"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. "

"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."

To quote Misk Wisk:

'''Wow, I read one of the AWC comments saying that magma preventing oxygen from reaching fire didn't matter and just thought WTF. Anyone with a brain can tell you that without oxygen fire goes out. That basic fact was one of the things that allowed nitrogen gas to be discovered. '''
