The
relationship between father and son in the One Piece series is
always complex and difficult, and that's especially true for Gol D. Roger and
Portgas D. Ace. Even though Roger tried to protect Ace by asking Garp for help
before Ace was born, Ace still harbored a deep hatred for Roger.
So,
why did Ace hate Roger?
1.
Being Roger's Son Made Ace Hated and Hunted by the World
Gol D.
Roger was known as a dangerous pirate and a "demon" to the general
public. Because of this, his reputation and that of his family were terrible.
The Marines were even hunting for any of Roger's children.
Due to
his father's bad reputation, the world hated and wanted to kill Ace, his son,
believing he was just as evil as his father. This is the main reason Ace hated
being born the son of the Pirate King.
2. Ace
Felt He Owed Roger Nothing
Ace
felt he owed his father nothing. According to him, Roger had done nothing for
him and had only made his life miserable with his reputation.
Instead,
Ace believed that his mother, Portgas D. Rouge, was the one who truly
sacrificed everything for his birth. This is also why Ace took the name Portgas
D. from his mother instead of Gol D.
3.
Despite Hating His Father, Ace Would Beat Up Anyone Who Spoke Ill of Roger
Ace
may have despised Roger and felt that his father only made his life difficult.
However, if he ever heard someone bad-mouthing Gol D. Roger, Ace would
absolutely beat that person up.
It
seems that despite his hatred, a father is still a father. Insulting Roger was
an insult to his family, including Rouge and Ace himself. This is likely why
Ace would get so angry at anyone who disrespected Roger.
