Marco's P.O.V.

I looked at Luffy's handwriting for a second my throat choking up before I read it.

Marco,

As your probably aware now. I'm not dead. And neither is Ace. We both are well and alive and we know Thatch is alive. Teach stole him then one of his crew mates had a devil fruit power to look like Thatch was dead. It was a trap for Ace and me. Teach knew that Ace would come after him. And I would follow Ace when I heard he got captured. My crew and I got separated at Saboady by that bear man warlord. But thank you Marco coming with the old man to save us. It meant a lot to Ace. We would really be dead if you didn't occupy that marine guy that shoots the light beams. Going through Impel Down made me realize I'm not yet strong enough to go to the new world. I'm still to weak. So Rayleigh is going to train me for 2 years and then I will meet my crew back at Saboady. I will be strong enough next time so I can protect my crew. Ace will rejoin you guys there then as well.

I'm not mad at you. I know you couldn't control what happened. And it wasn't your fault Ace got captured. I shouldn't of got mad at you for that. With Teach gone and Thatch back home I realize you were hurting as much as I was because your brother betrayed you. I still had mine, I just had to get him back. You had one of yours try to kill your others and your father.

I'm sorry I made you cry. In two years will you want me back? I love you Mar-kun. If you want me back meet up with me in two years. If not I understand. I know your mad me and Ace basically sacrificed ourselves for you and the old man. But you guys gave us a reason to live. We couldn't let our mistakes kill you.

I will always love my Mar-kun

~Luffy

The tears stated flowing again. Luffy was alive and well. And not mad but then I noticed another piece of paper tucked in with the letter from Luffy. Reading the first words I felt myself start to transform in irritation.

Mr. Grumpy Pineapple,

Luffy doesn't know I'm adding this to the letter going to you. But take care of Thatch for me while I'm gone. I don't want to lose him again before I see him again. And If you make Lu cry again your ass will be our next meal at the next party. Rayleigh is going to teach us how to us Haki and train us to become stronger. I guess it was a promise to my father. I hope everyone won't hate me for what my father did or was. See ya in two years and take care of Thatch for me.

Ace

Not a minute after I was done reading it Thatch launched himself at me and wrapped me in a hug I couldn't escape from.

" What's the matter with you yoi?"

"Your back! You got irritated and transformed you haven't done that since the war! Let me guess Ace sent you a letter too? What did Luffy say?"

"I'm hungry let's go eat yoi"

"Well I can't imagine why your so hungry mister I was so depressed for a month I wouldn't eat and had to be knocked out and jabbed with needles so I would get nutrients and sleep."

"Now that you mention that do you know who did that? I owe him a lesson on how to knock out people yoi."

Thatch quickly excused himself exclaiming he had work to do.
