Whitebeard was given the title of the "strongest man in the world" for his unmatched physical strength, and was the only man in the world who could match the late [[Pirate King]], [[Gol D. Roger]], in a fight (the only one to come close was [[Marine]] [[Vice Admiral]] [[Monkey D. Garp]], said to have cornered Gol D. Roger numerous times).

Edward Newgate was the captain of the "[[Whitebeard Pirates]]", directly controlling an enormous [[pirate]] fleet of 1,600 pirates, divided into 16 divisions, each one being led by an incredibly powerful division commander. A testament to his power is the fact that the [[Shichibukai]] and [[World Government]] used virtually all their power to prepare to fight him.

His control over [[Busoshoku Haki]] was such that he could, in most cases, negate the intangibility of Logia-based Devil Fruits. In the past, he was able to defeat Crocodile - even though it's unknown if the former [[Shichibukai]] had already eaten his Devil Fruit - and to beat Ace more than one hundred times. The split in the heavens provoked by his clash with Shanks during the meeting of the Whitebeard Pirates and the [[Red Hair Pirates]] was the result of the amazing Busoshoku Haki imbued in their weapons. At the former Marine Headquarters, Whitebeard successfully landed blows on [[Sakazuki|Akainu]] where [[Marco]] and [[Vista]] failed to do so with their own Busoshoku Haki. <!--Note: Aokiji managed to survive an attack by turning into ice before it connected,{{qref|name=Haki|volume=58|chapter=567|episode=476|text=Whitebeard attempts to finish off Aokiji by stabbing him with his Haki imbued bisento.}} and Kizaru was only interrupted in his attack because he had already turned his body into light -->

[[Shanks]] finally arrived to talk with Whitebeard about [[Portgas D. Ace|Ace]] and [[Marshall D. Teach|Blackbeard]] after barging his way through a [[Marine]] blockade that had been set up to prevent them from meeting. Whitebeard talks about Gol D. Roger and seeing Shanks as a cabin boy during their fights along with the funny big nose (Buggy) that Shanks hung around. Whitebeard notes how the duels between Shanks and Mihawk still ring in his ear. When the subject of his missing left arm is brought up, Shanks replies he bet it on the new age recalling the memory of Luffy.{{qref|chapter=434|episode=316|page=5-11|text=Shanks meets with Whitebeard and discuss about Ace and Blackbeard.}}

[[Shanks]] demanded that Whitebeard pull [[Portgas D. Ace|Ace]] back, believing that he wasn't ready for [[Marshall D. Teach|Blackbeard]]. [[Edward Newgate|Whitebeard]] ignored the request and the discussion between the two broke down into a fight which leaves the crews of both [[captain|captain's]] uneasy, and splits the clouds above them. [[Edward Newgate|Whitebeard's]] 3rd Division Commander [[Jozu]] mentioned that some kind of deal must have been broken, as he indicates that "the sky... no, the very heavens have split".{{qref|chapter=434|episode=316|page=13-17|text=Shanks clashes with Whitebeard after the latter refused to Shanks' plea of returning Ace to him.}}
