i fucking cried tbh. i kinda felt it coming,,,, i knew one day luffy would not be able to save someone and i had a bad feeling the moment luffy freed him tbh. itâs just.. it left me w a bitter feeling & so much regret that iâve only survived this pain by reading survival fanfics. that pops died BEFORE ace died was like a punch in the face & one of the most painful moments ever in my life. this man and ace meant and mean the world to me, honestly. cries with you.
i was spoiled for aceâs death long before i ever read op so i didnât get to have a Genuine Reaction to it and i mourn the loss of that every day :â)....i appreciate it as a writing choice bc it was so powerful tbh and seeing luffy break down like that over it really endeared me to him and made him feel so human- in fact i think that was the moment where luffy totally rose in the ranks and became one of my favorite characters. Â
but at the same time it hurt so freakin bad my god. Â and for me at least, itâs only hurt more over the years the more i think about it (and the closer i get to aceâs age, probably, because the closer i get the more i realize just how young he was)
