this scene was made for me btw.

we got a lovely conclusion to this arc with friends turned foes turning back to friends again lmao. and Yamato cooked his big fish for everyone to enjoy so we all win!

(what ace said in jpn was specifically '安心した')

in spite of the exhaustion, ace thankfully had somebody to smile with. his rival-turned-ally may be a strict uncle but to confide in him such a personal anecdote proves how the fishman had already earned much of ace's trust over the past few years.

can't be said enough how respectable jinbei turned out to be. to the point of being luffy's therapist and voice of reason during his most lowest point.

and that's why he is deserves to be a strawhat, after having deservedly being whitebeard's close friend too.
