Ace was severely weakened by the previous defeat at banaro and the imprisonment at Impel Down. If the circumstances had been more fortunate, he could have defeated Akainu. RIP Ace, you died a heroic death. P.S. I really hope to see some team combinations between Ace and Luffy in a flashback. Your idea of Ace vulkanizing Luffy sounds great.
