RISING OF THE WHITEBEARD PIRATES
OVA 1: KAIDOU
"…The Ocean Sees..."
"…The beginning of the world~…"
"…and the ocean knows~…"
"The end of the world~"
As the cherry blossoms were slow and kindly falling on a large tombstone, who was filled with flowers and presents with different names tags, such as Marco, Ace, Jozu, Vista, Jinbei and many other names that were foreign for the young Shield Hero, Iwatani Naofumi, as he arrived late to said place.
"Thus, it calls us…towards the way we must take…"
"Thus, it leads us. Toward a just world…"
He didn't understand why, he was suddenly filled with such an intense urge to broke in tears, as he saw the name in said tombstone
Suddenly he felt a bit of weight on his shoulder.
"Enveloping pain…"
"And suffering…"
He turned to see no one else but Edward, who, had a pretty serene and calm smile on his face, as he kneeled on the tomb, serving a cup of Sake.
"Greatly and Kindly…"
"Wrapping us up…"
Naofumi was surprised, as the ever happy and always optimistic Edward Newgate, after putting the cup in the tomb, and serving his own, making cheers and drinking it, laughing in silence, he started dropping tears, he didn't have a sad expression, as he keep his smile on, slowly sharing cups with the tomb.
"The Ocean Sees~…"
"The beginning of the world~"
"…and the ocean knows~…"
"The end of the world~"
He slowly raised up, cleaning his tears, as he turned around to leave.
"Did you know him?" Naofumi asked.
"Even If I…"
"Were to disappear~…"
Edward moved his lips but…it was just a silent voice.
"The omniscient Ocean…"
"Leads the way~"
Naofumi couldn't understand what he meant; as the pirate simply leaved the scene. He hasn't talk since they left to came here.
"I must not fear…"
"Because you are here~!"
The Shield Hero kneeled on the tomb, as he got a closer look on its name, still not knowing him, he at the moment of reading it, he started shredding a tear.
"I must not be timid!"
"Because my comrades wait for me!"
KINRYUU ARIMOTO

R.I.P
"We must advance~…"
"Towards the Blue Horizon~"
Even if he didn't know him at all, the Shield Hero still cry, for as a great man has fallen, but as he shed tears. He is also aware, that the kind and merciful sea is now guarding and welcoming his soul in its motherly and warm waves.
The least he could do, was share a cup of sake too, as he raised up and leave the place.
Watching from the distance, how the cherry blossoms were kindly flying in the scene and slowly falling on the tomb, one of them, landed on the cup Edward had put on.
"GURARARARARA~!"
Naofumi turned around as fast as possible, thinking he just heard Edward's laughing, but it was just the empty tombstone. Once again, he felt the tears coming, but this time, he decided to leave the scene too…
He looked at the sky, as he smiled, and got back with his friends. Not without having one last look at the tomb.
"Goodbye…Pops…"

If you still couldn't catch up about what was happening, well. Kinryuu Arimoto was Whitebeard's VA for all Marineford anime, and the videogames that came before and after. And having the Kozuki Oden Arc in the current manga seeing Whitebeard again in his prime, really hits hard.
Knowing that...once the anime catch up to that flashback. Kinryuu won't voice him again, since he saddly passed away last year. So having all those feeling...made me want to write this down to get it out of my chest.
Hope you folks like it. Don't worry, Chapter 3 is in the making. I already got 8K words worth of content but is not nearly enough.
I will blow you minds up, with what is about to happen...and is just chapter 3
