I have decided that I will not consider Ace to be truly, completely, irrevocably dead until there is a party and he is not in attendance.

I just can't tell if this makes me delusional, or cynical after the Pell thing (I was happy he survived! I just... stopped believing people actually died in One Piece. Except in flashbacks.), or just really really hopeful. O_o

I used to laugh at the fans who insisted "So-and-so is not dead! He's just... hiding. Under the table.... On his aunt's farm in New Zealand."

So. In the interests of doing this thoroughly:

-Ace isn't dead, he's just having a long-delayed fit of narcolepsy.

-His Vivre Card isn't gone, it's just really really small!

-He's only mostly dead.

-That wasn't blood on Luffy's hands, it was tomato juice.

-Ace didn't die, Whitebeard didn't get half his face burned off, and Luffy didn't fail: all of Impel Down and Marinford was just a shroom-induced hallucination. Luffy's still on Kuja.

Finally: I am mourning a mustache.

Oda, I would like my sanity back now. Thank you. jk, it's totally yours, only - make things gleeful again, okay?

Oh what the hell. I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES *CLAPS*

I was browsing a Japanese fangirl blog, where she had written a lot of thought-out reasons why Ace shouldn't be really dead, and this one struck me, because I hadn't considered it before...

The title of chapter 574 is "The death of Portgas D Ace".
What is the last thing we hear in that chapter? It's the flashback to Rouge, saying "His name is Gol D Ace."

...looking at it that way, it almost seems like the death of Portgas D Ace isn't necessarily the death of Gol D Ace, because Portgas isn't his real name! (I'm not sure if I'm picturing something like

naye's fic or something completely different, but. Food for thought! :D)

Thinking about it some more, I made it into a post. Because I like the idea so much. ^_^
