Main Verse (Pre-Time Skip Canon)

Ace's main verse takes place during the pre-time skip period leading up to his death.

Escaping Death Verse(Post-Time Skip)

That day at Marineford, Portgas D. Ace, the son of the Pirate King himself did indeed die. However, when Jinbe saves Luffy and escapes with the assistance of the Heart Pirates, Trafalgar Law uses his devil fruit abilities to switch out Ace's body with a deco. His reasoning behind this is never learned, however, he is able to resuscitate Ace. However due to the extensive damage and injuries that he suffered he is comatose for over two years, secretly hidden away on the Heart Pirates submarine. No one outside of the crew is made aware that he is alive in case he doesn't pull through or never awakens. One year later Ace wakes up from his Coma. Owing a life debt to Law, he leaves the Heart Pirates and returns to the East Blue where Garp helps hide him from the world as he recovers from the ordeal he was put through. Assured by Law that Luffy was alive and ok.During this time his devil fruit reappears in the world and is eaten by his sworn brother Sabo since Ace had technically died, thus the fruit was reborn within another somewhere in the world upon his death. It is upon learning that Sabo had eaten the Flame Flame fruit and Luffy had defeated Doflamingo that he returns to the Grandline to find his brothers.

Son of the Pirate King Verse

An exploration of what Ace's life would have been like if his mother, father, or both had survived and gone to live with him on Dawn Island under Garp's protection.

Alternate & Generic Universes

Modern Verse

Ace belongs to the biker gang the 'White Beards', traveling the world with only what he can carry on his bike. While not an official gang, they are known for the power that they hold and that to mess with one is to mess with all of them. Their leader, White Beard was once a high-ranking underground blackmarked Lord, so while he's technically 'retired' from that way of life, they live on the edge of the shadows.

Mythology Verse - The Hellhound

There are rumors and legends about the Hell Hound. Some say they are an omen of death, others that they guard the underworld, however, all claim them to be black wolves bathed in fire. Ace was born to the daughter of an Alpha Werewolf and a Hellhound. As a halfbreed he inherited his father's powers and yet is unbound to hell for his mother, upon his birth sacrificed her soul in place of his. Unable to find a pack of his own since many see him as an abomination he wanders the world until running into his father's great rival. A powerful Alpha Werewolf who accepted him into his pack as if he were his own son, giving him the mark of a White Beard Pack Member.* This verse can also be written as though he has no pack of his own and is a lone wolf

Headcanons

Lack of Self-Worth

It's a constant theme in the anime revolving around Ace's question of if he deserved to be born or not and this struggle he deals with right up until his death. So I wanted to elaborate on that from how my interpretation of Ace faces this self-loathing and hatred.First of all, he's never actually suicidal. Though it can sound like it from the outside, he never once considered taking his own life for two reasons. The first, and main reason, is the sacrifice that his mother gave by protecting him with her life, literally keeping him from being born for months to ensure that he wasn't killed upon his birth by the Marines. The second is the need to prove to himself and the world that he does in fact deserve to live, regardless of who his father is.How this affects his personality is huge.Because he'd so aware of this darkness and how crippling the self-loathing can be, he goes out of his way to look for the signs of it and other abuse/trauma in others. He is the definition of the kind of person who the brighter the smile the greater their pain. Trying to be a source of warmth and light for those around him that need it while all the while remaining silent about his own internal struggle.This is why he's always laughing and smiling and from the outside appears as this warm happy go happy-go-lucky guy to those he doesn't see as a threat. It's why he's polite and caring and will go out of his way to help others. Why he is essentially just this big brother to everyone that needs one, or an attentive lover even if it just for the night. He wants to make sure that everyone he meets knows that they are special. Because at the end of the day, he doesn't want anyone else thinking that they aren't good enough like he does.The only people that know of the true depth of his pain are Sabo, Garp, and White Beard.

Ace's Sun

While he will never admit it, Luffy practically saved his life because, at the time he met Luffy, he had no one. Yes, he and Sabo were saving up money, but that true brotherly bond hadn't formed quite yet and at the end of the day, Sabo didn't need him. Similarly, with Dadan and Garp, they were in charge of him but didn't need him.Luffy on the other hand followed him around nonstop upon meeting him and when directly asked said that his things were easier with Ace when he was around. Implying through that simple agreement to his questions that he needed Ace. Luffy was the first time he felt needed by someone else and the first time he realized what it was like to be needed.It was a responsibility he'd never imagined having had yet the moment he realized that was what Luffy needed he took it on without question. Luffy had believed in him, waited for him, and trusted him to be there for him. Realizing this pivotally changed Ace and helped him turn into the man that he would become.This is why he was so terrified when Luffy came to save him in Impel Down and Marineford. Because that wasn't just his brother coming for him. Luffy was the first person to show him what it was like to be needed and consequentially loved. It's why he sacrificed himself without question to save Luffy.Because Luffy is Ace's sun.

Ace's Motorcycle

This is for any verses were he had a bike. The side bags would be leather vs. the compartments that this one has.

Pole Dancing

He didn't plan to learn how to pole dance. It happened as a drunken dare that he took far too personally and way too far. Then it turned into a way to train his muscles in the way that running wild had, working them differently than the gym could and maintaining his flexibility. And he's actually really good at it since he grew up jumping and flipping all over the mountains and through trees. So he picked up moves quickly and already had the muscles built. It's not something that he flaunts, but will just let drop from time to time.So yeah, Ace can pole dance.

Verse Specific Headcanons

Escaping Death Headcanons (Survival Verse)

Ace often forgets that he isn't made of flames and thus is constantly burning himself now. Reaching for things he could have once picked up due to being heat resistant or getting to close to a flame

Probably one of the best advantages of no longer being a devil fruit wielder is that he can swim again. Something he now does as often as he can after being unable to for so long.

He utterly hates getting cold now having been immune to it for so long. Going so far as to have a collection of throw blankets, hoodies, sweatshirts, and several different winter jackets.

He his love of spicy food has increased since the warmth it brings to his stomach and body reminds him of his time as a devil fruit user.
