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.

In the anime, true to his name, he is shown to have extremely fast movement. A proof of this is when Kizaru launched a laser beam to stop him and a group of Whitebeard Pirates from getting closer at the broken wall Oars made, he was seen evading it, jumping backward. Later commenting about Kizaru's attack "with the speed of light". This is quite a remarkable feat considering the fact that Kizaru can move and shoot beams from his body without getting even noticed due to his speed(as when X Drake thought it was just a blink of light, Kizaru actually was in front of him aiming for a kick) and quickly injuring them.

Also, a remarkable ability of his was his strength and combined agility, as seen when he took the offense and run forward to meet the marines; and in a split second, eliminating a group of them with ease.

Weapons
Speed Jiru has been seen using a lance and 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 to a close, he and the rest of Whitebeard's crew left.

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