About
Portgas D. Ace (ポートガス・D・エース - Pōtogasu D. Ēsu, Portgaz D. Trace in both English dubs) is Monkey D. Luffy's older brother who left Fūsha Village three years before Luffy did. He first appears in the Drum Kingdom, searching for Blackbeard and Luffy. He ate the fictional Devil Fruit Mera Mera no Mi (メラメラの実, Flare Flare Fruit in the English dub), granting him control over flames and the ability to transform his body into fire. It is due to this that he is given the title "Fire Fist Ace" (火拳のエース - Hiken no Ēsu, Trace Heat Fist in the dub.) Ace spends most of his appearances searching for the former Whitebeard pirate Marshall D. Teach, who killed one of his own crew mates. Ace finally confronts Teach on the island of Banaro, and the two engage in a furious battle. Despite his formidable abilities, Ace is defeated and imprisoned in Impel Down.
