^They did have a really brief encounter in the manga, yeah. But it was just.... well, brief (basically Ace blocking Smoker's attack, telling him about his power, and..... I think that was it?). The part with Ace hanging out with Luffy and co. for a while was all filler, though (he gave Luffy the vivrecard, blasted away all those BW ships, and left the island right after the Smoker encounter in the manga).
