Abilities And Powers

Summary

Despite being a very sick horse, Stronger has the strength and stamina to carry around Doc Q for an extended period of time and only succumbed to exhaustion on an occasional basis. He can also gallop with extraordinary speed while carrying his master as shown in the anime when Teach ordered his crew to kill Whitebeard, Stronger enabled his master to land a hit on Whitebeard after Shiryu. Despite his sickly constitution, Stronger has great endurance, being completely submerged in Magellan's deadly venom and also took a shockwave attack from Sengoku.

Devil Fruit

Stronger ate the Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a Pegasus hybrid and a full Pegasus at will. Since he is already a horse, this power basically just allows him to grow wings and fly. With his powers, he was able to carry both Doc Q and Blackbeard while airborne, albeit the latter being of crushing weight for him.

History

Sky Island Saga

Jaya Arc

Stronger carried Doc Q throughout the Blackbeard Pirates' visit to Mock Town, often collapsing while carrying his master. After the crew left Mock Town, they set sail on their raft in pursuit of Monkey D. Luffy, but the raft was destroyed by the Knock Up Stream, which left Stronger and Doc Q struggling to stay afloat.

Water 7 Saga

Postenies Lobby Arc

Stronger was once again carrying his sick master during the Blackbeard Pirates' raid on Banaro Island. When Portgas D. Ace attacked Blackbeard, Stronger and Doc Q were knocked back by Ace's Fire Fist. While their captain prepared to retaliate, Stronger carried Doc Q as the Blackbeard Pirates fled the town. They all watched from a safe distance as Blackbeard fought and defeated Ace.

Summit War Saga

Impel Down Arc

During the Blackbeard Pirates' attack on Impel Down, Stronger carried Doc Q. After an exchange of words between Blackbeard and Monkey D. Luffy, Stronger was poisoned along with the rest of the crew by Magellan's Hydra. Later, the whole crew was saved by an antidote provided by former Chief Guard Shiryu, who accepted Blackbeard's offer and joined their crew. They traveled down to Level 6, where Blackbeard had the prisoners fight their cellmates to the death. Of the survivors, four were recruited to join the crew.

Marineford Arc

The crew traveled to Marineford, and during the Summit War of Marineford, they were spotted on the execution platform where they had been watching events unfold. Whitebeard attacked them, but they survived and retaliated, killing the Emperor. Soon after, Stronger helped drape a black cloth over Whitebeard's body and Blackbeard, and the crew then stood guard to stop the Marines and other pirates from interfering. After Blackbeard successfully absorbed the powers of the Gura Gura no Mi, he demonstrated his new abilities while his crew celebrated. Sengoku in his Buddha form attacked the Blackbeard Pirates, who all survived the attack. When Shanks arrived and called for an end to the war, the Blackbeard Pirates left rather than fight the Red Hair Pirates.

Postwar Arc

In the New World, the Blackbeard Pirates captured Jewelry Bonney and her crew and planned to trade her for a Marine warship. However, when Akainu arrived on the warship, the pirates fled, with Stronger carrying Doc Q.

During The Timeskip

One year after the war at Marineford, the Blackbeard Pirates fought against the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and ultimately won. At some point, the Blackbeard Pirates arrived at an island in the New World, where Doc Q and Stronger along with a few other other crew members were frozen by the former Admiral Kuzan. However, the latter and Teach began talking and drinking, so Kuzan undid the freezing. After a few moments of conversation, Kuzan froze some of the crew members again upon hearing Laffite suggest that they steal his Devil Fruit, though Teach managed to convince the former Admiral to join them. After Trafalgar Law instigated the Rocky Port Incident and with some involuntary help from marine captain Koby the Blackbeard Pirates were able to make Hachinosu their headquarters.

Whole Cake Island Saga

Zou Arc

The Blackbeard Pirates later attacked Baltigo, the Revolutionary Army's headquarters. Baltigo was destroyed by the time the Marines and Cipher Pol arrived, but the Revolutionary Army was able to escape. The Blackbeard Pirates fled after a brief clash with Cipher Pol.

Final Saga

Egghead Arc

Knowing that Law, Eustass Kid, or Luffy would travel to Winner Island once they left Wano, Teach decided to wait there with Jesus Burgess, Van Augur, Doc Q, and Stronger to steal copies of the Road Poneglyphs from any arriving crew. When they saw the Polar Tang of the Heart Pirates, they attacked it, blasting several holes in the submarine's hull. During the attack, Stronger flew with Doc Q above the crew's ship, while the latter infected the enemies with his power. Shortly after the Heart Pirates reached the island's surface, Teach hopped onto Stronger's back to carry him there, and the horse struggled to carry the Commodore. Law then used R-ROOM to cut Stronger in two, causing the horse and the men to fall toward the ocean. As they fell, Doc Q believed Stronger to be dead and congratulated him for being a good boy, though the horse talked back to its master. Subsequently, the crew managed to defeat the Heart Pirates, leaving almost all of them in the sea along with the sunken and destroyed Polar Tang. Afterwards, Stronger, whose body was reattached, and the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates surrounded an unconscious Law, while Teach contemplated what to do with the latter's Ope Ope no Mi. However, Bepo transformed into Sulong and attacked the crew, before swimming away, taking Law with him. Some time later, Blackbeard Pirates returned to Hachinosu.
