And that's why Whitbeard knew Rogers had a son, right? Because Rogers knew him well enough to know WB would take good care of this information let alone son. It wasn't the fact that Ace was Rogers' son that sparked his interest it was his tenacity and news that wanted him in his crew ever since he turned down the warlord position. Besides that he would've treated him like any other real threat pirate "cough" crocodie "cough."funny u say that since WB actually became Ace's ''father'' and I's sure Roger knew very well WB was that kind of man
Rogers already conquered the seas and was already dying.True but we know WB and Roger were chummy to a degree because Roger offered to give WB Raftel/OP location, his prized possession. That's basically him choosing WB to follow him so he thought well of him. Plus we know WB ended up taking Ace because he was Rogers son and was grooming him to take his father's position.
And as for grooming Ace, we learned this after the fact not before. According to Sengoku or Garp (i think even Doflamingo) mentioned that Wb left the crown in respect to Rogers and what he has done. WB planning to use Ace as the next King because of bloodline was totally unexpected and pushy for a second coming Rogers. Garp loved his family regardless of being a marine or pirate and that's what seperates WB from Garp.
