I, Ace, Will Become the Pirate King

“My name is Portgas D. Ace. I'm 19 years old, and I live aboard the Moby Dick in the New World. I'm a pirate. I don't smoke, I drink only in moderation, and I go to bed at nine every night and sleep until morning. I never let fatigue carry over to the next day.”

“During my short career as a pirate, I realized something: pirates have their limits. The more scheming you are, the more you realize pirates have limits... unless you become something beyond a pirate.”

“Ace, what are you talking about, Ace?!”

“Old Man, I'm done being a pirate!”
