ACE’S
LIFE AND BACKGROUND :
Portgas D. Rouge, Ace's mother, had to conceal him inside
her body for twenty months, nearly twice the usual duration of pregnancy. Ace's
tragic story starts with a sacrifice before the Pirate Prince ever takes his
first breath, resulting in the death of his mother. Just before passing away,
Rouge gave him the name Gol D. Ace. However, Ace, grateful to his mother
for her sacrifice, chose to take her name instead. It has been revealed that Ace's father was
the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, contrary to the previous belief that his
father was Monkey D. Dragon. Before Ace was born, Roger requested Garp to
watch over him on his behalf. However, Ace felt that he did not owe him
anything, which is why he preferred the name of his mother, who died protecting
him. Although Ace resented his father, he brutally beat up anyone who spoke ill
of him.
Ace began to feel like he had a purpose in this world after
meeting Sabo and Luffy. Growing up together and spending time with each other,
the three became sworn brothers. As a result of Sabo's death, Ace is deprived
of one of his brothers without his knowledge.

Flame Fruit, it bestows Ace to be able to gain control and manipulate fire,
create fire and even become fire. He can reconstruct his body from fire, create
solid projectiles like fire, cancel out ice-based attacks and smoke attacks and

HOW
DID ACE DIE?
Teach was in Ace's division when Blackbeard decided to
punish him. While Ace had no clue who Teach was or what his intentions were,
Teach was completely unknown to Ace. Teach put Ace to the sword and turned him
over to the Marines. The Marineford War became one of One Piece's most legendary
arcs as a result. Marines, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp, Whitebeard and
Shichibukai were all present and active during this battle. Ultimately, the
pirates released Ace. In order to save Luffy from Admiral Akainu, however, he
gave his life in place of Luffy. As a result of Ace's death, One Piece fans
were shocked to the core. One Piece does not have a reputation for killing off
characters, so this was a huge surprise.
