i think Ace was one of, if not the most, lovable supporting protagonists in One Piece (which is saying a lot, considering how many there are) and also one of the coolest. He was some of the only family Luffy had, or at least knew he had. He was Luffy's big brother, and how he died reflected this. He did what any good brother should and took a smoldering hot fist through the chest for his little brother. As a person who had been the subject of a manhunt at birth, you'd expect him to be a heartless monster who's committed horrible crimes, but he's incredibly noble. He was born the son of the most notorious criminal, but that's not his fault, but he ends up paying for it all the same. Also, the reactions to his death (Luffy's specifically) are absolutely heartbreaking
I never really read something like this, but it came out to be very interesting !
Once you've seen it, you'll see it over and over again.
This death really hit me emotionally... :(!
Check out my introduce yourself and my youtube channel,
in my "five characters to look out for at wano" video I actually talk about ace!

Up until now I cannot still move forward on Aces's Death. I wonder what if he is still alive? But on a second thought, just like in real life, we can never return what has been lost. It was really one of the saddest scene in the story but I realized, luffy needs to feel how to loose something from him. Because after that he strived hard to become stronger so that he could protect his friends in the future. All thanks to Jimbei for accompanying Luffy and to Rayleigh for training him. Even his nakamas do everything they can do too become stronger to so that they can be someone who can be a help to their captain.
