One Piece: The true ending of Marine Ford, which was released by Oda, explained.

ODA first had a different plan for Marineford. One piece may have been very different.

Why did Ace die with one piece?

Portgas D. ACE was a major one piece Character, Summit War Saga's last arc until he dies at the end of Marine Ford Arc. After facing BLACKBEARD to protect Luffy, ACE was transferred to the world government and was sentenced to public execution. He was in jail while waiting for his sentence.

As soon as the news about Ace's capture was furge, it naturally caused a war between the Marine Corps and the white Beard pirates, and Black Beager supported the Marine Corps for the purpose of killing many white Beard pirates as possible for Marine Corps. The Marine Corps also aimed to remove Roger's potential heir.

Of course, Lufy came to the war in Ace's structure. He was able to free him in prison, but Ace later sacrificed him to protect him from Admiral Akainu. At the same time, Blackbeard was able to kill Whitebeard and caused great disadvantages to Luffy's allies. However, before the situation worsened, the Marine Corps and Black Beads did not retreat, and they threatened to participate in red hair and war. This intervention ended the war. SHANKS ends it, which made many fans wonder what kind of relationship with the world government.

Ace's death felt like a betrayal to many fans

When Summit War Saga is continuous one piecePopularity in Japan has begun to soar. In fact, the sales figures suggest that this series has reached its peak at Fish-Man Island Saga, which starts immediately after the normal war in 2011. After Netflix began to stream the animation and live -action series, it may have been much more popular, but most of the sales data is based on physical copies and may not be the best indicators considering the rise in digital sales. Anyway in recent years one piece Physical cartoon sales were far from the level seen in 2011.

This emphasizes the great influence of the Summit War that Saga suffered in the fan base. At that time, fans were eagerly waiting for a new chapter and discussed the idea of ​​Ace. Of course, many believed that ace would be liberated and survived in war. So for many His death felt like a betrayal, as if he wastes his potential as a character. This is still a violent debate, and many have argued that his death is unnecessary and not in the story. In fact, many fans believe that ODA regrets him killing him because of the numerous spin -offs focused on ACE after Summit War Saga.

One piece has become popular since Marine Ford Arc

On the other hand, some claim that it is necessary. First, it has added danger and high stake in the war. The normal war would have felt meaningless without the same result as his death. Second, it has made a significant change in the people who realize the true power of the world government, especially Luffy. Many also argue that Ace Death is more meaningful than surviving ace, given the arc's case. It is difficult to deny that his death is a pivotal moment of the series.

Ace's death was the key to Luffy's development.

As mentioned, Ace's death was an important event for Luffy. He decided to see him at any time when he recognized the enemy's power. It is clear that he is less impulsive in the next arc and grew up as a character and a leader. But there may be points for fans to suggest that Luffy's character development may have occurred without his death. Perhaps if it disappeared according to the Ace Guy, Luffy would have experienced a similar change.
