Sabo, Ace, and T-Bone received Tsugikuni Yoriichi’s order to help the Pai Pai Kingdom’s royal army repel the Revolutionary Army, forcing them to confront the conflict between Marine policy and the Revolutionaries’ cause. As Crow’s forces breached the royal city, Ace prepared to intervene, and a furious voice cried, “Fire Fist!!!”

Marine Headquarters' Ace intervened in the Revolutionary Army's uprising in the Pai Pai Kingdom and confronted Crow, whose Coal-Coal Fruit countered poorly against Ace's flames. Their fight moved away from the battlefield, where Crow escaped Ace's apparent finishing attack and launched a surprise strike from the ground.

• Ace swept across the battlefield with a wall of fire, halted Crow's advance, and ordered the Revolutionary Army to end the war.

• Crow turned into coal dust, but Ace struck the fragments with a Fire Fist that erupted in a blue-green explosion.
• Crow emerged from the muddy ground after shedding his shell and sent sharp coal spikes toward Ace.
