Oda shud have had whitebeard do something that was simiar to gold roger, but in his own in a way. have him say something like the dawn of a new era or wutevr and have his death symbolize the end of the old one
Well, he did exactly that but in a different way. Roger died smiling and Whitebeard died standing in the facing the whole marine force and Shichibukai.
Even in death, no one could bring him down. Morover, just added fuel to the fire which Gold D. Roger started. Thus, now the great legacy is shared by 2 great men, Gold D. Roger and Whitebeard. Such honorable rivalry and friendship...
Whitebeard, you are awesome! Hats off to you.
