No. The results... [His eyes fall. Is that really all that matters? The end results? Then Marineford was even more of a failure. He can't say only the results matter, not for his sake, but for his brothers, for people here, for the Fishman Islanders themselves even. So long as they know the Whitebeard Pirates still care, doesn't that mean something? Maybe then they'll stay strong until Marco or someone else can do something about it.]

I don't know. I don't care personally because I know I'll put in my best efforts no matter what, that doesn't change. If it helps other people believe in something or take faith themselves, then yes, the effort's important. I'd still rather skip ahead to something I can do more about though.
