I'm so sorry. I posted the wrong story last time, if you're wondering why this story showed up a lot of time, so this is the real story. I edited some.

The moment that Magma Guy shoved his fist down to his chest, Ace doesn't regret the option he chooses. He's protecting his little brother. If it's for protecting his brother, he will do anything.

He's going to die, he know. But it's okay. It's all for his little brother. He couldn't have been prouder. His weak little brother has achieved so much. He's now very strong and he still have his reliable nakama. His weakling and crybaby brother is nowhere to be seen. He's not alone anymore. He doesn't need Ace.

He know that he couldn't see Luffy achieved his dream. He know that even it's hard for Luffy and if Ace is gone, Luffy will still chase his dream. And what makes him even happier, he will be one of the reason he continues. Luffy will continue for his sake. He's not going to waste Ace's sacrifice. He trusted Luffy more than anyone.

He had a happy life. He lived a life without regrets. He knows that he's loved, and it's the goal of his life. He has completed his remaining task, to protect his little brother. So it's okay for him to left.

Thank you. It's all what's left for Ace to do. His brothers and sisters, his Oyaji, and Luffy himself.

He smiled. He smiled because he's satisfied of his life. He left no worries in this world knowing that Luffy is the man who's going to be the Pirate King. Oh hell he will. He knows it more than anyone does. He's sure of it.

Because love never fails.
