Also luffy could take on WB and get his ass kick just like ace did ,which it seem he get his ass kick alot even when he try to kill WB in his sleep. Ace get his name fast because of his logia . If luffy had logia the marines would have been even worst off. |

^Are you really trying to say that Ace didn't rise as quickly as he did because of his devil fruit? Because one of the marines specifically mentions the fact that Ace was a rookie that had a powerful devil fruit...
That ebign said, why are you even trying to compare Ace and Luffy? They ahve two different stories and two different journeys. Ace has always been trying to escape the shadow of his real father, even going so far as to try and make his father's rival into the next Pirate King; whereas Luffy has never once cared about the past, only seeking to achieve his dreams. Consequently, the route they have taken has been vastly different, with wildly diverging present conclusions. |

The man excels in basic battle ability as well...!!! Heck Ace was able to whip Luffy's a$$ many times before he got his DF, so I don't want to here excuses like "Ace only got that far cuz of his logia DF." |

Do you really think someone with sea stone is going to be able to get near a logia user so easy. I never said it was nothing but his DF but you said ace track record shit all over luffy , which i said he would had it easier than luffy since he was a logia user. Do think ace would gotten so far so fast if was not for his DF hell the reason the marines notice him was because of it . Luffy DF give him a edge but is nothing compare to a logia user . Would luffy has gotten so far without his DF maybe not but they same could be said for ace. Last edited by andy; 2009-07-29 at 16:55. |

^Uhm, no one, or at least not I, said that Ace only got as far as he did because of his Logia. Rather, if you will read my statement again, I said he rose as quickly as he did because of his Devil Fruit. He could have still gotten where he did without a DF, but having one merely cut down on the time it took to get to the top. The same is true of Luffy - he has a fruit that makes him nearly impervious to physical damage, and since most damage on the grand line is via physical attacks, Luffy was able to rise quite quickly.
That being said, where in the spoiler does it say that Ace was at the New World in under 3-4 months (which is about the time it took Luffy to get to the Red Line...and then the war happened). For all we know, Luffy has almost the exact same track record as Ace, or Luffy could have an even better track record, or Ace could have a marginally better track record. Any of those options are possible, but, in the end, they are ultimately irrelevent, as I already said, considering the differences in the Journey that Ace and Luffy had. There is no point in comparing Ace in Luffy to each other. |

If that was the case one hit Blackbeard should have ended Ace......Super Sonic would have never stated what he stated if what you say is true.

Yeah, I think Oda made it pretty clear that Ace's strength didn't just come from his fruit. Recall that Luffy said that he could never beat Ace in a fight when they grew up together in East Blue (and Luffy already had HIS DF power when the two of them first met). Plus, Van Auger commented during during Ace's fight with Blackbeard that he already had superb fighting abilities outside of his DF power. Still, the fact that Ace got himself smacked around by Whitebeard (and later on, Blackbeard) definitely proves that he's still pretty wet behind the ears......
Oh, and Ace's crew did end up joining with Whitebeard after all. It's confirmed in the flashback by Thatch (the 4th commander, remember). I wonder if any of THOSE guys ended up becoming a commander themselves....? |

Then james0246 said it would be faster for ace to get to top cause he had a logia . You said nope which you were wrong . Then you start talking about ace would kick moria ass along with croc and was offered spot as warlord . I said because he was logai user he would kick there ass.I also said he get to the top fast because of his logia (should have said faster ) and again you said nope.. Then spoiler came out that because he was logia user and a D the marines notice him. If you think ace did not get to the top faster because of his DF you are kidding your self. Which come back to me saying what makes Ace track record better than luffy. Hell ace should have a better track record than luffy he is a logia user. Luffy got this far because of his DF , it's the same with ace because he logia user it would have been easier for him that is all i am saying . Last edited by andy; 2009-07-29 at 17:23. |

So ace fought WB get his ass kick , fight with a warlord look like it was a tied , and was offer to be a warlord because of his logia and being a D.
Shit over someone who has beating 2 warlords , taken down 2 of the marines great strong holds ,punch some that should never be touch . Had the marines send another warlord to kill him when he was fighting one. Then send 2 px plus the head of the vegapunk guards plus a admirals where he get his ass kick. So ace has the better track record okay if you say so . |

I still think it's unnecessary to compare Luffy to Ace. They're just too different. Besides, they don't really have any rivalries anyhow, so it doesn't really matter what trials they've faced in the past.....
However, I don't think Ace ever got blasted off to an amazon island by a Shichibukai, so Luffy>big bro in my book. |

So far, there is no canoncial indication that Ace has a better track record Luffy, or anything along those lines. Ace being stronger does not mean he conquered the Grand Line more quickly than Luffy has, it simply means he might have had an easier time in doing so.
In the end, there is simply no reason to compare the two people. Their roads are too different from each other, and their strengths and weaknesses are to diverse for them to be really comparable in how they got where they are. |

If you read the spoilers you would see that the marines wanted to know where ace came from since he was a rookie. Sengoku saw he was a D and then the marine mention he was rookie with power of a logia. Next line you see WB saying they want to make him a warlord.
So goes to show you having a logia is a big plus which is also why they wanted him to be a warlord unless you saying they have to say that , In which i hope that some people would just have to use there head to see him being a logia was part of it since it was mention . |
