Ehhh,pretty much 😭

Rereading Marineford kind of takes the emotional impact out of it for me for the dumbest reason. Like that lower panel in the second page shows Akainu is legit surprised that Ace took such low-effort bait and just went "I know some of my loved ones have died so I can escape but this man talked shit about my dad"

Like I'm imagining Akainu having an after-work drink during the timeskip and he's just chuckling about it with some of his colleagues. "So then, get this, the fucker actually turned around, KNOWING he couldn't defeat me, all because of some shit-talking and banter. I still can't believe it, fisting that kid's chest was the easiest promotion I've ever gotten"
