Whitebeard Techniques
Whitebeard has so far demonstrated three separate, distinct skills with his Devil Fruit. He was also able to imbue the direct contact techniques with Busoshoku Haki] to attack Logia] users at close range. Blackbeard was also capable of using all of them and also in conjunction with his Yami Yami no Mi] powers, but he still lacks the mastery of the fruit his old captain had.


 * The first skill is a punch that literally cracks the air itself and sends devastating shock waves through the air in the direction it is facing. These shock waves are able to pass through and damage almost any substance, literally tearing it apart. If the shock waves are directed into the ground, the result is a devastating earthquake capable of generating huge tsunamis. This is called Kaishin (海震) in the game One Piece: One Piece: Gigant Battle. Because of its enormous offensive power and great quick speed, this attack makes for a very good defense, able to destroy or disrupt any attack before it hits Whitebeard. He first used it this way to defend against Aokiji's ice-spears.
 * This technique can also be used for close range strike, causing severe damage, as John Giant and Akainu both suffered. This is called Gekishin (激震) in the game One Piece: One Piece: Gigant Battle. The siege walls in Marineford are made of a special material that is able to resist damage and diffuse the power of this attack. The three Marine Admirals were also capable of blocking this attack from reaching the execution platform. Whitebeard was also able to passively summon vibrations around himself, which protected him from being frozen by Aokiji as vibrations cannot be frozen. In the anime it was also used to deflect cannon balls back to their source.


 * The second skill allows him to focus his great power to a single point, otherwise known as a hypocenter (given the appearance of a bubble of sorts), to make a concentrated, explosion-like attack. So far, he has been shown capable of using this attack through both his fist and the blade of his bisento. He first used this technique to defeat the giant] Vice-Admiral Ronse with a single blow. This is called Kabutowari (兜割). In the anime, he also demonstrated the ability to stretch out a quake bubble to form a protective barrier capable of blocking bazooka fire. Also in the anime, Whitebeard has shown he can create such bubble on his foot, making a devastating stomp.
 * He can also surround his bisento with the same bubble to greatly increase its striking power and range. This is called Naginata Rasetsu (薙刀羅刹) in the game One Piece: Gigant Battle.


 * The third skill lets him "grab" an entire area, by grabbing the air around him as if it were tangible, and rapidly shift it. Using this, he was capable of tilting the entire island of Marineford and the sea around it. This technique was capable of destroying buildings and throwing a giant off of his feet. This is called Shima Yurashi (島揺らし) in the game One Piece: Gigant Battle.
