Why are you unwilling to escape when you encounter such a powerful enemy? That's because there are loved ones behind you. ——Fire Fist Ace. This sentence is Ace's most classic sentence. This is also a sentence that he has followed throughout his life. There are not many important people in Ace's life. It was just Luffy and Sabo, who he thought was dead. The other one is Whitebeard. And when Ace said this, he did exactly that. For Akainu insulting Whitebeard, Ace could have escaped with his life. He chose to turn back, not for anything else, but to prove that his father was not who Akainu said. Ace can tolerate being insulted by others. When others said he was the son of the devil, he bowed his head and admitted with shame that he was indeed the son of the devil. And he kept saying to the people around him, why do you still love me so much when you are like this? But Ace couldn't tolerate others insulting his closest relatives. So when I knew I couldn't beat Akainu, I turned around and fought him hard. As a result, because the fruit's abilities were incompatible, he was injured in one move. At this time, Akainu went to hurt another close relative in his life, Luffy. At this time, Ace was powerless to change anything. Because he really doesn't have the ability to defeat Akainu. But he still rushed forward resolutely and blocked Luffy's fatal blow. He also paid for it with his life. If there is one most touching scene in One Piece, it is the scene where Ace blocks Akainu with his body. And Ace also proved what he said with his own life. Because there is someone behind him to protect, he cannot take a step back even if the enemy becomes stronger. And today, why are we so tired and still struggling? Isn’t it because there are people behind us who we want to protect?
