Has Oda really brought back Ace to the story out of nowhere, without any foreshadowing, just to have such an insignificant role as to deepen the bond between luffy and tama? i always believe there will be something more of it... it's just not oda's style to bring back dead characters without any solid purpose, and besides, it's the very first arc that is related with time-travel thing, so at this point, anything could happen right? what do u guys think?
