Edward Newgate (エドワード・ニューゲート, Edowādo Nyūgēto), commonly known as Whitebeard (ホワイトビアード, Howaito Bīdo), is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates and is often referred to as the “Strongest Man in the World” (世界最強の男, Sekai Saikyō no Otoko). He commands a formidable crew of over 1600 members divided into 16 subordinate crews, each led by a powerful captain. Whitebeard is recognized not only for his immense strength but also for his deep connections to the legendary treasure, One Piece.
Known as the “Strongest Man in the World,” Whitebeard possesses an unparalleled physical strength that makes him a formidable force. He is also one of the few individuals who can be compared to the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, in battle.
With his immense strength, few dare to challenge him. His notable rivals include the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, the red-haired Shanks, Crocodile, and the Marine Admirals Garp and Sengoku.
