Luffy, Curly Dadan, townspeople, Whitebeard, Whitebeard Pirates ### Summary Page 15: Ace's memories continue with people saying, "I hope these are his last words!" and mocking, "I'm so sorry that a piece of trash like me was born." Young Ace snaps, "Shut up!! If I was strong enough, I would have killed them all!!" He remembers being asked, "Ace!!! Did you cause trouble in town again!?" In the present, Ace tells Luffy, "Oh yeah... When you see Dadan again... Tell her thanks... Now that I'm about to die... I even kinda miss her..." His one regret is that he could not see Luffy achieve his dream, but he says, "But I'm sure you'll do it... You're my brother after all...!!" Page 16: Ace says, "Just like... we swore... I've lived... with no regrets!!" Luffy cries, "No!! You liar!!" but Ace answers, "Haa... It's not a lie..." He explains, "The thing I really wanted... wasn't fame or anything. What I really wanted... was to know... that it was okay for me to be born..." Ace says he cannot talk much longer and asks Luffy to tell everyone else. Across the page, memories of people calling him worthless and others trying to save him surround his final message to "Old man," "Everyone," and "Luffy."
