I am also really scared of what will happen to Luffy as a character. There's a lot of ways he can go with this :(

I just hope it's one that treats the character in an interesting manner. Bad pun aside, Oda is sailing into new waters with this.

I haven't read One Piece in years, what happened?

Well uh

Ace died...

Spoilers, like, seriously REALLY EPIC ONES:

Bleackbeard captured Ace, got him shut into the worst prison in the world, Luffy gets separated from the crew but he decides to save Ace because the crew is safe-ish and Ace is due for execution because he's Gol D. Roger's son--

so there's a long arc where Luffy breaks into the prison, and then some bad stuff happens and he doesn't reach ace in time. So they're at Marines HQ and Ace is on an execution stand, then WHITEBEARD shows up with his crew and they JUST MANAGE to bust Ace out and everyone's retreating. And then one of the vice-admirals insults whitebeard, ace LOSES IT, gets careless, and gets PUNCHED THROUGH THE CHEST. And then he died.

Not sure where you left off, though.

To(try and)make a long story short:

Ruffy found out that his brother(Ace)had been sent to Impel Down, this really big impenetrable prison for pirates. Ruffy goes to save Ace.

Ruffy finds allies in prison. Big, epic fights ensue.

Ace is being sent to be executed earlier than planned. Ruffy and allies follows. Fights ensues.

Whitebeard(Ace's captain)comes to Ace's rescue. Big, MASSIVE epic fights ensues.

Akainu(one of the admirals)tries to kill Ruffy(after Ruffy's managed to free Ace from schackles). Akainus Lava Fist goes through Ace(apparently that's his one weakness? I dunno).

Marine Headquarters Falls, Ace dies(presumably). Ruffy is having a HBSOD.

Oh yeah, and Ace's real father is Gold Roger, and Ruffy and Ace aren't blood related.

Aaaaand there was a bunch of other stuff too, but that would take me all night to write down.

I don't think Oda is going to drastically change Ruffys(yes I spell his name with an R muahahaha)character, One Piece is at it's a core a very "light" series(with many heartbreaking moments, sure, but it's still a funny and on the idealistic side), and I don't think Oda is gonna take the series into grimdark territory, and make Ruffy into a cynical hardass or something. I trust Oda on this.

~~But who knows, maybe I'll turn out to be dead wrong and Ruffy goes Batman or something, I dunno~~

the expression does make me laugh (MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE PARODIES, YES) but I think that if Luffy had shed a single tear and looked pretty, I would've stopped reading OP. that panel is like, yeah, luffy is so BEYOND GRIEF that he went straight into a complete shutdown. Oda's gonna handle it as well as he's handled the rest of the series, I think, And I personally can't wait to see how it turns out.

BUT FUCK, I STILL WISH EVERYONE WAS ALRIGHT.

i'm scared and excited at the same time. this is a very, very new feeling in one piece and i want to see what oda does with it.

IAWTC

I think he usually does a good job with all the snotty bawling tbh

): d'awwwwww Luffy....

I was actually okay with the scene because A) I have always avoided the OP fandom, and B) it's a look of pure shock. It's not just Luffy being upset. He just shutdown because he can't fucking believe what just happened. Because things like that never happen in One Piece. At least, not outside of a flashback.

I'm pretty into OP fandom these days, but I've stayed away from most discussions on the most recent chapters as I've felt way too affected (mostly for Luffy's sake, though damn it if I didn't sob for Ace), and I just wasn't ready to take in calm, cool analysis or cynical snark or edgy "glad he died" posts.

Anyway, I agree with you. It's complete shock and total mental freeze, which feels the most IC plausible reaction from Luffy. It's not meant to look pretty.

I admittedly LOLed at one of the parodies, but I totally agree with the premise of this secret. Part of why so many people don't like Oda's stuff in the first place is it's not their pretty bishie glamour fest. That's how the series is. This moment was beautiful and hard hitting.

I don't think they're gonna make Luffy a different person though. He may have some angst and maybe become a little more wise, but I can't see his whole personality changing. I mean, he takes after Rodger, who's been through quite a bit of crap too, you know?

I lost a lot of my "save everybody" innocence when I lost a person close to me to cancer a few years back, and I had some hard times, but in the end I was still me. Luffy is Luffy too.

I thought it was weird that people found that expression funny. It completely broke my heart. :(

I thought the dude was stuffing a gigantic hamburger in his mouth until I read the text and looked again.

I think I'll have to disagree.

I'm scared too, anon, but if there's anything I've learned, it's have faith in Oda. I may not have loved everything he's done in the series but he has yet to disappoint me. And with something as important as this, I can't believe that he'll disappoint.

It is a pretty horrific face, though.

Goodness, that picture is... disturbing.

(Has never read One Piece, for the record.)

What I came here to say as well.

I agree. Even though One Piece has a cartoony style, and it's usually a light-hearted adventurous series, I find that Luffy's expression really emphasizes how serious this situation is. For some reason, in other series *coughCodeGeasscough* I wouldn't find this to be so dramatic, but...it's One Piece, ffs! Why are characters dying outside of flashbacks? Where's the awesome pirate adventures?!
But yeah, I'm kind of scared, too, about how things will go from this point. We'll just have to wait and see.

I don't actively watch/read One Piece, but seeing what Oda does with this will definitely be interesting. I expect Luffy might mature a little, but if this goes into dark territory considering what Oda has already established, it could get pretty strange/bad. I don't believe he will though since he's not fond of actively killing off characters.

I'm reminded of Romeo+Juliet (the shitty 90's version). I remember in grade 8, when Romeo died in Juliet's arms, she let out this really awkward-sounding sob. It drove me to tears while everyone else around me laughed at her.

I'm kind of scared where the series is going to go now too. Out of context the picture looks pretty lulzy, but in context... jesus.

After I read that chapter, I looked for parodies right away.

Not because I thought it was funny, but because it was such a heart-wrenching and eeeeuuuuuurgh type of feeling that I would have felt shitty all day if I hadn't desensitized myself to it through humor. :(
