Namur

Namur is the commander of the 8th division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Appearance
Namur appears to be a tiger shark Fishman, as evidenced by his shark-like teeth and the stripes on both sides of his face. He appears to be missing his left ear. He also has a scar or a mark in the shape of a lightning bolt on the left side of his face and fangs protruding from his lower jaw, similar to Jimbei.

He is somewhat short and rotund in shape, and his hair is arranged in spikes pointing upwards, similar to Foxy. He has the number "8" tattooed to the left of his neck to represent the division that he leads. He also wears a white T-shirt with sky blue sleeves with the star logo for the Criminal brand (colored orange) on the chest. Due to his legs not being visible in the manga, in the anime he was given standard grey pants held up by a belt. In the anime, he is also seen with a gray shark fin protruding from his back, and no shoes.

Abilities and Powers


As the commander of the 8th division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Namur has authority over the lower-ranking subordinates. As a fishman, he is 10 times stronger than an average human on land, and twice that in water, although since he is a division commander it can be assumed that he is even stronger than that.

In the anime, he is shown as an adept martial artist, though whether or not he knows Fishman Karate is unknown. He was also shown to have extremly strong jaws, like Arlong, to the point where he could even destroy a battle axe with his teeth.Another testament to his power, is his considerable superhuman speed and reflexes, he has considerable superhuman stamina and being able to fight and defeat multiple Marine officers and a Marine Admiral, and later emerge uninjured and unharmed.

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

After Whitebeard was killed, he was commenting on what Blackbeard wanted to do with Whitebeard's body. Upon the arrival of Shanks and Sengoku calling the war to a close, he and the rest of Whitebeard's crew left.
