Haruta

Haruta is the commander of the 12th division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Appearance
Haruta is a fairly short woman wearing a green and white 16th century style outfit and carries a saber whose handguard resembles the puffy shoulder straps of her shirt. Haruta has a crop of short brown hair, and blue eyes.

Abilities and Powers
As the commander of the 12th division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Haruta has authority over the lower-ranking subordinates. She is presumably very strong: this statement was bolstered when Jinbei remarked that all of the Whitebeard commanders have great strength.

Weapons
Haruta weilds a decorated saber with a purple hilt. She appears to prefer a fighting style based on agility and speed, rather than strength, as she was seen jumping around when performing her attacks. One demonstration of her level of swordmanship is the fact that she is able to cut through steel.

Marineford Arc
She joined her comrades during the assault on Marineford in order to save Ace, and was one of the commanders who backed up Luffy when he was attacked by Admiral Kizaru. Later she helped in the assault of the Plaza. She was seen crying when Admiral Akainu killed Ace and later appeared along side her fellow Whitebeard division commanders to fight Akainu. This battle was never shown, but she is shown to be unharmed later on. Upon the arrival of Shanks and Sengoku calling the war to a close, she and the rest of Whitebeard's crew left.

Post-War Arc
Haruta, along with the rest of the crew, attended the funeral of Whitebeard and Ace at an undisclosed location somewhere in the Grand Line.
