Ace should be capable of walking towards Natsu and choke him to death, if Natsu tried to grab him or hit him to get free Ace would just turn into fire and the attacks would go through him.
That wouldn't work, mostly because Ace would have no way of keeping Natsu from escaping from said choke hold because Natsu is far stronger. He'd just pry Ace's hand from his throat or force Ace to turn his hand into fire, and escape. Once again, barring some ridiculous powerscaling, Ace is far weaker than most other characters at his level in One Piece, at least in terms of physicals. He makes up for this by having his Logia fruit.
Choking Natsu would be a bad move. Without insane scaling, he is at a risk if he stays tangible and constantly being at such a close distance would let Natsu prepare for eating his flames for a power boost if Ace goes intangible.
I'm not sure that would even work. Somebody at Screwattack said something very interesting. To put it simply, fire conducts electricity due to the plasma that it produces. Given Natsu's Lightning Flame Dragon Mode, this means he now has the perfect way to hit Ace through his Logia Intangibility, utilizing the conductive properties of fire to hit Ace's true body (which is hidden within the flames) by conducting his electrical attacks through the flames.
......this makes absolutely 0 empirical or logical sense and is not true at parts. Ace's body isn't hidden within flames, he is flames.
The lightning plasma so fire conducts electricity thing sounds like straight up BS filled with buzzwords to sound right so can you prove it? Because as far as I know, that isn't how fire, nor electricity, work. And fire conducting electricity doesn't prove it getting past the intangibility anyways.
And then Natsu escapes from Ace trying to choke him since the hand that Ace is choking Natsu with is now intangible in this theoretical situation. And then Natsu will see the next time Ace tries that coming.
