The title box carries more weight than Whitebeard's, Marco's, Crocodile's words.... continue the cope arguments pls
Whitebeard's statement is invalid.
Marco, Whitebeard's doctor - his statements are invalid too.
Crocodile, someone who fought Whitebeard before - his statements are invalid too.
Akainu, his current opponent - his statement is also invalid.
The only valid thing is the title box.
