Did Ace Survive...

[DutchPhoenix]

blackbeard cutted off ace's head and sended it in a little box to whitebeard

 

[hollowfied]

lol prisonbreak?

Thats a bit gruesome isnt it? you know some children still read One piece

 

[Impel Down]

Oda's not going to chop off Ace's head and have it sent around the world like some sick mafia message. That's just messed up...yet I found it a tad funny.

But he probably won't do that.

i hope ace is not dead but i think he is dead at first page of this thread you said ace geve luffy a page but i remember it was an empty page means ace knew he was going to killed by BB or sth like that :P

 

[Impel Down]

Well, I highly doubt Ace knew that he was going to die. He appeared to have amazing confidence that he'd beat BB, and it's not like he knew BB ate a DF.

And he never said that the paper was intended for Luffy to have in case he dies. In fact, he said nothing about the paper. It could just be a D. thing.

 

[Freakzin]

He said this paper is gonna help u meet me at Pirate Summit, something like that

 

[hollowfied]

what pirate summit?

 

[Impel Down]

I don't believe he ever mentioned a Pirate Summit or anything, I think he said to meet him with it when they were both great pirates.

 

[Sorata]

Ace mention the Pirate Summit, twice that i remember, but he really didn´t explain what is the Pirate Summit, maybe he was refering to the New World.

 

[Impel Down]

He probably did just mean the New World, since I doubt he'd talk about a meeting of all the pirates, since they're all basically fighting each other, and the WG won't let them meet anyway.

 

[hollowfied]

It'd be pretty cool if there was a pirate summit, maybe it occurs once every twenty years or something?

Like in PotC 3 =P

 

[Absolutio]

there's the pirate's town/island, called Pirates' Paradise or something like that, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Imperium]

well i think ace was just badly wounded (obviously the strawhats will be told that he died, and then after they beat up BB, he will come and go Voila im not dead)

It'd be pretty cool if there was a pirate summit, maybe it occurs once every twenty years or something?

i always thought that it was a island in the new world.... as for the paper that he gave luffy i though it was to show that he was connected with ace, so when their in the new world they wont be attacked by whitebeards crew

 

[Impel Down]

Well, there must be Pirate-centric islands, like Jaya or something around. There's a very good chance that "the summit" is just a large one.

 

[Imitorar]

I believe that the "Pirate's Summit" debate is an old one. I think that what happened was that Ace meant it as "the highest point a pirate can reach, when we've both become great", but the translators translated in in such a way that people thought it was an actual place. But it probably isn't. Places like Jaya are rare. Jaya was based off of Port Royal, and that was the only pirates only harbor, really. And in the New World, the pirates are all at war with each other, and even so, the World Government doesn't want pirates powerful enough to reach the New World to meet and ally with each other, as Impel Down pointed out. Though it would be cool for the Straw Hats to meet other pirates, if they do, it will probably be just one crew, not a bunch like at an official meeting of pirates.

 

[Imperium]

Thanks for clearing it up Imitorar, just goes to show what happens when people misunderstand translations

 

[Impel Down]

Right, so it's when they both become "great pirates"...although that isn't really an achievable time now, since Ace has been taken down. And Ace even said that he wanted to make WB king, so how could he be at the Summit of a pirate's power?

 

[kadodo]

Well, to tell u guys the truth, Oda never really killed anyone that the fans like. So I cannot say for sure if Ace is dead. It would add much more to the plot if he was dead though. That would make Luffy transform even more. However, I don't think that Ace can be dead cuz we still have to find out about the white paper he gave Luffy in Alabasta.

 

[Absolutio]

As I said before, I too don't think Ace is dead. Him, being alive, is just a wonderful plot source for many kinds of arcs, and as Kadodo said, there's also this piece of paper we know nothing of yet.

 

[matrice]

I hope that he survived, we have still to learn a lot about him. But I don't want Black Beard to be dead, either.
