"Thunder Lord" McGuy is an infamous New World pirate who worked for Whitebeard.

Appearance

McGuy has a long face with a big nose and prominent chin, wavy blonde hair reaching to his waist, and a black mustache shaped like a lightning bolt. He sports a blue shirt with loose sleeves and ruffled edges under a black vest. Due to his legs not being visible enough in the manga, in the anime he was given dark bermuda shorts and an orange sash decorated by a silver colored ornament with a red jewel in it.

Personality

Though little can be said regarding McGuy's personality in the manga, he is shown having huge respect towards Whitebeard. In the anime, he was shown to be perceptive enough to see through Sengoku's tactic to lure the pirates in for the Pacifista to attack. McGuy is also shown to have a sense of honor, stating to Doberman it was a privilege to fight him.

Abilities and Powers

McGuy has managed to make himself an infamous reputation in the New World, becoming a subordinate of Whitebeard. Also, he was very observant, as he managed to understand why Whitebeard ordered his subordinates to split up in order to avoid being trapped by the Pacifista. He also avoided injuries from the war.

Weapons

McGuy is a swordsman, although his exact level of ability remains unknown, however it is presumed quite high. He was somehow able to channel electricity through his blade, increasing the damage done. Whether this ability stems from a Devil Fruit, a Dial, Electro or another method is currently unknown. In the anime, his skill as a swordsman was enough for him to fight on equal grounds against Vice Admiral Doberman to stall him.

History

Summit War Saga

Marineford Arc

McGuy and his crew are first seen, along with a fleet of 42 other infamous pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates, attacking Marineford to save Portgas D. Ace from his execution. When Squard stabbed Whitebeard due to being deceived by Admiral Akainu, McGuy was shocked. He is later seen among the group of New World captains backing up Luffy and Ivankov on Whitebeard's orders.

When the Blackbeard Pirates launched a barrage of bullets and blades at Whitebeard and killing in the process, McGuy was seen crying. He is seen behind fellow New World ally Doma, showing shock at seeing the Yonko, Shanks appear on the battlefield.

Upon Shanks calling for a ceasefire and the war coming to a close, McGuy and the other pirates 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 New World.
