Marco's P.O.V.

As we left the island I had renewed hope. Pops was right they could still be alive. They could be in coma's. But if they were in coma's does that mean they had brain damage? Could they maybe of lost their memories? Would Luffy come back to me if she was still alive?

"How long are you going to stand there and wallow in guilt and sorrow?"

I didn't have to turn around to know it was Thatch. I didn't reply just stood looking at the sea.

"Marco it's been alittle over a month since the war. You need to snap out of it. I miss Ace but I know that he wouldn't want me to wallow over something like this. Neither would Luffy, She'd want you to grin, smile, be happy. She'd have Ace burn you if she saw you like this. Not eating, Not sleeping. Just being an empty shell. She would be mad at you."

"She said she wasn't coming back when Ace got captured. That she was going to rescue him then was never coming back. She's already mad at me yoi. She said it was my fault Ace got captured. And now it's my fault they arn't here yoi."

Thatch was about to say something when Vista and Izo came running towards us the paper waving in their hands.

"Pops told us to show you the paper!" They exclaimed together. "And you guys have mail to."

I was alittle suspicious of the grins on their faces as I took the paper sighing. It was probably about more rookies trying to take over our islands thinking the war weakened us. But as I looked at the paper my jaw dropped.


~ STRAWHAT LUFFY AND FIREFIST ACE ALIVE! RETURNED TO MARINEFORD ~

Firefist Ace and Strawhat Luffy returned to marineford rang the ox bell 16 times and spread flowers throughout the place that was the battleground for the War of the Best before escaping on a boat with Former Pirate kings First mate Dark King Rayleigh and Formor warlord Jinbe.


The photo showed was Luffy and Ace side by side holding hands heads slightly bowed and their other hands holding their hats to their chest. On their arms were tattoos that were never there before. Both the same. An X crossing out the 3d and underneath that was a 2y. They both were wrapped severely in bandages. I pondered what the tattoos meant but was glad they were still alive. Tears flooded down my face. They were alive and still causing trouble. But were they coming back to the Moby Dick? Was Luffy coming back? Was she still mad at me?

"You said we had mail?"

Thatch's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah"

I took the letter that was in Izo's outstretched hand to me. As I opened it I immediately recognized the writing and felt my heart stop. It was from Luffy.


So I know the chapters are short but they will get longer. I promise. Thanks everyone for reading and the reviews mean alot to me so Please Review!
