Ace D. Portgas

Height: 185 cm 61 Devil Fruit: Mera Mera no Mi Flame Flame Fruit Devil Fruit Type: Logia Bounty: 550000000 One of the most obvious features on Ace is his tattoos. Aces back tattoo is left intact in the English version of the dub despite 4Kids previous edits to crosses. At the same time Ace also promotes his tattoo to Luffy something which is truly considered odd by 4Kids standards. Ace has a tattoo on his back of the Whitebeard symbol a skull with a white mustache and a manji behind it. To avoid confusion between the two symbols and avoid slander for being a nazi this was changed to crossbones in the shape of a cross in the anime as well as in the most recent chapter of the manga. Ace has another tattoo on his left arm by the shoulder: it reads ASCE with the S crossed out. In the English version of the anime Aces shoulder tattoo signifying his name is edited out as he is referred to there as Portgaz D. Trace. He appears in One Piece Grand Adventure once again without the tattoo on his arm. Ace travels around the Grand Line on his boat which is constructed so his Mera Mera no Mi fuels the engine on the rear end allowing it to move. Currently Ace is one of the two known pirates to ever escape arrest by the Marine captain Smoker the other escapee being Aces younger brother Luffy. Ace and Smoker fought to a standstill in Alabasta. He left Fuusha Village three years before Luffy and he is a loyal crewman and commands the Second Division of Whitebeard his captain. In appearance the two brothers are obviously related despite the fact that Ace is more muscular than the rather lanky Luffy. He also sports rather childish freckles. He is apparently narcoleptic a trait common amongst Aces family and therefore falls asleep on random occasions making people wonder if he has dropped dead. As far as personality goes Ace is much more intelligent polite and generally more bearable than his younger brother which prompts the Straw Hat crew to question whether he is truly related to their bumbling captain. However the brothers themselves are very close Ace portraying typical goodbigbrother behaviors such as asking the crew to keep an eye on his little brother.
