Ace's nickname is "Fire Fist" because he uses an attack that is a conceptual form of a fire + a fist.
This is a recurring theme. For example, Luffy's punches aren't just literal punches, they're pistols.
It's not, and never has been, "who punches harder" it's who has the stronger concept.
Without this understanding, you will misinterpret every power or ability in the story.
Note: Let's be honest. The vast majority of readers don't understand it. It's also true that this is pervasive throughout ALL BATTLE MANGA. In every story, it's about concepts, and not literal structures. Stupid readers never understood that lol
