I think the thing I like most about this story arc is how plays with the Shonen story tropes and teases going in the way you assume it’ll go, only to suddenly switch. Luffy faces impossible odds all to save his brother… This war will change the face of the world, and Luffy, fresh from escaping the inescapable Impel Down prison, is desperate to be in the middle of it… So let’s take an overall look at it, shall we?įirefist Ace is about to be executed by the Marines, his Captain Whitebeard and crew are on their way to stop it. I obviously heard of the ending long ago, which takes some of the edge off of it, but I still enjoyed my long-awaited watch through of the story arc. When I started getting into One Piece proper I heard about this then-publishing story arc, a showdown with the most teased-as-powerful characters finally unleashing a fraction of their power in a big war with Luffy’s brother Ace’s life in the centre of it, and thought it sounded great.
