Ace came to with rope wrapped around his body. The knots weren 't tied tightly, it would be very easy to escape, even without taking his Devil Fruit into the equation. But the moment Ace became aware, the first thing he saw were people eating their food ' women, children, men, elderly.

Ace stayed put, watching as the people who looked obviously starved ate all the food from his ship. His crew didn 't move, doing as he did.

He was lucky in that regard, growing up. He had people who loved him, food that he could easily capture. People were weaker than he was at Goa Kingdom, they were easy to steal from. So even if he didn 't manage to catch that day 's dinner, he and his brothers could easily run to a shop and take armfuls of food.
