One Piece: Ace's Story, Vol. 2: New World by Tatsuya Hamazaki

5.0

I'm not crying you're crying! MY BOY FOUND A PLACE TO BELONG!!!!

Vol 1 of these light novels I was tempted to call pointless trash so I was very hesitant going into vol 2.... my god the difference. They completely understood Ace's character, his aspirations, his struggles, and how lost this sweet boy was.

Is the writing and plot masterful, no. but I feel like I've learned something about Ace's character and his relationship with the Whitebeard pirates. Seeing him come to terms with sailing under the Whitebeard flag and calling him 'pops'.... oh my actual heart!!!
