In episode 1068 of One Piece, a member of **CP-0** was seen talking to
**Izou** , where the former mentioned that Whitebeard pirates have committed a
historical crime.

In both anime and manga, the biggest battles Whitebeard pirates fought were
the Marineford War for Ace and the Payback War against Blackbeard, both of
which weren't related to World Government.

Then what exactly could it be?

question
one-piece
What historical crime did Whitebeard Pirates commit?


**The Marines are part of World Government** , and arguably they're its most
active branch. Therefore assaulting their headquarters and laying waste to
them is already a crime against WG of historic proportion.

I don't know if your subtitles are an official translation. The English
translation of chapter 1038 I am familiar with (it would be interesting to
know what the original Japanese says) speaks of _historic crimes_ of
Whitebeard's crew, which may just refer to the total of their criminal
activities.

Of those we aren't shown much (in point of fact, in chapter 965 we see the
Moby Dick fleeing from Marine warships because Whitebeard thought that
fighting them was pointless), but it stands to reason that while conquering
and mantaining their infamous _turf_ , the Whitebeard Pirates would evict WG
officers, on occasion. It also stands to reason that plundering WG cargos
would be part of their income.

I'll leave aside the issue of whether or not they were helping a world-class
terrorist - which Whitebeard techincally was because of his previous
affiliation with Rocks - escape capture, because a large portion of Rocks'
story has been classified by the WG.
