Everything About Ace’s Fate
Fire Fist Ace Died on the Battlefield in the 483rd episode of the show. His death was heartbreaking as well as the crucial and major turning point of the series as well as for Luffy. This incident occurred when Ace was going to be executed and all the pirates who supported Whitebeard and Ace came to help Ace from being executed by the Marines.

This was a very big fight and Luffy came to help his brother Ace but even after trying his best, he was not able to save his brother. Ace lost his life while saving Luffy from Akainu who was going for Luffy’s head, he throws himself to save his brother Luffy and ultimately gets killed at the hands of Akainu.
Ace was a very strong fighter with great skills with a bounty of 550 million berries (currency used in One Piece) which shows how great he was. Luffy spent all of his childhood with Ace and later they became pirates. So you can imagine how shocking it would be for his brother Ace to die like that in his hands. Luffy was so depressed that he went into terrible shock and trauma after this incident.

But this was an important step, as this made Luffy realise that he was not strong enough and needed to gain more power, which he did with the help of Jinbei and others.
