Jimbei: Unghh......
Akainu: I suggest you put an end to your attempts to buy time, Jimbei. / As a former Shichibukai, you should be all too familiar with the power I wield...

Ace: ...Yeah... you know... if it weren't for the Sabo thing... and having a little brother like you to look out for... // ...I would never have... even... wanted to live...
[TN: I hate you, Oda. Okay, DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what "sabo no ken" refers to. "~no ken" is pretty much the vaguest structure ever, and I don't know whether "sabo" is a person's name, the name of a thing, or anything else that it could feasibly refer to (edict suggests that the word can be an abbreviation of "sabotage", or a type of shoes, and to be honest, I can't rule either of those out either).]
Flashback!People: If Gold Roger'd had a kid~? // Then he oughtta be executed!!!
Ace: Nobody else wanted me to, after all... // ...so it's only natural.........!
Flashback!People: Oh, I've got a good one! How about sticking one needle in his body... // ...for every person in the world with a grudge against Roger! // No, he should be burned at the stake...!! That way the whole world... / ...could watch and laugh as he went to his death!! // They'd all be saying the same thing, you know?! / "Serves you right!" Gyahahaha!
11
Flashback!People: I know what his last words should be, as well! / "I'm sorry for being born, piece of trash that I am!" // Ah, well. Not like he really exists. // .........
Flashback!Dadan: Ace!!! You've been causing trouble in the town again!!!
Flashback!Ace: Shut up!! If I was stronger, I would've killed the lot of them!!
Flashback!Dadan: What did you say~~?!!
Ace: ......... // ......Oh, yeah... if you ever... happen to run across Dadan... / Could you tell him goodbye from me...? It's weird...
Luffy: ..................
Ace: Now that I'm about to die... I even feel like I miss that idiot...
Luffy: ...............!!!
Ace: I have just...... one regret... / That I won't be able to see... your dream come to pass...... / *pant* // ...But I know you. / You'll pull it off for sure......!!! // You're my brother, after all......!!!
12-13
Ace: ...Just like... we promised back then... / I have no regrets... about how I lived my life...!!
Luffy: .........No!! You're lying!!
Ace: *pant*... *pant*... No, it's true......!! // ...It looks like what I really wanted in the end... // ...wasn't fame or renown at all... // ...It was an answer to the question...
Luffy: !
Ace: ...of whether I should have... been born. // ......*pant*... My voice... is getting too quiet... / ......Luffy, I want you to listen to what I say now...... / ...and tell it to the guys... afterwards...
Luffy: ......
Ace: .........!! Old man.........!!! // All you guys......!!! // And... // ...Luffy......
Luffy: !
Flashback!Ace: Get out here! I'm here to take the head... / ...of Whitebeard!!
Whitebeard: ...............!!
Ace: Even though I've been good for nothing my whole life...
Marco: *pant*...... *pant*...
Ace: Even though I carry the blood of a demon within me......!!
Flashback!People: Ace~~~~~! We're gonna save you, no matter what! // Don't you dare give up~~~~~!!

Marines: !!! // Ace......!!
Luffy: !

Flashback!Ace: Gramps... do you think...
Luffy: Ace......?
Flashback!Ace: ...I should really... // ...have been born...?
Flashback!Ace: What, did you think I was dead?
17
Flashback!Luffy: I......!!
Flashback!Ace: What're you crying for?!! / Don't act like people are dead when they're not, dummy!! // I'm not gonna die, no matter what!! That's a promise!! / Like hell I could die and leave my weak little brother all on his own!
Flashback!Rouge: If it's a boy... "Ace"... // Gol D Ace... the name of our child...
