As commander of the Second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace had authority over the lower-ranking subordinates. In addition, as one of the top four commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was one of the top four fighters on board under Whitebeard himself.
Aside from the powers granted by the Devil Fruit he consumed, Ace also possessed immense physical strength. Signs of his great physical potential were already evident at his early childhood, where even as a young child, he was able to beat some local thugs who spoke ill of his father "half to death". Ace was already very...

Portgas D. Ace (ポートガス・D・エース, Pōtogasu D. Ēsu, renamed to "Portgaz D. Trace" in the 4Kids dub), nicknamed "Fire Fist Ace" (火拳のエース, Hiken no Ēsu, "Trace Heat Fist" in the 4Kids dub), is Luffy's adopted older brother and the commander of the second division of Whitebeard's pirates. Though it is implied at first that his father is Monkey D. Dragon, his actual father is Gol D. Roger. Rejecting his biological male parent, he only recognizes Whitebeard as his father and took the surname of his mother, because he owes her a great debt. To conceal his existence from...

* Spirit: Voiced by: Daisuke Hirakawa
Senbonzakura's shikai.
Byakuya Kuchiki's zanpakutō is Senbonzakura (千本桜?, literally "thousand cherry blossoms"). Its shikai is triggered by the command "scatter" (散れ, chire?). In the English manga the phrase is translated inconsistently; at the start of volume fourteen it is translated as "die", though later in the same volume "scatter" is used instead.

As a captain of the Gotei 13, Byakuya is extremely skilled in all forms of Soul Reaper combat. In keeping with his rank, Byakuya's abilities allow him to defeat opponents of captain-level ability without much effort.
Of particular note is Byakuya's speed: he is skilled in the use of flash steps, having trained with (but never surpassed) Flash Master Yoruichi Shihōin. Yoruichi also taught Byakuya some techniques of her own creation that involved flash steps, including one called utsusemi (空蝉, lit. empty cicada, in reference to their molting), which allows Byakuya to move out...

Byakuya Kuchiki is the 28th head of the noble Kuchiki clan, one of the four great noble families in Soul Society. As such, Byakuya acts in an aristocratic manner — he seems always serene and apathetic towards other people, even when he is actually deeply conflicted. He is also extremely calm, even in battle, and is very seldom surprised by even the most drastic of actions. Ironically, when he was younger, he was quick to anger and very hotheaded, as noted by his grandfather, Ginrei Kuchiki; similar to the way Ichigo and Renji are now.
