Jozu

After their failure at the Battle of Marineford and the subsequent Payback War, the Whitebeard Pirates officially disbanded, and Jozu is likely in hiding somewhere much like his comrade Marco.
Due to his actions he is a major ally during the Marineford Arc.

Shadows belonging to strong willed people are difficult to control, allowing them to rebel against Moria's pact which usually immediately submits a shadow to his supremacy and orders. Spiritual energy is contained within one's soul/life; this energy is represented by the fighting power or the Haki itself. Those with strong souls, which are homologous to shadows, resist the effects of Brook's soul manipulation)
Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level (Could draw a small amount of blood from an off-guard Aokiji, and briefly engaged him in battle before being defeating. The databook states that his power and arm strength are top class4.56 Petatons, possibly 67.2 Exatons)

Weaknesses: Standard Devil Fruit users weaknesses
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Haki: There are normally two types of Haki regular people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busōshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is however a third type of Haki, Haōshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use. Jozu is not one of these people.
*Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): A form of Haki that allows the user to create an "invisible armor" around themselves. With that, they can protect themselves from attacks, and if trained well, use it to deliver stronger attacks. Besides the increase of strength, it is the only form of attack that doesn't involve Kairouseki that can hit any Devil Fruit user, being able to hit the user's original body even if it's a Logia user. It can also be used in weapons.
*Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation or Mantra): Jozu's proficiency with this type of Haki is notable as could tell the emperors split the clouds even before looking up in the sky.
Kira Kira no Mi: Jozu ate a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which lets him transform his body into diamond. His defense greatly increases and he's less likely to take damage.
*Brilliant Punk: Jozu rushes into an enemy, tackling them by slamming his diamond-transformed forearm into their body.
