[Okay, credit where credit's due... that was fucking badass. And an incredibly Roger thing to say besides.]
[He's half tempted to let Straw Hat just have that moment, and half tempted to try to say something to make the kid laugh again. But a reference to Whitebeard would be out of place, and he's not sure Straw Hat would understand it. Especially since Whitebeard's era was something Portgas yelled about as he died, and Straw Hat isn't that far yet. "Gurarara" = no. "So what will be the new era?" = no.]
[He thinks about it and takes out his jitte to twirl it around with his wrist.]
