Hello!
I am KENTA, a Japanese who loves One Piece!
In this issue, we will discuss the illness of Edward Newgate, aka Whitebeard, a man once called the world’s most powerful man.
Although he lost his life during the Summit War, I believe his strength has been etched in the eyes of readers.
Because of his dynamic personality and the importance he placed on his friends, he was called “son” by his friends and “father” by his family members.
Although Whitebeard was once considered one of the strongest men in the world, he was plagued by illness in his later years.
When he met with Shanks, I was impressed by the way he was wearing an IV drip all over his body.
During the Summit War, Marco even expressed concern about his “physical condition,” even though he had removed his intravenous drip.
In this issue, we would like to discuss the disease of Whitebeard.
Let’s start with some basic information.
A man named Whitebeard
As his name suggests, he has a white beard. Two years ago, he was one of the Four Emperors, with a bounty of 5,046 million berries.
So far, only Whitebeard and Pirate King Gold Roger have been stated to have exceeded the 5 billion berry bounty in the works.
In fact, Roger and I had a relationship that went so far as to kill each other, but we also drank with each other on occasion.
Roger arrives at Raftel and asks, “Would you like me to show you how to get to Raftel?” Roger suggested, “Shall I show you how to get to Raftel?
Although he was said to be the man closest to the Greatest Treasure of All, Whitebeard never sat on the throne of the Pirate King, but simply continued to reign in front of the chair.
Unusually for a pirate, he was not interested in treasure or fame; he just wanted a family he could rely on.
Whitebeard’s love for his family ran deep, and he loved Ace, the son of a former rival, as a son just like any other sailor, even though he knew his true identity.
Such was Whitebeard’s character that even the other pirates, and even Sengoku on the Navy side, held him in high esteem.
He was also a member of the Rocks Pirates before forming the Whitebeard Pirates. At this time,

This article also discusses it in depth, so if you are interested, please take a look.
Whitebeard’s Past
This is what Whitebeard Pirates looked like when it was formed.
Whitebeard, who appears in past editions, wears an ordinary pirate hat and has shoulder-length blond hair.
Currently, her hair is gone and she is wearing a bandana.
The loss of this blonde hair is thought to be the result of an illness.
Whitebeard was orphaned from birth and had no one to turn to.
The Rocks Pirates, which he joined, was a group of outlaws who were far from family.
Furthermore, the house where he was born was so poor and rough and lawless that he could not pay the Tenjo money to the Tenryujin.
It is because Whitebeard is such a solitary person that he has become obsessed with the idea of family in a different ideology than other pirates.
Whitebeard’s worsening medical condition
Whitebeard’s health had been deteriorating even before the Summit War, and when he made his first appearance, he was injected with intravenous drips all over his body, suggesting that he was seriously ill.
During the Summit War, he did not wear an IV, which Whitebeard said, “You can’t wear these devices and get hiccups in the enemy’s dojo! Take it all off!” and took them off on his own.
When he removed it, he described the other sailors as being concerned, and he was feeling quite ill.
The only illnesses in the One Piece world were Roger’s incurable disease and Hilruk’s illness, but both were prepared to die from their own illnesses.
On the other hand, what about Whitebeard?
I believe that the disease was originally curable, as Marco worried that his health was “getting worse all the time” during the Summit War.
As the ship’s doctor, Marco’s line infers that he felt some discomfort with Whitebeard’s illness.
Since Whitebeard’s age is 72, it could be age-related decline and associated illness, but his contemporaries Garp is 78 and Sengok is 79.
And while Reilly, the right-hand man of his ally Roger, is 78 years old and may be showing a decline in age in terms of strength from his prime, there are many characters in the One Piece world who are living relatively well past 70 years of age.
That is why it is hard to believe that Whitebeard, at 72 years old, is the only one with an “age-related disease”.
It occurred to me that perhaps there was something other than illness that was the cause of Whitebeard’s poor health.
Reasons for Whitebeard’s poor health
I wondered if there might have been some external factor that caused Whitebeard’s health to deteriorate.
This led to the theory that “Whitebeard had been poisoned.
We thought that it was, in fact, Doflamingo who was poisoning them.
However, there are several reasons for this, and I would like to discuss those reasons as well.
Marks on Whitebeard’s IV
Please take a look at the IV in the scene where Whitebeard is treating the patient.
It is difficult to see because it is written quite small, but the mark looks like an upturned skull.
Do you recognize this symbol somewhere? It is very similar to the symbol of Doflamingo.
Whitebeard’s drip has no left eye line but a grinning mouth that looks exactly like his.
Beautiful Nurse
Take a look at the beautiful nurse who was with Whitebeard.
The nurse, who had advised Whitebeard to cut back on alcohol, has long blonde wavy hair.
And look at the woman who was with Doflamingo.
You can see that a woman of similar appearance to this nurse is standing beside her.
Doflamingo has been trading “smiles” with the pirates of the Hundred Beasts, and it is possible that anything related to Doflamingo wears this pattern.
Doflamingo’s relationship with Whitebeard
Why did Doflamingo send his own men to the Whitebeard pirates in the first place?
Of course, assassinating Whitebeard was the ultimate goal, but why was it necessary to assassinate him?
This is my guess, but I think it is because “Doflamingo was trying to destroy the world order.
The main purpose of Doflamingo’s business was to trade in weapons and other black market transactions.
If you cause a war, you can sell weapons and other arms at such a high price.
However, Whitebeard was an entity that established territories throughout the New World and protected the islands by using the name Whitebeard and hoisting its own pirate flag.
Perhaps Whitebeard was a hindrance to Doflamingo, as the presence of Whitebeard would have reduced disorder.
I think that is why he sent his men as nurses to assassinate Whitebeard.
How the poison was created
Doflamingo was in league with Caesar Crown.
Caesar Crown’s science and technology is quite outstanding, and it should be easy for Caesar Crown to create a poison disguised as a medicine.
And the Doflamingo’s subordinate nurse had that poison in her Whitebeard.
This is the end of this issue.
I was shocked to see Whitebeard with several IV’s since his appearance, but I would be even more surprised if it was actually possible that Doflamingo was behind it.
See you in the next article.
