Whitebeard Has Some Competition For Best Dad

When it comes to parents inOne Piece,a lot ofcharacters face harsh criticism for their treatment of their children. Abandoning a child for adventure, experimenting on your children to turn them into emotionless super soldiers, or just having children for the sake of unifying all the differentraces,are just a few awful things that parents have done for adventure.Oftentimes, foundfamilies,with parents like Fishman Tom, Hirilurk, and Whitebeard are far better than biological families in the world ofOne Piece.

However, one biological dad even gives Whitebeard a run for his money.Capone “Gang” Bege, captain of the Fire Tank Pirates,despite being one of the crueler characters in all of One Piece,has proven to be one of the best parents.Although the bar isn’t set very high, Bege’s love for his childfeels likeone of the most natural father-son relationships in the series. In fact, Bege’s love for his wife and Pez makes the trio one of thegreatestfamily units in all of One Piece.

Mafia Boss and Father

DuringOne Piece’stime skip, Bege formed an alliance with the Big Mom pirates by marrying Charlotte Chiffon. As it turns out, this alliance was simply a means of getting closer to Big Mom to assassinate her, a task that even Luffy and the Straw Hats assist in. Despite this, the love for his new wifeChiffonis genuine, and the two have a child named Pez.

One Piece’sWorst Generation memberBege, as many fans already know,isagruffman.Being a former Mafia Boss and hitman, Bege feels like one of the cruelest pirates of the Worst Generation. Although he treats his crew well, almost like a real Mafia family, nothing compares tothe way thatBege treats his son and wife. When dealing with his family, Bege isadoting and loving father, acting goofy to make his son laugh and frequently displaying love and affection towards his wife.

Bege Loves His Family More than Pirating

Firstly, Bege is always there for his wife and children. When Chiffon is kidnapped byOven, one of the strongest members of the Big Mom pirates,and held for ransom, Bege, with his son in one arm, storms an entire island to save her. It seems that Bege is always willing to do what it takes to save his family, even risking theentire WholeCake Island escape to save his family.

On top of this, Bege isn’t afraid to compromise his status as one of the most feared Worst Generation members in order to make his child laugh. One of his favorite hobbies, outside of murder, is making funny faces at his son. Bege seems to prioritize raising his son over even pirating, something that many characters, like the Red Haired pirates’ sniper, Yasopp, couldn’t do. While this may seem small, in the world ofOnePiecewhere pursuing dreams is the mostimportantthing, raising Pez is obviously one of Bege’s true dreams come true.

Is Bege Endangering His Child?

Babies Make Bad Pirates

Although Pez is still an infant during the events ofOne Piece’sWhole Cake Island Arc, Bege still brings him around for most of the journey.Despite feeling a bit like child endangerment,it isn’tcompletely uncommon toexposechildren to the pirate life in the series.Being with a crew as strong as the Fire Tank pirates is probably safer than any random island on the Grand Line,especiallydue to how volatile the world ofOne Pieceis post-time skip. Additionally, much like a real Mafia boss, Bege bringing Pez on the ship is already bringing him into the family business,showinghis son how his papa lives.

Despitethere beingso many bad dads like Vinsmoke Judge, Bege has to be one of the best biological fathers in all ofOne Piece.Such agruffMafia boss prioritizing his son’s happiness and defending his family so vehemently makes for a surprisingly sweet and endearing character.Though Bege may be a cruel man and pirate,when it comes to being a father, he gives even Whitebeard a run for his money.
