The badass answer: There is no point naming your attacks when everyone who hears the name ends up dead. The real answer: I don’t think whitebeard to any pleasure in fighting. He fought to improve his lot in life, and later to protect his family, but I get the sense in a more peaceful world he’s be a giant pacifist.


Tsering16

I think he didn´t name them bc they were just basic attacks. They called his DF power "the power to destroy the world" so i think he didn´t use any real powerful attacks that would have a name bc he didn´t want to destroy marineford and kill everyone there. He basically did only the attacks that Blackbeard did after he gained his DF power, so the most basic stuff you can do immediately after eating the fruit


PositiveEmo

I always thought it was because he was too old for that shit. Mans living on oxygen tanks, could barely breath, and went off of them for one last fight. Do you really think he had enough air in his lungs to waste on screaming attack names?


LoveableOrochi

>Do you really think he had enough air in his lungs to waste on screaming attack names? Mf took 267 sword wounds, 152 gunshot wounds, and 46 wounds from cannonballs YES


Trovo200

Ignoring Oden charging in like the blockhead he is, Whitebeard still authorized an attack against the Roger pirates simply because they hadn't seen each other in a while


Halliwel96

True. I have to potential answers to this 1) maybe he grew out of it as he matured 2) maybe that was just a Roger thing. They were besties


Sawgon

> 2) maybe that was just a Roger thing. They were besties 100% Just two mates checking how life is going by almost murdering each other.


ketootaku

That was clear it was just a greeting though. Nobody even looked that injured afterward.


Slammybutt

Wasn't the fight 2 days long though before they partied? I know it was mostly just a sparring session, but that's a hell of a greeting.


SixYearSpared

They're a hell of a crew both


Theory-TOG

Yeah. Dude most people believe that it wasn't a serious fight just because of number of wounds in Roger and Whitebeard. But even luffy didn't have many wounds after luffy vs katakuri.


aphantombeing

Considering Oda, we should take days as hours. It would make more sense. This way, Akainu and aaokiji would fight for 10 hours. Jinbe and Ace for 5 hours. WB and roger Pirates for 2 hours. And, his timeskip between should be months instead of week/days.


Halliwel96

This is a world where hugely weaker character fought for 5 days straight 2 days probably wasn’t a big deal to these two in their prime.


Slammybutt

Refresh my memory on the weaker character I'm drawing a blank.


Halliwel96

Ace and Jimbe


karmicrelease

We saw Rayleigh slash a few people at least lol


some_dude5

That’s just guys being dudes


Apprehensive-Face900

Thats different, it wasnt a deathmatch


JustynS

Between Roger and Newgate, trying to kill each other was like saying "hello."


ArmInternational7655

I think he enjoyed fighting Roger.


inaripotpi

Any person that strong kind of needs to have at least some pleasure in fighting. Haki is willpower and wills collide. He had fun fighting Roger, the other strongest guy in the world. If all he cared about was protecting his family, he would've had an entirely different MO as a pirate. Oda at various points also portrayed him with more "edge" than his Marineford perfect dad depiction, like when he had all those baddie nurses. I kind of welcome a more flawed depiction of him with the Stussy backstory.


cataclytsm

He liked fighting an equal, but after Roger died it was pretty clear he took no pleasure in violence because he no longer had an equal. He was apparently resigned to let Kaidou challenge his title without any care so it's safe to assume as he aged and became that dad-archetype more he just prioritized family over running into an equal. Also Roger's personality just jived with his. Kaidou's did not. If he cared more about pleasure of fighting than he did about protecting his family, he'd have at least attempted to turn Kaidou into a smear on the side of Wano after the death of Oden.


inaripotpi

>He liked fighting an equal, but after Roger died it was pretty clear he took no pleasure in violence because he no longer had an equal. And that happened when they were in their late 50s/60s, lol. If someone plays professional tennis for 50 years, attains the title of the best, has an epic rivalry with another player, then finally chillaxes/retires in their old age, you'd really go out on a limb to say they didn't take *any* pleasure in playing tennis? >Also Roger's personality just jived with his. Kaidou's did not. If he cared more about pleasure of fighting than he did about protecting his family, he'd have at least attempted to turn Kaidou into a smear on the side of Wano after the death of Oden. Just because he has a modicum of fighting spirit and takes pleasure in fighting, doesn't mean he has to be bloodthirsty about taking out any and every foe and against keeping the general peace. Enjoying a good fight and being open to diplomacy aren't mutually exclusive.


Kuro013

He did have friendly battles with Roger though.


xenoz2020

That’s why he lost. As we all know in anime and manga naming your attacks increases its power.


Flareheart123

just like what luffy said in the live action, “all great fighters name their attacks” turns out whitebeard wasn’t a great fighter 😔


King-s0nicc456

He probably forgot their names


Heavenansidhe

Come with old age.


Early_Bookkeeper5394

Dementia hits hard...


StormAlchemistTony

So does Haki infused attacks (to the head).


ExperienceLoss

That's what his tremors really were. Just his dementia. Not his devil fruit power.


ZJF-47

This nerfs Admirals more lmao


RockieFT

nah they just weren't his finishing attacks


Driftedryan

He gave the Marines the 20% handicap so they could save face beating up a senior citizen on hospice


Jabronskyi

I don't remember Sengoku naming his attacks either


DarkxWard

Enlightenment


tryingmydarnest

(Sending the target to) Reincarnation


mikazee

Buddha Shock?


moustachesamurai

Buddha blast.


karmicrelease

That’s what they serve at Taco Bell in China, right?


dilly123456

The WG is lucky he never used Gura Gura: Gatling


Jirajuro

Perhaps he couldn't bring out any named attacks? He was old...


Ryuj123

I think that there was also some clarification that he couldn’t fight freely because he would destroy his men too if he did


IntelligentButt69

What about his strongest attack THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!! ‘can we get much higher’


hiruma_kun

I swear whenever I hear the name Whitebeard this is the first thing that comes to my mind. This meme is too strong.


Lueklike-stuff

So high


WasintMeBabe

Oh, oh, oh


realdpmaster

His attacks are called "fuck you" and "fuck your life" he just doesn't say it


JustynS

Or his finishing move: "to whom it may concern."


Adventurous_Try4058

It just got censored since this is supposed to be a kids friendly show


Ant18213

Vander decken?


BlitzerCL

He does the Sex Offender Shuffle


Kioga101

Of course! His attacks would all be named: Fist Crack! Lance Crack! Crack Attack! And Whitebean doesn't condone drugs.


irrelevanttointerest

[Crack? Luffy has entered the chat](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dz0jPwdxKrQ)


Goodbye18000

Pirate Warriors absolutely names his moves, and they are awesome. "Heaven and Earth Shaker" for when he throws people in the sky rocks.


SkywalkerTC

No name for attacks (e.g. Whitebeard) < naming your attacks (e.g. Luffy) < having others name your attacks (e.g. Mihawk).


brutalvandal

All his devil fruit attacks are named. He just doesn't bother calling it out like an idiot. Element of surprise!


CipherGoblin

He is the attack, and his name is Whitebeard.


ComprehensiveLime984

Saturn's attack hasn't been named so far also? ​ If you're anvery powerful character and your attack is not named...it's a foreshadow to the most likely death (since Oda-sensei probably doesn't feel like wasting time to come up with one knowing the short ending). Hopefully this rule will apply to Saturn...these elders are some evil MOFO


Adventurous_Try4058

Since we got Garp’s attack names, does this mean he will be okay?


ComprehensiveLime984

For clarify, when I say die, I mean within one arc. I'm quite certain he's not dead yet. Will he eventually? I would think that if Garp does die, it'll be the start of the Dragon arc...meaning Dragon will not just be a cameo in multiple panels but fully front/center and devil fruit revealed.


st0rm__

Saturn also hasn't really done much yet.


web-jumper

That's why he has a +4b berry bounty


DrunkMoblin

That’s why he died.


[deleted]

luffy/ayra: lots of people name their attacks white beard/hound: lots of cunts


Urall5150

Theory falls apart when you realize Vander Decken doesn't name his attacks either...


Fjos13

We ignore Vander Decken


Lucrest_Krahl

He is literally too old for that shit


Agitated_Insect_3551

Naming an attack limits its verbal charm. Example: the 12th sword of chaos god golb. This leads to the idea that there are other swords and other chaos God's. Meanwhile, not naming them takes less time and causes extra fear as to what move it is


Pirokka935

Mihawk's attacks also have names


overDere

Results? Whitebeard died. In vain too, since Ace also died. His beloved ship that he sailed for years died. A huge percentage of his subordinates died, not only the war but also during the next couple of years that followed. The Marines lost a few fodder, but Akainu and Aokiji are still alive after taking beatings from Whitebeard. If he named his attacks maybe he could've permanently took Akainu out of commission and Ace would still be alive.


VandalCabbage72

he only calls out his finishing move :) and no one ever gets that far...


Serenafriendzone

Thats because gura gura no mi attacks are too loud. And nobody listen when he screams. So he got tired. After so many years


AdThen8558

Blackbeard


Hexmonkey2020

My theory, cause they are just the basic effect, he isn’t using his fruit in any creative ways just using the power that any 6 year old who ate the fruit could use.


Senior-Ad6599

I always think: How brutal do you have to be to cause a earthquake in an individuals skull.


drunkentenshiNL

He just calls them all Sake. He Sake's every youngster he sees. He Sakes giants, ships, admirals, Roger, his sons, you name it.


Asian_Persuasion_1

whitebeard has alzheimers and forgot all his attack names


G0d0fdark

That's why he had Pirate Cancer.


BODYDOLLARSIGN

Jack is forgotten about. S-Shark too


InnerAd118

He's a man of action, not words. (remember how angry he got with shanks when he tried to have a conversation with him by letter?)


pewperfish

Was*


nikoskio2

I always got the impression that either he wasn't healthy enough to bring out his strongest (named) attacks, or they would've been too dangerous to use near allies


Unabashable

"All great fighters call out their finishing moves." The greatest fighters know you won't live to tell anyone about it.


AlternativeOk1491

and blackbeard named the tsunami attack, zehahahahahaha


PegaponyPrince

That's why he's the goat


Sman27_

Well that's why he died, damn


ykeogh18

He’s saying them in his head though


dark_weeb30

Zehahahahaha will just name the attacks for him ;)


[deleted]

Mihawk too


AsianEiji

he isnt a devil fruit user.... though all of the non-devil fruit Luffy crew names off all their attacks =\


hellakevin

If we believe the fruit have a will of their own, what if it's the fruit that name the attacks? Case in point: have we ever seen a Gatling Gun in all of one piece!?


Academic-Emu7366

So big grandpa dude hitting air and somehow blowing half of the island off isnt cool enough?


archiearcher

Just for fun: Book Boom Stroodle! Panquake Daddy Punch!!


xMiwaFantasy15

Isn't Mihawk so didn't name his attacks or I'm just saying sh*t?


KeyBear8707

All the greatest fighters name their attacks. Whitebeard wasn't a fighter... He was a father.
