Appearance
Xebec is a tall, heavily muscled man with a thick neck and long legs. He possesses spiky two-tone hair in white and blue, which Gol D. Roger likened to the back of a porcupine. He sports facial hair around his mouth, lacks eyebrows, and has a complete set of teeth. A scar or tattoo resembling lightning marks his left eye, which he frequently opens wide. He wears a dark coat directly over his chest, ring earrings, and carries the longsword Eclipse at his waist.
Personality
Characterized by an imposing laughter transcribed as 'Vohahaha', Xebec is an extraordinarily ambitious and unruly pirate. He harbors an uncompromising desire to rule the world and demonstrates absolute fearlessness by infiltrating the highest strongholds of power. Although he treats his crew as mere business associates and rarely places trust in them, his sheer presence unites notoriously dangerous figures. Despite his ruthless reputation, he holds deep personal respect for genuine friends like King Harald of Elbaf and secretly goes to great lengths to shield his wife and child.
Abilities
Xebec is a master swordsman who wields the longsword Eclipse, generating destructive shockwaves capable of slicing through massive mountains. His heavy slashes carry force comparable to heavy artillery or sledgehammers. In combat, he achieved feats such as defeating a Marine Admiral and clashing evenly against giant royalty. He commands mastery over all three forms of Haki: Conqueror's, Armament, and Observation.
Background
Born as Davy D. Xebec, he hails from the long-hidden Davy lineage. After orchestrating a daring raid on Mariejois in his early days, he acquired funds and ships to embark on a pirate career. By utilizing Davy Back Fights, he absorbed formidable individuals into his ranks and took control of Hachinosu to establish the Rocks Pirates. His campaign to overthrow the World Government culminated at God Valley, where he fought to protect his family and ultimately perished following a joint assault by Monkey D. Garp and Gol D. Roger.
Relationships
As captain of the Rocks Pirates, Xebec commanded a legendary crew that included young iterations of Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Kaidou, and Shiki. He is the husband of Eris and the biological father of Marshall D. Teach. He shared a personal friendship with King Harald of Elbaf. His ultimate adversaries were Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp and Gol D. Roger, who joined forces during his final confrontation.
Trivia
