Respect for Oda having the guts to throw a curveball at his readers.

All I can say is I hope Ace is actually dead, I love Ace to death one of my favorite characters, but this was just to epic to be taken back like that. One hell of a great emotion filled chapter. I seriously thought WB was going to be the one to die and had never expected Ace to be the one to go. Especially after they rescued him and with this being a Shounen figured happy ending, but no Oda continues to throw surprises at us. Great chapter...5/5


Oda dislikes the idea of bringing people back from the dead so I doubt he will do anything of the sort.

Wow, you really cant see that comming!

But im getting really tired of this part of the manga, its only been Luffy, we dont even know what happened to the rest of the crew except of the small bits in the start of each chapter, as far as we know they arnt even going to be able to regroup, i wish we could know what happened, hopefuly after this whole thing we get to see what the rest of the crew has been doing!

To be honest, since the arc began I didn't think Ace would make it out of there alive. When they saved him from the podium I actually got my hopes up but as usual Oda managed to catch me off guard.

As an aspiring writer, I agree with Oda. Reviving a character who has been killed is a waste of text. Of course, I don't see him doing that.

I don't really remember if it was said before but this is a big event because it's the first time that a character actually die in One Piece. And i feel the same as some other people who says that this was made on the purpose of developping Luffy's character. So even though i said this arc was kind of useless, i don't think it at all now because imo it will make things move especially for Luffy.

Can I vote for both "loved it" and "hated it" on this poll? Damn it I had to stop reading the comments after a while because I started crying again. I think this is the third chapter that has gotten me crying in this manga which is pretty impressive since I think I've only had four chapters ever that could make me cry. Only Oda could make me cry like this over a fictional character. Damn you Oda.

Yeah i, myself, never cried once for a manga but i did several times when it comes to anime. I absolutely don't think that it's not sad or anything but not enough to make me cry. However i can understand those peoples because i know some closes relatives who can cry for books for instance.

I agree, When I read the Going Merry's funeral, I was sad but didn't cry. But when it happend in the anime, I actually cried...

Well I guess that was kind of ambiguous. I meant that in the whole of my manga reading experience, out of thousands of chapters in hundreds of mangas, only 4 chapters managed to make me cry. Three of those chapters came from One Piece. Namely Going Merry's funeral, Zoro's sacrifice (though that was for a completely different reason), and Ace's death. The only time I ever cried from another manga than One Piece... well I don't even remember what it was, it was over two years ago.

Whitebeard's tears, Garp's flashback and most of all, Luffy's reaction were just too much for such a tasteless joke.

I mean, it has to be a joke. Nobody dies in One Piece.

And yet his dead. Don't you feel like a fooll now? Nobody dies in one Piece my ass.
Just because the guy said he doesn't like killing characters you idiots thought he'll never kill one.

Also Ace was kind of necessity to die because he was Roger's son. The guy being the son of the Pirate King and part of the new generation was the MAIN rival for Luffy in his dream of being a pirate king. And considering Luffy wouldn't want to be enemies with him and nether to the readers want that or Ace himself, the only solution is for Ace to die before he stands in Luffy's way and help Luffy's progress as a character.


vindemon64 said:

But now that Ace is dead, his DF fruit should be available again. I wonder how that will work out.


Maybe Luffy would find a nakama in the future that reminds him of his brother and happens to be fire. Also this nakama could help Luffy get back to his old self confitend self after maybe changing from his brother death?

No...Oda changed my world of anime and manga...

Was him planning this for over a decade now? were you really Oda? Planning a story for so many years and suddenly change the tone so drastically? Because it doesn't matter what people will say to Luffy or what resolve will Luffy find, he will never be the same again, Oda planneed this.

What an idiot seriously ...

Everyone died for his sake and the first thing he did was to answer to some obvious provocation from a random guy and throw his life away.

I feel so sad for Luffy, he did so much for his brother.

People who said that Ace was a moron or idiot or some dumb fuck don't understand Ace's personality. This is the same as his resolution to go out to the sea and search for BB even though WB and the others stopped him. That's just who he is, if he did not turn back right there, I might've lose my respect for the man.

I understand what you mean but beeing an adult also means that sometimes you have to shut your mouth even if you want to retort after an insult, because your pride or the pride of your friends is not the only thing at stake.

If Ace was truly an adult he should have sacrificed his anger and the old man's pride to honour the sacrifice of his crewmates.

But I still loved the chapter, truly.
