Whitebeard's Crew Members

Edward Newgate: Whitebeard

Edward Newgate was the captain of Whitebeard's crew and one of the Four Emperors who ruled the second half of the Grand Line. Imagine this 6.66 meter tall colossus, nicknamed the strongest man in the world ! With his femon fruit, the Gura Gura no Mi , which gave him devastating earthquake power, Whitebeard was practically unbeatable.

Despite his imposing appearance, Whitebeard was a fair and compassionate man who considered his crew as family . He founded the crew with the goal of providing a home for those who did not have one. His sense of honor and devotion to his pirate family led him to risk his life to save Ace during the Summit War .

Whitebeard was respected and feared by all in the world of piracy. Even Navy Admirals were hesitant to confront him directly. This is what drew such powerful pirates as Marco the Phoenix, Ace of the Fire Fists, and legendary division commanders to his flag. He was unfortunately betrayed by Marshall D. Teach aka Blackbeard , who stabbed him in the back.

Marco: The Phoenix

Marco was Whitebeard's right-hand man . Thanks to his Tori Tori no Mi Phoenix Model , he could transform into a flaming creature capable of regenerating. His calm and thoughtfulness in the midst of chaos has always impressed us. He was often the voice of reason within the crew. During the Marineford War, he protected his comrades with unparalleled bravery. He even faced the three Admirals of the Navy thanks to his mastery of Armament Haki and Kings Haki . A truly formidable opponent!

After Whitebeard's death, Marco became the leader of the surviving pirates of the crew. He then temporarily joined the Straw Hats in Wano to fight Emperor Kaido and Big Mom . Marco is truly an iconic character in One Piece.

Portgas D. Ace: Ace of the Fiery Fists

Portgas D. Ace is the biological son of the legendary Pirate King Gol D. Roger . What an incredible legacy! Holder of the Mera Mera no Mi devil fruit, Ace could create, control and transform into fire. His sense of honor and absolute loyalty to the Whitebeard crew won over all One Piece fans, who made him one of their favorite characters.

His impulsiveness and sense of justice led him to pursue the Blackbeard Pirates after the murder of his comrade Satch , which unfortunately led to his capture by the Navy . During the Marineford War, Ace displayed exceptional courage and determination, facing the Navy forces alongside his brothers-in-arms.

And when he sacrificed his life to protect his spiritual brother Luffy , taking a fatal blow from Admiral Akainu , many of us shed a little tear. His death was a major turning point in the history of One Piece, and his character will forever be etched in our memories.

Joz: The diamond

When you see Joz, you think "what an indestructible colossus"! Renowned for his physical strength and his unfailing endurance , he was one of the most powerful fighters on the crew. At Marineford, he faced the forces of the Navy with such determination that he managed to resist the attacks of the Admirals.

He was a true ally of Whitebeard, willing to continue fighting despite his grievous injuries and refusing to give up until his captain was safe. Despite his formidable strength, he was far from arrogant and preferred to let his actions speak for him. A true warrior in all his glory!

Satch: The ham

Possessing the Devil Fruit Kashi Kashi no Mi, Satch could transform into a gooey, sticky mass, granting him great mobility and the ability to deform. Despite his laid-back appearance and sense of humor, Satch was a formidable fighter. His murder by Blackbeard set off a series of tragic events, leading to Ace's capture.

He was considered a mentor to the younger members and was respected for his combat experience. His death was a great blow to the crew, but his sacrifice strengthened their resolve to protect their family.

View: The Flower of Falmingo

Vista was a true master swordsman ! We were literally glued to the spot by his confrontation with the legendary Dracule Mihawk , the Hawkeye. Despite Mihawk's superiority, Vista managed to stand up to him, showing that he is a solid pirate. He was a man of honor who deeply respected the traditions of swordsmen. He was known for his calm and wisdom , often acting as an advisor to Whitebeard.

Despite his power, Vista remained humble and did not seek personal glory, fighting only to protect his family . A true modern-day samurai, worthy of the greatest swordsmen in history!

Moby Dick: The Crew's Ship

The Moby Dick was the legendary flagship of Whitebeard's crew, one of the most powerful and famous in the New World. This colossal ship proudly displayed Whitebeard's Jolly Roger.

Its massive cannons and crew of several hundred made it a major strike force, capable of rivaling enemy fleets.

During the Marineford War, the Moby Dick played a crucial role, transporting Whitebeard and his troops to the heart of the clash against the World Government forces that had come to capture Ace. Despite the damage sustained, the ship resisted until the last breath of its captain, Edward Newgate.
