Izou

Izo is the commander of the 16th division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Appearance
Izo is a trans woman who wears a pink and purple kimono. She has a pale complexion and hair tied in a way resembling that of a geisha. She also carries another Japanese-looking, light-red spotted indument tied around his waist.

When she was a child, she was seen dressing as a geisha, wearing a kimono with a diagonal spot design. She had the top of her head shaven, with her bangs parted and the back tied up and pinned. She was also seen holding Japanese fans and dancing.

Personality
Izo is very loyal to the Whitebeard Pirates and Whitebeard, as she was willing to risk her own life in order to save Ace from execution during the Battle of Marineford.

Abilities and Powers
As the commander of the 16th division, Izo has authority over the lower-ranking subordinates. Like the other commanders, she is very powerful.

Weapons
She is seen wielding a pair of flintlock pistols and is apparently very adept with them, especially in close quarters combat: with a single shot, she was able to break a sword in half as well as injure its owner by shooting it just moments before it slashed her.

By the end of the war, she was also seen carrying a sheathed sword, which may indicate that she is a swordsman as well.

Past
Not much is known about Izo's past, except that she was born in Wano Country.

Marineford Arc


When it was revealed that Portgas D. Ace was going to be publicly executed in Marineford, Izo joined the rest of Whitebeard's fleet and their subordinate crews to rescue Ace. Arriving at the Marines headquarters, they fought to save their captured comrade alongside some late additions to the war. She was the one to talk to Monkey D. Luffy, asking her if she was tired, when she and several other division commanders were charging Kizaru. She stated that it was the right time to move on since the Marines were pulling back. After Whitebeard was stabbed by Squard, Izo is seen with the rest of the commanders looking on in shock and terror. After Squard realized that he had been tricked, the Marines raised the siege walls keeping the pirates from entering the plaza. Izo and the other pirates managed to board Whitebeard's hidden paddle ship. Little Oars Jr. helped the pirates by pushing their ship through the hole that the giant created.

Later on, he fought alongside his subordinates against the Marines gathered in the plaza. After Luffy freed Ace from the scaffold, the pirates rejoiced. Whitebeard then gave his final order and the pirates reluctantly followed. Just when the pirates were about to leave with Ace, Admiral Akainu called Whitebeard a failure. Ace quickly turned back and Izo tried persuading Ace to forget about Akainu but was unsuccessful. Akainu took Ace's life and then aimed to kill Luffy. Izo and the other division commanders fought against the admiral to ensure that Luffy sees the New Era. Upon the arrival of Shanks and Sengoku calling the war to a close, Izo, like the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates and their subordinates, mourned for the outcome of the war and left the battlefield.

Post-War Arc
Izo and the rest of the crew attended the funeral of Whitebeard and Ace at an undisclosed location somewhere in the New World.

During the Timeskip
One year after the war at Marineford, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates fought against the Blackbeard Pirates but ultimately lost. They went into hiding and have not been seen since their defeat.
