One Piece: Strongest Subordinate Captains In The Whitebeard Pirates

As a seasoned One Piece fanatic with years of sailing through the Grand Line under my belt, let me tell you about these formidable subordinate captains who sailed alongside the mighty Whitebeard.

In the expansive universe of One Piece, the Whitebeard Pirates stand out as one of the strongest pirate groups ever sailing. Their impressive numbers seem to require a total of 16 division commanders who manage different aspects of the crew. The spirit of family is evident in Whitebeard’s approach, as he welcomed pirates from various origins and backstories into his ranks. This inclusivity extends to their numerous subordinate crews as well. As an orphan himself, Whitebeard found his family not just within his own crew but also through the subordinate crews that served under him.

These teams are frequently hired by Emperors and act on their behalf. During the Summit War at Marineford, numerous underlings showed up, trying to save Ace. Although they are believed to be quite strong, as many, if not all, of them serve as notorious New World Pirates, they are overshadowed by the presence of more prominent characters. Here are the captains of these crews who demonstrated remarkable power in their brief appearances on screen.

5 Squard

Surviving Roger

One Piece: Strongest Subordinate Captains In The Whitebeard Pirates

Debut: Chapter 551 (Manga), Episode 460 (Anime)

Squard is an old-school pirate, dating back to the era of Gol D. Roger, famously known as the Pirate King. While some pirates see Roger as a model or at least someone to rival in terms of accomplishments, Squard’s personal encounters with him left him with a less favorable view of Roger.

In an unforeseen clash with Roger, the captain was observed annihilating each and every member of Squard’s previous crew. While surviving Roger was an extraordinary accomplishment, Squard’s tale didn’t stop there. He subsequently formed a bond with Whitebeard, who provided support for the pirate following this unfortunate event. Squard later regrouped his team to serve under Whitebeard. Whitebeard regarded Squard as a formidable individual, with him being the captain’s first pick to lead the assault aimed at rescuing Ace.

In the heat of One Piece’s game world, I unwittingly fell for Sakazuki’s trickery. He deceived Squard by revealing Ace as Roger’s son and fabricating a tale about Whitebeard intending to sacrifice his crew to save Ace. Blinded by this falsehood, I struck Whitebeard, wounding him in the abdomen. The regret soon set in when I realized I’d been duped, and I begged for Whitebeard’s forgiveness.

4 Decalvan Brothers

Dueling Dalmatian

Debut: Chapter 551 (Manga), Episode 460 (Anime)

The Decalvan Brothers, believed to be twins, make up a duo of pirate captains. In combat, they favor the use of two pairs of clawed gloves. Notably, their leg strength seems extraordinary, as they utilize it for attacking during specific instances. Unusual is that they are seldom seen apart from one another, even in battles.

In the anime, they swiftly put Vice Admiral Dalmatian on the defensive, even though he possesses the Zoan Devil Fruit. Being a Vice Admiral represents one of the highest ranks achievable for marine officers, suggesting exceptional physical power. This rank is surpassed only by Admirals and the current Fleet Admiral, Akainu.

3 Doma

Dueling Momonga

Debut: Chapter 551 (Manga), Episode 460 (Anime)

Among several captains under the command of Whitebeard, Doma stood out as an exceptional swordsman. He had a unique companion, a monkey that displayed an unusual proficiency with a flintlock pistol. On individual merit, Doma’s swordsmanship was demonstrated to be on equal footing with Momonga, a vice admiral capable of slaying a sea king. The monkey’s skill with the flintlock not only added to his abilities but also enabled Doma to continue launching attacks while holding onto his swords.

2 McGuy

Dueling Doberman

Debut: Chapter 551 (Manga), Episode 460 (Anime)

Among the prominent secondary captains at Marineford, “Thunder Sword” McGuy stood out. Somehow, he could imbue his blade with electricity, a technique reminiscent of the Minks’ electro abilities, which added to his nickname’s fittingness. In his battle against Vice Admiral Doberman, he demonstrated combat skills comparable to the vice admiral. Notably, during their fight, McGuy did not receive any external assistance, showcasing his formidable strength and skill.

1 Little Oars Jr.

Taking on Giants

Debut: Chapter 554 (Manga), Episode 463 (Anime)

This ancient colossal figure typically belongs to a species that tends to be larger than their humanoid counterparts on average. He’s believed to be a grandson of the giant, Oars, who Gecko Moria considered as a potential recruit for his predominantly undead crew, the Thriller Bark Pirates. Notably, Little Oars Jr. holds a significant position among the Whitebeard Pirates, making him one of their most prominent subordinate captains.

As a gamer immersed in the One Piece universe, I found myself remarkably bonded with Ace, a pirate who crafted a unique Kasa for me – a hat significant within Wano’s lore. Despite his Devil Fruit powers causing his earlier attempts to go up in flames, he persisted and gifted me this protective headgear. On countless occasions, it shielded me from harsh weather elements, making me truly appreciative of Ace’s kindness. It comes as no shock that I was a significant figure in the rescue mission for my dear friend Ace.

Yet, his imposing stature serves more than just an impressive display. In fact, Little Oars Jr. demonstrated extraordinary strength when he confronted the giant Vice Admiral LaCroix, pushing past other mighty Vice Admirals who attempted to halt him, and even severing a battleship with his massive sword. His encounters with formidable foes such as Bartholomew Kuma, Donquixote Doflamingo, and Gecko Moria are testament to his prowess. Although the battle against Gecko Moria left him unconscious, even in this state, he managed to inflict damage upon a siege wall by collapsing onto it.

In the morning, he skillfully smashes Whitebeard’s vessel by busting through a barrier, providing them with a strategic advantage against their enemies. But shortly after, he gets struck down by cannon fire, leaving his location and status (whether he is alive or not) uncertain for now.
