Peachbeard

Peachbeard

Peachbeard is the epithet of the captain of the Peachbeard Pirates, who are subordinates of the Emperor Blackbeard.

Appearance

Peachbeard appears to be a slim man of roughly average height. His face is somewhat narrow, and his jaw is very long, ending in a pronounced chin. He has long flowing hair that reaches down to his chest in waves. As his given name implies, Peachbeard also sports a long handlebar pink mustache which curls upwards at the ends and a long goatee with a slight downward curl. He has some wrinkles around his eyes and mouth and a stitched scar running from his left eye to his left cheekbone.

His attire is reminiscent of that of a classic pirate: with a handkerchief and feather hat, a dark jacket hanging from his shoulders, and a simple shirt and trousers. In its belt, it takes writing: “Momo”, that alludes to its nickname in Japanese: “Momohige”.

Personality

Oh my!! You have such a terrible king!!! …But more importantly, there’s Celestial Gold in this town?
— Peachbeard to Moda

Peachbeard is a very sadistic and violent man who has no problem with attacking and pillaging innocent villages, and while attacking the Lulusia Kingdom, he told his crew to kill any citizen who resisted. He sometimes feigns an understanding attitude, as he recognized that it was the fault of the Lulusia Kingdom royalty and the Marines that Lulusia Kingdom was left unprotected, but his only real care is for treasure, as he hit a woman after finding out what treasure the Lulusia Kingdom held.

Peachbeard is also very expressive and quick to shock and anger, as he vocally expressed his bewilderment at the presence of four Revolutionary Army commanders on Lulusia Kingdom as well as their personalities and abilities. He is also prone to mockery, as he laughed profusely when the townspeople picked up sticks to fight his crew.

Like many other people, he has a distinct laugh: “Momohahaha”.

Relationships

Crew

Peachbeard’s crew holds little allegiance to Peachbeard, as they abandoned him when they fled Lulusia Kingdom.

Blackbeard Pirates

I received my name Peachbeard from my master, Blackbeard!! Remember it! And fear Blackbeard!
— Peachbeard’s loyalty to the Blackbeard Pirates

Peachbeard was allegiant to the Blackbeard Pirates, as he touted their name to instill fear in the people he attacks. However, the Blackbeard Pirates do not appear to care about their subordinate crews, as one of the Revolutionary Army executives said that Peachbeard will not likely be rescued or avenged.

Abilities and Powers

As captain of the Peachbeard Pirates, Peachbeard holds full control over the crew. However, he lacks their loyalty, as they swiftly abandoned him upon his defeat and capture.

He is not very strong, as although he was able to force Moda a fair distance back by slapping her, she quickly retaliated and knocked him out by hitting his head with a stick after being strengthened by the Kobu Kobu no Mi.

Weapons

Peachbeard wields a cutlass, and has a pistol stashed in his belt, although he has not been seen using either of them.

In the anime, he shows enough skill with his sword to defeat a few Marine soldiers with a single strike.

History

Past

In the past year, after Blackbeard became a Emperor, Peachbeard and his crew started sailing under his flag and Peachbeard was bestowed his name.

Whole Cake Island Saga

Levely Arc

After the Lulusia Kingdom’s strongest forces left with their royalty to the Levely, the Peachbeard Pirates attacked the port town for treasure. After Moda revealed that there was Celestial’s gold in the town, he told the crew to search the town for it. However, Peachbeard was shocked as the Revolutionary Army executive Morley came in through the ground, and ordered his crew to shoot the giant. Morley then formed a clump out of the ground and pushed it into Peachbeard and his men, and Peachbeard said he must be a Devil Fruit user. He then saw the three other Revolutionary executives Lindbergh, Karasu, and Belo Betty, and wondered in shock why all of them were on the island together.

Betty encouraged the townspeople to pick up sticks, and Peachbeard laughed at the prospect of them fighting him. However, the townspeople overwhelmed his crew with the revolutionaries’ help, and with her strength increased through Betty’s Kobu Kobu no Mi, Moda subdued Peachbeard with one blow. Peachbeard was then tied up and the revolutionaries left him for the townspeople to turn in for his bounty. Peachbeard threatened retribution from Blackbeard, but Betty replied that Blackbeard does not care about his subordinate crews.
