PORTGAS D ACE

Ace was a tall, muscular young man with straight, messy black hair. Although they weren't blood relatives, he resembled his sworn brother, Luffy, though Ace was taller and more muscular. He also had freckles on his face, inherited from his mother, and tended to make a skeptical facial expression by raising his left eyebrow. Interestingly, his facial features were almost identical to those of his biological father, Gol D. Roger, in his youth, but without the mustache. Ace's tattoos were among his most striking and trademark features. He had a tattoo on his back with the Whitebeard symbol – purple bones formed into a cross behind a purple skull with a white mustache – which he described as his pride and joy.[18] Ace had another tattoo on his upper left bicep that spelled "ASCE" vertically. The crossed "S" was a tribute to Sabo, as that was his jolly roger. On the cover of chapter 596, Ace's tattoo is actually written as "ACE" instead of the original "ASCE," as the cover is a "what if" image of Ace, Luffy, and Sabo together as adults if the brothers had all grown up together without the interference of Sabo's supposed death. Ace wore an open-front shirt until he got the Whitebeard tattoo; after that, he stopped wearing anything on his upper body, except during winter or on desert islands due to the weather conditions. He has a skater style. He also wore an orange hat with two blue faces, one sad and one smiling, and a red beaded necklace above the brim.
