After dying at Marineford Ace is thrust twenty-something years into the past where he meets Gold Roger. Things couldn't get worse. Oh wait: he's stuck on the Oro Jackson. Great.

My little boy become the Grinch in my mind. The tale with the shrinking heart I heard as a kid, the story of the sad lonely monster. Ace, all along through his life had his heart swelling, shrinking, almost disappearing and then, all of a sudden, I was worried it was too big to even fit his body anymore.
