Do you agree?

Luffy was 100% right not to go chasing after Ace at the time Zoro was talking about.

At that point the crew had no idea that Ace had fought Blackbeard, that he’d been handed to the Marines or that he’d been sentenced to death. All they knew was that Ace’s Vivre Card was fucked up, which meant that somewhere in the world something had happened to Ace that put his life in danger.

It was after, in Amazon Lily when Luffy had actual information, that he decided to go after Ace.

So yeah, I do see the similarities in the two situations.

You could see how badly Luffy wanted to go there. But he let it be, simply because of Ace's pride (and strength) apparently.

Vivi and Ace have nothing to do with each other, different circumstances, different characters, and Ace ended up a donut anyway. Oda was making a call back but pointless in the end.
Indeed, he shouldn't have mentioned it at all.

Luffy has expressed emotions over Ace frequently, anger towards BB, sadness to Sabo, being keen on not letting anyone lay a hand on Ace's fruit etc.

And now, when he's reminded of letting Ace have his own adventure (which got him in major trouble) and hesitating to save him, Luffy reacts the same towards Vivi who is even more fragile.

It ended poorly because of Ace's decision not Luffy's decision to not go after Ace immediately because of the vivre card
You don't know that though. Oda postponed it to that point specifically to kill Ace dramatically. If Oda wanted Ace saved, Luffy could have gone right away and not be up against a whole Marine army.

We do know that because that is what happened. If he went after Ace, whether Ace was with Blackbeard or Impel Down, Luffy would still fail. He only had the chance of rescue because of the war. Especially knowing that they did not know where Ace was except for where the vivre card points

If Vivi dies, there is blood on Zoro's hands and his character cannot recover from that.

I guess that is where Oda ia taking the story. Oda is teaching Luffy a lesson about not following his gut.
you really think vivi going to die?

even if she dies, what are they supposed to do? They don't know where she is nor have any information about her.

And if there is blood on zoro hands then I guess Luffy's whole body would be cover with blood since he is the captain and it was ultimately his decision and all :milaugh::milaugh:


Anyway, we all know that they will surely go to help vivi if they know where she is and if she is in danger.

:pepeke: no one relevant will die, sadly. And so it's of no consequence if they don't even investigate at this point

What do you think happens when the shs go to mariegeoise now?
You think they'll rescue Vivi and go home??

They DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE IS
Did you expect them to randomly find Bonney inside a water vortex in the middle of the ocean with no context at all?
No.
Yet, here we are.

I expect Oda to drop some clue for them if they try to investigate it.
Robin, Sanji and Luffy have ties to the Revo Army.
It's not a stretch for Oda say that Robin knows a way to contact them. They could try ask Sabo.
Then it would have them learn about Sabo disappearance after revealing someone at the throne room.

Boom.
Plot hook right there.

Not rocket science.

Wouldn't that make any discussion moot since everyone can claim, "Oda could've done xyz". We are discussing with what we have, and that is Luffy was weaker than Blackbeard and weaker than Magellan
Luffy escaped Impel Down just fine though. It would have been no different with Ace together. So Magellan doesn't count as an issue there

People acting like they would just barge in mariejoi lol there’s plenty of ways they could gather information on her whereabouts, and even just sneak into mariejoe without needing to cause ruckus

this is definitely a bad take from zoro, Ace was a strong pirate vivi isn’t, her father got murdered and luffy’s brother is the suspect all they should know is that she’s in danger ffs

If you say Ace died because of Luffy that's fucking dumb because Luffy literally saved him. If Ace didn't let himself get trolled by Akainu then he wouldn't have even been in the position to get it because of the paper, nor would Luffy. In fact, you could say that Ace trying to fight Akainu almost got LUFFY killed, not the other way around.

> Oda wanted Zoro to have his vc moment.
> He wrote in that piece of dialogue (which Luffy acknowledges, hence why the "you got me!" face.)
> The dialogue is retarded for some weird call back moment, even though characters in verse pretend its not.

The only conclusion you can draw from this is that Oda is retarded, which most of us already know. He sees Zoro as VC, that much is undeniable.
