**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. Whitebeard is one of these people.

* **Haōshoku Haki (Color of the Conquering King):** Newgate's level of proficiency with this Haki was displayed during his fight against Gol D. Roger 28 years before the current events. They created a massive shockwave that engulfed the island they were fighting in when they produced a Clash between their Conqueror's Hakis.

* **Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments):** His level with this Haki was high enough to imbue his Murakumogiri with it, displaying the ability to use Goken's basic level when he clashed swords with Roger without touching each other's blade.

* **Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation or Mantra):** Whitebeards proficiency with this type of Haki is notable. Being able to react to attacks from some of the fastest characters in the world proves that he was, at the very least, very proficient with it. He could also prevent getting assassinated by Ace while sleeping, noticing his attempt to keep sleeping afterwards.

**Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor-Tremor Fruit):** Whitebeard ate the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, turning him into a "Tremor Human" that can create incredibly powerful shockwaves through virtually any medium, including air, land, and the seafloor.

* **Kaishin:** Whitebeard swings his arm (or arms) and literally cracks the air itself, sending devastating shock waves through the air in the direction it is facing. These shock waves are able to pass through and damage almost any substance, literally tearing it apart. The shock waves can also be sent into the sea, generating huge tsunamis, and can be used in conjunction with physical attacks in close-quarters combat - as Akainu can attest. This attack is so powerful, that the combined Busoshoku Haki of all three Admirals was needed to nullify it.
	+ **Gekishin:** A close range version of Kaishin, causing severe damage to even giants and an admiral. He can also passively generate vibrations around himself to ward off attacks like Aokiji's freezing mist.

* **Kabutowari:** Whitebeard converges quakes into a sphere of focused power around his fist, effectively harnessing his terrible destructive power into a pinpoint attack he can use in close-quarters combat while avoiding collateral damage (evident when Moby Dick's deck didn't suffer a single dent when he crushes Ronse's head with a quake bubble against it).

* **Naginata Rasetsu:** Whitebeard surrounds his bisento with the same bubble to greatly increase its striking power and range

* **Shima Yurashi:** Whitebeard grips the air as if it were tangible and pulls on it, releasing a massive shockwave that was powerful enough to tilt all of Marineford despite its reinforcements along with the seas that Aokiji had frozen.

* **Quake-Explosion:** Similar to his quake bubble, Whitebeard focuses his quake power around in a sphere of focused power, with the difference that he then sends it forward and releases it in an explosion-like quake.
