Heat

Heat

Heat is a member of the Kid Pirates.

Appearance

Heat has long light blue, shaggy hair. His mouth stretches to the sides of his face like a Glasgow smile. He has black sunken eyes and visible bone ridges on his forehead. There are stitched scars at his chin, mouth-line, and the high point of his cheeks. Tattoos resembling thorned vines run along his shoulders, arms, and neck.

He wears a dark blue corset laced with red string, red pants with an armored pad over his right leg, and long brown boots.

Personality

Heat holds high respect for his captain, Eustass Kid. This is seen when he exclaimed “Master Kid!” out of shock, when his captain was shot in the leg by a Pacifista. Heat was also willing to plead to Shanks for his captain and crew to be spared after the latter was defeated by him. Despite this, Heat finds acts of crying or pleading to be pathetic as he insulted Sanji for crying for help during the Raid on Onigashima.

Abilities and Powers

Heat has the ability to breathe fire; how he does it has yet to be explained. Like the rest of the crew, he possesses a strong will, being resistant to Rayleigh’s Haoshoku Haki.

Weapons

Heat wielded two swords when he stood against a Pacifista.

History

Past

Heat was born in the South Blue in an island unaffiliated with the World Government. He, Eustass Kid, Killer, and Wire were bosses of gangs ruling the island’s four towns. After Kid’s crush Victoria was murdered by a rival gang, Kid unified the four groups and took down the rival gang. Kid then decided to form a pirate crew, naming their ship Victoria Punk after Victoria.

Summit War Saga

Sabaody Archipelago Arc

Upon reaching Sabaody Archipelago, the Kid Pirates attended an auction at the Human Auctioning House. Heat watched through most of the auction, until the World Noble Saint Charlos bought the mermaid Camie. Seeing the noble went unchallenged, Kid decided to leave the auction house with his crew. Before they could leave, Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro crashed through the wall right next to them. After Charlos shot Hatchan, Luffy punched the World Noble, which shocked Heat and the rest of the crowd. As Marines surrounded the auction house, Silvers Rayleigh used Haoshoku Haki to knock out the crowd inside, but Heat and the other pirates withstood the blast.

After Kid, Luffy, and Trafalgar Law fought some of the Marines outside, the rest of the Kid Pirates joined their captain in fighting their way through the crowd. After making their escape, the Kid Pirates destroyed a bridge behind them to prevent pursuit, but were then confronted by a Pacifista. Shortly after, they were joined by the Heart Pirates in fighting the cyborg.

Marineford Arc

The Kid Pirates managed to escape capture by the Pacifista and later returned to Sabaody Archipelago. They watched the live broadcast of the execution of Portgas D. Ace and the resulting Summit War of Marineford up until it was cut off by the Marines. After this, Kid told his men they were departing.

Post-War Arc

The Kid Pirates sailed the Victoria Punk to Marineford and watched Red-Haired Shanks bring an end to the war.

Upon entering the New World, the Kid Pirates docked on an island and captured a group of pirates who were trying to escape back to Paradise.

Dressrosa Saga

Dressrosa Arc

Heat and his crew celebrated along with crew members from the Hawkins Pirates and On Air Pirates after forming an alliance with them. During the party, Kaidou crashlanded on their island after jumping from a sky island, and Heat, along with other crew members, was blown back by the force of the collision.

Wano Country Saga

Wano Country Arc

After the confrontation with Kaidou, the Kid Pirates were captured and separated. Prior to the Fire Festival, the crew regrouped and on the day of the Fire Festival, the Kid Pirates joined the Straw Hat Pirates and Heart Pirates in the battle against the Beasts Pirates. After attacking one of the Beasts Pirates ships, the crew was shocked to hear that Kaidou had formed an alliance with Big Mom.

When the Straw Hats took over the port in front of Onigashima, the Kid Pirates promised to be the ones who would defeat Kaidou. After disembarking on Onigashima, the Kid Pirates received Beasts Pirates disguises from Kin’emon. As the alliance began their raid, the Kid Pirates went ahead of the Straw Hats. While deep inside Onigashima, the crew was caught up in the commotion caused by Luffy and Roronoa Zoro. In the ensuing chaos, the Kid Pirates were separated from Kid and Killer.

While fighting the Beasts Pirates, Heat and Wire heard Sanji’s cry for help broadcasted throughout Onigashima. Heat commented that it was pathetic.

Final Saga

Egghead Arc

After witnessing Shanks defeat both Kid and Killer, Heat was terrified and begged for them to be spared, and the crew offered up their Poneglyph rubbings. Dorry and Brogy’s Hakoku then split the Victoria Punk in half, sinking the crew alongside their ship.

Major Battles

  • Kid Pirates, Heart Pirates, and Straw Hat Pirates vs. Marines
  • Kid Pirates and Heart Pirates vs. Pacifista
  • Kid Pirates vs. Haritsu Kendiyo and crew
  • Kid Pirates vs. Big Mom Pirates’ allies (unseen)

Trivia

  • Heat was likely named after the experimental rock band This Heat, which were contemporaries to the likes of Sex Pistols and Wire that have inspired other members of the Kid Pirates, thus Heat ends up fitting his crew’s general theme.
  • Heat’s birthday, December 1st, is known as ‘Cairo Day’.
