Whitebeard a.k.a Edward Newgate has some yandere potential. Particularly Platonic Yandere.
In canon, he basically kidnapped Ace to become his son and be part of his pirate family. He wore Ace down until the fire dude finally submits and accepted to be his son
Hey, I just met you.
And this is crazy.
But, my name is Oden.
Recruit me maybe.
Hey, I just met you.

But my name is Oden.
Recruit me maybe.
I forgot I made these - enjoy
hey so. whitebeard died after ace - after ace sacrificed himself for his brother, for his only brother left in the world, and it was seen on camera. it was a spectacle. something that would shock the world, just like roger’s did but -
then Whitebeard died. Whitebeard died after shouting The One Piece is Real! restarting Roger’s grand era of piracy with renewed hope and ambition.
Whitebeard didn’t let Ace have his father’s legacy. He shouldered that burden himself. his death, instead of ace’s, helped sparked a new era. His last words were the ones people cared about, not ace’s private ones to his brother. whitebeard made sure ace was a son of the sea - uunable to be compared to roger in anyway.

One Piece Chapter 999 | Opening 25 | Episode 1014
Marco crying over Ace in the manga, opening and anime because if you’re going to be stabbed in the chest once you might as well be stabbed in the chest 3 times.
“If you breath deeply and close your eyes, what emerges is the path your soul reveals” okay Toei.
Thinking about the 3 most recent people to have clashed with Kaido on Onigashima, and the one thing they all have in common:
Luffy
.
One Piece 911 | 1042
Yamato
.
One Piece 999 | 1024
Marco
.
One Piece 999 | 1043
Kaido may have never met Ace, but Ace did come back for him. Ace is back for him, here and now.
And if we get a final fight between Kaido on one side and Luffy, Yamato and Marco on the other… then what
One Piece Episode 1003 | 1010 | 1013
These three scenes from the recent episodes on Wano struck me as similar at first because of the way Marco, Corazon and Yamato say the word “Free”. But as always with One Piece, there are other common threads woven in here - of Fathers, Fate, Loss, and Inherited Will.
Yamato has no freedom because he is the son of Kaido. Marco and Law, on the other hand, were both put on the path to freedom by their adoptive fathers.
Marco, the first son of Whitebeard, is no longer bound by his father’s voice, or his will. He is free to do as he chooses. Yamato, who felt bound to remain on Onigashima by his father’s will, is finally able to express his true desire with the help of Whitebeard’s other son, Ace.
Ace helps Yamato break free – metaphorically – from the shackles of Kaido, and realize his desire to follow in the footsteps of Oden; the same way that Ace himself sought to break free from the shackles of Roger, and would go on to follow Whitebeard, picking up the mantle previously held by Oden.
Law’s situation is a bit more nuanced; Corazon’s words still have a hold over him, but not in a way that takes away his free will. Sengoku ensures that Rosinante’s will, for Law to be free, is carried forward – by telling him that Corazon’s love for him, that the act of saving him, is not tied to Law’s status as a bearer of the Will of D. Where Law might have felt compelled to seek the true history in repayment of Corazon’s sacrifice, he now chooses to do so of his own volition. This freedom is a recent development – for all that Corazon willed him to be free, Law never truly escaped the shackles of Doflamingo until the man was defeated – by Ace’s little brother, Luffy.
Yamato rejects the hand dealt to him by fate in order to start on his path to freedom, whereas Law, upon finally gaining his freedom, sets out to find the meaning behind his fate. Their actions on Onigashima are driven by the will they inherited from another – Law by Corazon’s will, and Yamato by Oden’s – just as Marco’s very presence on Onigashima is driven by the will he inherited from Ace.
Law lost the father that nudged him towards freedom, Yamato lost Ace, and Marco… Marco lost them both. Yet of the three it is Marco – who carries in him a bit of Whitebeard, a bit of Ace, and a bit of Oden – that experiences freedom in the truest sense.
Ace: My father was Roger.
Whitebeard: Huh. Never would’ve guessed that.
Ace: Because he managed to keep having a kid a secret?
Whitebeard: Nah it’s just that you’re really short.
Ace:
Ace:I’M FUCKING SORRY?!
Whitebeard: Yeah Roger was like nine feet tall so I expected his kid would be near that height.
Ace:?!?!?!?!?!?!
