Whitebeard was a man who saw his crew as family. He was sitting on his chair on the deck one day when one of the crew members reported about a small wooden boat.

Moments later, once they pulled the small boat closer, multiple crew members began to panic.

There was a child. Looked no more than three or four. They seemed messy and their clothes were torn and dirty.

"Hm? Hello little one. What are you doing on that little boat?" He tilted his head.
