Pirate King: One Piece : The Three Great Powers; Yonkou

b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>

The Yonkou, literally Four Emperors are the four most powerful pirates in the second half of Grand Line. According to Monkey D. Garp, these "Four Emperors" rule above all others and form a precarious balance with the Shichibukai and Marine Headquarters. The Yonkou are not an actual organization, as each pirate works to further his own ends. The World Government considers the four pirates so powerful, that a potential alliance between Whitebeard and Shanks is enough to send them into a panic.

Whitebeard (Edward Newgate)

Edward Newgate a.k.a Whitebeard a.k.a Shirohige is widely regarded as the world's strongest pirate in the One Piece world. According to Buggy the Clown, he is the pirate closest to obtaining the legendary treasure, One Piece. Whitebeard clashed with the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and was considered his equal in combat.He first appears when Red-Haired Pirate Crew member Rockstar delivers a letter from Shanks. Whitebeard tears up the letter without reading it, which angers Rockstar, but he is told by Shanks not to worry about it, as it's no big deal. When Whitebeard is next seen, Shanks has broken a Navy blockade and boarded his ship. They have a brief conversation regarding Blackbeard and the two pirates then clash, splitting the clouds above them when their swords connect. Newgate regards anyone in his crew as his 'son' and he sees himself as something of a father figure, his crew even refer to him as their 'father'.

"Red Haired" Shanks

Shanks is Monkey D. Luffy's childhood hero and a former member of Gol D. Roger's Crew. Despite having few appearances, he plays a major role in the series. Shanks has three scars across his left eye, inflicted in a battle with Blackbeard. Shanks is missing his left arm, which he lost while saving Luffy from a Sea King. Shanks and his crew are almost always seen partying and drinking alcoholic beverages whenever they make an appearance as the Captain's favourite pastimes are attending and hosting parties and banquets. Shanks' fighting abilities are formidable; he was considered a rival of Mihawk prior to losing his arm, and he regularly clashed with Whitebeard's crew while serving under Gol D. Roger. His monsterous "spiritual intent" is so great that junior members of the Whitebeard crew pass out by merely being in his presence.When he was still an apprentice he and Buggy the Clown worked on the same ship, although they were big rivals and disagreed on everything.
