i agree with Sir.Croc0dile, and disagree with most of you, in the end ace had to die in order to create more growth towards luffy and also to show other characters true nature and feelings for example, Garp luffy's granda if you all remember clearly garp was pissed and he asked songoku to hold him back cuz if not a sh** storm would occur and i strongly believe that garp can take on the three powers with both his hands tied behind his back like a boss. also mind you that the reaction luffy had towards ace's death was a blank soulless expression meaning that when he comes back from his trance of dissapointment sh** will really hit the fan and the world government will regret the hell they have created. I believe it was Hawkeyes who said "this man could be a problem in the near future, for he can make an ally out of anyone, strawhat will become the most dangerous man in the world" so with ace's death that "prophecy" could be completely fulfilled and create an even more interesting drama for the series. so if you agree with my comment thats ok cuz in the end really its just my opinion, but so far alot of my close friends agree with this and mind you that this is simply speculation cuz this is the first time i really have no idea where one piece is going, i just hope oda has a good reason for this and i believe he does so just have faith. it sucks that he dies yes, but think about it, the main story revolves around luffy and his crew, not around ace and the whitebeards...
