Yes they got lucky since the whitebeard pirate's had the handicap on the war.Because of squardo stabbing whitebeard's chest.Dude,It's a chest and its near the heart.I think if a rookie received that kind of blow it would be really fatal to them and chances are they will die.But whitebeard endured it,on top of his worsening health and his wound on his chest.If you think that the stab didn't really affect whitebeard,then whitebeard's power would have been better if he didn't receive any stab on his chest.
