Luffy probably: *jovial* I should be dead, but I'm not.

Sabo: *amused and bemused* Everyone thought I was dead, I did too. But I'm not.

Ace: *surprised/relieved* I'm not dead!

*panicked* I'm going to die!!

*fucked* I am dead!!

Ace & Luffy and Greek Tragedy

Ace and the Marineford summit war is essentially a retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice where Ace is somehow both Orpheus and Eurydice.

Like don't get me wrong Luffy is very Orpheus coded

Like of course Luffy was going to descend into Empel down, a place where no one is ever supposed to come back from, to save his brother just as Orpheus descended into Hades to save his lover (Empel down is also literally underground as well). Of course, his love for his brother is so strong and his cause so moving he can't help but rally the world; friend and foe alike, around him. And of course before the eyes of gods and men, he gets Ace back, of course he does! his love for his brother can and has shaken the world.

But Ace has a bit of his tragedy too.

Because just like Orpheus, no matter how much you yell at him to keep going or get frustrated with the perceived stupidity of the choice, Ace was always going to look back, of course he was! How could he not? everything he loved was behind him.

And they'll tell the story a million times a million different ways but no one can deny that love was there. Love was there, and it wasn't enough to save Eurydice then and it won't be enough to save Ace now but it was there and to them that was enough, this proof that they have loved and been loved in turn is enough.

Orpheus and Luffy will carry this love turned anger turned grief everywhere they go, to the ends of the world and back again, they will never outgrow it. But one day they might find poeace in it, one day it will be enough for them too, this knowledge that they loved and they loved well.

Love can not save any of these characters from their fates but i can offer them comfort there at the end and give them courage to face it.

And isn't that proof enough?

Thinking thinking about how each of the ASL brothers had such a simple thank you for the others that held so much weight

Luffy thanking Ace and Sabo for saving him from the blue jam pirates, never having doubts in them helping him regardless of how they treated him. Them not understanding why he didn't rat them out to save his own skin and Luffy simply stating that they're friends.

Ace thanking Luffy for loving him after getting in the middle of a fatal attack aimed at him. Finally getting to recognize the love that surrounded him after so long, something that Ace was never able to see up until he was on deaths door for the crime of being alive. Getting to tell the person he swore to live for thank you as his last words.

Sabo meeting his little brother for the first time in twelve years after getting ripped away from him. Luffy essentially breaking down for the first time in two years with someone he thought he lost and apologizing for not being able to save their older brother. Apologizing for being too weak to get him out of the cluster fuck that was Marineford and having him die right in front of him. Luffy bearing his regrets out just for Sabo to thank him for being alive. Like, yes, our brother is gone and that devastated us both. We might never fully heal from the loss but at least you made it out alive and thats all that matters. Telling him that loosing his two brothers without being able to do anything and ending up alone would be the end of the world for him. Thanking him for SURVIVING the hell he went through.

Gosh I'm unwell
