About Whitebeard

Personality and Relationships

When he first appears, he receives a letter from Red-Haired Shanks on behalf of Shanks' newest crewmate Rockstar. However, before even reading the letter, Whitebeard throws it away, claiming that if Shanks wants to talk, then he should visit in person. He even asks Rockstar to tell Shanks to prepare an expensive bottle of wine when Shanks comes to visit. When Shanks finally breaks through a blockade for the meeting of the two, he calls him "boy", showing his feelings of the much younger Redhair captain compared to his own age and prestige in the "New World" section of the Grand Line.

He, Shanks, and Buggy appear to know each other through his constant battles with Gold Roger's crew. While he is prepared to sit down and talk about the past, Whitebeard refuses to let others persuade him to go against his choices. He has a overconfident attitude towards others outside his crew and refuses to believe that anyone can take him down, including Blackbeard even though he knows how strong he has become.

Despite his attitude, anyone who joins his crew is instantly reguarded as his 'son' and he sees himself as somewhat a father figure to his crew, equally they refer to him as their 'father'. For that reason what Whitebeard hates most of all is when one of his men dies because of his relationship with his crew.

Trivia
