One Piece/Characters/The Four Emperors: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

=== "Red-Haired" Shanks ===

[[File:Shanks_9070.png|frame]]

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Luffy is becoming more and more like him, rather than Roger, although Shanks notices the similarities in the two's personalities. However, Luffy is more passive while Roger {{spoiler|had a violent temper in battle that led (indirectly) to the deaths of both his [[Friendly Enemy]] Whitebeard and his own son}}.

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: The scars across his eye? [[Big Bad|Blackbeard]] gave Shanks those scars before Shanks lost his arm and before Blackbeard gained his Devil Fruit powers.

* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: When you're known to be Mihawk's former sparring partner and said spars are said to have shaken the Grand Line...

** When he and Whitebeard crossed blades, they cut the sky in half. ''The sky!''

 

 

[[File:Kaidophoto_2421.jpg|frame]]

 

Kaido is the third of the Four Emperors to be mentioned. Very little is known about him, except that Gekko Moriah fought him sometime in the past, lost, and had his crew killed. In the present time, Kaido tried to make a grab for power while Whitebeard was focused on fighting at the Marines' headquarters, {{spoiler|but Shanks prevented him from doing so. With Shanks showing up at Marineford, it is unknown what exactly went down between the two}}.

 

{{spoiler|Lost one of his favorite islands to "Red Flag" X. Drake of the Eleven Supernovas, but there's no word on how he reacted to it}}.

* [[Evil Overlord]]: Kaido seems to have dozens of underlings, allies, and islands under his control.

* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Kaido vs. Moriah, though it's implied Moriah wasn't so bad back then.

** {{spoiler|Also important to know others say he just wanted to wipe out Whitebeard when he was distracted on getting to Marineford}}.

=== Edward Newgate -- "Whitebeard" ===

[[File:Whitebeard_4142.png|frame]]

* [[Call Back]]: A Devil Fruit with the power to make tsunamis was first mentioned by Morgan in the very first explanation of Devil Fruits we ever got in-series.

* [[Captain Color Beard]]: Obviously.

* [[Cooldown Hug]]: After his ally, Squad, stabbed him and accused him of selling out his allies thanks to the Marines [[Batman Gambit|leaking false information to him]], Whitebeard gives him one, reassures him he would never abandon a single one of them, then charges into the fray to kick major ass.

* [[Covered with Scars]]: Whitebeard is covered with scars on every part of his body. Except his back: He never showed it to an enemy once.

* {{spoiler|[[Death by Irony]]}}: {{spoiler|All he wanted was a family, and one of his "sons" kills him. Admittedly he had already basically disowned the guy, but the point still stands}}.

* [[Determinator]]

* {{spoiler|[[Died Standing Up]]}}: {{spoiler|To further prove how badass he is}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Dying Moment of Awesome]]}}: {{spoiler|His final action, after spending the previous several chapters being stabbed, shot, bombarded, and having ''half his face melted off by lava'', was to fight Blackbeard one-on-one and [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|own him so thoroughly]] that the ''entire Blackbeard Pirates crew'' had to jump in before he stomped their captain like a bug. And even though all of that finally killed him... it still [[Died Standing Up|wasn't enough to make him fall]]}}.

** [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: ''Definitely'' the strongest person alive. {{spoiler|Not anymore, though. Alive, that is.}}

** [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: The most extreme example so far.

** [[Genius Bruiser]]: Turns out Whitebeard's no slouch on [[The Chessmaster|chess playing]]. He saw half of Sengoku's moves during the Marineford Arc coming; had he not, the Whitebeard Pirates and allies would have been finished far earlier than expected. It could also be said that both Sengoku and Whitebeard consider the other their [[Worthy Opponent]] in strategy.

** [[Ki Attacks]]: A confirmed Haki user.

** [[Superpower Lottery]]: [[Word of God]] is that the powers of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, a Paramecia-class, are '''no less''' than those of a ''Logia''. Even excluding that, the man is downright impressive.

** [[Super Toughness]]: For this man, [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] is the minimum amount of force required to even make him ''flinch''. Sword to the gut? That tickles. Several more? Tch. Cannon to the face? A pebble. ''{{spoiler|Half his fucking face melted off!}}''? Minor annoyance.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: {{spoiler| He was once one of the Rock Pirates, a group that included Big Mom and Kaidou. It seems odd that he'd associate with such violent criminals, although "friend" might be the wrong word to use, as that crew didn't get along very well anyway.}}

* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: Refers to his stab wound by Squad, after the latter tries to pull a [[Redemption Equals Death]], as "a little scratch", and {{spoiler|having nearly half of his head burnt clean off by Akainu merely gets him to speak one sentence in [[Tranquil Fury]] mode: "I'm just getting started"}}.

** {{spoiler|Technically, there were a few wounds on his back... where the swords went ''clean through'' his front! ''Said swords had been stuck in there for the past ten or so issues''. [[Annoying Arrows]] are nothing compared to Annoying ''Swords''}}.

* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: [[Up to Eleven]]

* [[Red Baron]]: He's either "Whitebeard" or "Pops", never "Edward Newgate".

* {{spoiler|[[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]}}: {{spoiler|After Ace's death.}}
