Appearance

Brew gives off a distinctly bull-like impression that matches his crew's jolly roger. His black hair flows long and is styled into a pair of arrow-shaped horns, with a third arrow pointing down over his forehead, while his lengthy black beard splits into five strands along a square jaw. His clothing includes a light-blue bandanna, a collared shirt with a draped cloth, a sash worn over trousers, and a dark-blue captain's coat fitted with epaulets. Early concept art gave him a black nose that the manga later dropped.

Personality

Bold and unafraid, Brew was ready to gamble his life by raising arms against Marine Headquarters. He puts a high price on loyalty and companionship, which is why he stood firm beside Whitebeard against an overwhelming enemy in the effort to save Ace.

History

Over the years Brew built a fearsome name for himself in the New World and signed on under Whitebeard as a subordinate captain. When the Marines prepared to execute Ace at Marineford, he and his crew sailed in among the 43 allied captains, materializing off the coast and catching the defenders off guard. As the Marines abruptly moved the execution forward, Brew stood stunned alongside Wallem and Baggaley. He swung a sword against a Marine while Cands readied an attack behind him, and later his ship tried to scoop up Jinbe as he fled with Luffy, only for Aokiji to freeze the sea and block the escape. After the deaths of Whitebeard and Ace, the arrival of the Red Hair Pirates let Sengoku call the war to a close and permit the survivors to withdraw. A nearly identical figure in the source material long caused confusion over Brew's true design, settled only by the canon Vivre Card.
