Edward Newgate, better known as Whitebeard, is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates and widely considered to be the strongest man in the world. He is the only man to ever match the Pirate King Gol D. Roger in a fight. He ate the Tremor-Tremor devil fruit that turned him into a "Quake Man" and giving him the power to create destructive shockwaves. He was one of the Yonko, the four most powerful pirates in the world, that rule over the New World, the second half of the Grand Line.
