Palms

Palms is an infamous New World pirate who worked under the Whitebeard Pirates.

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 fellow subordinate captains he refers to Whitebeard as "Father", and came to Marineford in order to save Ace from execution, instead of fleeing through the path he had cleared with his power. Furthermore, he is not one to back down from obstacles, as he was willing to go against all Marine Headquarters and even jumping towards the battlefield.

Abilities and Powers
Palms is a fearsome pirate who has managed to make an infamous reputation in the New World, eventually becoming a subordinate of the Whitebeard Pirates.

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, becoming a subordinate of Whitebeard.

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. He was worried when Whitebeard was injured by Akainu,He was also seen resigning himself to abandoning the pirate Emperor.
