Reading One Piece pt 326: The Death Of Portgas D. Ace
Chapter 574
Thoughts:
- New Volume. Honestly, how does Oda manage to end his volumes on such cliffhangers? The last Big One I remember was Zoro vanishing
- but coming back to the issue at hand, ACE HAS A GIANT FIST IN HIS TORSO
- “ACE IS HIT!” I should be more shocked, like these guys, but I’m more…
- …and I really want to meme but don’t know what yet
- let’s start with “wait, that’s illegal” and go from there. Because he was already FREE, GODDAMMIT, HE WAS ALREADY FREE
- I think Marco’s soul left his body
- huh, why is Aokiji like this? I thought he would expect it from Akainu?
- Garp… I think he stopped expecting Ace’s death when Luffy punched him. All whole 2 seconds of nepotism for NOTHING
- Whitebeard… I think he’s angry
- Sabaody saw that
- shooting Akainu now won’t change a thing, man. But where is the most important reaction? Luffy?
- Jimbei!
- FUCKING STOP TRYING TO SACRIFICE THEMSELVES HOLY SHIT JUST STOP IT STOP IT! WE ALREADY GOT A DEAD MAN HERE! JUST STOP
- “What are you doing, GARP?” Sengoku?
- “Keep holding me down, Sengoku! If you don’t, I… I’ll kill Sakazuki!” “YOU FOOL!” !!! (he means Akainu) FUCKING SAME. He really is a father
- Marco and Vista are attacking Akainu with haki!
- “Ugh, you haki users… can be such a handful. Can’t you see that fire fist can’t be saved?” that step of grief is called ANGER FOR A REASON AKAINU
- jhfsgjfdbshjk Ace is falling into Luffy’s arms. Fuck
- “I’m sorry… Luffy…”
- sir, are you aware that this is horrifying
- “I’m sorry you didn’t get to save me. I’m sorry…” DON’T
- “Hurry up, Doctor! He needs first aid!” HOW DO YOU TREAT A HOLE DOES HE EVEN STILL HAVE LUNGS
- “It’s no use! I know I’m dying! My guts have been burned out! I’m not gonna last long! So… listen to me Luffy!” what will be your last wo….
- “What are you saying!? Are you gonna die, Ace?! Y-you promised me, remember?! You said you’d never die!! Isn’t that what you told me, Ace?!” you did promise him, Ace, why are you breaking your word
- “Yeah. It reminds me of Sabo. If I didn’t have a little brother that needed to be taken care of… I would’ve given up then.” …ok, I heard the name Sabo and not much else but truly? Ace, you were like that that long?
- “Nobody wanted me. It couldn’t be helped.” Everyone wants you! Luffy wants you! Whitebeard wants you! The whole Whitebeard Fleet and whole World Government wants you! You were adopted through a literal kidnapping! You have a fucking ‘Wanted’ poster!
- Who cares what some stupid bandits thought about you! This is so unfair
- “I know. If you ever see Dadan again… please give my regards. Dying makes me nostalgic… even for Dadan.” Why is this happening. What is the point of this
- “But there’s one thing I’ve left undone. I wasn’t able to see your dream through to the end.” Ace
- “But you… I know you can do it. You’re my little brother!” Ace, don’t die
- “Just like I swore back then… I have no regrets!” “Liar!” “I’m not lying!”
- “What I really wanted… wasn’t fame. All I wanted was to know… whether or not should I be born.” What kind of dream is that?
- “I can’t even shout anymore. Tell everybody what I say to you.” Stop traumatizing your brother, Ace. And me, too
- “Pops! Fellow Pirates! And… Luffy.” OH GOD WHITEBEARD’S CRYING THIS IS THE LAST STRAW
*becomes a fountain*
- “I’ve always been such a hopeless person… I was demon spawn… the son of the devil!”
- “Thank you… for loving me!”
- …is that a smile
- “Ace?”
- I can’t breathe
Same. Hard same.
