==History==
===Past===
====Early Years====
Islewan was an immediate member of the Whitebeard Pirates early in his pirate career. Four years after Oden joined, the Whitebeard Pirates arrived at an island and noticed a commotion that frightened even the animals. The crew then clashed with the Roger Pirates for three days and three nights before the skirmish ultimately became a gift exchange. Afterwards, the Whitebeard Pirates parted ways with Oden and his family.
====Rise to Infamy====
Some time prior to the current storyline, Islewan became a known pirate in the New World, and he and his crew became subordinates to the Whitebeard Pirates.
===Summit War Saga===
====Marineford Arc====
When Portgas D. Ace was to be executed at Marineford, Islewan and his crew joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to save him.
Immediately after the Vice Admirals entered the battle, Islewan charged into battle alongside several of the other allied captains. He returned to his ship, and after receiving Whitebeard's command, he and Amadob sailed to the port side of the bay to attack the Marines' battleships.
After Shanks and his crew came to stop the battle, Islewan stood next to Epoida with tears in his eyes, saddened by the loss of Ace and Whitebeard.
====Post-War Arc====
After the war, Islewan and the rest of the allied crew attended Whitebeard and Ace's funeral on an undisclosed island somewhere in the New World.
==Major Battles==
*Whitebeard Pirates vs. Roger Pirates
*Whitebeard Pirates and subordinate crews vs. the Marines and the Seven Warlords of the Sea
==Anime and Manga Differences==
In the manga version of Whitebeard and Ace's funeral in Chapter 590, Islewan cannot be seen among those in attendance. However, the anime version of the exact same scene in Episode 505 explicitly shows Islewan alongside the other attendees. Although it can be assumed that Islewan was at the funeral, there is no visual evidence of his attendance in the manga to support this assumption and, as such, his attendance can only be considered non-canon.
In the manga version of the battle between the Roger and Whitebeard Pirates in Chapter 966, Islewan can be seen charging alongside the Whitebeard Pirates into battle. However, the anime version of the same scene in Episode 966 does not show Islewan in the battle.
