One Piece: Ace's Story, Vol. 1: Formation of the Spade Pirates by Sho Hinata

sooo I'm not rating this one because the writing is likely aimed at children

.... not really a story I'd recommend.
There's not much plot- and what little there was was cheesy/annoying and predictable. I really hated how they wrote the Marine hunting him as some annoying and stupid girl.
Other then seeing Ace get his devil fruit (anticlimactic) and learning the names of the spade pirates (including the cutest lynx!) this doesn't add much to Ace's story.


I did like seeing him as a captain!
I loved how he was compared to the sun (because he is the sweetest boy who deserves the world!!!!)
Those few moments of him having self-doubt, wondering if he should even be alive, and if he is worthy of love (HE IS!!!) were nice additions :)
