## One Piece Chapter 574, pages 19-20: The Death of Portgas D. Ace - Chapter: 574 - Pages: 19-20 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, Portgas D. Rouge, Gol D. Roger ### Summary Page 19: Luffy's memories answer the death in front of him. Ace once snapped, "What're you crying for!? Don't go killing me off, idiot!!" and promised, "I will never die!! I can't die and leave a weakling brother like you behind!" Another memory states, "If it's a boy... Ace... His name is Gol D. Ace." In the present, Luffy screams over Ace's body, blood spreading under them, while the promise that Ace would never die collapses before him. Page 20: A nearly blank white page leaves Luffy and Ace tiny in the lower corner. Luffy kneels in silence, still holding Ace's burned body against him after the final words and the memories of their promise. There is no dialogue on the page, only the visual aftermath: the battlefield noise has fallen away for the reader, and the empty space emphasizes the weight of Ace's death and Luffy's shock.
