History
Past
Pre-Zou Arc
When Jack and the Beasts Pirates invaded the Mokomo Dukedom looking for Raizo, Keith and the Guardians raced in as night fell to fight in relief of the Inuarashi Musketeer Squad.[1] The battle lasted five days, with the Guardians fighting during the night. Jack managed to defeat the minks by exposing them to the Koro gas, leaving the minks poisoned.[4] However, two days later, some of the Straw Hat Pirates arrived on Zou just in time to prevent them from succumbing to the poison.[5]
The following events are Non-Canon and therefore not considered part of the Canon story.
Keith, Blackback, and Roddy cheer on their saviors.
While Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Brook, and Caesar were working to treat all the minks on the island, Keith cheered them on alongside his comrades, Roddy and Blackback.[6]
Yonko Saga
Zou Arc
Later, Keith announced to all the Guardians that Wanda had returned with the entire Straw Hat crew.[2] Afterwards, he partied alongside the Straw Hats during their feast.[7]
When it was time for the Sanji Retrieval Team to depart, Keith and everyone else that remained watched in surprise as Luffy suddenly wrapped their group in his arms and then jumped off Zou.[8]
Concludes non-canon section.

Keith and the Guardians later accompanied Nekomamushi to Sphinx in order to recruit Marco to their alliance with the Straw Hats, the Heart Pirates, and the Kozuki Family.[9]
Major Battles
Anime and Manga Differences
The anime expands the number of instances that Keith is seen. He was only seen during flashbacks during the Beast Pirates' invasion and not the actual Zou Arc. Although he most likely did partake in the general events that also involved the Mink Tribe and the Guardians during the Zou Arc, his presence in these events were only seen in the anime.
