Striker

The Striker is a raft that was used by Portgas D. Ace.

Appearance
Striker is a waterproof, one-man, yellow raft shaped like a half crescent. It has an engine in the back, two paddle-wheels on the sides, and a small sail in the back. Everything is linked to the main seat in the middle of the raft. In the manga, it has a black sail, while it is white in the anime. The Whitebeard Pirates' Jolly Roger is painted on its sail and flag.

Abilities
Striker is powered by Ace's Mera Mera no Mi powers from the front seat that is linked to the engines on the sides and back of the craft that use the heat to create a wind uplift to fill the sail of the ship. The ship has also been shown to be able to dive underwater.

Past
When Ace and Masked Deuce were shipwrecked on Sixis, Deuce built a raft named Striker for them to leave. Around three to four years ago, when Ace went to Wano Country, he used Striker to leave Onigashima.

Alabasta Saga
Striker was first shown during Ace's fight with Baroque Works Billions' ships. As Ace used his "Fire Fist" to annihilate the fleet, the Striker dove under the water, and Ace jumped over the wreckage. Then as the craft reemerged, Ace got back on and left.

Ace's Great Blackbeard Search
After departing from the Straw Hat Pirates, Ace took Striker and sailed the sea in his search for Marshall D. Teach, helping to deliver a letter for Moda but landing near Marine Base G-2. Eventually, after acquiring new info on Blackbeard's whereabouts, Ace took Striker and left.

Merchandise
A model of Striker is presented in One Piece Super Ship Collection.

Trivia

 * "Striker" may be a deliberate reference to the main scorer on a soccer team, complementing Ace's own name (a common term for the best pitcher on a baseball team).
