"I only have… one regret…"
"That I couldn't see you achieve your dream… Haa…" Ace continued to bleed from his mouth as he said this with a smile.
"But I'm sure you'll do it…"
"You're my brother after all…!!!"
"Just like… we swore… I've lived with no regrets!!!"
"No!! You liar!!" Luffy exclaimed, unable to accept the reality.
"Haa… Haa… it's not a lie…" Ace continued with difficulty,
"The thing I really wanted wasn't fame or anything…"
"What I really wanted… was to know… that it was okay for me to be born…" At this moment, Ace admitted the true desire buried deep in his heart.
"Haa… I can't… talk for much longer… Luffy, what I'm about to tell you…"
"You go tell everyone else."
Luffy's eyes grew darker with every word he heard.
Tears of sadness fell from Whitebeard's eyes as he remembered his first meeting with Ace.
("Get out here! I'm here for Whitebeard's head!!!")
That's how Ace and Whitebeard met for the first time.
"I'm a worthless man… with the blood of a demon flowing through me…"
Saying that, Ace began to cry.
"Thank you… For loving me!!!"
Rob raised his hand to catch a falling snowflake at that moment.
Just a moment before, the stormy rain had strangely stopped, and these strands of snow began to fall instead.
It was a strange scene, similar to when the Going Merry was burned.
The snowflake quickly melted in Rob's hand, and the pure water drop fell on Ace's face, who died smiling in the manga.
"There's no doubt the world is sad now due to the grief of millions of people."
Rob commented on the strange weather… Baterilla was known for its warm autumn climate, snowfall in summer was no less strange.
"I'm sorry… you don't deserve this fate."
"What about a new life free of worries? You can have it as soon as you're born… I promise."
Rob wiped a small tear from the corner of his eye and stood to leave.
"I didn't think this weather could cause allergies in my eyes… really strange."
Even though no one saw him, he didn't stop pretending.
This scene still causes his tears to fall even after living a second life with a different heart and a mind that understands everything.
The essence of art still hits the most sensitive spot.
Who said he couldn't cry again?
In Ohara, a gloomy mood fell over all readers, whether store goddesses, legendary hunters, or regular readers.
Most readers' mouths trembled, and their eyes reddened more and more with every additional word Ace said.
When he said that his true desire was just to know that it was okay for him to be born… Olivia really started to cry, those words and the pure desire touched the depths of her heart.
"When someone's only wish is to feel that others are okay with their existence… what great suffering is necessary to make them have such a wish?" Olivia couldn't control her emotions, her tears kept flowing.
Thinking about the small scenes of those people Ace asked in his childhood about Roger and the possibility of him having a son and their reactions filled with hate and resentment… Olivia, as well as Bell-mere and the others, felt his desire was very reasonable.
"Even if it was just for a few others, he was still happy with that…" Bell-mere added, tears in her eyes as well.
Gloriosa was deeply moved, she tried hard to keep her tears in check, but Ace's last words swept away her last resistance.
Thank you for loving me!!!

These words from Ace before his death caused a flood of tears among Ace's fans.
Whether they were old or young, men or women, each one of them cried with Ace in his final, touching moments.
At the table where the hunters gathered, Doffy was annoyed by the gloomy atmosphere at that moment.
"Why all that drama if you were going to kill him in the end?"
Doflamingo felt as if he had been tricked by the author.
He was deeply annoyed by all the drama accompanying Ace's death because, after all, he didn't expect him to die in the first place.
On the side, Rosinante was drowning in tears, his blonde hair covering his eyes but not hiding the streak of tears that had been flowing since Ace began saying his last words.
"Why… why did Ace have to die…? This is terrible…" he said, crying.
"This is somewhat unexpected… it's foolish to fall into the trap of provocation with a few words… That damn admiral!"
Enel felt saddened by this fate because, after all, Ace's story touched his heart too, he wasn't very old, still a teenager, and his childhood memories weren't far off, the feeling of not belonging and no one loving you or your presence… he had experienced those feelings and knew the extent of Ace's suffering.
"In this world, we live off others' suffering, Ace is just one example."
Mihawk sighed sadly as he said that.
"The boy died smiling… did he really live with no regrets? That's an obvious lie, isn't it? Since he was a child, he was shaped by the hate directed at him because he was the son of the demon… it's terrible, it's sad, I didn't expect my blind eyes to tear up again until today."
Saying that Issho wiped his tears.
"Luffy-san… will collapse inevitably."
Brook felt intense fear when Ace fell dead in the manga.
Seeing how Luffy opened his mouth and screamed a cry of agony, Brook's soul trembled… even if it was just a manga scene, it caused him real pain.
"This is truly tragic…" Clover sighed with regret at the fall of one of the best characters in One Piece.
"Who expected this… a character with such potential and background left us already. What a pity…" Vegapunk felt the loss of Ace as well.
"A world where pigs live with unparalleled satisfaction (referring to the Celestial Dragons) and kings die with unparalleled regret… what an ugly world."
For the first time, Donquixote Homing felt intense anger.
The events of the One Piece manga were intertwined with reality, forming an unshakeable image in Homing's mind, who, after becoming an archaeologist, became more aware of many things.
Most archaeologists were more aware of the world's ugliness.
In Baterilla, the white snow continued to fall, at that moment, Roger and Rouge stepped out of the house to witness this scene.
Rouge's body was trembling, and Ace's last words echoed in her mind.
'Thank you for loving me!!!'
She hadn't stopped crying for a while, even Roger felt concerned that today's volume's events might shock her in some way.
"He lived a free life and died knowing that many didn't reject his existence, but rather his existence was their reason to live… I'm proud of Ace."
"He's a wonderful son…"
Roger said as he looked into the distance.
"Roger…" Rouge stopped crying and called out.
Roger looked deeply into her red eyes, swollen from all the tears, his heart feeling heavier with sadness.
She took his hand and placed it on her belly.
"Do you feel him? Our son… please, in this life, don't be a demon tormented by others because of you."
