Doc Q

Doc Q, also known as "Death God", is the doctor of the Blackbeard Pirates and the captain of their Ninth Ship in the manga and anime series *One Piece*. Ironically, he is constantly ill and needs his equally sickly horse, Stronger, to get around. Doc Q is a tall, gaunt man with long gray hair, a black wide-brimmed hat, and a hangman's noose around his neck, often wearing a black fur coat. He believes heavily in fate, praising those with luck and pitying the unlucky. He has medical skills and the ability to inflict diseases through the Shiku Shiku no Mi Devil Fruit. His weapons include a double-bladed scythe and explosive apples. Despite his frail health, Doc Q is a formidable pirate, participating in major events such as the assault on Impel Down and the Marineford War. He also took part in the Blackbeard Pirates' attack on the Revolutionary Army’s headquarters and later fought Trafalgar Law. Doc Q is often seen as an enigmatic and somewhat twisted character, with his own sense of morality.
