Speed Jiru

Speed Jiru is the commander of the 14th division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Appearance
Speed Jiru is a somewhat round man of average height, wearing a brown fez and a white robe with brown sleeves, both with Whitebeard's insignia printed on them. He wields a jousting lance for a weapon. In the anime, he's seen carrying a golden shield, also with Whitebeard's insignia.

Abilities and Powers
As the commander of the 14th Division, Speed Jiru has authority over the lower-ranking subordinates.

Speed Jiru seems to have the ability to change body shape; sometimes he appears to be fat while other times slim. It is unknown if this possible ability stems from a Devil Fruit or some other method, such as Life Return.

Weapons
At the start of the war, Speed Jiru was seen using a lance, that, in the anime, was paired with a shield.

Marineford Arc
He was first seen, along with the other Whitebeard Pirates, in Marineford's bay, ready to save Ace. He was amongst the Commanders who backed up Luffy when the latter was attacked by Admiral Kizaru. He attacked the Plaza along with his comrades, and was shocked to hear of Whitebeard's will to sacrifice himself for his sons. As Ace pronounced his last words, he was seen crying. Upon the arrival of Shanks and Sengoku calling the war coming to a close, he and the rest of Whitebeards crew left.

Post-War Arc
He, along with the rest of the crew attended the funeral of Whitebeard and Ace on a undisclosed location somewhere on the Grand Line.
