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

Line 158:
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Every pirate in his crew is considered his son, and they consider each other brothers. Strangely enough there doesn't seem to be any daughters/sisters...
** 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]].
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: He was called "Pops" or "Old Man" (Specifically, ''Oyaji'', an informal variation of "father") by his crew.
* [[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]]''''': Indisputably the most [[Badass]] character in the series.
** [[Badass Boast]]: '''"''I. AM. WHITEBEARD''!"''' Let's face it, it's all he needs.
** [[Badass Crew]]: You wouldn't be a member of this guy's crew unless you were pretty badass yourself.
** [[Badass Grandpa]]: ''72'' years old, but still capable of tearing an Admiral several new assholes.
** [[Badass Longcoat]]: Almost as [[Badass]] as his moustache.
Line 171 ⟶ 173:
* [[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.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: At 79 years old, he was more like the ''coolest'' old guy in the series!
* [[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.
Line 212 ⟶ 215:
** [[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.
** [[World's Strongest Man]]: Literally referred to as such, and he more than lives up to it.
* [[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"}}.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Never kill or threaten to kill a member of his crew, unless you want a war you have a high probability of losing.
