Episode 1013 of the One Piece anime has once again reached the exciting Ace appearance. Ever since Ace died in the war on top, the only way to see Ace again is from the memories of others. This time it is Yamato's memories, recalling the story of Ace, who once came to Ghost Island to fight Kaido, but accidentally became friends with Yamato.
The story takes place before Ace joins the Whitebeard Pirates, when Ace's back is empty and there is no whitebeard pirate symbol. Ace ventures to the land of Kazuno, learns that Kaido has kidnapped the girl, and travels to the Ghost Island to rescue her, taking Kaido's first rank by the way.
Ace is also a newcomer at this time, the so-called supernova, with empty eyes and great confidence in his own strength. Ace was lucky that Kaido went on an expedition with all the cadres, and the only powerful battle force was the rebellious Yamato. If Kaido were on the island, Ace would end up the same as Luffy, going to the quarry to work.
Although Yamato is not obliged to protect the ghost island, Ace has already made a big fuss and is bored, so he takes a shot at Ace. The battle between the two of them, on the surface, looks like a five-to-five. However, Yamato was handcuffed with the Sea Tower Stone, and the Demon Fruit ability was sealed, and its own strength was weakened.
Therefore, Yamato's strength is actually higher than Ace's.
Yamato and Ace share similarities and both hate their father. During the battle, Ace saw Yamato's inner cowardice. Yamato takes the kailoushi handcuffs that exploded when he leaves ghost island, and believes that he is not free and cannot go to sea, all of which is the fault of his father Kaido. Ace saw Yamato, and his body was sealed by Kaido, but his heart was sealed by Yamato himself.
When the animation team is working on this section, Yamato stands in the shadows, which means that Yamato seals his heart. When Ace enlightens, Yamato comes out of the shadows and comes into the sun, which means that the great reconciliation is happy. Yamato shatters the stone statue of The Dragon, which symbolizes Kaido's majesty, and Ace adds a blow to the Fist of Flames, backing the Black Cauldron for Yamato, but gives the reason that before coming next time, give Kaido a warning.
Ace is dead, and the desire to fight Kaido again reaches Luffy. Luffy will replace Ace, defeat Kaido, liberate the Kingdom of Peace, and take Yamato out to sea.
