One Piece: Luffy's Plan to Save Ace

Years later, the Straw Hat Pirates reach the end of the Grand Line and find the treasure at Laugh Tale. Every crew member fulfills their dream.

Luffy becomes the Pirate King.

Zoro becomes the world's greatest swordsman.

Sanji finds the All Blue.

Usopp becomes the bravest and greatest warrior of the sea.

But Luffy still has one regret.

Ace, who died before his eyes.

In his old age, Luffy contracts the same incurable disease as Roger.

So, using the awakened powers of the Warp-Warp Fruit, he decides to return to the past and save Ace.

Only, once he leaves, he can never come back.

Does anyone still remember the moment Luffy burned the Going Merry?

I've been following the anime for seven years, and there's another scene that made me burst into tears: Ace collapsing in Luffy's arms.
