Stronger

Stronger is the name of the horse that Doc Q rides on. Because Doc Q is seemingly always sick, he rides on Stronger all the time, since the doctor tends to collapse if left unsupported for some time. However, Stronger is just as sick as he is. He is classified as a Type A creature, "Big Friendly".

Appearance
Stronger is a pale blue horse with very long legs. He has a white mane that covers his eyes. His ears also stick up out of the unruly mane and he wears a thin brown bridle.

Personality
Stronger is very loyal to his rider, Doc Q, as he is always seen carrying him, whether during a fight with Ace or after being poisoned by Magellan. He, like his owner, seems to always be sick.

Abilities and Powers
Stronger is a very sick horse, so it is a surprise that it could still have the strength to carry Doc Q around. He also was fast enough to rush into the battlefield with his master on his back when the crew was ordered to kill Whitebeard. But his abilities might not have been fully shown, as Blackbeard made clear that he would never recruit a weakling into his crew and it was shown that Stronger was able to survive an attack from Sengoku; although Stronger may have originally been recruited to be an accommodation due to Doc Q's ailing body.

Jaya Arc
Stronger is simply shown to carry his rider, Doc Q, throughout their appearances in Mock Town, often collapsing while carrying his master. After he and his master leave Mock Town with the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates, they set sail on their raft but is destroyed by the Knock Up Stream which leaves Stronger and Doc Q struggling to stay afloat.

Post-Enies Lobby Arc
Stronger was once again carrying his sick master during the raid on the Blackbeard Pirates' Banaro Island. When Portgas D. Ace attacked them, Stronger and Doc Q fell while running to avoid their captain's retaliation, and was picked up by fellow crew members Augur and Burgess respectively. They all watched from a safe distance as Blackbeard defeated Ace.

Impel Down Arc
During the Blackbeard Pirates' attack on the Great Jail: Impel Down, Stronger is once again carrying the sickly Doc Q. After an exchange of words between Blackbeard and Monkey D. Luffy, Stronger was poisoned along with the rest of the crew by Magellan's Hydra technique. Later, the whole crew is saved by an antidote provided by former Chief Guard Shiliew, who accepts Blackbeard's offer and joins their crew.

Marineford Arc
Stronger and his owner Doc Q are spotted along with the other members of the Blackbeard Pirates on the execution platform where they were watching the events that unfold on the battlefield. Currently he and the others came to Marineford because they wanted to witness Whitebeard's death.

After Whitebeard dies, Stronger and his master assist their fellow crewmates in covering Whitebeard's body in a black cloth and guard Blackbeard as he begins to demonstrate his powers. Stronger, Doc Q and the other Blackbeard Pirates are then attacked by a shock wave created by Sengoku in his Buddha form. When Shanks arrived, Stronger leaves with the rest of the crew.

Post-War Arc
Stronger and the Blackbeard Pirates make their move in the New World and take out Jewelry Bonney and her crew. He is with Doc Q when the doctor talks about heaven's role in fate. Later, when Akainu shows up, Stronger is seen carrying Doc Q as the two flee with the rest of the crew.

During the Timeskip
One year after the war at Marineford, the Blackbeard Pirates fought against the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and ultimately won.

Totto Land Arc
The Blackbeard Pirates later attacked Baltigo, the Revolutionary Army's headquarters. Baltigo was destroyed by the time the Marines and Cipher Pol arrived. However, the fate of the revolutionaries remained unknown.
