his crew, thus exceeding Luffy's when they first arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago. Sometime during the timeskip, his bounty was raised from 315,000,000 to 470,000,000. Kid's bounty was eventually raised to 3,000,000,000 for his role in defeating Big Mom of the Four Emperors alongside Trafalgar Law during the Wano Country Arc.

Due to his actions, Kid can be considered a minor ally during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc as well as a major ally during the Wano Country Arc.

## Personality

Eustass Kid comes off as a rude, vicious and bloodthirsty pirate, notorious for causing huge amounts of civilian casualties. Whenever feeling like he is being mocked or insulted, even though a glance, he is quick to resort to violence. In fact, Kid can be so violent that he considers the choice of not immediately killing someone in his direct vicinity an act of gratitude. He also seems to be cruel even when not provoked, crucifying another defeated pirate crew just because he deemed them too weak to roam around in the New World. Kid is overall highly temperamental and has little patience with anyone getting in his way, although he is capable of restraining his anger in certain situations.

Kid is bold, cocky and fearless, known to run into danger regardless of the consequences. This is particularly the case when dealing with people who previously wronged him, at which point Kid will throw all caution to the wind and go straight for revenge. He does not hesitate to challenge even the Four Emperors, having previously fought Kaidou and Shanks and destroyed two ships belonging to Big Mom. Kid rarely backs down from a battle and may fight a powerful enemy until his last breath. The fact that he did not join the Beasts Pirates despite not standing a chance against Kaidou is a testament to Kid's disposition. Kid seems to believe that possessing the determination to achieve the impossible is necessary to survive in the New World, and that anyone who does not is as good as dead.

Kid is very prideful of his reputation and aims to reach a top spot in the world of piracy, which he plans to achieve by beating the Four Emperors, even if it means dying for it. That said, Kid has no interest in utilizing weapons of mass destruction (although he is curious about their existence) or other tools that could help him achieve those goals, instead just preferring to confront them head on with his own power. Because of this, he dislikes joining forces with others and sharing his targets with them, thinking that they will just interfere in what should be his fight alone. He also hates being the subject of false rumors that paint him in a negative light, being quick to clarify them if he overhears someone talking about him. Because of his pride, Kid is notorious for being unreasonably stubborn, unwilling to back down no matter how impossible the task is. Despite this stubbornness, Kid has shown moments of maturity, willing to put his pride aside to work with his fellow Worst Generation members in overthrowing the Emperors of the Sea.

Kid is shown to be quite cynical about the World Government. He is not blind to the way the World Nobles act, remarking that, compared to them, pirates are almost humane in nature and honest about their faults, unlike the Nobles that justify their abuses of power through ancestry. After Camie had been sold in the Human Auctioning House to Charlos, Kid declared that the whole affair was a "farce" and similarly held a similar point of view regarding the broadcast of the Summit War of Marineford, calling it a "charade". For this reason, he felt amusement and catharsis when the world noble Charlos was punched down by an irate Luffy.

Kid has the same dream as Luffy: to find One Piece and become the new Pirate King. Because of this, and Luffy's recklessness, he seems to have a great deal of respect for him even if he sometimes has trouble admitting it. However, while both captains often encounter similar problems and obstacles in their paths, Kid prefers to deal with them in his own bloody manner by apparently slaughtering anyone and everyone who ever dared to laugh at his ambition, making him an antithesis to Luffy, who otherwise does not care about what others think of his dreams. Surprisingly, belying his rough attitude, Kid can be childishly competitive and will mock his rivals any chance he gets, especially when Luffy and Law are involved.

Another similarity Kid has to Luffy is a strong degree of affection for his crewmates. Kid will recklessly defend or rescue his subordinates if they are mocked or in danger. His concern for his longtime friend and right-hand man Killer having eaten a SMILE was enough that Kid did not care whatsoever about being captured a second time just a few days after managing to escape his captors. Kid is also rather gluttonous, not minding hard labor as long as he gets access to large amounts of food.

Unlike Luffy, however, Kid is rather unfriendly and mistrusting of others, rarely leaving his guard down and warning his subordinates to follow suit. The failure of his alliance with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates, which happened due to the betrayal of Scratchmen Apoo, seems to have reinforced this mindset, as he initially turned down an offer from Luffy to team up with the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. Kid would eventually change his mind, but still acted as a reluctant ally for the most part, only joining forces with Luffy for the sake of their rivalry.

## Relationships

### Crew

Kid seems to have a good relationship with his crewmembers that have been revealed. Killer keeps his captain calm when he gets angered. Wire and Heat hold high respect and concern for their captain. According to Basil Hawkins, Kid's crew was forced to work under the Kurozumi Family and the Beasts Pirates, with the life of their captain being used as a bargaining chip.

After becoming Kaidou's prisoner, Kid was noticeably worried about what had happened to his crew and tried looking for them around the first time he escaped from the Prisoner Mine at Udon. Once he was freed for the second time thanks to Luffy's efforts, he still prioritized finding the rest of his crewmates and stated that he would only trust them from now on, as a result of Apoo and Hawkins' betrayal.

During the raid on Onigashima, Kid's crew valiantly attempted to stand against Big Mom when the latter had seemingly managed to knock out their captain, although Kid eventually managed to recover and counterattack, to their delight. They also tearfully celebrated their boss's win against Big Mom and kept loyally protecting him even when it seemed like Kaidou had gained the upper hand over the alliance.

### Rivals

As a member of the Worst Generation, he sees the other 100,000,000+ bounty rookies he encountered in the Sabaody Archipelago as his rivals, specifically Law and Luffy.

#### Monkey D. Luffy

Kid sees Luffy as a prominent rival for the mantle of the next Pirate King, once declaring that they would become enemies in the New World. After the Whitebeard War, he stated that he was not generous enough to let Luffy run around as he pleased, showing intent to compete with him for notoriety and not get left behind. Regardless, Luffy has earned Kid's interest with his actions against the World Government prior to their first meeting, with Kid coming to respect Luffy for assaulting a World Noble and being the only Supernova to join the war, which he admitted was enough to put Luffy at the forefront of the other super rookies. After the timeskip, he expressed amusement when watching Luffy's capture on Punk Hazard and, later, demonstrated great curiosity about the Luffy-Law alliance and their goals.

After meeting again in a prison at Wano Country, Kid and Luffy became competitive with each other and would argue on about who had done more slave work. Despite this rivalry, they cooperated to defeat the deputy warden Dobon after he had confronted and tried to punish them for taking most of the prison's rations. Luffy also showed some concern for Kid when Queen threatened to drown him. After he had been freed, Luffy offered an alliance to take down Kaidou, but Kid rejected the offer as he still felt bitter about being betrayed during his previous alliance with Apoo and Hawkins. However, he joined Luffy and Law in the battle against the Beasts Pirates, not wanting Luffy to get all the glory in defeating Kaidou. Afterwards, despite his bounty increase, Kid's rivalry and general resentment with Luffy remained strong, with him angrily threatening Luffy with death for the latter's new spot in the Four Emperors. When leaving Wano, Kid provoked Luffy into racing him down at the waterfall.

Despite frequent denials about viewing Luffy as an ally, Kid seemingly trusts the Straw Hat captain's strength. While battling Big Mom by his lone self, Kid was visibly pleased upon learning that Luffy, even while knocked out, would not give up until he won against Kaidou, in spite of previous announcements that claimed he had died in combat against the Emperor. Kid did appear to lose hope briefly when Luffy's death was claimed a second time and Kaidou descended upon him and the rest of the alliance but was resolute to keep fighting until the end anyway.

Kid calls Luffy "stupid monkey", while Luffy calls Kid "Jaggy".

### Seia

In spite of their rivalry, Kid had a degree of respect and admiration for Seia because of him being a member of royalty. Seia recognizes Kid as a rival and believes he is a strong fighter.

#### Trafalgar D. Water Law

In the manga, Law gave Kid the finger when he (presumably) overheard Kid talking behind his back regarding rumors of how Law's manners appear to be rather lacking. Later on, when Kid volunteered to deal with the Marines amassing outside of the Auctioning House as a farewell gift to the Straw Hats and the Heart Pirates, both Law and Luffy took Kid's cockiness as an insult and opted to follow him outside in order to compete with the fellow super rookie. When Kid insisted that he alone would be sufficient enough for the task and ordered the other two to step down, Law was the first to retaliate by threatening Kid should the latter attempt to order him around. Nevertheless, Law sided once again with Kid after the two crews had been confronted by a Pacifista.

Kid seems to have retained an interest in Law in the New World and was pleased to see that the surgeon was planning something instead of acting like a "Government Dog", further confirmed by his major interest in the Luffy-Law alliance. Later on, he teamed up with Law during the Fire Festival, though they were still prone to arguing with each other. Kid seems to like mocking Law for his alliance with Luffy, especially since Law often follows Luffy's words. That said, he is annoyed when Law attempts to do the same to him by telling what to do.

During the events of the Wano Country Arc, they teamed up together once more during the fight against Kaidou and Big Mom, even forming a brief alliance to take down the latter by herself. Despite Kid's protests about Law seemingly getting in his way and their general bickering over trivial things, he was able to work alongside the Surgeon of Death to defeat the Emperor. After Kaidou and Big Mom's downfalls, Law gives Kid another copy of Road Poneglyph for helping him and Luffy to defeat Kaidou and Big Mom. While leaving Wano, Kid provoked Law into racing down at the waterfall.

### Enemies

#### World Government

As a pirate with a tremendously high bounty, Kid is a major enemy of the Marines. Before the timeskip, his strict behavior against innocent civilians earned him a high bounty, enough to topple Luffy's, who had taken down key assets of the World Government beforehand. He, along with Trafalgar Law and Monkey D. Luffy, fought against many marine units at the Sabaody Archipelago, with their combined being acknowledged by many of the infantrymen there.

Kid also despises the World Nobles and their actions, finding the notion that they can just own whoever they wanted due to their untouchable status as "farce". Apparently, Kid became a pirate himself with the intent of rebelling against what he considered the "scum" who ruled the world. Luffy showing up and punching Charlos in the face at the Human Auctioning House was met with much amusement from his part for that reason.

#### Four Emperors

According to Killer and Hawkins, Kid aims to hunt down the Four Emperors. Kid has confronted many of them during his career, with varying degrees of success. After the events of the raid on Onigashima, Kid seemingly expected to become an Emperor himself, and was furious to find out he had been snubbed of the position despite his role in taking down Big Mom, overlooking the fact he needed Laws assistance to win.

##### Shanks

No direct interaction has been shown between the two, but Kid formed an alliance with fellow captains Basil Hawkins and Scratchmen Apoo to overthrow the Emperor, Red-Haired Shanks. Kid also confirmed that he had lost his arm in an encounter with the Red Hair Pirates, but did not clarify that it was done by Shanks himself.

When Kid was later confronted into a battle with Shanks on Elbaf, he was excited at the possibility of battling Shanks for revenge for his prior loss despite the high probability of dying in the process, not showing any fear of losing. When he is forced to face off against Shanks' subordinate crew, Kid tries to destroy them all with his railgun, but he is instantly defeated by Shanks himself, who foresaw how catastrophic Kid's attack would be. Afterwards, Shanks' friends Dorry and Brogy destroyed his ship, knocking him and his entire crew into the sea and took his Ponygliph rubbings for himself.

##### Charlotte Linlin

During the timeskip, Kid invaded Totto Land and injured one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders before stealing a poneglyph rubbing from the Emperor. He later sunk two of the Emperor's ships while having no concern if she retaliated. Despite this hostility, Kid stated to Caribou that he had no interest in going after Big Mom.

Kid met Big Mom again at Onigashima, with Kid taking part in the group who faced the duo of Kaidou and Big Mom at the top of the Skull Dome. Kid was one of the Supernovas responsible for pushing Big Mom out of the Skull Dome's rooftop, which caused her to nearly drown into Wano Country's sea. When Big Mom made her way back into Onigashima, she specifically targeted Kid with her new homie Hera and angrily called out for him to reveal himself at her, still visibly furious about the stunt he had pulled that almost killed her. Kid, however, was not intimidated by her surprising return and kept hunting her down, intent on not letting her rejoin Kaidou. Kid somewhat regained his interest of taking down Big Mom just to get amount of fame. Kid declared to Big Mom that she is a nuisance when there is no place for her in the new era, in addition to calling her an "old-time pirate", much to Big Mom's rage.

Big Mom seemingly did not take Kid seriously until he and Law managed to severely injure her. The resulting damage was enough to impress the Emperor, who then started to acknowledge their threat, even going as far as sacrificing some of her own life to gain additional power so she could crush the two. In the end, however, Big Mom's efforts were still not enough to take down Kid and Law, who both showed no fear at all towards her status as one of the Emperors, meaning they were immune to her **Soul Pocus** as well for Kid of calling Big Mom as an "old hag". Once Kid and Law managed to launch her down into a crater, Big Mom, confident that she would not die, swore that they would pay.
