Ace going apeshit over people talking smack or loving over his friends is like the one thing he inherited from dear old biological dad.

im doing my first time watch rn, and I can't be the only one that thinks that Ace died like a bozo, right? Mans was home free and suicided for some schoolyard rear end taunts, I thought there was gonna be some real knife twist poo poo

Oh yeah, my partner was super invested in that plot, sobbing, coming up with theories in the middle of the night, the whole works. Then THAT happened, and:

:j: : “Oh. That was stupid.”

Edit: she also thought that Squard acted completely reasonably, and argued that Whitebeard was the villain for the rest of the arc.

Whitebeard: needs to be kept on life support, is old as gently caress and dying, takes over 500 stabs/shots/magic punches to finally take him down -- and dies standing
Ace: one melty punch

Even Akainu is confused his smack talk actually worked, one of the funniest panels in retrospect.

Akainu: ..... it CANNOT be that easy, right!?! :stare:

I do love that Akainu becoming Supreme Admiral has made him (even more) miserable. He's just fully stressed out and infuriated and frustrated all the time and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Best part was when that once scene where Akainu's losing his poo poo and Sengoku, having fully entered "I'm retired and I've got zero fucks left to give" mode, is just standing in the background going "Not so easy is it!"

I can't get enough of how goofy vegapunk looks with the tongue and stretched head. It's so One Piece to have one of the most important characters who's been teased for 20 years to look like that

I like to think that Oda had loads of different designs for Vegapunk over the years and eventually just decided on all of them

I was thinking about this during the OP movies. Dude does not get a smidge of a W at any point since he got the job. Not even in Stampede! Everyone with a name gets a little W in that movie one way or the other!! Akainu's life really sucks and he's gonna let it all out on someone for sure.

Sengoku mellowed the gently caress out when he quit the job, meaning great things for the already very mentally stable Sakazuki.

Given the guy's "absolute justice" mantra and his willingness to murder Coby during the Marineford war, not to mention him getting pissed at Fujitora for admitting fault during Dressrosa instead of stealing credit for Doflamingo's defeat, he's absolutely gonna end up snapping eventually. I won't be shocked if he's in Impel Down by the end of the series.

It would be very funny if it was a small thing that finally set him off. Like his pen explodes and he gets ink on his favorite shirt.

"And the DICK?"

Sakazuki was born to a poor baker family, who barely managed to scrape by selling homemade doughnuts. When his family was brutally slaughtered by notorious pirate Cruller D. Unkin, he devoted the rest of his life to leaving his family’s mark on the evil pirates of the world.
