Actually he only told good things about you two. [And a few of the more ridiculous things, but Marco's got you covered bro.] At least by my time. He was a little homesick by that point I think.

Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, is the strongest man in the world. He's the only one to ever tie in a fight with Gol D. Roger. A lot of people think Pops and Roger were enemies, but it was more like rivals. They shared drinks together, we had common enemies that sort of thing, just completely different goals. There are plenty of people who think the road to becoming King of the Pirates could be achieved by taking Pops' head. Hell, that's how we got most of our reputation: through fighting every idiot who tried to assassinate him. Ace was a little more gung-ho about it, but then that's Ace for everything.
