**Whitebeard** is one of the members of the Yonko and leader of the Whitebeard Pirates.

## Background

Not much is known about Newgate's childhood but his past was knew ever since he gathered and made a crew. He wasn't really interested in finding treasure like the other pirates but one thing he was interested in was making a family. Newgate was Rodger's rival and somehow both of them earned respect after when they made it to Raftle. After Rodger's execution, a man known as Shiki broke out of his cell in Impel Down and met Whitebeard at the ship Moby Dick. However, Newgate threw Shiki out of board when he tried to form an alliance to further his world domination. He became if not the most strongest man on the sea, feared by many people even when saying his name, and was branded by the World Government as a Yonko, as one of the four most strongest pirate.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Gura Gura no Mi:**After eating the Paracemia Type-Fruit known as Tremor Tremor Fruit, the fruit grants Whitebeard the power to create massive vibratioans, shockwaves or powerful quakes in any medium like the usual ground, seafloor and even air itself. Said to be one of the most strongest Devil-Fruit within the Paracemia-Class, the quakes are strong enough to easily destroy islands, glaciers larger than the surrounding mountains, create massive tsunamis that dwarfs the surrounding mountains, and even one shot a giant with a single quake punch. Due to its massive power, it was stated by Sengoku that Whitebeard holds the power to destroy the world.
	+ **​Gekishin:**A close-range version of it which is strong enough to damage the likes of Akainu and giants.
