No dude it's nothing to do with fire being quenched... Ace is fire, and there is no limit to the temp fire can reach, that's obvious and everyone knows it, so to say magma is stronger even though it has a limit is stupid. Oda basically wanted a certain outcome and was prepared to be a bit of an idiot to get to it. Nothing that happened in this arc made any sense, Whitebeard could have split the island in two instead of standing there grinning while his subordinates died. It was all bullshit. Ace isn't vulnerable to Magma, not gonna be accepted because its stupid, like I said earlier, if he was then you could beat him with a wet tea towel. In a straight up punch like the two exchanged Ace's fire would have caused Akainu's Magma to completely disintegrate, he would have lost control of it's form and thus lost the fight in terms of that quick exchange of blows. In terms of Haki fine, obviously Akainu would outdo him, but really Oda took a character he had already made awesome, and dropped him down to pathetic just because he wanted to kill him off.

I get what you mean and obviously Enel getting beaten, Crocodile etc. that makes sense, but  the fights with Ace weren't thought about at all, and if you put no thought into a story that makes it crap. The simple fact is Oda should have accepted that the way the story had gone so far and the way it was leading made more sense for Ace to be rescued than killed, but he ignored that and made every good guy suddenly become retarded just so Ace could die, lame twist really.
