Yeah! Thatch was the best chef to ever sail, no one could ever touch his cooking. And he was a powerful guy too. And Sanji, he's amazing. He was trained at the Baratie by Zeff himself. That's a big deal. I had such a good life. [Ace is very well aware that despite the pain, he lived a life that was amazing. He met wonderful people, had the best family ever, and was so loved.]

You gotta train with those too! If you don't, you won't have any real skill with 'em. At first I could just turn into flame, and catch stuff on fire. But it took about a year before I really mastered it and became worthy of the name Fire Fist. [Ace shakes his head, and looks a little sheepish then.] I dunno. A lot of people back home still don't believe they're real until they see the results for themselves.
