Marco's Point of view

I stared at the two graves, tears falling. I couldn't believe the words on each grave that stood side by side. My brother and My lover. I couldn't understand why they died. I lived. Why? They were still young 17 and 20. I should have died in their places, If only Ace didn't think he had to play avenger when Pops told him not to, He wouldn't be dead. And neither would Luffy. She should of listened to me . She had her whole life, she had a dream. Queen of the Pirates, Everyone laughed at her for it but she'd just stick her tongue out and pout about it. I knew she could of achieved it. If only Ace didn't lose to Teach, Didn't get captured. If Teach hadn't killed Thatch, I would be kissing Luffy, Ace flaming up at me being overprotected of his little sister, Thatch laughing then pulling Ace into a kiss to calm him. Luffy's crew laughing and then when they departed Luffy grinning that wide grin and telling me she'd be back soon. I cried harder realizing our last words together ended with and argument and her storming off in tears.

*Flashback*

"Mar-kun! I'm back!"

"Hey Lu. How was your trip yoi?"

"Great shishishi I'm hungry. I need Meat"

I laughed that was always her response when she came back to the Moby Dick. She wasn't apart of the crew but she did stay with us a lot. At first it was just for her Big brother but soon It became for me as well. She then said something I knew she would but had hoped she wouldn't notice.

"Where's Ace and Thatch? They are never missing when I come back. And where's Teach? We were going to have an eating contest."

" Luffy, Teach Killed Thatch and abandoned the ship. Ace left in search of Teach and to kill him."

"WHAAT THATCHY IS DEAD? YOU LET ACE GO AFTER HIM?"

"Luffy we tried to stop him yoi."

"I don't care I told you to look after him and to not let him do anything reckless. And that means those rumors that Ace was captured by a guy called Blackbeard and turned into the marines is true? Marco you let Ace get captured."

I flinched at her accusation. The tears rolling down her face. I pulled her into a hug for her to push me away

"Marco how could you let him and now that he's captured your not going to do anything? You let Thatch die. We told you and Pops that Teach possessed a dark spirit. I told you to not let him out of your sight. You didn't listen to me! Now Ace is going to die because of you! I'm leaving to save my brother and I'm never coming back!"

She left in tears her crew following Zoro and Sanji glaring at me.

*Back to Present *

Never again would she smile that huge grin. Use her Devil Fruit powers against any who wouldn't give her meat or got her irritated, which was everyone at some point. She was the only Devil Fruit user the sea didn't hate. In fact it was her strength. She was Water. It was funny She was water and Ace was Fire. Identical in looks complete opposites in powers. And never will Ace try to burn him for kissing his sister. Never again will he and Thatch would pull pranks against him.

Pops pulled me into a hug. Saying "we couldn't find the bodies they could still be alive Marco. You know we just put the graves up to throw the marines off."

"Pops what if they are dead? We never got to tell them that when Teach died Thatch was recovered and still alive yoi. What if they died thinking that they failed and Thatch was dead and Teach was on the loose yoi? And if they were still alive then they would be in the news or here. You know they can't go a day by themselves without ending up in the paper yoi"
"Marco they could be alive but in comas. We know the Red hair pirates came along with the heart pirates. Shanks could have them and Law is a doctor. I'm sure they are safe. We can try to contact Shanks and ask him."

"Thanks Pops, but what if..."

"Marco no more what ifs and we have to leave this island marines are coming."
