People act like Luffy wouldn't have turned around if it was Shanks….
The pirate Ace admired above all others was practically being laughed at; Though Ace was stupid as hell to turn around and try and take on Akainu it's not that unheard of.

Why would he off Jean Bart? He never even got close to dying.
He's thinking of Bitemytoungeof Mc'piratey

LMAO, Oda really let some deaths slide if it was all to setup shock value for Ace.
Wow
….
He couldn't off Pell, JeanBart, everyone in Skypiea, or random dude shot by Charloss but he killed Ace?
He was exploded, shot, AND pissed on….lmao OW3ND

Well, nobody cared about Lacuva, anyway. The fact that nobody seems to be able to come up with his name is proof enough of that.
In Oda's last interview, the interviewer asked:
"Have you ever been writing and started to cry yourself? …
After reading this I kept thinking which chapter made him cry and this chapter must have been the chapter (or one of the chapters) that he was talking about.
This chapter was truly tragic and I feel like I can't breathe.
Lol .
LOLLL!!!!
LOL!!!
LOL!LOLOLOL!
LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!
hahahah 16 chars
ok, ive been wanting to ask this for a long time, so here goes, WTF does the phrase 16 chars mean?
Which makes me wonder about Oda and killing minor characters. The fodders die in spades, but minor characters with a name? They somehow survive through the weirdest things.
I can almost hear Oda chuckle to himself in anticipation for fan reactions to this chapter as he spared Pell, Pagaya, Wiper, and Lacuva.

You have to have at least 16 characters in your post.
The page with Ace lying on the ground with a peaceful smile on his face just killed me. Oh my goodness…
-sniff- I'm not cryin'! I'm not cryin'!
luffy kills akainu then passes out.
Well RIP ace .
I do see how people think luffy going to go emo , yeah he going be sad and angry for a while but luffy is going to pick him self up and again kicks ass.
Things are going to look up for him when he gets back his crew.
Damn, no color spread of the Admirals. when is that gonna happen :(
Ace turned a frown upside down before he finally fell to the floor…
Could this be the 'Will of D' at play? In the sense of Ace smiling at death, much like the other D's we know who've done the same when they died (Roger, Saul, etc.)?
Oh… man... I feel like I'm going to be depressed for a month.
Fuck, Oda. Why do you make the most touching stories?
That was the saddest chapter in a long time. I'm at a total loss.
….....no. Why? no.....:sniff: This has got to be THE saddest chapter in One Piece. I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for saying this but I really REALLY don't want Ace to stay dead. Partly because he's my favorite character (as my name shows), partly because then Bon-chan and all the others that were left behind in Impel Down would have sacrificed themselves for nothing, partly because then Blackbeard is going to have a field day, and mostly because I really don't want to now see an emo Luffy.
I agree that it's very annoying in manga series where authors make characters die like 5 times and keep reviving them, and this is a very draumatic scene that would be ruined otherwise (somewhat anyway), but One Piece always had that one security that Oda-sensei would never kill off any of the important characters in the series.
Poor Ace, after he finally realizes that his life means something, he goes and gets killed. A good thing about this situation though is that now we are going to see an upgrade in Luffy as he goes to kill Akainu. I'll be cheering him on!
Damn. I don't like Ace and, storywise, it's great that he's dead. STILL, the last panel is the saddest, most shocking and unexpected scene in OP ever.
is this our first long-neck tribesmen sighting?!
This is indeed the saddest chapter, I didn't expect this to happen, Ace sacrificed his life to protect Luffy and everyone is a witness to this, including the world (which Sengoku and the Marines didn't know the broadcast is turn back on, I think).
Seeing this happen makes me think of what Moria says to Luffy about 'losing everything'. <:(
this is just straight bullshit. 100 chapter later, ACe will be pacifista. bullshit to 100th power!!!
Lol, I know deep down your mourning like a little Ace fanboy you are. :ninja:
I wonder if we would see a proper burial. With a ship on flames and stuff, like the one everyone was preparing for WB.
And talking about WB, do you still think he would die here? I'm not so sure now.
It's very, very clear to me that the reason guys like Pell survived is to set up the shock value of this moment. Oda truly is a master storyteller.
If thats true then he's not as good as you think. I was stunned by Ace's death for a moment but then the impact was lessened when i thought "nah, hell be back"
Wow
….
He couldn't off Pell, JeanBart, everyone in Skypiea, or random dude shot by Charloss but he killed Ace?
No, he killed them off. But then they got better.
if luffy didn't get owned in SA, then Impel Down then seeing ace's death.
New world, his crew will get annialated, this arc is for his growth, so ace have to stay dead or this is a betrayal of high proportion.
I'd LOVE to see Lufy in an absolute RAGE/rampage after this. It's the most predictable thing, in the vein of Goku going SS from krillins death. But even though it's predictable, I'd love to see it.
No, he killed them off. But then they got better.
You need to learn something about comics - heck, fiction in general.
There's no death if there's not a body. Here, we have a dead body.
This is what will happen. (Replace all the pokemon with all the Whitebeard pirates and Ash with Ace.)

Well….shit.
Just....wow Oda...just wow.
…now that is one emotional chapter at the end...is anyone going to make a coloring for those pages?
Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Poor Ace, Poor Luffy…
Wrath of Whitebeard, Hmmm I wonder who will be injured in the marines side, next chapter. Hmmm
Man, the week just started, and already all the info on such a big event has passed. It's going to be one long week, I can just feel it.
ok … even though i have loads of respect for oda .. coz he seems to finally have killed a character ... i'm crying T_______T noo~~ why does this have to be so emotional? i knew what was coming!!! ToT damn you oda!!!
I wonder how many WTF! fan letters jump receive/d after this chapter is/was/will be released.
I can see luffy fighting unconsciously and at the point i dont think ne one can stop him from ape ****ing on the marines. He'll probably awaken something inside of him being unconscious and fighting, which might lead to his slumber. Time skip.
Heartbreaking…
I'm going to to go through this entire thread tomorrow and savor all of the ppl's post who weren't in the spoiler thread.
Usually I'd have some connection/empathy during a part in the manga like this but not for One Piece for some reason. I'm ready to move on and see what Oda's going to do next.
Was wondering how the people at Sabaody Archipelago and the world reacted to this event, after they heard of Akainu's doing on Squado and saw Ace sacrificing to protect his brother from Akainu.
I had the feeling that Sengoku's fears became true that the world will go against the Marines but I could be wrong.
They were not able to hear about Squardo being manipulated by Akainu, because Buggy and his denden camera crew were frozen solid by Aokiji.
It was WB betraying his own allies.
CUT…. Arggg..... and BACK... ROLLING CAMERA ACTION!!!!!
Buggy: Im BAaaack!!!!
Ace being free... Fisted by Akainu... Ace death with a cheeky smile on his face.
Oh man, I would love to see the reactions of everyone at Sabaody.
I want to see Whitebeard go crazy on Marineford now.
I wonder how many WTF! fan letters jump receive/d after this chapter is/was/will be released.
many of them will have imported stamps. and they will need countless translators to translate them too. eiichiro will not lieave his house for like a year or two…
I really shouldn't have read this before I leave for school.
Now I'm shaking and crying like a baby. ;__________________________________; I bet I'll be like a zombie whole day….
Seriously, I just can't believe this happens!! T_____________T He has always been my fave chara (with some others). I really hope that someone will come and do his/her magic and then he'll woke up. ;_____; In other hand, I hope not.
At least he died with a smile on his face... ;3; I wouldn't cry this much without that last panel... Heartbreaking indeed. ;______________________;
