One Piece Fan Goes Viral for Hosting a Bloody Marineford Birthday

As a seasoned One Piece fanatic who’s seen countless anime episodes and read volumes of manga, I can confidently say that the emotional rollercoaster ride this series provides is unparalleled. The heart-wrenching scene of Ace’s demise still echoes in my memory, a stark reminder of the profound impact a fictional character can have on one’s life.

One Piece, a beloved anime and manga series by Eiichiro Oda, is currently in its final saga, setting the stage for an epic conclusion. This significant moment has sparked fans to reminisce about the incredible journey of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hats crew since they embarked on their adventure. Among these nostalgic moments, one fan’s birthday cake has gained viral attention, featuring a heart-wrenching scene from the franchise that will undoubtedly tug at your heartstrings!

The pivotal moment that significantly shaped the franchise occurred just before the time jump when Luffy faced his toughest physical and emotional battle to save his brother, Portgas D. Ace, from execution at Marineford. This event sparked a huge war with ripples felt throughout the series even now, and it remains one of Luffy’s most painful losses. Recently, charrita_peruana on TikTok shared a heart-wrenching video that went viral among fans, celebrating their birthday with an Ace cake featuring a large hole through his chest. Take a look to understand why it’s garnered so much attention.

One Piece: Ace Dies

The death of Ace by Akainu significantly altered One Piece, leaving Luffy mentally devastated but eventually leading him to regroup and determine his next steps. This shift occurred following numerous changes prior to the New World saga. It all started when Luffy was separated from his Straw Hat crew during the disastrous landing on Sabaody, followed by Luffy’s relentless journey through Impel Down prison just to reach Marineford.

Luffy pushed himself to the limit, forming a chain of efforts, all in an attempt to save Ace. However, when he couldn’t succeed, it came close to shattering him. Yet, in his defeat, Luffy found time to reflect on his weaknesses in power and resilience. For the first genuine instance in the series, Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats made a decision to train individually for two years, preparing for the powerful adversaries they would face in the future. So far, this training has been proving fruitful.

One Piece: Why Ace Is Still Important

Despite Ace no longer being physically present in the series “One Piece,” its creator Eiichiro Oda subtly emphasizes his continued significance by incorporating him into smaller scenes. For instance, we’ve glimpsed fragments of Ace’s escapades in Wano and some of his pre-death activities, making it evident that even beyond the physical realm, he wields considerable influence over both Luffy and Sabo. Although Ace’s tragic demise struck a chord with fans, it ultimately served as a catalyst propelling Luffy to the level he currently holds.

In both the anime and manga, Luffy has reached new heights of power than he ever expected to and even awakened his Devil Fruit to a new level. He’s become an Emperor of the Sea, and will likely be the King of the Pirates before the series comes to an end. It all really started here as Luffy wanted to make sure that he never goes through another devastating loss like that again. It made for a much different kind of Luffy, and now fans can look back on this moment ironically knowing it all eventually worked out for him.
