Up until now I cannot still move forward on Aces's Death. I wonder what if he is still alive? But on a second thought, just like in real life, we can never return what has been lost. It was really one of the saddest scene in the story but I realized, luffy needs to feel how to loose something from him. Because after that he strived hard to become stronger so that he could protect his friends in the future. All thanks to Jimbei for accompanying Luffy and to Rayleigh for training him. Even his nakamas do everything they can do too become stronger to so that they can be someone who can be a help to their captain.
