History
Some time prior to the current storyline, Andre became a known pirate in the New World, and allied himself with Whitebeard.

Marineford Arc
When Portgas D. Ace was to be executed at Marineford, Andre and his crew joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to save him. After Portgas D. Ace told Monkey D. Luffy to go back home, he was seen fighting Marines to advance in the plaza. When Ace was freed, he rejoiced with the others. After Ace died and Whitebeard gave his last order, he told pirates to hurry up and to leave the battlefield. He was seen confronting Admiral Akainu with Crocodile and some of the Whitebeard Commanders. His last appearance his with some other captain after Shanks arrived at Marineford, concerned with Luffy's safety on board of the Heart Pirates' submarine when Kizaru shot at it.
