Questions & Mysteries Who called Whitebeard by his true name ?

[Buusatan94]

Among the characters that knew Edward Newgate aka Whitebeard who do you think may have called him by his actual name instead of his far more famous nickname ?

 

[Paperchampion23]

If anything, probably the Rocks pirates. His crew called him "Oyaji", Rayleigh and Roger called him WB as everyone else. The "fond" memory he had before he died, people called him Newgate, so my guess before he was WB, he was Newgate to most people, aka, Rocks pirates.

Either Xebec or his fellow orphans who used to live with him.

We haven’t seen it in the canon, but if Bakkin truly gave birth to his love child, I bet she referred to him as Newgate as well

 

[KiriNigiri]

There were these guys who we can presume to be fellow Rocks crew members that called him by his given name. Probably when he was a newbie until he started climbing the ranks and gained his epithet.

 

[Sir WanKing]

luffy would be cool to call him that LOL

 

[Xione]

Roger/Garp/Sengoku/Shiki/etc etc basically those who were near his status or power and grew in parallel to him. They probably just switched between Whitebeard & Newgate, like Roger.

 

[Finalbeta]

I bet on the Rocks Pirates

He was in confidence with them

Roger and his former nakama before WBP
