Portgas D., Ace

ポートガス・D・エース

One of Ace's most prominent features is his tattoos. In the English dub, Ace's back tattoo remains unchanged, despite 4Kids' prior edits to crosses. Simultaneously, Ace shows off his tattoo to Luffy, an action that seems genuinely odd by 4Kids standards. Ace bears a tattoo of the Whitebeard symbol on his back: a skull with a white mustache and a manji behind it. To prevent confusion between the two symbols and to avoid accusations of Nazism, this was altered to crossbones shaped like a "cross" in the anime, as well as in the latest manga chapter.
Ace has another tattoo on his left shoulder: it reads "ASCE," with the "S" (apparently a mistake by the tattoo artist, or, alternatively, the symbol that appeared on the flag of his former crew

) crossed out. In the English anime version, Ace's shoulder tattoo indicating 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 the Grand Line on his boat, which is constructed so that his Mera Mera no Mi fuels the engine at the rear, allowing it to move.
Currently, Ace is one of only two known pirates to have escaped arrest by Marine Captain Smoker, the other being Ace's 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 who 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 Ace's 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 good-big-brother behaviors such as asking the crew to keep an eye on his little brother.
It is revealed that Ace had a bounty of 550,000,000 in the One Piece Ten exhibition.
