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

 

== {{spoiler|Marshall D. Teach -- "Blackbeard"}} ==

 

 

** At least one of his captains, Haruta, seems to be a tomboysh girl. And since this habit extends to his allies as well, there are definitely "daughters" like [[Action Girl|White Bay]].

* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: In his first few appearances in the series, Whitebeard comes off as seeming to think that any decision he makes is the correct one regardless of potential consequences, even brushing off warnings from fellow Emperor Shanks. However, this later turns out to be a [[Jerkass Facade]], as Whitebeard demonstrates that he isn't nearly as full of himself as he would like you to believe. Most likely he wanted to make sure he had a reputation for being fearsome and unreasonable to help keep the islands under his protection safe.

** [[Badass Boast]]: '''"''I. AM. WHITEBEARD''!"''' Let's face it, it's all he needs.

** [[Badass Grandpa]]: ''72'' years old, but still capable of tearing an Admiral several new assholes.

** [[Brought Down to Badass]]: Blackbeard attacks Newgate with his darkness power, gloating about how it will nullify his earthquake ability... quite forgetting that he is facing the 18 foot tall World's Strongest Man with an even longer bisento.

* [[Bald of Awesome]]: In his later years, though he covers it with a bandanna.

** [[Sword Beam]]: He can infuse his bisento with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's powers to send a massive shockwave towards anything he swings it at. You ''do not'' want to be in the way.

* [[Big Good]]: Considered as much of a threat as "The Revolutionary" Dragon, Whitebeard was known as "The World's Strongest Man" for being the only one that fought on par with the Pirate King Roger. However he's generally less active nowadays compared to the other two (especially given that one of them is dead). That aside, since pirates are one of the two biggest threats to the World Government, his moral foundation counters and conflicts with the WG's ruthless control.

* [[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.

* [[Determinator]]

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

* [[Berserk Button]]: Insult or harm anyone he cares about about and he won't hesitate to drop you. {{spoiler|Unfortunately this trait leads straight to his downfall, wasting the effort Luffy and his comrades put into saving him}}.

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]/[[Cool Big Sis|Cool Big Bro]]: Fills both roles exceptionally.

* [[Character Development]]: There's a lot behind that friendly face that you wouldn't expect. Just trace his backstory from him as a child to a rookie on Whitebeard's crew to how he is now.

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]

* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: He's got a [[Running Gag]] of falling asleep at random intervals and making everyone around him panic.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Bastard]]}}

* [[I Have No Son]]: Inverted. Ace totally disavows ''his birth father'', using his mother's name and claiming Whitebeard is the only father he has. {{spoiler|His dad was dead before he was born, anyway}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Ki Attacks]]}}: {{spoiler|Capable of using the King's Ambition Haki}}

* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]: Ate a Logia Devil Fruit, so natch. Too bad he had to face someone who could [[Brought Down to Normal|nullify]] that, then someone with [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|a superior element]].

* [[One-Man Army]]: He took out multiple Marine ships with one attack, with no effort.

* [[The Promise]]: He made one with Luffy when they were children to go out to sea and live their lives free of regrets.

* {{spoiler|[[The Reveal]]}}: [[Epileptic Trees|As many fans theorized]], {{spoiler|Ace is NOT directly related to the Monkey family. He is in fact ''Gold Roger's'' son}}. Bet ya never saw ''that'' coming, did ya?

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: He's well over 20 feet tall, but is incredibly fast.

* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]: {{spoiler|Not to the same extent as other characters, but he ''is'' literally [[Made of Diamond]], so..}}.

* {{spoiler|[[The Worf Effect]]: Despite showing capable of blocking one of Mihawk's slashes and wounding Crocodile with a punch, he is quickly 'controlled' for a period by Doflamingo and then quickly removed from the Marineford War in quick order to Aokiji, as the battle moves to the plaza}}.

* [[Top-Heavy Guy]]
