Whitebeard

Whitebeard (白ひげ, Shirohige), real name Edward Newgate, is considered to be one the strongest men in the world, rivaling King of the Pirates Gol D. Roger himself. After Roger's death, he became one of the Four Emperors, and placed Fishman Island under his protection. After one of his subordinates, Ace, was captured and sentenced to death, Whitebeard came to save him and perished in the following Marineford War.

Personality
Whitebeard is a fearless man who treasures the lives of his allies more than anything else, considering his crewmembers his sons and daughters. If someone dares to harm them, he will show no mercy to the perpetrators. He also enjoys talking about the past and loves to drink a good cup of sake. He believes in following one's decisions to the end without any regrets. Like other characters in One Piece, Whitebeard has a distinguishing laugh (Gu-ra-ra-ra-ra).

Fighting Style
Whitebeard uses his Bisento in a close combat and mastered his Devil's Fruit powers to create shockwaves of incredible power. He is one of the few people who has mastered all three types of Haki.
