Ace

**Ace** is an extremely powerful and versatile cutlass that was once owned and wielded by the previous Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, serving as his trademark weapon before he gave it up. After leaving it to rest on Treasure Island, it was eventually unearthed and is now in the possession of Vermithor D. Vhagar.

## Appearance

Ace is a normal-sized cutlass with a slightly curved blade, and a saw hamon pattern adorned on the sides of the blade. It possesses a yellow hilt with diamond shape pattern, a golden guard, as well as a thinner hand guard running atop the hilt. Similarly it has a black sheath adorned with a golden tip at the very end of it, thought he sheath has since been lost.

## Abilities

As one of the 12 Supreme Grade Meito, the quality of Ace is ranked amongst the best, being one of the most powerful weapons ever created. Similarly, it is rivaled only by a select few other weapons, possessing incredible quality, strength, and durability even amongst swords of the same grade. It was used by the Pirate King Roger during the majority of his exploits until he left it on Treasure Island, where it was then obtained by Vhagar. Vhagar has also frequented using this weapon for his Two Sword Style and while Snow Flower was destroyed. It has never shown signs of breaking even when being pit against a Lunarian or some of Roger's enemies like Whitebeard, serving as proof of its immense durability. Roger frequently imbued the sword with Haki, while Vhagar frequently imbues the sword with Elements.

As depicted through all of its usages to verify the abilities in some way, with the exception of the very last one, Ace is capable of infusing itself with elements, Haki, or fusing with weapons. In doing so each method grants itself different attributes that can both harm or advance the sword's own power further, showcasing just how mighty a Supreme Grade Meito truly is. When Ace undergoes Weapon Fusion, it merges with another weapon. When Ace undergoes Element Fusion, it absorbs and then can coat itself or release an element it has stored. Lastly, when Ace is infused with Haki, it continues draining the Haki to coat itself even more and make it more powerful.

Weapon Fusion allows Ace to be combined with other weapons to adopt the traits of the other weapon temporarily. This grants a potential new appearance along with the abilities and attributes of both Ace and the other weapon. Likewise, the merging requires both weapons to be in good condition, with the greater the condition the greater the fusion potency. The weapons remain fused temporarily, depending on the compatibility of the weapons and Vhagar's own energy as this is a mentally taxing experience. A prolonged or repeated fusion can exert a tremendous toll, requiring breaks to recover or a forceful fusion disengagement. Ace will also assimilate combat techniques and skills associated with the weapon it was fused with, and can be fused with any weapon.

Element Fusion allows Ace to be combined with different elements temporarily to adopt the traits of said elements. So far this has only been seen with Water, Lightning, and Fire, but it has the range to also adopt other elemental properties. When combined they can form sub-elements or be used individually but to amplify one anothers' effects. The ability to fuse Ace with the elements is not limitless, as it has a limit to how much it can store. When it was used to absorb Torrent's 1,000 Wave Torrent attack, it was only able to absorb roughly 25% of it. Likewise Ace can choose to not absorb an element if it doesn't want too, or absorb elements that the wielder may not want it too. When blocking attacks infused with elements Ace can potentially siphon it to store some of the element into it. There is no known duration for how long an element will be stored, just that each usage and release of the element drains the used element from Ace.

Lastly is Haki Fusion, which allows you to not just infuse the Sword with Haki, at a significant cost and drain. When fusing the sword with Haki, depending on the type of Haki will determine the results. Despite this, the Haki fused will still be scaling in proportion to the level of Haki the user is at, with a slight amplification. However doing so in this manner prevents the User from also wielding excess Haki outside of within the sword, making it a significant high-risk high-reward.

### Techniques

*Main Articles: Vermithor Style and Vermithor Style/Two Sword Style*

There are a plethora of techniques that Vhagar can use while wielding Ace, which has since become part of and melded into the Vermithor Style and Two Sword Style respectively. Despite this, Vhagar's techniques are unique in that they rely solely on Ace's abilities as well. However, because he melds it with the rest of his fighting style, they will be listed on the Vermithor Style and Two Sword Style page respectively. However, they will be marked with an asterisk(\*) to show they require Ace to be used.

## History

### Past

Roger was first shown wielding Ace several years before Vhagar's birth, using it to combat Whitebeard. Then Roger would go ahead and bury Ace into Treasure Island, remarking it was the swords birth place and that it should be put to rest there until someone else worthy claimed it. For almost two and a half decades it laid there unearthed until rumors spawned that Roger's sword was left there and maps began to be produced. This would be the motivation for which a War would be fought over the sword.

### North Blue War Arc

During the war with the Olympian Dreamer Pirates, Kurogaru Pirates, Crossbone Pirates, Trove Pirates, and G4 Marine Branch. After a long fought battle, the Olympian Dreamer Pirates won and Vhagar came into possession of the sword.
