A quakeman huh? I never expected that one. Heck... I thought he wasn't a Devil Fruit user. Neverthelss, doesn't rest the coolness factor of Whitebeard.

It was great watching Ace's past, specially since it was that short. I've liked One Piece's flashbacks, but they tend to be a bit long... and I wanted to see the fight already.

I seriously didn't expect Luffy to know about Ace being Roger's son. It certainly scared the crap out of Iva-chan. I do wonder though... how the hell did he kept the secret so long being... Luffy?

One thing I didn't catch... was Ace a Shichibukai before joining WhiteBeard? Or he was just invited?
