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.

History
Some time prior to the current storyline, Namur 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.

He was one of the first Commanders to appear, and along some of them backed Luffy up when the latter was attacked by Admiral Kizaru. He joined his comrades in the assault of the Plaza. 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.

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