I always forget this moment when the world first finds out about Ace’s heritage. In the english dub he said “If only I caught him and put him up for action, I could have made a fortune!” Either way, out of all the reactions to Ace’s heritage shown by the people on Sabaody, this is the worst one to me. (That being said, that’s a hard choice cause they’re all bad.)

It’s just like, out of everything going on, this guy (and probably several others honestly) was just thinking how much money Ace would have raked in for this guy given the knowledge that Ace is a blood relative of the Pirate King. 

And Ace probably would have sold for higher than any other pirate or individual on the market. How much do you think the marines would have paid for him if they couldn’t order him over due to Celestial Dragons wanting him. An auction house would be packed full of people who hated Roger, who wanted torture someone just for the satisfaction that he has Roger’s blood in his veins. People who want a grand trophy no one else in the world could own, the bragging right of owning the pirate kings son. People who wanted Ace on the chance he’d know where the One Piece was.

Ace died for him.

Because Luffy’s life was more important than anything to him. Because Luffy was the most important person to him and he sacrificed himself, knowing perfectly what would happen.

Because Ace was a logia and the punch could’ve gone through him but doing this wouldn’t shield the punch and would still touch Luffy.

Acedeu!!
