i fcking knew it. i read this years ago and remembered how much this manga fcking beat me like a bitch. i cried so hard i almost popped a vein. i thought because it has been so long i wouldnt cry anymore. nope. no no no. still cried like a bitch. fck this manga. i love it.
An absolute masterpiece! I remember I read it back when starting watching ONE PIECE after the arc of ACE's death, and I cried all over again. It is so sad to see an introspect perspective (weather not official or fanmade) of him. So sad, yet so beautiful, because the art and the story is so well done and detailed! Doesn't even need the catch of the 'romance' between Marco and Ace.
Of course, as a masochist, I re-read it too many times.
