Artist's commentary

first page of a comic with ace, sabo, luffy and uta as children. uta and ace are bickering about who broke something belonging to ace, then are interrupted by sabo butting in between and pushing their faces away from each other. he asks "now what's going on here" and is cut off by ace, yelling "sabo! she started it!" uta yells "did not! you're just saying that cuz you're dumb and... and..." she starts fake crying theatrically. "and because you HATE WOMEN!" to which sabo gasps with equal dramatics.

page 2. sabo says 'ace, come on. misogyny's not cool,' while he and uta shake their heads disappointedly. ace is drawn like shit, veins pulsating, eyes bulging and hands angrily clenched as he exclaims just the word "what." luffy comes in frame towards sabo and asks "ace is a misogynous?" to which sabo corrects "misogynist. and yeah, ace hates women." luffy immediately turns to ace and yells "ACE! THAT'S BAD!" and joins sabo and uta, all crossing their arms. ace continues to stare and starts silently trembling in anger. a line of text then reads 'soon, he ended up apologising' and ace is standing solemnly in defeat, disintegrating like sand, as he says "I'm sorry women." uta, sabo and luffy are in the background clapping, and uta replies "forgiven!" uta and sabo look accomplished, while luffy just looks happy to be there.
(asl+uta) she’s addicted to setting him up for failure
