Thirty years ago, Whitey Bay was still an immediate member of the Whitebeard Pirates when they arrived for the first time at Wano Country. Additionally, her ship broke through a section of Marineford's wall. This made her ship the only one of the entire Whitebeard Pirates capable of continuing onward, while the rest were trapped by the ice. Its main purpose is to break through ice-covered waters, including the sea of ice created by Admiral Aokiji. There are masts and sails, with the front sail having the crew's Jolly Roger painted on it.īecause of the ship's steel-plated hull, it boasts higher offensive and defensive capabilities.

Whitey's icebreaker has a steel-plated hull instead of a wooden hull seen on most other ships in the series so far. Whitey Bay's pirate ship is an icebreaker ( 砕氷船, saihyōsen ?). Whitey Bay's icebreaker shattering Aokiji's ice. In the anime, she is seen wielding a sword. She is an experienced veteran, having started as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates during their early years before becoming a captain of her own pirate crew. Whitey Bay is a pirate who has managed to make herself an infamous reputation in the New World and to become a subordinate of the Whitebeard Pirates. She took pride in the talent of her ship stating that it can go where it is needed.ĭuring her years with the Whitebeard pirates, she was reluctant to volunteer Marco due to him being a beginner. She also seems very loyal to Whitebeard, as she answered his call to arms to save Ace.

And I cannot fucking wait.Whitey Bay has long, flowing blue hair, full lips and always has a confident expression on her face. I believe that is the evolution of where shounen could be going. I lost my goddamn mind when I watched that scene: what they were talking about was so downright relatable as a specifically a female-identifying individual, I forgot I was watching a shounen. We’re talking about a series where two female characters fight each other while debating how to grapple with being a woman in a male-dominated field. Try to imagine a shounen like Jujutsu Kaisen occurring even just ten years ago. Even one of my favorite series, Mob Psycho 100, has a notable lack o’ ladies. I’m looking straight at you, Demon Slayer-keeping your female protagonist in a goddamn box most of the time. But you can stick a finger to the winds of shounen and see One Piece as an interesting middle point in how women’s roles in shounen have progressed since 1997.

The biggest counter-example is Lisa Lisa from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, a total badass who was created partially as a comment on the lack of female characters in shounen who are capable for fighting for themselves. And a lot of the time, these token ladies were desire-able girlfriend types who didn’t do much fighting, if any. In the 90s and beforehand, most shounen would have a “token female,” if they prominently featured one at all. He likes to draw strong and capable women, citing Nami as an example /UYzeH099w5- Artur – Library of Ohara July 23, 2022 Oda mentions he felt old Jump manga didn't feature enough female characters or strong female characters, so he always tried to include female characters in his stories.
