Portgas D. Ace (ポ ー ト ガ ス · D · エ ー ス, Pōtogasu D. Ēsu, known in the Anglo-Saxon dub as Portgaz D. Ace or Portgaz D. Trace) was a secondary character in the manga and anime One Piece, created by the mangaka Eiichiro Oda . He was the son of His Father Gol D. Roger and his Mother Portgas D. Rouge was the older half brother of Monkey D. Luffy and Sabo. He was adopted by Monkey D. Garp, because of a desire of His father before dying. He was the commander of the second division of the Shirohige Pirates and also at some point, captain of the pirates Spade. He was captured by the Navy and killed by Admiral Aikanu while trying to protect his brother Luffy. Over his head weighed a reward of 550 million berries, the fifth highest seen in the series so far (the first is Jack with a thousand and the second Charlotte Cracker with 860,000.). Like Luffy, he tasted a Devil Fruit but of the Lodge type, the Mera Mera no Mi, which gave him the ability to manipulate and generate fire. Ace was chasing to kill Blackbeard, a former member of his alliance who left it after killing the commander of the Fourth Division, Thatch, to steal the Devil Fruit Yami-Yami no Mi he had found. When they found him, a fight between the two of them began. The winner was Blackbeard (whose real name is Marshall D. Teach). For this reason he captured Ace giving him to the Navy to get the title of "Shichibukai."
