Devil Fruit
Main Article: Aoi Mera Mera no Mi

Ace consumed the Aoi Mera-Mera no Mi (Blue Flame-Flame Fruit 葵メラメラの実), a Logia-type Devil Fruit that grants the consumer create, control, and turn their body into fire. Ace uses these abilities to boost the power of his martial arts, which are mainly performed from the air, so he uses his fire to propel himself into the air to conserve soul energy for his attacks.

The flames of his Devil Fruit are blue in colour, as opposed to the orange flames of the regular Mera-Mera no Mi, this difference from the regular version of the Devil Fruit gave Ace his nickname Dragon-slayer Ace of the Blue Flame, although before he consumed his Devil Fruit he was called Ace the Celestial Dragon-slayer (Tenryū hito sureiyā no ēsu 天竜人スレイヤーのエース).

Shiranui Zenjigen
Shiranui Zenjigen (不知火全自元 Sea Fire Complete Reflection) is an ability that was forced upon Ace by the World Nobles, he was part of an experiment to see if they could create an artificial Haki, the procedure worked, but Ace was left permanently disfigured. The ability allows Ace to see what an opponent is going to do, and allows him to copy it, it is always active, so to hide it Ace uses an eye patch, as it allows him to see what the opponent will do without letting in on his secret.
