History
Marineford
Speed Jiru was first seen trying to back up Luffy with Haruta, Fossa, Izou, Kingdew, and Namur when he was attacked by Kizaru. He then reunited with the captains and commanders as Little Oars Jr. brought the black Moby Dick forward with his last ounce of strength. After Ace’s and Whitebeard’s deaths, the entire Whitebeard gang, including Speed Jiru, stood in Akainu’s way to prevent him from killing Luffy as well.
The war of retaliation
A year after the events on Marine Ford, a retaliatory war broke out between the remaining Whitebeard pirates and the Blackbeard pirate gang, but the Whitebeard pirates were heavily outnumbered. Speed Jiru’s status or whereabouts have not been known since.
