Well I agree with what you said but here is my reasoning for them:

Blackbeard: What he did was indeed despicable, I mean betraying the trust but think of it, when a spy betray the hard gained trust he does it for a mission. I know Blackbeard was no spy but his case was similar, he was on a quest for power and took it as a mission and for that mission betrayed trust. So even though it was a heinous act, it was valid from the point he stood. However I do agree that he is not a good person, I never said he was.

Ace: Well I am totally with you on the points you mentioned. I did not say he was selfish cause I thing it was more like being obnoxious and sinfully pride rather than only selfishness. Where I differ on him being noble was when he placed his pride over Whitebeard's command and disobeyed (albeit in a heroic way) his captain. I just can't see any good on those two actions (chasing Teach and going against Akainu). And yes he was indeed strong, easily at Shichibukai level. So that's probably all  Blackened D.
