Palms

Palms is an infamous New World pirate who allied himself with Whitebeard.

Appearance
Palms is a slim man with curly black hair and black circles around his eyes, which make him resemble a panda, his overall animal theme. On his head and shoulders he has an indument apparently made of panda fur, with the animal's head on his own as a head-covering. He wears a pair of shoulder pads secured by straps that run diagonally across his bare muscular chest, and dons long, striped gloves, almost reaching to his shoulders. Around his waist he seems to have yet another indument made of fur, but this one is spotted similarly to a leopard's.

Personality
Not much is known about Palms' personality. However, since like his allies he refers to Whitebeard as "Father", and came to Marineford in order to save Ace, it might be assumed that he has a strong bond with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Abilities and Powers


Palms is a fearsome pirate who has managed to make an infamous reputation in the New World, and to make an alliance with Whitebeard.

Weapons
Palms carries around a long, curved sword whose hilt looks exactly like three bamboo shoots, a design which also appears on his ship. It might be assumed that he is proficient in its use.

Past
Some time prior to the current storyline, Palms became an infamous pirate in the New World, and allied himself with Whitebeard.

Marineford Arc


When Portgas D. Ace was to be executed at Marineford, Palms and his crew joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to save him. He was seen attacking the Marines out of the bay with his fellow allies, and later when the Pacifistas appeared on the battlefield, he wondered what kind of things they really were. He managed to enter the plaza on Whitebeard's secret ship thanks to Little Oars Jr. and was seen jumping from the boat to join the Whitebeard Commanders.
