Brownbeard is a pirate in the world of One Piece. After Whitebeard's death he went off and took control of Foodvalten, one of the New World islands formerly under his protection.

Appearance
Brownbeard is a very large, overweight man, who appears to be roughly twice the height and four times the width of a normal human. He possesses a long brown beard with three distinctly kept braids, and a mustache. He wears a large coat over an open shirt that seems to only reach to his shoulders, leaving his chest bare, and something that appears to be a large wrestling belt with his jolly roger on it, and a tricorn over his hair, which comes out of the hat's top, and is braided back.

Personality
From his short appearance, he seems to be rather arrogant, claiming an island as under his protection, and addressing himself "Brownbeard-sama", the "-sama" being an honorific of something like "lord" or "master". He also seems to be against Whitebeard, attacking an island that was once under his protection upon the great pirate's demise. He also proudly showed off his bounty in an attempt to intimidate his opponents, despite it being lower than the New World average of 100,000,000, as well as worth not even one-third of the said opponent's bounty.

Post-War Arc
He is first seen with his crew, terrorizing Foodvalten, an island formerly protected by Whitebeard. He has one of his men slash apart Whitebeard's flag when the islanders try to point it out to him as a warning, and declares that the island is now under "his protection".

However, not too long after making his claim, Brownbeard ends up encountering the Hawkins Pirates. Basil Hawkins casually angers Brownbeard by asking what his name is. Brownbeard then starts mumbling about his bounty and glory. Hawkins proceeds to say that Brownbeard's name is ridiculous and then, as Hawkins draws his sword and prepares to fight, states that "the shadow of death draws near him".

Trivia

 * Just like Big Mom, it is unknown if "Brownbeard" is a real name or an epithet. However, he seems to only use "Brownbeard" to refer to himself, rather then giving his name and then his epithet.
 * His braided beard is reminiscent of that of the real life pirate Edward Teach.
 * Like many other One Piece characters, Brownbeard has his own unique laugh, which is "Uoh hoh hoh."
