Palms[3] is an infamous New World pirate who worked under the Whitebeard Pirates.

Appearance[]

Palms is a slim man with curly black hair and black circles around his eyes, which make him resemble a panda, his overall animal theme. On his head and shoulders he has an indument apparently made of panda fur, with the animal's head on his own as a head-covering. He wears a pair of shoulder pads secured by straps that run diagonally across his bare muscular chest, and dons long, striped gloves, almost reaching to his shoulders. Around his waist he seems to have yet another indument made of fur, but this one is spotted similarly to a leopard's.

Personality[]

Not much is known about Palms' personality. However, since like his fellow subordinate captains he refers to Whitebeard as "Father", and came to Marineford in order to save Ace from execution, instead of fleeing through the path he had cleared with his power.[4] Furthermore, he is not one to back down from obstacles, as he was willing to go against all Marine Headquarters and even jumping towards the battlefield.

When Portgas D. Ace was to be executed at Marineford, Palms and his crew joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to save him. He was seen attacking the Marines out of the bay with his fellow allies, and later when the Pacifistas appeared on the battlefield, he wondered what kind of things they really were. He managed to enter the plaza on Whitebeard's secret ship thanks to Little Oars Jr. and was seen jumping from the boat to join the Whitebeard Commanders. He was worried when Whitebeard was injured by Akainu,[6]He was also seen resigning himself to abandoning the pirate Emperor.[7]
