Roger, and following Roger's death, was widely recognized as the strongest man in the world, a fact complimented by having the highest active bounty whilst alive, and the second highest bounty of any pirate in history. He is an ally of Monkey D. Luffy and a central figure overall during the Marineford Arc. In his younger days, he wore an open dark gray vest and a black bandanna, and his trademark mustache was nonexistent.
When he was 52, he wore a white and yellow pirate hat with his jolly roger on it over a black bandana with black and red, both worn over long, blond flowing hair he had back then. Whitebeard was an abnormally large man, with a height of cm 21'10". Unlike other large-sized humans, however, he was well-proportioned. He had a long face, ploughed because of the advanced age with many wrinkles around his eyes, and many scars running along his chest, and was very muscular.
He wore a black bandanna around his head and adorned himself with a white captain's coat, which hung loosely from his broad shoulders and bore his Jolly Roger symbol. He was always seen bare-chested, and wore light, loose pants tucked inside his large black boots, and a dark pirate sash around his waist. While not in battle, Whitebeard was typically on oxygen and attached to several medical sensor machines, due to health issues concerning his age.
In the manga, after Akainu melted off a portion of his head, Whitebeard lost his left eye and the left side of his mustache [21] this was changed to just losing the left side of his mustache in the anime [22] as well as a massive hole in his torso [23] a second, bigger hole in the stomach was also dealt by Akainu in the anime.
He also wore shorts and a white bandanna. He had bandaged scrapes and cuts from his fights. Edward Newgate was a cheerful and carefree person during his younger years, prior to commanding his own ship and becoming known as Whitebeard. Due to being an orphan who grew up in poverty, Newgate had a strong desire for a family, which he saw as the greatest treasure one could have. He was not ashamed of this wish, which was considered strange and humorous among his pirate peers.
His reign on the sea, reputation, and foreboding power made him seemingly overconfident and fearless. Actions that initially seemed to be the result of thoughtless, headstrong bravado actually had strong reasons behind them; his loud declaration that Fish-Man Island belonged to him freed the island from all pirates and slavery , [29] and his insistence that Blackbeard be punished was merely a cover for Ace, who had set out after him against Whitebeard's wishes.
Though he may seemed to have an overgrown ego, Whitebeard knew deep down that he was nothing but a single man and was fully aware of his own mortality. Because of this, he was not afraid of sacrificing himself for the safety of those he considered his children. Roger , Whitebeard believed that a child should not be responsible for their parents' sins.
Despite his fierce reputation, Whitebeard was a compassionate man, having adopted countless people of different backgrounds into his crew as his foster children, such as Squard , whose life was devastated by Roger killing his crew, or Teach, who requested to join his crew due to being homeless.
Marco stated that the main reason the Whitebeard Pirates held such strong loyalty to their captain was due to Newgate's paternal-like attitude, deeply caring for them like a father. Contrary to the tyrannical Kaidou and Charlotte Linlin , Whitebeard used his power and influence as one of the Four Emperors for humanitarian purposes. He liberated and protected Fish-Man Island from slavery, an act which touched the hearts of the normally human-distrusting citizens of Ryugu Kingdom , and invested the majority of his riches to support his homeland of Sphinx , an once poor, lawless island.
In fact, the notion of separating himself from just one of them and for a short time infuriated him. Even if he did accept doing so, it was reluctantly and while showing much annoyance.
Whitebeard was very careful about choosing a person to be included in his crew, depending on their personality and nature. This cautiousness mainly stemmed from his time as a member of the Rocks Pirates , as the violent and poor relationship among the members of that crew left a negative impact on Whitebeard. Still, Whitebeard showed enough open-mindedness to give Oden a chance to prove himself in a challenge and eventually allowed the Kuri daimyo to be part of his crew after the latter prioritized the life of an innocent woman over the challenge itself.
A distinguishing feature of Whitebeard's nature was his high moral standards: he never forgave the death of a crewmate by another, and believed that a man could not live without some form of honor code.
Whitebeard seemed to enjoy talking about the past; when Shanks visited his ship , the first thing Newgate did was recollect his memories from the last twenty-two years, particularly those involving old rivals like Roger, Garp and Sengoku.
Regardless of his poor health at the time, Whitebeard liked drinking, to the point that bringing and sharing a drink with him preferably of high quality and very expensive was viewed as enough of a respectful gesture to engage a conversation.
This was seen in his encounters with Shanks, [47] Gol D. Roger, [48] and Shiki ; still, this did not guarantee complete cooperation from him, judging from the nature of these conversations. Like other characters in One Piece, he had a unique laugh , which was "Gu ra ra ra ra".
However in the anime before the Marineford Arc and Gigant Battle , his laugh was changed to a regular "Ha ha ha ha ha". In the American Shonen Jump, his laugh is changed to "Gu ha ha ha ha".
Whitebeard considered every single member of his crew, as well as his subordinate crews, his "sons". His strong love for his crew and subordinate crews traced all the way back to before he even had a crew, when he stated that the one thing he wanted more than anything was a family. Any crewmember from Whitebeard's crew who killed another crewmember were to be hunted down by the commander of that former crew member's division. This was not blind loyalty, as Whitebeard was willing to go to war with the World Government to save Ace.
Out of everybody within his crew, Marco was perhaps the closest person Whitebeard had to a right-hand man. During the initial stages of the Marineford War, Marco stood right by Whitebeard's side, informing him of battlefield intel, protecting him from long-range assaults, listening to his comments and orders, and was also the only one to rush to Whitebeard's aid after the latter got stabbed by Squard, showing little tolerance to the perpetrator for harming his captain.
Marco was also the one who instigated the Payback War against Blackbeard , gathering the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates to hunt down the crew's traitor and main responsible for Whitebeard and Ace's deaths, but failed to accomplish his revenge.
As a testament to Whitebeard and Marco's closeness, the latter was aware of the former's childhood circumstances as an orphan of Sphinx , which led to Whitebeard's career of piracy. Since his old captain had spent much of his fortune aiding his struggling homeland, Marco found himself with the duty of protecting the one thing that still remained from Whitebeard's past, becoming a local doctor who took care of the health of the locals.
Marco teared up when he told Nekomamushi about Whitebeard's love for the land he had been born into, knowing that it was the reason his captain was so stingy with money. Whitebeard first became aware of Portgas D. Ace while the latter was still a rookie, being curious and impressed by the rapid growth and progress of the youngster's career as a pirate captain.
After easily defeating him, Whitebeard eventually revealed himself to be a magnanimous man to Ace and his crew, giving him the chance to join his family as his son. As he further bonded with Whitebeard's crewmates, who already treated him as family, Ace eventually grew to respect Whitebeard so much that he viewed him as a proper father figure, due to his hatred of his actual father, Gol D.
Ace claimed to Sengoku that he believed Whitebeard would become Pirate King. As Ace's respect for Whitebeard grew, so did his honor as one of the Whitebeard Pirates. Because of this, he was one of the most outraged members regarding Thatch 's murder, viewing such a thing as an unforgivable offense to Whitebeard's ideals. Although Whitebeard advised him not to venture into the hunt for Teach , Ace left without permission and, in the end, Whitebeard took responsibility for Ace's mistakes without hesitation by going to Marineford to save him from execution.
From their first meeting and their brief fight, Whitebeard understood how crazy and strong Oden was. He got very angry when Roger asked him to borrow Oden and then got annoyed when Oden himself asked him, hating just the idea that he could leave his crew, even if only for a short time.
He let Oden go without saying goodbye, but still ordered his crew to leave some supplies for him and his family. Whitebeard was well aware of Oden's strength and entrusted him with the command of the second division. He left the command vacant for a long time also after his departure, since he had not received any news of his death until several years after it happened.
Initially, Izou had a hostile relationship with Whitebeard, which stemmed from the painful and humiliating treatment Izou's master, Oden, was receiving as part of the challenge Whitebeard had given the daimyo in order to join his crew. Izou stated that he would make Whitebeard pay for putting his master through so much trouble. Izou eventually grew fond of his new group and became a full-fledged member, preferring to stay with the Whitebeard Pirates when Oden decided to join the Roger Pirates.
He was eventually promoted to commander of the sixteenth division of the crew, showing that he had earned Whitebeard's respect as a leader and fighter. Aside from their own member crew, [68] the Whitebeard Pirates had many subordinate crews working in the New World.
Each one of the pirate captains was an infamous pirate who had made a name for him or herself in the New World. There seemed to be at least 43 crews underneath Whitebeard. After losing his entire crew to Roger, Squard was taken in by Whitebeard, who treated him like a son and saved him from the loneliness of losing all of his comrades. Squard, in return, thought of Whitebeard as a father figure, but felt betrayed when he thought that Whitebeard was planning to sacrifice all of his subordinate crews to save Ace, leading him to stab the Emperor in a surprise attack.
When Whitebeard proved otherwise, Squard broke down in tears at his mistake. Jinbe had expressed many times that he owed a great deal of gratitude to the Emperor [76] and refused to participate in the war against Whitebeard, even if it meant losing his Warlord of the Sea title and being imprisoned in Impel Down.
Over the years, Jinbe's respect for Whitebeard had grown to the point where he was ready to declare himself as an adversary to anyone or anything with ill intent upon the Emperor's life, which is why he immediately engaged in battle against Ace on their first encounter, since Ace was out to assassinate Whitebeard at that time. Whitebeard seemed to have some form of respect for Luffy after hearing about him from both Ace and Shanks; Ace had shown excitement that Luffy was on the Grand Line, [79] and Shanks had stated that he had given up his arm on a "bet on the New Age ", referring to Luffy.
As the war went on, his respect for Luffy increased after witnessing Luffy's true potential , and Whitebeard decided to command all his forces to fully support Luffy with all their might, a decision which even surprised his own men.
This also marks the first time that Whitebeard called him by his name, Straw Hat Luffy, instead of "brat", proving that Whitebeard came to acknowledge him and his strength through the course of the war. Whitebeard was an old friend of King Neptune. Their friendship stemmed from when they first drank together, and Whitebeard protected Fish-Man Island from slavery due to this friendship.
Though it is unknown how they became friends, it is known that they had been friends for quite some time, as Neptune helped Whitebeard out a lot during his younger days. Before his demise, Whitebeard had a number of locations under his protection. Among Whitebeard's known territories, his own homeland of Sphinx was the most important to him. Due to the high costs of the World Nobles' heavenly tribute being impossible for a poverty-stricken place like Sphinx to afford, the island suffered from constant pirate and slaver attacks without government protection.
A young, orphaned Newgate had to grow under those oppressive conditions, leading to his life as pirate, although he never valued treasure as much as the idea of family. As such, Whitebeard dedicated a majority of his riches for humanitarian aid towards Sphinx, having built a peaceful village for the locals to live in. Despite having been rivals with Gol D. Roger , Whitebeard held great respect for him. They seemingly had multiple duels upon their lives, with one instance in particular leading to a friendly gift exchange between their crewmembers after three days of endless battling.

Marco standing next to Whitebeard during the battle of Marineford. From hero. He had dressed scratches and cuts from his battles. There were 16 division authorities and Whitebeard himself in his team, every division commandant directing men. Since their chief had figured out how to battle with Gol D. Roger one-on-one, the Whitebeard Pirates were considered among the most grounded privateers known in the realm of One Piece.
In any case, regardless of whether they were really more grounded than the three different Emperors, or at a similar strength, is obscure. Also the way that the catch of Portgas D. Large numbers of them appear to have at least one types of Haki, a strategy their chief had dominated altogether three structures. The way that their names are notable by the Warlords of the Sea and naval commanders additionally gives a sign of their solidarity. Sengoku expressed that, with his Devil Fruit, Whitebeard would have had the option to annihilate the world.
Another illustration of their solidarity is most of the authorities were safe by the conflict. Notwithstanding, in any event, considering their great showcases of force, the Whitebeard Pirates are not, using any and all means, resistant, and have endured tremendous misfortunes: Prior to the Whitebeard War, fourth division leader Thatch was killed by Marshall D.
