Do u think he would be so badass if his name was Whitemustache?

Exactly.

 

[Vandenre1ch]

Why does he have blonde hair and a white mustache?

 

[Hexuze]

Whitebeard is so badass to the point where he can call his mustache a beard. There's your answer. :|

This is a translation thing. I read about it on *********** at one point. Basically shirohige means white facial hair.

He grew a mustache and called it beard, and he was so badass that no one dared to question him.

iirc There's no distinction between the different types of facial hair in the Japanese language.

lmfao imagine his name was Whitefacialhair.

Though Whitehair wouldn't be that bad.

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Japan only has the one word for facial hair, rather than a seperate word for Beards and Moustaches. Hence why Whitebeard is called that with no beard.

 

[Fireplay]

As some have stated, the Japanese language doesn't have a word for beard. Shirohige= White facial hair. Hige means both beard and moustache.

Imagine if he actually had a "White Beard"
He'd be one OP Santa Claus :sdo2:
