15 Years Ago, One Piece Aired Its Saddest Episode Ever

Portgas D. Ace was Luffy’s older brother and a prominent member of the Whitebeard Pirates, a famous crew. He and Luffy, along with their friend Sabo, spent their childhood in Foosha Village. Ace began his pirate journey two years before Luffy. He first appears during the Drum Island arc while searching for Luffy, and they eventually reunite in the Alabasta arc. His unique personality quickly made him a fan favorite. After the events of Alabasta, Ace doesn’t appear often, but we later see him pursuing Blackbeard.
