He knew that the youth are the keys to the future, and that their lives are far more important than his own is. His control over Busoshoku Haki was such that he could, in most cases, negate the intangibility of Logia-based Devil Fruits. What exactly are you looking for... eh, Newgate!? In initial appearances, he seemed unable to see any cause for alarm on any decision he made and refused all advice given to him, such as his nurse telling him not to drink heavily or Shanks warning him of Blackbeard. 白ひげ, Shirohige ), von vielen als legendäres Monster bezeichnet, war der stärkste Mensch des großen Piratenzeitalters . Based just on his brute strength alone, Newgate blocked a two-handed downward swing from the giant Vice Admiral John Giant with only one hand on his bisento, and extinguished the flames of one of Akainu's molten rocks with just a single breath.

Whitebeard never forgave the death of a crewmate. The very fact that he launched a surprise-attack on the admiral, one with very acute hearing, also demonstrates that Newgate had impressive stealth attributes, despite his gigantic size. (It should be noted that he held back until Ace's death at Akainu's hands) He has also been shown to be able to move at a considerable speed, having snuck up on Akainu, with the latter only realizing it once his soldiers yelled at him to watch out. He was always seen bare-chested, and wore light, loose pants tucked inside his large black boots, and a dark pirate sash around his waist. He was first mentioned by Commodore Brannew in a discussion of the current Shichibukai ranks to several high-ranking Marine officers, but was not explicitly named until after Donquixote Doflamingo's defeat. A distinguishing feature of Whitebeard's nature was his high moral standards: he never forgave the death of a crewmate, and believed that a man cannot live without some form of moral code. The first things he talked about when Shanks visited were old memories from the past twenty-two years, and when he saw Buggy during the war, he recalled some memories from the past.

He knew that the youth are the keys to the future, and that their lives are far more important than his own. He had a long face, ploughed because of the advanced age with many wrinkles around his eyes, and many scars running along his chest, and was very muscular.
His reign on the sea, reputation and foreboding power made him seemingly overconfident and fearless (to the point of making it seem that he considered admirals, Shichibukai and other Yonko to be annoyances more than legitimate threats).

Lastly, he informs Whitebeard about his plan, Whitebeard comments "Plotting something again are you...?" Quant à sa moustache, elle était inexistante... Plus tard, il laissa pousser une moustache spécialement entretenue, qui lui donnera son futur épithète : Barbe Blanche. Lorsqu'il était jeune, il n'avait pas de cicatrices sur la poitrine et il portait une veste grise foncée, ainsi qu'un bandana. Shiki attempts to create an alliance between him and Whitebeard, knowing that their combined power would be incredible, Whitebeard's response is to threaten to have Shiki thrown overboard. Whitebeard also prevented a massive paddle ship (captained by Squard) from further advancing using only one hand. He sustained 267 sword wounds, 152 gunshot wounds, and 46 wounds from cannonballs, 30 dog bites, and got half of his head blasted off, resulting in 465 injuries in total.

They competed often, leading to much bloodshed. He wore a black bandanna around his head and adorned himself with a white captain's coat, which hung loosely from his broad shoulders and bore his Jolly Roger symbol. In addition, Whitebeard was on the receiving end of one of Kizaru's laser beams and two of Akainu's magma blasts.

They are considered the biggest pirate threats to the World Government.Newgate's reputation was so great, his simple declaration of Fishman Island being his territory was enough to keep slave traders and pirates from attacking the place further, making Edward Newgate himself far more effective than the treaty signed with the World Government 200 years before his death. Most of the time he kept it in his right hand, and sometimes he was seen planting its blade in the ground, in order to use both of his hands freely for his Devil Fruit. With his Kenbunshoku Haki, Whitebeard was able to foresee all of Portgas D. Ace's attempts to kill him, even while asleep, retaliating to each assault and launching the young pirate away great distances, often causing damage to the ship while doing so. However, he was willing to go against his moral code under certain circumstances, such as when he instructed Ace to let Blackbeard go because he had an uneasy feeling about him. However, later revelations showed that he was much more thoughtful than he appeared to be. He could also use these shock waves to attack enemies, with either widespread or specific targets. He was able to jump to extreme heights to land shots on otherwise untouchable enemies, such as John Giant.
