“You're not the one Teach!!
The man roger was waiting for,at the very least,it's not you teach
Just as there are people who inherited roger's will...
Someday one will carry ace's will...
You may eradicate their bloodline ,but their flame never dies...
For many ages , it has been passed down through the generations...
And someday,bearing the weight of all these generations,a man will appear to challenge this world...
Sengoku,you people of the World Government are living in fear of that great battle that will someday engulf the entire world...
Though it has nothing to do with me... When somebody finds that treasure... The world will be turned upside down!!...
OH yes!it will be found!That day will come!!!!
ONE PIECE!IS OUT THERE!!!!!!”
― Whitebeard

“Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they become the worse type of person. Unfortunately, they end up hurting themselves in the long run. They don’t want to hurt other people. It is against their very nature. They want to make amends and undo the wrong they did. Their life is a wave of highs and lows. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing, and the ones that often become activists for the broken hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.”
― Shannon L. Alder
