Macey changed things without meaning too, how was she meant to know that she wasn't meant to exist in this world? That by her being here was going to change a lot of things for a lot of people. How was she meant to know that her showing up was going to change Ace's, Sabo's and Luffy's futures? How was she meant to know? She never asked to be born in this world, she just was and she was going to live it her way. Freedom is all that matters anyway and that's what she is going to give the three younger boys. Freedom. After all, Freedom is all that matters.
Family/Adventure. Rated M for later chapters

Hello dearest fans/readers!
There might be some relationships (of any kind), people can make suggestions for them. just comment or PM, I'll take a forum in the next few days about it for this story once I get some work things done and I have some more time. But there will be a bit of violence which is why this is going to be rated M.
So please enjoy my dears!
Prologue
Macey watched as her home was destroyed- she was born and raised on a small island in one of the most remote places in the whole of the West Blue. Pretty much no-one has ever heard of the small island of Isila. That was, till the World Government and the Marines come and now have destroyed it using a buster call.
Why one asks?
Because the island held some of the world's best researchers on it and one of the families that lived there, one that has been around for roughly a thousand years, refused to give up their research to the World Government and the Marines.
They were the Aschgate Family, (Aschgate D. actually but, they don't always use the D. in their name). They were Devil Fruit Investigators and Researchers. They have collected lots of information about Devil Fruits over the thousand years that the family has been around for. Since the information is always changing and needing updating. After all, devil fruit eaters change after one dies after all.
Macey was now the last one, Aschgate D. Macey, though she doesn't normally tell anyone about the D. in her name since she had no idea what the D. was meant to mean, so if people asked her name she normally just says Aschgate Macey.
But not now, not anymore. If anyone knew that she was still alive then the World Government and the Marines would come for her, either to imprison her to get her to talk to them and give them the information she has/knows about Devil Fruits, that they want so badly. Or they will come to kill her to keep her quiet. If anyone knew she was an Aschgate or worked out that she was one and if they knew who and what the Ashgate's did, what the Aschgate's were. Then it would be the end badly of Macey. She would lose their freedom that her mother and uncles died for her to have.
So, from now on, Macey wasn't Aschgate D. Macey anymore, hell she wasn't even Aschgate Macey anymore. She was just Macey or Mace for short. Not that no-one will pay a family-less kid and more or less an nameless kid any attention anyway.
Macey tied back her long blonde hair- like her dad's hair and blue eyes, like both her parents have… like her mother had. Macey pulled on her long purple shirt like dress over her knees and long black pants. Macey stared down at her sandals- a gift from her father that he sent last year, they were too big but Macey didn't mind because she knew that she would grow into them. Macey was only 8 years old and she has already lost everything she knows.
What was she going to do now…? Macey wanted her dad… no, actually, she wanted her mum back.
Meanwhile somewhere in the New World…
"Oi Marco!" Thatched shouted as he looked at paper. "Where are you!? Marco!"
Marco was never going to get any work done with Thatch running around like a mad man outside looking for him. What did Thatch want from Marco this time? If it's about another prank, Marco is not saving Thatch's ass from the angry people. The guy needs to learn to grow up. And this better be important!
Marco sighed as he walked out of his room.
"Thatch don't bother Marco right now," West* the Second Division Commander told Thatch with their backs turned to Marco, "He's busy with paper work."
"But Marco has to see this! Right now! It can't wait!" Thatch whined like a little child. "It's important!"
"See what yoi?" Marco asked with his usual bored face expression on. What seems to be some important that Thatch thinks that Marco has to see it right now and that it can't wait because it's apparently that important.
"Marco!" Thatch smiled as he pushed pass West.
West muttered a few things very pirate like things about the cook which made some of the crew laugh and snicker. Something about asshole and bastard cook who is just a man child or something like that.
"Remember that nice girl who travelled with us for bit around ten years?" Thatch asked Marco. Thatch remembered her but he couldn't think of her name. "The one from West Blue. The devil fruit researcher."
"Naomi?" Marco replied. Oh yes, Marco remembered and knew who Thatch was talking about. "I remember her, yes, why?"
Of course Marco remembered her, he did kind of fall in love with her. Not that he would admit it out loud, nor would she. They were never officially an item or thing or couple, they were just together without being together and without everyone else knowing. There were only a few who knew, like Pops. But the Captain doesn't count as he seems to know everything.
"Great! What was the name of the island she was from?" Thatch asked.
"Isila Island I believe it was, very remote in the far east of the West Sea, why?" Marco answered then asked right back.
Thatch had tears suddenly in his eyes- what the hell…?
"I don't know how to break this to you Marco," Thatch said all teary eyed. How as Thatch going to tell Marco that the woman he loved (yes, the entire crew, despite the two of them claiming other wises). Thatch couldn't think of how, so handed his brother the newspaper. "Read."
Marco sighed as he took the paper and read the article. His eyes widening in shock at what he was reading, there had been a buster call on an far east small unknown island (aka Isila) in the West Sea. The article went on to say that the inhabits were planning on destroying the world with a doomsday weapon so the Government and Marines destroyed the island as soon as they got word and had someone investigate it. getting rid of the weapon before the people of the island could use it, though it didn't say what the weapon was…
What!? What bullshit! This is complete and utter bull fucking shit. The people that lived on that island were peaceful researchers! They didn't make or create weapons that could bring about the end of the world! How could the World Government and Marines say that!? How could they tell the newspapers that to tell the world!? How could they do this?!
And there were no survivors…
Marco said nothing as he handed the paper back to Thatch. Marco walked back into his room and slammed the door close. No-one needed to say anything, they all knew that Marco needed some time to himself to get over the grief and the loss of their friend and his lover, even though Marco won't admit but the Whitebeard Pirates pretty much all knew that Naomi and Marco were lovers and loved each other. Just that neither of them wanted the other to give up their life for the other so they went their separate ways.
It was kind of romantic depending on who you asked and others thought it was stupid and lame.
Marco pulled out some letters and a few photos from his desk- one photo was of Naomi and him, another was of Naomi holding a young baby then another one, a more recent photo of a young girl around eight years old smiling.
Not only was Naomi dead but her daughter too… no, not just her daughter, his daughter, their daughter. Macey, she was dead too. Macey was gone and there was nothing that Marco could do about it. He never even got a chance to meet her. He never got the chance to protect her! To scare away the boys who dare to come near her or who she liked. Marco never got the chance to know his own daughter…
All Marco could wish for was that he could have at least one chance to meet her before… to have met her once before her death. To explain to her why he wasn't there for her and her mother and why the two of them went their different ways, but Marco was never going to get that chance now… Marco was never going to get the chance to ever meet or get to Macey or for her to get to meet him, Pops and all her uncles and aunts. They were never meet, even though Marco and Noami were planning on it when she was a little older…
Marco couldn't stop the tears once they started…
A/N: *West is an OC, I have no idea who the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates was before Ace so I made one. I'm not sure how long he was dead for either before Ace joined either. So I just wanted to put someone in here. We'll see and hear from West a little bit before I kill him off. Sorry West! Love you since your mine but I have to kill you, other wises unless is Ace still going to become the Second Division Commander?
Macey is an OC too, but she is the one who is coming to change the future- especially Ace's, Sabo's and Luffy's. But the question is, is it for the better or it is for the worse?
Ace, Sabo and Luffy come in next chapter!
