What If Luffy Managed To Saved Ace?! 

WHAT IF you subscribed?!

You'd think that letting Ace escape would be enough of an embarrassment to Sengoku for him to retire.

Ace would have a deadly crew in the time skip Masked Deuce Yamato Tama Jimbei Marco (highly likely) Vista, Izo & Jozu (likely) Various surviving WB pirates (possibly) Sabo would also still be extremely powerful with his Haki techniques so it isn't a loss for 'ol dragon claw CoS

It would have been interesting to see Ace become the flame emperor instead of Sabo. One way or another, Ace would have also returned to Wano to recruit Tama. My heart would melt seeing the three brothers reunite 😭

You could write marineford in many ways that let whitebeard die, bb getting his fruit, sabo gaining his memory, and the straw hats to train. Ace just gets very injured, more than Luffy as Rayleigh says Luffy that "you were lucky for ace, but you will not be for your crew. And I'll teach you" Sabo gets his memory back from seeing that Ace escapes execution, or the two encounter each other and the reunion happens. Ace goes his own way since pops dies, as he wants to become pirate king for him. Ace awakens his fruit to help Luffy in dressrosa, sabo gets a different powerful fruit(idk which, The Spade pirates are remade as deuce joins ace again, and at laugh tale the three brothers truly unite. Ace the sword was on laugh tale, as a gift for ace, Luffy becomes king of the pirates and Ace gets together with Yamato the end

I could also see Ace reviving the Spade pirates with Masked Deuce being his first mate.

I think Dadan would have been a more ideal sacrifice to push Luffy to get stronger. Imagine if Sabo showed up to Marineford, Ace escaped, & the reunited brothers went back to their home village to visit dadan. Maybe Akainu follows them back to finish them off then Dadan jumps in between them & her sacrifice inspires Luffy, Ace & Sabo to train under Rayleigh.

Damn i wanted to see ace and yamatos adventure on there pirate journey but now i can only imagine 💔💔

Then we don't have our beloved Donut.

if only I am good at drawing, I'll be happy to draw this what if manga.

Awesome vid. Makes me appreciate even more how no big event is wasted in OP, always having a rippling effect on the whole story.

I like how even tho like marineford was out 10 years ago ace still is in the top 20 favorite characters

Omg it was so well thought out. I disagree with a few points tho, like i think ace would leave the whitebeards to hunt fown info about bb and his plans

great video,my favorite scene from stampede is when sabo saves the strawhats in the end and we see him and ace.. i miss ace... yamato ,jimbe and ace would have made a new monster trio in one piece.. damn,now i got to go back and read special episode luff...

man the way you casually said fujitora's watching the fights in the Colosseum made me laugh

It's fun to speculate what would have happened if certain major events had gone differently. Ace surviving is a pretty big one to consider, and I'm certain it has been debated and speculated many times how Jimbei, Tama, and Yamato's relationships with Luffy would change slightly if Ace had been alive.

I love these what if videos

Morgan would immediately start hyping Ace up as "The Prince of Pirates" if he survived, kinda like how Luffy was dubbed "the fifth emperor"

1: luffy trains regarless of aces death cause he already got washed in sabody and marinefort, ace is likelly to also train under rayleigh or shanks for the matter (which if he would do so he would come out with RYUO minimum as he already knew all 3 basic haki aplications) 2: payback war likelly does not happen as the WB pirates would wait for ace to train and recognize him as the captain. 3: aces bounty would be alot higher than 1 bill he would be in the 2 bil Bellow BB, this is because coming out of the time skip as ROGERS SON and the captain of the WB pirates or spade pirates having under him WB fleet and comanders he would be recognized as the 5TH yonko simular to luffy after whole cake. 4: BB would be recognized as the official 4th yonko but would have to constantly have small scale battles with aces crew over teritory (full scale battle wont happen because of the 4 way dead lock explained in the ace novel which BB would understand the consequences off more than ace and shanks is likelly to be the one nagging at ace to not go after BB or having to interfere constantly). 5: wano happens only this time its a wash as both ace/luffy would come out of wano with awekening and COC. both named offical emperors with cross guild either having the inferior 5th yonko position/or official making 5 emperors. 6: weevil does not pick on the wb pirate fleet cause they are not separated and are united and theres also a chance ace befriens him and he joins as he wants to fight BB, jimbei/yamato also join ace. 7: BB would have to be masivelly upscalled (he gets a third zoan fruit and awekenes his other 2 fruits as well as his zoan fruit if he acually had one from the start, he also is offically revealed to have COC) this is how he destroys shanks in a fight forcing both Ace/luffy to team up and beat him. cross guild would arguably be stopped by zoro/sanji and the straw hat fleet while most of the wb pirates who have a score to settle will be the ones fighting BB crew. 8: kid/law meet the same fate as the normal story, sabo ends up with a top tier paramicia fruit to making a theme of every brother having a fruit from each class or ends up with kaidos dragon fruit if he is dead further developing his ryuosoken. 9: luffy met with shanks prior to his demise and returne the hat only to get it back in the fight with BB. 10: luffy becomes the PK as ace had no interest in the OP to begin with he just want to surpass roger (which he does in this time line), protect his familly and fight people against freedom. 11: the brothers unite in the final war against imu and in the end luffy/ace have one final fight as they promised to meet again at the top (this could also happen after the BB fight)

"What if ace did NOT get killed over a your dad joke?"

I love these what if and I think you should make more

What if Ace joined Luffy's crew cuz he already joined a crew earlier so he may also think of joining Luffy, same time thinking about protecting him

I think they might have added more admirals to deal with so many pirates.

Part of me thinks that Ace would likely stay away and do his things for a while up until he needed to train for the time skip, as for Jinbe i think Ace would say "Its up to you, old friend. Regardless of what you pick, we'll support you regardless. Straw hat or Spade you're still our endeared friend "

u deserve 150k subs

15:53 The 2 emotion shows joy and sadness. Joy Boy, and Sa D. Bo

My favourite video so far

I don't know but why i watched this at 12 am at night 😂

Then he would go on to defeat kaido and other big name pirates and luffy would never get his level up training from Rayleigh, and then Ace would be pirate king.

Honestly this make me soo sad. He's such an amazing character. Arcs with him could be soo cool. And him being at Wano would be even cooler. I don't think that he would fight big mom or king or queen because he had his own score with Kaido. He broke his statue and declare that he would come back and Kaido was very angry. Ace will definitely go straight to Kaido. And he would be stronger like Luffy because he's already was extremely strong and talented add to this training by I believe Shanks and he would waay stronger than Luffy. He would be called flame emperor after whether wci or after marineford because bb became yonko only to replace wb but Ace is WB's " replacement" it was mentioned a lot of times. Arca and moments with him would be so cool. + ASL Fights together Ace + Marco duo Ace + Yamato duo More Ace and Luffy perfect match ups Ace with strawhats Maybe even Ace with Shanks and Buggy😂 Oda whyyyy I understand why he killed him but he has such a potential for a story!!!

Personally don't think Jinbei would be the first mate since his actual first mate Deuce stayed on whitebeards crew. So Deuce would just become the first mate again

Bro now you made me feel like did survive and now im sad he didnt😢

I LOVE ACE!!!!!

Whats the music at the first part of the video?

This may be another one of your random thoughts but this is perfect! Who knew Ace surviving would’ve thrown every arc into chaos but then I have to ask… Does that mean Carrot for Strawhat is inevitable??

Headcanon accepted!

where i can read that special ep

Kaido to Yamato: ,,You have no Friends!" Ace: ,,Im right here Assh*le! FLAME EMPEROR!!!"

I actually believe that the Whitebeard pirates would seek to join Luffy after WB's order or keeping him alive. Creating the Mugiwara Grand fleet earlier and With stronger pirates, later the original Grand fleet could join aswell (Bartolomeo being the only one I am 100% sure that would join). The former WB pirates would put Luffy's flag on WB's territory to keep them safe and Ace would stay with Luffy during the 2 year training, both turning even stronger

I genuinely still think that marineford was necessary to happen. One reason is due to the fact that Ace HAS to die no matter what. Either die at marineford or die fighting against blackbeard (possibly final arc). It seems his life cannot be saved no matter what. As for Whitebeard, I had a feeling he was gna die in Marineford regardless and that will trump Ace to gather the rest of the WhiteBeard Pirates where they will have territorial war with the Blackbeard Pirates. This will in turn lead to the Whitebeard Pirates losing more and more of their territory throughout the 2 years. During that time, Luffy is forced to go with Rayleigh and not with Ace as Ace has a duty now to avenge his Captain while Luffy has to get his crew back. This will mean Luffy's training is still going to happen and will be the start of where Fishman Island and Dressrosa begins. So I do agree that this will align with the timeline you made. For Wano, however, instead of Kidd and Law vs. Big Mom, it will be Ace vs Big Mom (flame vs soul), Kidd and Law vs Queen and Jack (this fight actually makes sense because law is a medical doc vs queen's science and kidd's destruction vs Jack's destruction), and King vs Zoro (this won't change because Zoro is also a supernova and EoS WSS), Sanji vs page one or some fodder. Basically, everyone gets their power scaled down and Ace will eventually be killed by Blackbeard most likely during the next final arc.

What if ace after white beard disbanding the crew join luffy just would go the same but we will get to see a total of 13 members in the crew

i did a simulation if ace survived (pretty diff from ur storyline) and luffy figures out his imagination power bc of ace (SPOILER ALERT) seeing him make glasses which arent rubber at egghead

Well if Sakazuki & Kuzan never fought changing the landscape of Punk Hazard then maybe Caesar never set up his lab in order to hide, so then maybe Momo wouldn’t be able to eat Vegapunk’s dragon fruit or the children being saved but Oda could place them on Dressrosa

Yes because until post marineford luffy thought his crew was dead that’s also what played into his state he fell in when he saw ace die he truly thought he lost everything so I don’t think ace living would change his current strength because all the pain suffering and embarrassment he suffered from the last three arcs from sabody impel down and marineford he would’ve still understood they’re just not strong enough

When I see Otama waifu I was scared ☠️

If Ace survived the arc wouldn’t have been as memorable or beloved. Ace’s death was a massive shift for the story and very symbolic for the arc and core themes of One Piece. It was a repeat of past events, both pirates dying that represented an era with the help of a marine to open the door for the new era of pirates. Another theme echoed throughout One Piece is about convictions and living or dying for them, which is greatly reflected through Ace and Whitebeard. Both of them lived the best of their lives and achieved their true goals already, Ace wanting to validate his identity with his own freedom and protecting the one person who helped him find purpose of his own existence, Whitebeard making his family. They were the last relics of the Past and Roger, so they had to leave for that reason as well, regardless of people believing Luffy didn’t change much if not at all.

Watching the fights😆

Also the Emperor's would be (luffy) (shanks) (Blackbeard) and (ace) Possibly but because the warlords system hadn't be dissolved Buggy is not a Emperor

I like it

Watch the 30 second part, gold d roger 💀

My guess if luffy had a sprite who keep safe and get him powerful but has some weakness of water?

if ace and crew were a part of the raid.. Big Mom's crew wouldnt have been Nerfed to get knocked down the waterfall twice

Did you perhaps forgot, that if ace never died, Sabo would have never remembered his past? That would be the main reason why he isn't on dressorsa

❤

Ok I kinda just wanna put this down here, Luffy didn't start training because of Aces death, he was gonna straight go to Sabaody as we straight up saw but Rayleigh stopped him and suggested waiting

Kuzan could likely petition for the abolition of the warlord system as well as smoker was killed and he saw injustices and that could be the breaking point in between akainu and aokiji for their fight which would happen somewhere else because puck hazard was now known to be habitable

3:13 This is where I have major issues with. Sengoku is already in his retirement age at that point and The fact that he let Ace, son of Gol D. Roger escape would be a major backlash in his career, and the elders can't allow that so they will still want a new fleet admiral.

Could it be possible luffy imagines ace is alive would he come back to life?

if oda already had the story line for Ace surviving, why did he have to kill him 😭

What if luffy sometimes in the future gets the sword of Roger - ace? Then the three brothers would be together, every time Luffy and Sabo meet, since they will remember ace for ever and so he never dies.

I think Luffy eventually would ask someone from Wano or Wholecake that really helped to Join his crew to fill the missing spot of Jinbe

Watching the show I've got problems

bro nah what is that thumbnail tama is far younger than ace 💀💀

What if Kaido n king pulled out To Marineford..

You over did it with the edit sounds

The only thing I want to see is ace fighting for pirate King like the emperors are rn cause when ace said he will make whitebeard the king in alabasta, luffy said then we will fight.... And now I just can't see straw hats and revolutionary army having any issues that leads luffy vs sabo

If Ace didn't die luffy wouldn't have his red hawk attack because he covers his arm in fire as symbolism of flame fist ace so he would not get through many battles i am writing this around half way through the cideo so idk if she mentions this

alternate title: what IF Ace didnt go back to pick a fight with akainu at marineford?!

Can't believe I'm saying this but id Ace survive, Jimbei would not have been my favorite strawhat

If Luffy managed to save luffy ace could’ve became one of the strongest characters in the series he’ll probably even get to see sabo. Going to master all three types of haki and even awakening his fruit.

tehre is 1 posibility that ace joined luffys crew

Yea its very possible for him to *SEE* the fights 10:33

What is it with people using flames Turing into donuts

ace would have ended up just replacing buggy as a emperor because the warlords would have not disbanded during dressrosa.

basically Ace would have become emperor instead of Buggy d. Clown

u really do think that colosseum battle for flame fruit will happen? Ace didnt even die and doflamingo didnt found aces fruit.

1:37 a million 😑😑😑

Can you do a what if luffy died instead of ace?

its 5th gear in english

after whitebeard dies he would want luffy to become the king of pirates he would work under luffy

She said marinefurd

Marine food was so sad 😢

cannon event disrupted

Ace is such a idiot, he was technically saved by Luffy, he didin't have to jump infront of George Lopez's magma arm like that because he roasted his dad

If Ace was still alive, learned haki from Shanks, and awakened his devil fruit he'd definetly be greater than or equal to gear 5 Luffy.

nah wtf is that thumbnail

But he wouldn’t have taken jimbes place on fishmen island ace has the blood type s and luffy has f

otama is my fav waifu

So...Buggy D. Clown doesn't exist or nah?

I have a theory about one-piece ending: A user from Reddit that went viral from "Leaking" the ending said that the anime will end with a battle in the world between Luffy and BlackBeard. Luffy becomes the pirate king after defeating him. So in chapter 1064 Luffy talks akwardly strange about he had a dream and it ended with him becoming the pirate king. Is this a coincidence or is it ODA's foreshadowing. 😁（⊙ｏ⊙）(⊙_⊙)？

Instead of Lilin picking Sanji to be Puddings groom I think she would have selected Ace

Zoro gave luffy that big scar in his chest it just got a lil bigger after marineford

If ace didn’t die one piece is ending early cuz ace’s death was the catalyst for most of the shit that happened in one piece

Akainus not just gonna let ace or luffy escape however im guessing whitebeard sees akainu try to turn ace into a donut and then desides to batter the shit out of him just to save his family

Luffy x Nami at the end GGWP :P

Ace is just getting in luffy way

He would've made a better replacement for captain of WhiteBeard pirates

None of this would happen. What would’ve happened was Ace would become just like Marco. Marco retired because he wants the new generation to take over, so Ace would’ve done the same thing

Luffy x Nami at the end GGWP :)

The Japanese of *spoilers for ONE PIECE* Ace means literally death. That's why fans got sad because of Aces' death but didn't realize what the ace card was meant.
