Captain of the new whitebeard pirates

The said ghost chuckle at their reaction, "I maybe am yoi." He turned to everyone, "I'm Marco the captain of the New Whitebeard Pirates and from the same timeline as Anna yoi. I'm really glad I got to see all of you before our time crumble to its end yoi."

They all can't believe it, was he the Marco mentioned in Anna's last message?

"Marco" A familiar voice addressed the transparent figure. Turning to see his past Oyaji made him smile sadly, "Oyaji I'm glad to see your one last time. The others would be delighted to see you again yoi, too bad not everyone are here."

Whitebeard's eyes soften, seeing the sadness, frustration and tiredness in Marco's eyes really pains him.

The transparent figure looked around as if looking for someone. Seeing the person, he's searching for was missing he questioned them. "Where's Anna yoi?"

Everyone blinked, "Huh?"

"Your... not here this whole time?" Chopper questioned as he hid behind Usopp's legs. Transparent Marco shook his head, "I arrive by the very time I spoke yoi."

Most of the occupant looked down, unable to tell him the truth. From Anna's message it's clear that Marco was protective over her, the same for the future Sabo, Zoro and obviously the mother, how can they tell him the truth. Out of everyone the young Marco felt worst as he wanted nothing but become a thin air. This reaction made the transparent Marco gone serious, something happened and he felt like he won't like it.

"What happened to Anna yoi?" He asked seriously. Everyone remain silent and before those who are brave were about to answer, Whitebeard beat them. "Anna died." The information shocked the transparent Marco. Whitebeard glanced to their young version Marco, "She died protecting your younger version."

Transparent Marco glanced to his younger version who kept looking away from him. Guilt was very visible to his eyes. That was enough to make the transparent man laugh, gaining some questioning look from most everyone.

"I see..." He smirked, "If that's what happen then that makes sense yoi." The young Marco blink in disbelief, "Y-you're not... mad?"

"Why would I be mad yoi?" The Transparent Marco questioned as he crossed his arms, "We're talking about Anna here, daughter of Straw Hat Luffy who had no regard for his life for the sake of his nakama and family. I blame Ace for this yoi."

Ace glared the transparent man, "HEY WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?"

Thinking what he said, the Straw Hat crew could see that indeed Luffy is always ready to give his life for the sake of their lives and dreams. They respect their Captain fully and because of one after another revelation that they can't help but think as how they are now, it only increased the fact they felt a burden for their captain.

"In any case" Transparent Marco wave him off as he approached his younger version. He gave a painful smile, "Don't blame yourself about what happened to her, she made up her mind to protect you and believe me her motto is 'you only live ones' so she does whatever she wants without regarding her own safety yoi. Did you know even she hold a huge responsibility as the leader of Revolutionary and leader of her tribe that she kept heading into trouble whenever no one was watching, did you know she beat up any men that tried to flirt with her or in another way around would give little seduction before giving a painful punch and ughh thinking all of those gives me headache yoi."

Luffy can't help but laugh because for him its funny. For Sabo it was raging anger when he heard pervert men flirting his future niece, same with Ace but still both found it very natural if Luffy's daughter always get into trouble.

"Must be hard." Rayleigh commented.

Transparent Marco sigh, "You have no idea yoi." He gave an apologizing look, "I'm sorry Marco."

That took the young Marco's attention, "S-sorry for what?"

"This yoi." He pointed him, "For killing you myself and forcing you to gone through rebirth."

Young Marco widen his eyes for a bit for the realization before looking down, eyes shadowed. 

"Marco" Whitebeard called the Transparent man, "Why do that? You could have just come and talk to me, or us for that matter."

"That may work... but..." He turned to faced his previous Captain, "It won't be enough to guarantee the changes."

"What do you mean Marco?" Izo questioned.

"There's a specific time we fully wanted to change." Transparent Marco said seriously, "The extinction of D's."

That was enough to give shocking expression to Rayleigh, Whitebeard and Shakky.

"D" Robin murmured in thought.

"Does a D in Luffy and Ace's name have special meaning?" Nami questioned. Transparent Marco answered but not fully giving details, "People with D on their names are very important factor especially to this present. It is really unfortunate that Gol D. Roger wasn't able to fulfill it due to his incurable disease yoi."

"What?" That took Ace's attention, "Wasn't able to fulfill? Incurable disease?"

"Not many in Roger's crew know this Ace." Rayleigh said as he turned to his captain's son, "But Roger was seriously sick and no doctor could cure him, not even Crocus." He glanced to Transparent Marco, "Something must have happened for you to learn the truth."

Transparent Marco smirked sadly to give his answer.

"Then... what happened next?" Brook questioned.

"Realizing he won't be able to fulfill it." Unexpectedly it was Whitebeard who gave more explanation, "All he could do is believe in the next generation to fulfill it, for that he surrendered to the Marines and in his execution he raised the pirate era."

"Something you also did before dying in war yoi." Transparent Marco said, "Now I'm convince, you really know about it yoi."

"Roger told me in our last meeting." Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, "Everything."

All became silence as they progress what they had learn.

"D" Someone voiced that made everyone turn to the speaker, "Does this D have something to do with the Will of D?" Robin questioned. She knew she asked this to Rayleigh and wanted to find it out on her own but just to make sure she questioned to make some confirmation.

Robin didn't expect it would be Shakky to answer, "The answer" All attention swift to her, "Will be found in the island called Raftel."

Everyone realized she's talking about the legendary island called Raftel.

"Roger is a great man Ace yoi." The second commander was shocked from the transparent Marco's words, "If only he's not in near death door he would have stayed to protect you and your mother." He became serious, "The World Government had twist so much truth about Roger, to the point those who doesn't know him had believed how bad and terrorizing he is to be called demon which wasn't the truth yoi."

Ace glared, "How damn you sure about that? How the hell would you know those things!?" He gripped his fist in anger that made the two brothers tried to calm him down.

The strawhats were confused, why's Ace angry?

The transparent Marco sigh before explaining, "I can't say much but... you could say we actually met him yoi." That astonished everyone. Whitebeard and Rayleigh on the other hand smirked.

"So someone reached Raftel." Rayleigh commented in excitement. Whitebeard laugh, "Gurahahahaha so, who reach the island?"

"Can't tell you it would ruin the fun yoi." Transparent Marco said smirking. "In case it wasn't me who succeed him yoi. We just happen to stumble a way to meet him with our allies yoi."

Someone reached the legendary island and became a pirate king. Luffy grinned in determination as he bumped both his fist together, he will make sure that person would be him. For the brothers they can't help but smirk knowingly, they got the little hint after all.

"Marco" Transparent Marco called and when the young one faced him, the transparent man was slowly disappearing that widen his eyes. "Y-your..."

"My time will soon be gone yoi." Transparent Marco said as if it's no big issue, "So as my only apology to what I have done, live the way as you see fit. I'm looking forward to what kind of future you will set for me yoi."

He's disappearance was spreading around his body. Young Marco shouted, "WAIT! WAS THAT ALL I HAVE TO DO? IS THERE NO OTHER WAY FOR ME TO HELP?"

Transparent Marco smiled for his younger version, "No, you did well enough to keep Thatch alive and prevent Ace's capture yoi." When he said the fourth commander's name he glanced the said person who looks about to tear up. He returned his gaze to his younger self, "You did enough, beside I'm sure Anna had done something more than this and its already in motion yoi."

That questioned them. Before they could ask however, Transparent Marco smiled one last time before disappearing to where he stood.
