Washed up on the shores of a deserted island at the edge of the East Blue Sea, two men from different backgrounds unite in their shared thirst for adventure. One of them, Portgaz G. Ace, will follow in his infamous father's footsteps as the fearless captain of a pirate crew. The other, Masked Deuce, becomes the reluctant first member of Ace's Spade Pirates. Survival is not enough for these seafaring buccaneers, as together they seek treasure, excitement, and a route to the New World.
Overall, One Piece: Ace's Story Vol. 1 is a decent read for die-hard One Piece fans who crave any additional lore or backstory on characters they love. It offers a glimpse into Ace's early journey and the camaraderie within the Spade Pirates. However, those expecting a high-stakes adventure with intense action sequences might be left wanting.
