Bro how would Ace be eating the Mera Mera no Mi? If he and Luffy and Sabo sail together he won’t end up eating the fruit, he ate the fruit long after he’d left
Ace ate the Mera Mera no Mi right after he left Mt Columbo, when he shipwrecked at Sixis Island, met Deuce and ate it. All the three brothers have shipwrecked right after leaving the Dawn Island so they'd probably also shipwreck together.
He and Deuce knew each other long before Ace ate the fruit, in fact it was what kept him and Deuce alive, at no point did Luffy shipwreck anywhere? He abandoned ship, but he didn’t shipwreck, furthermore if they were all to sail together their chances of shipwreck it are arguably far, far lower.
Ace knew Deuce at the same island he ate his fruit. Ace didn't stay too long in the island. Deuce was already there, That's why he was starving.
Luffy shipwrecked when caught by a whirlpool and hid himself into a barrel. His ship was destroyed and he was forced to abandon it, that's exactly what a shipwreck means.
Why would their chances of shipwrecking be lower? Only Sabo knew something about navigation, but he wasn't an expert. Also, knowing that both Luffy's and Ace's ships didn't have helm, I think Sabo wouldn't be able of doing anything to save them from a whirlpool.
Ace met Deuce whom he traveled with for several days before they began to starve and decided to eat the fruit.
That may be the literal definition of shipwrecked but Luffy’s boat shipwrecked, he was fine, unlike in Ace’s case where he washed up on land and Sabo’s case where he was literally a child.
YES!!! IN FACT SABO’S LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF NAVIGATION WOULD HELP THEM NOT SHIPWRECK!!! (Woaaaah) and inevitably their being together would make them too reliant on each other, fast forward a month or so and they’re all dead some way or another.
Ace never traveled with Deuce before eating the Mera Mera no Mi. They stayed at the island where Ace shipwrecked until they were able to set sail due to Ace new powers.
Ace shipwrecked at Sixis Island.
Ace met and befriended Deuce (who was already there).
Ace found the Mera Mera no Mi.
Deuce attempted to kill Ace in order to eat the fruit.
They shared the fruit (but only Ace got its powers).
They built the Striker (which only works with Ace powers).
I don't think Sabo could escape from a whirlpool using a boat without helm.
Why would they die if they'd be stronger? They'd probably run through the East Blue easily.
In between step 2 and 3 you forgot about the few days where they traveled together.
Realistically he couldn’t just take the ship out of the whirlpool but he could find a way to avoid it or know where they form and try to sail away from it. If you can sail using the actual sail and the wind there isn’t need for a helm.
They’d die because they’d be too reliant on each other, their crew of three (or more) probably couldn’t successfully make it through an event such as the Alabasta arc.
They didn't travel together. They stayed at the island. How would they travel without a boat?
Supposing that they'd set sail at the same time Luffy did, he couldn't do much to avoid it, since it was a surprise that happened right after Luffy beat the Sea Lord.
They traveled together across the island, I realise they didn’t have a boat, they were searching for food and resources.
Presumably they wouldn’t set sail at the same time as Luffy, and if they did Sabo would have prepared for sailing and navigating better than only acquiring limited knowledge. Also they wouldn’t set sail at the same time as Luffy, because of the age difference between all of them they might meet in the middle in terms of when they set sail, maybe Luffy would be 16 and Ace and Sabo roughly 18.
Ace and Luffy would have the same ones but I feel like Sabo would either have no devil fruit or have some kind of dragon devil fruit like a mythical zoan because of his dragon claw thing.
What do you think?
