Overall

Kelly is a tall, muscular man with pale skin and bright red hair, resembling flames. His nose has a particular shape, being quite pointed and having little protrusions on both sides. He has dark reddish purple colored lips and fingernails, red/orange eyes and no eyebrows. He also has a large scar that drags from the left side of his forehead, goes down his neck and another smaller one that goes through his left eye. There are two parallel scars on his lower right arm also. His left arm also appears to be entirely mechanical, and also has scars on his right forearm, left pectoral, and on the left side of his abdomen.

His attire consists of his trademark spotted pants, a black opened vest, held down by a belted war kilt. He also has a long dark red coat, worn over his shoulders. He wears a pair of studded, square shaped goggles on his forehead, and a large fur captain's coat over his bare muscular torso. The dark brown coat is adorned with spikes on its shoulders lined in maroon. The collar of the coat is extremely flared and wide. He typically wears this coat with his right arm in its sleeve and his left arm under the coat itself.

Overall

Kelly gets his title for two reasons, the first being his metal body literally being made of metal, thus his stomach being stronger than steel. However the main reason he has this title is do to his heavy alcohol consumption. Kelly is known not only for his heavy drinking, but his ability to consume even the strongest of alcohol with no visible effects on his personality. He cares for alcohol so much that, in exchange for putting fear into other pirate crews, and even killing a few when ordered, the World Government had to pay for ALL booze bought by his crew, with the exception of those bought specifically for Kelly.

Kelly has three rules to join his crew, and these rules embody the Steel Gut Pirates. Anyone who wishes to join his crew must treat the crew members as comrades in arms, be willing to become cyborgs, and love alcohol.  He even organizes the drinks based on rank of crew, with the lower members downing their weaker drinks, with the alcohol getting more and more powerful as one increases in rank among the various sub crews of the Steel Gut Pirates. Kelly himself saves the strongest alcohol for himself, such as alcohol that is made specifically for giants, that normal humans can only handle a shot of do to its sheer density.

Kelly has standards he holds members to his crew to, and while these are not enforced like the three rules, it is generally expected of Kelly's followers to meet these expectations, lest they be considered disappointing outcasts who are only allowed on the crew because they follow the first three rules. All of Kelly's men are expected to stick to their guns on their beliefs no matter, what and to never to go back on what they say they will do or what they say they will never do. To Kelly and most of the crew, if you cann't keep your word, you loose the right to ever call yourself a man. This is so strongly enforced that battles on ships are not just allowed but encouraged, with Kelly saying is the way real men show their feelings. While these fights may last a while, Kelly and his crew will usually forget the arguments after they are over, as the other had shown how much they believe in what they say.

Kelly highly praises being a man, having many rules that never flow together to a coherent set of rules. To Kelly a person must do multiple things to prove he is a man, and anything less isn't worth considering. Men protect the things they love, be them material or otherwise. Men will know the names of each worthy opponent they've killed until the day their heart stops beating. Men have wills as strong as the metal that fills his crew's bodies, that will always stand against anything that comes their way. A man is able to admit when his actions were foolish. A man knows that a battle is a battle, and any moves made are merely tactics, and that they will not hate any man for doing what it takes to survive.

11. Kelly begins work with Joseph in construction of the first completely metal ship. Crew grows to six ships.
12. Kelly uses cyborg upgrades to his reflexes. Kelly and Joseph reach high levels of technology, turning Kelly into a walking armory and Joseph into a human computer.
13. Kelly and Joseph create the first metal ship J0J0. Joseph combines his cybernetics with the ship, becoming one with it. Kelly declares it a crime to ever power J0J0 with alcohol, and it will always be powered with tea.
14. Steel Gut Pirates grows to eight ships and Kelly heads the J0J0. Kelly kills several bands of pirates in a show of his power, and even destroys a revolutionary base. Kelly for the first time kills a member for almost putting beer into the J0J0's power supply.
15. Kelly is contacted by the marines and offered a position with the other Schichibukai. Kelly agrees and hunts pirates for the World Government, as well as gives them small pieces of technology. Kelly however does force them to pay for all alcohol consumed by the pirates, as well as several gallons of tea a day.
16. A group of pirates break off from the Steel Gut pirates to form their own crew. After a rousing party, Kelly bids them goodbye, and tells them they are welcome to return at any time.

■ Combat

Special Abilities

Cybernetic Enhancements: Walking Armory
Despite his seemingly small size compared to other races of the world of One Piece, Kelly carried several weapons on his person. Be it missiles in his shoulders and legs, cannons in his chests, bullets in his lungs, long range cannons in his back, or blades in his feet. Kelly has an innumerable amount of weapons on his person at all times, and seemingly has no limit on the amount of weapons.

Cybernetic Enhancements: Senses
Kelly's senses have been cyberneticaly boosted to an inhuman degree. All of his senses can pick of their respective sense for up to two hundred meters with no loss of vision. On top of this, at will Kelly can force his senses into overdrive, causing the world to slow down as if it were being watched in slow motion.

Cybernetic Enhancements: Accuracy
As a long range fighter, Kelly has a need for accuracy. Not only through his cybernetics is he able to calculate where his enemies will move at their current trajectory, but he can also tell when to shoot them to hit with maximum damage possible. He can accurately hit the eye of small rodents from three hundred meters away, one hundred and fifty meters should his cybernetic senses be limited to normal.

Cybernetic Enhancements: Reflex
Kelly's brain and nerves has also been altered with cybernetics. More specifically his Cerebrum and Cerebellum. By altering these two to both process and move information much faster, Kelly can react to fast movements with ease and equal speed. If not for this upgrade, the use of Overdriving his senses would hinder him more than help him.
