I cant stop thinking about little Luffy following Ace through those woods and getting beat up every day just to have a friend

Young Ace's persistent attempts to ditch Luffy in the forest are so bittersweet, it's almost hard to watch. I kept feeling this ache in my chest, knowing the tragic end to their story, and it just makes me cherish every single one of their innocent, playful interactions so much more.

Ace's initial coldness towards Luffy, even when my boy just wants to be friends, really stung me. It's gut-wrenching to witness their difficult early days, especially with the shadow of Marineford looming over everything, and I can't help but feel Ace was trying to push him away to avoid future pain. Still, knowing Garp tossed them to Dadan for a "tough love" upbringing, it's wild how it somehow created the strongest bond between them.
