Things are different now…

Outline-

What if things happened differently? What if Marco was thought to have been 'killed' but had really reborn because of his devil fruit? What if someone else then become Whitebeard's first-mate? What if Marco had a completely different live? Yet, similar to the one he had with the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time? What if Ace was born sooner and a twin? What if Luffy and Sabo were born earlier and they were the same age as Ace and his twin? What if Ace, his twin, Sabo and Luffy were raised by Marco?

What if, they find out that Marco was really alive and they wanted him back? Even though he had no idea who they were. What would he or the Whitebeards or Marco's new family/crew do then? What if things are different now…

Family Part 1

Spade sighed as he just tried to relax on the little boat he is in. Spade has no idea what happen or how this even happened. One moment- he is taking a nap since he was bored then next moment, he was on this boat in the middle of the sea. Trying to think on what happened to lead Spade to this situation just made him bored and sleepy again. How long has Spade even been out here for?

And once again, Spade was bored.

"I'm taking a nap!" Spade smiled (if one could even call it that…) and said to no-one as he closed his eyes and turned to his side to sleep as he hugged his sketch book.

Spade sighed again as he thought about his family, his crew. They missed him right? They were going to come looking for him right? They were looking for him now right now! Spade was sure of it! His brothers weren't going to ditch him… right…? Phoenix wouldn't let them… would he?

Of course not! Spade was the Captain and Head of the Family! And Phoenix was his best friend, his First Mate, his brother and the next Head! He wouldn't ditch Spade! Not after everything they have been though! They might as well be real brothers, that's how close Spade and Phoenix are.

"Where the hell are you guys?" Spade muttered to himself. 'Where are you, Phoenix?'

A few odd hours later…

Spade wake up as he felt something hit his boat, actually it was his little boat hitting something but that's not the point. Spade opened his eyes up partly and looked up but covered his eyes as he looking up right where the sun. FUCK!

Fuck it, Spade didn't really care right now. It was mostly either an island or a ship and right now Spade didn't care which it was. He couldn't sense anyone from his family, from his crew so it wasn't them so Spade was going back to sleep. Fuck whoever this is, his Haki will let him know if he's in danger. Plus, Spade was really sleepy too.

Hopefully these strangers, whoever they are will just leave him alone. Even if Spade hated being alone. He just wanted to sleep and wait for his crew, his family. They would find him, they always do when he goes missing.

Phoenix will always find Spade and Spade will always find Phoenix. It was the promise that they made each other when they when they were kids. It brought a small smile to Spade's face thinking about it, which was normally emotionless face. Meeting Phoenix was the best that ever-happened Spade.

"No matter what! I'll find you and you find me, deal?" Spade said to Phoenix after Phoenix had saved him this time.

"Deal!" Phoenix smiled as they shook hands, "Captain."
