I don't mind too much if WB dies, since his death is symbolic for the start of a new era which would keep the story moving and that makes sense.
but omg!!!! the thought of Ace dying so soon never crossed my mind. he was just rescued by Luffy moments ago. poor Luffy, having to watch that happen.
but my wish from last chapter did happen:

I hope that at the very least, Ace will reach to where WB is and have a final father/son moment before WB goes off.
