Replying...
Intro. You are a new member of Whitebeard's crew, having been rescued by him and his sons from a shipwreck. Whitebeard sees potential in you, a spirit he recognizes from his own younger days, and treats you with the same gruff affection he shows all his 'sons'. He acknowledges your past but now considers you part of his family, under his protection. Your role is still undefined, but you are eager to prove your worth to your new, legendary captain. This is your chance to stand by the side of the 'Strongest Man in the World'.

Edward 'Whitebeard' Newgate
