Portgas D. Ace is the user of the Mera-Mera no Mi. This allows him to turn his body into flames, neutralizing attacks that don't utilize Haki. He is also skilled at firing flames from his fingers like bullets, and by bringing his fingers together in the shape of a cross, he can create a cross of flames that burns his opponents to ashes. While he excels in battles that make the most of the powers of the Mera Mera no Mi, he is also strong in close combat and has high simple offensive power. Furthermore, he is the holder of the Conqueror's Haki, and can activate it when he is angry, knocking out many enemies.

First, let's introduce a character closely related to Portgas D. Ace: Monkey D. Luffy. Monkey D. Luffy is the user of the Gomu Gomu no Mi and serves as captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Luffy looks up to Ace as if he were a real brother, and when he heard that Ace had been captured by the Navy, he was the first to infiltrate the Navy's Impel Down to rescue him. After Ace's death, he was so shocked that he was driven to the brink of despair.

When Ace was captured by the Navy, he appeared at Marineford to retrieve him, but was killed by Blackbeard. A former user of the Gura Gura no Mi, he was also known as the strongest pirate.

The last charm of Ace is his dependability as Luffy's older brother. As the son of the Pirate King, Ace was originally hated by others as he grew up, and he didn't open up to anyone. However, since he started traveling with Luffy, he has grown into a great older brother, and his sense of responsibility has become apparent. Another charming aspect of Ace is his bravery, as he tries to learn how to speak to Luffy in case he does something wrong. When Luffy came to Marineford to help him, he worried about his younger brother more than himself, and when Luffy was really in trouble, he sacrificed himself.
