Sorry I forgot to explain the reason for the smothering being impossible. Smothering occurs when the fuel for a fire is cut off from the reaction. As in if you have a fire made from wood, it requires oxygen aswell to burn, so pouring magma on that could extinguish it as it's liquid rock, it would obvious make another fire but the original would be put out. However in Ace's case he is the fire, Ace is made of fire, therefore he is an indestructable reaction, as we see with phosphorous it's possible for fire to burn anywhere including underwater as long as it has a source, Ace is the source, therefore nothing anyone did except for putting him in sea stone handcuffs or under the sea could damage him. He cannot be smothered, as he creates and controls fire at will, he is the source of the fire, no external fuel is needed so smothering cannot take place. Just face it, it's a massive plothole.
