During a stream together, fellow massively popular streamer Kai Cenat asks Speed to pick between Luffy or Ronaldo. The YouTuber replies, “You think about Luffy though he like, saved my life. I was depressed.” He further explains after being asked, “Bro you remember 2020 quarantine? I was depressed as hell for some reason. I was like *** every night like ten times a day. Tired. It was just boring, nothing to do in my life. I popped up bro. They put One Piece on Netflix, I gave it one episode. My whole life changed.”
