## Overview

Vhagar usually maintains a stern, serious, and somewhat distanced personality, though this has been lost or exaggerated during some comedic moments. Outside of certain situations where he feels he has the edge in some capacity, he tends to smile or laugh the least out of the Olympians. In fact, Vhagar even tries to distance himself from the crew and tries to evade fooling around in majority of the situations he becomes involved in. Even in moments that are particularly light hearted or tough, Vhagar tends to remain quiet than outwardly express his emotions. He has been shown to believe that these emotions should remain private and to himself only. In fact, when Athermos told the crew(at the time Rayne and Pancho) why he was traveling with them, Vhagar felt and voiced mild feelings of betrayal for his captain's choice in revealing this to the two crew members. Despite this, he has shown no negative feelings in repetitively stating his goals to his crew since the events of Shokupan Island.

Even though Vhagar cares for the crew, he can come off as a blunt, cold, and somewhat distrusting person, notably whenever he is trying to get his point across. During the planning on The (Sailing) Pantheon on the outskirts of Treasure Island, Vhagar stated that he hadn't known Hestuser, Al, and Raijin for more than a day or two prior to him being knocked unconscious and as such they had his respect but very little of his trust. Vhagar also often reminds others of facts through harsh and cold statements, which can rub people the wrong way but they ultimately decide they agree with what he says. This is especially true in regards to strangers, as Vhagar shows little trust in others. This was both vocalized and showcased on several occasions, as he is one of the less easy going members of the crew. However, this has been dwindling down overtime, as he seems to have learned to place his trust in others more often.

Vhagar is also incredibly perceptive, something he demonstrates by providing important and logical decisions at critical times, even if they ultimately end up hurting himself. One such example of this was when he chose to act as the First mate proper and tell the crew to leave Polarhaven, opting to stay and hold off Butley so they could escape. Much like Hestuser, Vhagar is quite capable of acting childish and immature during certain situations, though this is usually only toward his crew. An example of being incredibly perceptive but also jokisch is when he calls Hestuser "Spice Boy", as he had taken into account the way Hestuser fights and also a comeback for the constant terms "Fanboy" the former calls him. He also seems to be partially irreverent, simply choosing to focus more on what is clearly in front of him than worry about matters that cannot be answered at the current point in time they end up coming up.

Like Athermos, but in direct contrast to Hestuser, Vhagar has shown little to no interest or attraction toward women(or men) he has met. He was not enticed or won over by the beauty or charms of Rayne when she joined, nor did he let the fact Arawn was a women distract him from fighting. Instead, Vhagar seems to rather focus on whatever task is at hand and his goals. Despite this, Vhagar has acted flustered around some women, notably Rayne, though not in any romantic ways. These have more or less been comedical moments, and have never held any significant weight to the story.

### Honor & Loyalty

Vhagar has a strong sense of leadership and loyalty, being a dedicated follower of the samurai philosophy and doctrine of Bushido. This includes the code of honor and integrity where he only fights fair and square, the only exception being when his friends are in immediate danger of losing their lives. He is also very loyal and will stand by Athermos's decisions regardless of his own feelings toward them, stepping in only to point out the seriousness of the situation or the lack of additional thought in a decision. Vhagars' values of loyalty and honor extend so far that even when having to team up with an enemy, he refuses to double cross them until the conditions resulting in them having teamed up are complete. This attitude towards crewmates received negative attention from the crew(notably Raijin) and provokes yelling or disagreements between the crew when it occurs.

### Kindness & Morality

Despite his less than ideal upbringing and experiences, Vhagar has a very kind heart, as he was determining whether they should help Rayne with the Kurogaru Pirates problem on Clockship Island shortly after his introduction. Another such example was when, as a child, Vhagar made a promise to the spirit of Snow Flower despite having never met her personally or having any sort of real attachment to the blade as of yet. When fighting weaker or innocent people, he does try to hold back when fighting and use the dull side of his swords in order not to seriously injure them. though his monstrous strength still manages to cause great damage.

A rarely seen aspect of his kindness is that he has no qualms cutting down evil individuals who act with extreme malice, especially towards people he cares about or intends to help. This was shown during his second interaction with Golatzar on Clockship Island, where had it not been for the mention of his sister, Vhagar would have killed Golatzar there and then. Vhagar is also humble when it comes to receiving and expressing gratitude from others or to others whenever he saves people. Notably, he only acts on saving others who are innocent, or can provide direct information to him, the latter happening in the case of Golatzar, while the former happened in the case of Lynx after realizing he was not a bad person. When he first met Ainya, Vhagar outright told her to put a bullet into his brain, get off their ship, or let them help her take down the Shadow Tides.

### Carefulness, Recklessness, & Ruthlessness

Vhagar is extremely careful, especially during the heat of battle, trying to avoid situations that would put him at a disadvantage if he could help it. Despite this, his own emotions get the better of him, especially when agitated, as he quickly loses his ability to be careful and lets himself act purely based on emotion. Many times, he has suffered injuries which would kill a normal person and muscled through them through sheer willpower, such as when he was given his gaping scar by Mr. 6 managing to maintain consciousness long enough to consume the Mizu Mizu no Mi. As a result of these conditions, he is often left heavily bloodied and bandaged, and has gained more scars than anyone else in the Olympian Dreamer Pirates crew. Majority of which were notably inflicted after joining Athermos as a pirate.

Despite this, he has a habit of ignoring these dire injuries and continuing to fight, sometimes before he is fully healed. His recklessness extends to the point of self-mutilation, such as where he continues fighting and straining or reopening wounds as a result. This often leaves him in crippling agony, which he masks by not stating anything until he is in the comfort of people he trusts; at which point he knows they will just bandage and help him anyways. Furthermore, Vhagar tends to face death in a defiant manner and show no fear of dying even when he is in a gravely injured state. Likewise Vhagar has a habit of trying to throw his life away to protect the people he cares for, even if he knows it's in vain. Similarly when in the face of danger, he will often be blunt and to the point.

Unlike some of the members of the crew, notably Athermos, Vhagar does not shrink from the idea of using deadly force against dangerous enemies and is capable of exuding a tremendous amount of murderous intent. He can be extremely intimidating, easily frightening weaker, stronger, or even on-par opponents just by the way he fights alone. His willingness and intent to kill notably came from an event in the past that had killed his mother and supposedly his sister and pet wolf, albeit he later discovered they were still alive. Vhagar has only ever showed being above committing murder whenever he is formerly told not to kill, such as during the North Blue War, where Athermos gave the specific rules not to kill unless necessary.

### Sword Attachments

Though not to a significant extent, Vhagar has shown incredible attachment to two swords specifically, Snow Flower and Ace. He primarily holds attachment to these blades for the values they have, each being related to people he is directly in relation too which only elevates his attachment. Vhagar often holds them close when napping and has a borderline psychic link to the swords. Vhagar is particularly attached to Snow Flower because it used to belong to his presumably deceased father, having inherited it just before Viserys left. He would go on to then obtain it after completing its trials on his 6th Birthday. He also is quite attached to Ace even though he just got the sword, notably because it belonged to his uncle, Gold Roger. His attachment extends so far that when Snow Flower was first destroyed by Mihawk, Vhagar went into a one week coma. It's speculated he only came out of the coma because he sensed Ace nearby, as they were just shy from the sword's resting place, Treasure Island. This has yet to be confirmed, denied, or proven, though. Similarly, after Snow Flower was repaired, Vhagar notably increased in mood to the point where he expressed several genuine smiles, albeit disturbing ones. He has since also gained a notable trust increase from Ace, and Snow Flower compliments him now as well, showing their relationship has only increased since.

## Crew Relations

Vhagar, despite vocalizing he didn't trust some of the members as much, seemed nevertheless eager and ready to protect and save his comrades whenever they were in danger, along with strangers. Along with Athermos, Vhagar was there for all of the crew members recruitments, and had different first impressions toward each member. Furthermore, he was willing to trade his life for the entire crews and entrust the entire crew about his desire to save his sister. Similarly, he had entrusted his dream of saving her to Athermos, and outright told the crew to take Hestuser and the others and leave when his captain and cook tried to tell Vhagar not to do so. Vhagar is frequently asleep on the ship and somewhat distant with the crew, trusting some members more than the others. Despite this, he has grown to the point where he seems to trust them all equally, depicted by the fact he has told them about his goal of saving his sister of his own accord several times.

### Dansei D. Athermos

Having known Athermos the longest, Vhagar seems to have an especially high respect, loyalty, and trust for his captain, not only because of his role but also their understanding of one another. Despite sometimes getting annoyed with him or frustrated whenever Athermos does something he disagrees with, he never lets them get in the way of their relationship for an extended period of time. Likewise, he seems to have a deep understanding of Athermos and his thought process, and trusts him so much that if he were to pass he entrusted his dream of saving Rhaena to Athermos. This deep respect, loyalty, trust, and understanding has been demonstrated on numerous occasions. For instance, he willingly threw away his dream of saving Rhaena if it met Athermos, and the rest of the crew, would be able to leave Polarhaven alive.

Despite this trust, respect, understanding, and loyalty, Vhagar has showcased to be angry when Athermos first told Rayne and Pancho about his situation with Rhaena. In doing so, it had strained their relationship temporarily. Despite this, they have since cleared up the situation and the duo had moved on from it by the time they left Goto Island. Vhagar seems to value Athermos' dream as well, repeatedly expressing it and stating that his job was to help Athermos achieve said dream of becoming Pirate King. In spite of this, whenever Athermos does something stupid or fails to meet his expectations, Vhagar vocalizes this sentiment.

Likewise, Athermos seems adept at Vhagar's survival and trusts him deeply, to the point where the former would not eat when he thought Vhagar was at risk while he was in a coma. In addition, Vhagar seems to care about Athermos' eating habits, often feeding him some of his portions whenever he gets food. Vhagar will occasionally cover Athermos's mouth whenever he says something that might anger the crewmates.

### Hanish Rayne

Next to Athermos, Vhagar has known Rayne the longest, being amongst the first three crewmates of the Olympian Pirates. They are often one of the ones to communicate the most, with their conversations typically being borderline disrespectful in a gag way. Despite this, Vhagar has a great respect for her. When they first met on Clockship Island, he showed distrust for her until learning of the situation she was in with the Kurogaru Pirates. He immediately offered his services to aid her, though disguised it as being a means to an end to get a bounty. This was the start of their relationship, and it has only since continued to grow. Despite not knowing her for long at that point in time, he trusted Athermos' life to her, and was ready to lay down his life in a battle against Golatzar if it meant they could help her situation.

By the end of their ordeals on Clockship Island, Vhagar showcased the highest faith that she would join the crew, not objecting to it when Athermos asked about it. When Athermos was getting worried that she wouldn't come to join when they were about to leave, Vhagar reiterated she would and pretended to fall asleep. After she joined the crew, he seemed to enjoy her company the most next to Athermos, trusting her opinions, advice, and smiling whenever she would playfully disrespect Athermos. The duo seemed to have a special kind of understanding about how to handle situations as well, coming to the same conclusions despite having different means of getting there. Just before the crew arrived on Goto Island, when Rayne mentioned Vhagar's sister he had shown some sort of recline from her, but it was immediately put a stop too when Rayne told him it could help save his sister.

Since then, the duo have continuously grown closer, to the point where they playfully banter. Despite this, one of Vhagar's biggest gags is constantly being electrocuted or struck by Rayne whenever he would say or do something disrespectful. In matters of navigation, Vhagar has complete trust that she can get them to whenever they have to go. Likewise, Rayne trusts in Vhagar's combative abilities and his ability to do what needs to be done, even if it's in a way that she disagrees with. Rayne, next to Athermos, also cares deeply for Vhagar's well being, being one of the few to consistently patch him up whenever he has been injured.

### Pharocan Pancho

Vhagar and Pancho have a relationship similar to that of close friends, with the duo often conversing. They first met on Maple Island wherein a brief misunderstanding caused Vhagar to inform Pancho that not all pirates were bad. Their relationship only grew from there where before the Crossbone Pirates attacked, Vhagar showed comfortability in letting Pancho unlock Snow Flower's abilities. This relationship reached its all time peak where by the time the crew arrived on Treasure Island, Pancho was included in the list of people Vhagar trusted most. Since then the duo continued having a growing relationship.

When the crew crashed against Verdant Isle, it was revealed Pancho fixed Snow Flower after it was destroyed. In doing so, Vhagar admitted that he owed Pancho a great debt for this, while Pancho shrugged it off and was just glad he was able to fix it. Much like the rest of his crew, Vhagar was willing to die for Pancho during their stay on Polarhaven if it meant he and the rest of the crew could escape. Much like Rayne, Pancho is worried about Vhagar's safety and helps bandage him up whenever he can.

### Alchuss Al

Al and Vhagar have very brief one-on-one interactions with one another, though seem to have a great deal of respect and care for one another. They don't bicker often and Al, along with Pancho and Rayne, seems to help bandage Vhagar whenever he is injured, expressing worry about his safety. Beyond this, Vhagar seems to respect him as a crewmate even though at one point in time he didn't trust him as much as the other crewmates. This changed when he willingly revealed his goal to save his sister, showcasing that he trusts Al just as much as the rest of the crew. Much like the rest of the crew, Vhagar was willing to die for Al if it meant he and the others would escape Polarhaven.

### Kaminari Raijin

Of all of the Olympians, Raijin and Vhagar hold the biggest strained relationship. When they first met it was under circumstances that were less than acceptable, as Raijin had almost damaged their ship by sending a Pirate crashing into it. After they formally introduced themselves, whenever Vhagar was put into a dangerous situation Raijin often by accentuating it. This first showed when Raijin told Mihawk that Vhagar wanted to die, much to the dismay of Rayne, Pancho, and Al. They also seem to trust each other the least, with Raijin outright exposing the fact Vhagar had trust issues while the crew were coming up with a war plan. When Hestuser defended Vhagar, Raijin continued pushing the issue, much to the dismay of the others. Despite this, they seem to have a decently respectable relationship as Raijin still listens to Vhagar's orders, and they trust each other enough with their lives. However, Raijin seems to be on the fence about anything beyond the basic pirate duties as he still thinks Vhagar doesn't trust him as much. This, however, is somewhat disproven as Vhagar willingly revealed his goal to save his sister, showing he does trust Raijin. Like for the rest of the crew, Vhagar is willing to die for Raijin.

### Charlotte "Shefu" Hestuser

Despite to a lesser extent and only after being egged on by Hestuser, Vhagar seems to compete with Hestuser in some ways. Despite this, they seem to trust each other the most, and their back-and-forth relationship started on Shokupan Island while being reciprocated on Treasure Island. Their rivalry however did not start until Polarhaven, wherein the duo began to start bickering more and more over petty matters. This has extended to inopportune moments, but they are still able to work together when the time calls for it. Likewise, they behave in somewhat childish manners, but they never let it get in the way of their true goals.

Vhagar, much like Hestuser, has a habit of calling Hestuser by names that border insulting. Rarely calling Hestuser by name by the time the crew arrive on Treasure Island. While Vhagar typically calls Hestuser "Salt Boy", Hestuser calls him "Fanboy". This has gotten to the point where they refer to each other by these nicknames more than they do their actual names. Despite their comical insulting and rivalry, they have an unspoken trust, care, and respect for one another. While initially showing reserves in trusting Hestuser and being confronted about it by Raijin, Hestuser immediately defended him, understanding where he was coming from. This has since ended as they now respect and trust each other almost more than anyone else, defending each other whenever the need arises, be it in battle or conversation.

When the duo are paired up with each other, it is often presented narratively and visually as Athermos's biggest support. Likewise, when the duo teamed up against a common foe form a nigh-unstoppable team. Despite their differences, they rely on each other to have their captain's backs as well as each other's. The duo both show deep care for the crew as well, and one another's safety. This was especially prominent when Hestuser told Vhagar not to be stupid and let Hestuser sacrifice himself, to which Vhagar rebutted and pulled rank despite Hestuser's compelling argument.

### Ainya

Having known one another for the least amount of time, Vhagar seems to hold Ainya to a decent level of respect and regard. When Ainya first snuck aboard, she reminded Vhagar of a younger him and his sister, going out of his way to try and reinforce the fact he wanted to help her. Despite this, his way of doing so was to scare her, much to the dismay of Rayne and utter anger of Hestuser. They seem to be on okay terms though, as he had no qualms about Ainya joining the crew.

## Family Relations

Vhagar seems to have an incredibly close relationship to all the members of his family, both immediate and extended. This is especially evident with his father and sister, whom he shares the closest relationships with. Despite this, he loves all of his family members and their deaths(in Rhaena and Yase's case, supposed deaths) hit him just as hard.

### Vermithor D. Viserys

Viserys and Vhagar share a close and loving relationship. Vhagar shows concern when Viserys announces his departure to help their friends and Vhagar's uncles, Gaban and Rayleigh. However, Vhagar understood and wished his father luck, assuring him that he, along with his mother and sister, will await his return. Viserys expresses gratitude and acknowledges Vhagar's love and admiration. Vhagar similarly learned about the importance of trust and discovered their connection to the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and the Mark of D, through his father. Before leaving, Viserys entrusted his sword to Vhagar, who was ecstatic and grateful for the inheritance. Vhagar receives final lessons from his father, aspiring to follow in his footsteps. On the day of departure, Vhagar encouraged his father and promised to become a strong swordsman like him and his mother, showing the importance and meaning of family.

The devastating news of Viserys' murder causes Vhagar deep sorrow and distress, but he finds solace and inspiration in a letter from his father. Viserys reassures Vhagar, expressing love and gratitude, and instills confidence in him. The letter becomes a cherished memento, symbolizing their everlasting connection. During the trial to acquire Snow Flower, Vhagar encountered a manifestation of his father, with Viserys clarifying that he is not a ghost but a figment of Vhagar's mind. They engage in a conversation where Viserys expresses his pleasure at Vhagar's growth. Vhagar shares his traumatizing experiences during the trials. Viserys explains that the purpose of their encounter is a mental battle to test Vhagar's worthiness of handling Snow Flower. Vhagar realizes it is not a physical confrontation and overcomes his initial fear. Viserys advises Vhagar to keep his voice down and emphasizes the importance of overcoming self-doubt.

Vhagar takes the opportunity to express his feelings of emptiness after Viserys' death, gaining a sense of closure. Viserys imparts a significant lesson about the meaning of death, emphasizing that people only die when they are forgotten. Vhagar understands and concludes that as long as he remembers his father, Viserys will always be alive. Viserys reminisces about the joy of Vhagar's birth, expressing love and pride for both Vhagar and Rhaena. He encourages Vhagar to take his time before their reunion. Vhagar salutes his father, promising to deliver the message and displaying determination for their eventual meeting.

### Vermithor D. Laena

Much like his relationship with his father and sister, Vhagar loves his mother dearly. Prior to the death of his father, they were close and remained so even after his departure and eventual death. After obtaining the letter, Vhagar had expressed a deep love and care for his mother as well. Their relationship has since grown until her death, with them having parties and expressing deep interest in one another's livelihood. When his mother was killed, Vhagar expressed great sorrow and still thinks about it to this day. However, much like how he inherited his father's sword, Vhagar inherited his mother's Devil Fruit, showing that she was still with him even when dead.

### Vermithor D. Rhaena

Being Vhagar's only sibling, the duo share an incredible bond with one another, sharing in playful banter and giving each other nicknames that symbolize their meaning to one another. Likewise, they both share a great trust in one another, while each also endearing their siblings and having faith in each other. Sometimes the duo share envy for one another's skill sets, with Vhagar doing so much more than Rhaena. After their father died, the duo grew distant until after Vhagar received his father's letter. In doing so, they got closer to one another once more with the duo going to retrieve Vhagar's inherited sword. They showed they cared and had faith in their abilities along with expressing deep care in the livelihood of one another. Vhagar likewise helped Rhaena achieve her inherited sword. When Rhaena was killed, Vhagar was devastated and had a goal of living his life for her and the rest of his family. after discovering she was still alive, Vhagar's new goal was to rescue her and meet her again once more. This became something that temporarily strained the entire crew's relationship and a secret that showed he had nothing but trust for a person.

### Yase

Despite not having many interactions, Vhagar cares deeply about Yase and vice versa, evident by the fact he bought Yase a gift.

### Gaban

Gaban seems to be one of two of Vhagar's favorite uncles, the other being Rayleigh, whom Vhagar had just recently reconnected with on Polarhaven. In doing so, he seems to still hold Gaban to a high respect and loves him deeply, which is reciprocated. When Vhagar was attempting to sacrifice himself for his crew, Gaban saved all of their lives and told them to leave. In doing so, Vhagar said he wouldn't forgive Gaban if he got killed or captured.

## Warlord Relations

### Dracule Mihawk

Vhagar holds a high value of respect towards Mihawk, being the first enemy Vhagar was completely outmatched against who was a swordsman without a chance at fighting them again. When they first met on Shokupan Island, it was after Mihawk nearly destroyed the Sailing Pantheon. Despite this, Vhagar seems to be a huge fan of Mihawk, with him being his dream of one day defeating. He is the one swordsman Vhagar aims of one day defeating to become one of the best. His respect is reciprocated, as Mihawk lets him live despite Vhagar being utterly outmatched and at first not having Mihawk's respect. Mihawk even went so far that he claimed he would stay at the top and would await the day Vhagar surpasses him as a swordsman and they would duel again.

## Marine Relations

Vhagar is considered the second largest threat and dangerous member of the crew after Athermos despite Hestuser's origins being known. Likewise, Vhagar seems to have a deep hatred for Marines in general, mostly in part because of Snow Flowers' origins. Despite this, Vhagar seems to have a compelling relationship with two members in particular, and doesn't have a grudge, nor begrudge Athermos, for having a Vice Admiral Grandpa, Uronos.

### Arawn

Vhagar has a unique relationship with Arawn from the G4 Marine Branch, which formally begun on Treasure Island during the North Blue War. After meeting in combat, the duo immediately had a grudge against one another, to which a situation arose that made Vhagar announce a swordsman code. Despite this, Arawn seemed to disagree and stated her sense of justice was above that even if she was a swordsman, which greatly angered Vhagar. During their battle when they were forced to team up, the duo formed banter, a recurring theme that ended up in their meetings being called "dates". This was much to the dismay of Hestuser, who called Vhagar an enemy dater and expressed a very low level of jealousy at the fact, despite Hestuser's relationship with Rayne. When they teamed up, the duo seemed to have a great trust and understanding of one another and their skills. Unlike most marines who he despises, Vhagar seems to somewhat care and have a slight soft spot for Arawn.

### Umi Umi Suima

Not much is known about this relationship besides the fact Vhagar seems to be thankful to Suima for saving his life. While Suima was a Marine Admiral at the time of meeting and saving Vhagar's life, the duo do not have any current contact with one another. Likewise, Suima seems especially intent on having Vhagar survive when they first met due to Suima's relationship with Vhagar's mother.

## Enemy Relations

Outside of Marines, Vhagar seems to principle a respect with his opponents, especially if they are swordsman. He won't go out of his way for them unless it benefits him, but he will stay as close to respectful as he can unless they anger him. This often results in his enemies doing the same thing, with them leaving the battlefield with more respect than anything else for one another regardless of who wins or loses.

### Sufjan Golatzar

Being Vhagar's first challenge since setting sail from Dusk Island, Vhagar and Golatzar started off with a banter similar to enemies. Over the course of their battle, Golatzar taunted Vhagar to no end and gave Vhagar a deep disdain toward him. During their second encounter, Vhagar gained Golatzar's respect while disrespecting Golatzar in their battle. However, after learning Golatzar had faced his sister in the past, the duo seemed to gain a very minimum level of trust for one another and the ability to stand each others presence. After learning what Golatzar knew, Vhagar let Golatzar go knowing they would one day come into contact once more.

Even after having learned Golatzar was a marine, Vhagar holds some empathy because of what ended up transpiring. Likewise, after they departed from one another, Golatzar still held a high respect for Vhagar. This was accentuated when they met once more on Treasure Island. They seem to still hold a deep respect to the point Golatzar contemplates his orders over his honor as a swordsman. After a stern talk about the swordsman code, he along with Lynx opted to combat Vhagar before following their orders. This ultimately led to a temporary alliance against Arawn with Golatzar, himself, and Lynx. Likewise, after learning Vhagar combatted and survived against Mihawk, Golatzar's respect grew even more. When Vhagar defeated Golatzar, both smiled at each other, showing they held no resentment for the circumstances leading them to battle, and they both would remain respected by one another.

### Lynx

Lynx and Vhagar's relationship is much more intense and a weaker version of what Vhagar has with Golatzar. While they have respect for each other, it seemed to be in a way that was brought upon because of Vhagar's origin. With them being near equals at the time of their fight, Lynx was essentially the factor leading to Vhagar developing his swordsmanship once more. When they left they had an understanding and slight respect for each other, which was only further influenced because Lynx had very briefly told Vhagar about Busoshoku Haki. When they met on Treasure Island, Lynx, Golatzar, and Vhagar still had respect for each together, to the point where they didn't mind allying to defeat Arawn.

### Whisper

The circumstances beyond their first meeting with one another was one of respect immediately, with each other smoking together before battling proper. Vhagar holds a decent respect for Whisper and vice-versa, in part because of their skills as swordsman. This extended to the point where Vhagar was able to develop his own swordsmanship style using two swords. On his last legs Whisper showed gratitude for combatting Vhagar and being the one to help develop that style, even if it was through combat. In addition, he told Vhagar if he defeated Whisper then the Grand Line wouldn't be impossible to conquer, but proved he was ready for it. Proving him correct, Vhagar stated if they ever met again they should challenge each other, or they would meet in the afterlife and fight then, promptly defeating and leaving afterward.
