A/N: I was listening to a song umm... I'll Be Right Here, if I'm not mistaken. Search at youtube, it's something like sad and emotional and Nami things. I don't remember. But enjoy this! Or not.

"Hey, Pineapple-head!" shrieked two voices belonging to two mischievously grinning men.

Marco just blinked at the horizon of the sea. Memories trigger and invaded his thoughts.

"I know that you're his son, Ace." the blond uttered calmly. The raven just frowned while hugging his knees.

"And you guys pomise won't hate me?"

Silence took over the conversation. Ace stared at Marco with pleading hopeful eyes. Marco smiled at that kid.

"Why would we hate you?"

Ace widened his eyes in shock, mixed with joy.

"Besides, we never hated Roger!" chirped the cook. Thatch had a gleeful smile on his face and was half-hugging the first division commander, eyes shut to givee a bigger space for his huge grin. Ace grinned wider than Thatch did and hugged the two commanders.

"Thank you!" he laughed, hugging the two elder tightly. Marco replied the hug, so did Thatch.

"It's a rare devil fruit, I see," Marco uttered with one eye closed. He was quite interested with the devil fruit in his friend's hand but he didn't quite liked that fruit. As if it will bing dismay and bad luck to them.

"Heck it is! I think I'll have to eat it to find out what power it gives!" grinning the cook went to the kitchen, taking along a few books about devil fruits.

But, as soon as he found out that it was a dark-type devil fruit, Teach came to his back. "Hey Teach, if you're here for food then I've prepared some cookies on the table there," pointing innocently at the table, he didn't even change a glance with the man.

"What fruit is it, Thatch?"

"Yami Yami no Mi."

"Oh really?" As Thatch was about to leave the kitchen to meet their pops, Teach grabbed a knife and immediately stabbed the poor innocent cook from the back. When the lightning stroke, showing his evil grin, Thatch passed out. The man took the devil fruit on the ground and laughed before leaving the huge ship.

"ACE AND OYAJI ARE DEAD!?" the cook screamed but then coughed blood as he was still badly injured. Those stabs on his back were painful indeed.

"Why didn't anyone told Ace that I was alive!?" Thatch shouted out of anger. He glared at Marco, their current captain.

"We tried to. But he left and didn't want to listen to us. Even if he knew you were still alive, he'll still go after Teach," Marco explained calmly. Inwardly guilt came invading his feelings.

Thatch hugged his knees and tears by tears flow down his cheeks. He starts to sob louder and louder and eventually cried out so loud that the whole ship heard it.

"Why did you have to go, Ace? Oyaji?" a single tear slipped from his eyes and dripped down his chin. He wiped his eyes as tears start to form more. He then fell down to his knees to hide his tears.

Without him knowing, a person under a black cloak was smiling at him. "What will you do to get them back?" the person asked.

Marco snapped out of his thoughts and turned to see at the person behind him. How long has she been there!? Wait, those golden topazian eyes and that red-hair. And that height. No adult is shorter than she is.

"Koyuki?" he questioned with a confused look on his face.

The girl grinned at him. "SO what will you do?"

This silenced the commander. He'd do anything. But he wasn't sure on how to express it out. "I'd do anything for them, even as far as to the depths of hell," Marco uttered confidently. Thatch had somehow sneaked beside him and was staring at his friend silently.

Marco was serious.

"Me too," Thatch added.

"Me too," uttered a number of new voices from behind Koyuki.

Everyone was on the deck, with serious faces, hoping the Hazuki family member will do something for them all.

"Then there's only one thing I'll ask from you all."

"Tell us!" the commanders all uttered in unison.

Smiling under her cloak, Koyuki raised up her right hand.

"We the Revolutionaries need your support in helping the knight's side to win the war. Risk your lives for a better future for everyone. Ace and your oyaji will be there too. The two along with your other brothers and sisters. All of the dead shall be risen to either help the knight's side or be an obstacle in his path. I know what'll happen and my only demand is your support."

Every Revolutionaries raised on of their hands up showing their vow whenever they want to recruit new members.

"You're inviting us to become a Revolutionary?" asked the cross-dresser.

Sighing, the girl shook her head. "Not joining. See it as an alliance."

"Oh..."

Silence encountered the deck.

"So what's your answer?" the girl asked.

Everyone of the remaining Whitebeard Pirates looked at the bond who was frowning. Depending on their vice-captain, they justs need him to answer it. They all knew the answer. Marco nodded at them all, with them nodding back to him.

"Our answer is yes, yoi."

A/N: I don't what this is. But this whole fic is kinda um.. A sidestory to Stories? Uhm... Nope. But this chapter is. Well. Don't believe anything in this fic. I'm just writing for inspirations. Well, sorry for wasting your time...

I'm just... I don't know... I'm just... typing.

I don't know why, but I have a strong feeling saying that Thatch didn't die. Besides, I don't remember anyone saying and confirming to us that he is indeed dead. I really hope he won't die.

Oh. I have one reason as to why Sabo didn't came back to Ace and Luffy.

The reason is...

He never knew that the two D. brothers thought that he was dead.

Anyways, thank you for reading. See ya! ;D!
