no regrets

"This is... Luffy's daughter..." Sanji murmured, eyes reflect total shock because her face was like a total girl version of his captain.

"Luffy-bro just who did you end up with?" Franky questioned in disbelief because the expression she's showing was no way it's from Luffy. Whoever he ended up with must be a strong and deadly one.

"Guys look" Nami pointed the 'Dead' word, "Her second wanted poster, instead of dead or alive only dead, they are desperate to kill her."

"She did massacre those Tenryuubito. The World Government wanted to let everyone know no one could escape from it so easily." Izo input in disgust. Thatch added, "Still I believe they deserve it."

"That's for sure." Ace said as he glanced at Sabo, remembering the whole reason Sabo didn't remember them these whole ten years.

Whitebeard who remain silence was already planning especially he knew the chances of Sengoku making a move was high, it happened before, well it should be but changes had been created, they got time to prepare for the worst.

The brother soon glanced to their little brother who's eyes still fix on the picture. The Strawhat as well glanced to their captain. Sensing their eyes pointing toward Luffy's, Marco who finally made up his mind used this opportunity to bring out his sword that ones owned by Anna, approached him then offered the sword to Luffy which made the Strawhat Captain confuse as to why he's giving his sword when he's not a swordsman to begin with.

"This sword actually belongs to Anna." Marco informed which cause a wave of shocked to almost everyone. The present swordsmen which were Zoro, Brook, Rayleigh and Thatch could tell even without touching it that the sword was light weight a very good for a swordsman who focuses speed than strength and the sharpness, none won't be able to deny it if ever they heard this sword had actually experienced slicing a ship not ones but many times.

The way it was forge was really strong too that they could say this sword won't be broken so easily. Marco continued, "This sword along with the notebook was given to me by Anna before she died. Now that I know Anna's identity who's not only from the future but also your daughter, I guess its best to return this to you."

Ace, Thatch and Izo were widen in disbelief upon his word, mostly to Whitebeard who had witnessed most of his free time if not reading the notebook, he's caressing the sword as if his own treasure that cannot be replaced by anything.

Luffy tilt his head out of confusion, "Why are you giving that to me?" Marco blinked in confusion, before he could answer however, Luffy added. "I'm not a swordsman like Zoro and Brook." The two said swordsman would either be grinning or feeling proud if weren't for the topic they're discusing.

"As I said, this sword was given to me by Anna and now knowing you are her future father I think this sword is-"

Luffy countered, "But she didn't say thing about giving it to me." Its not a question but a fact, something that surprised his crew and to both Izo and Thatch while his brothers didn't falter as they observed the conversation.

He grinned, "Shishishi if that's so then it belongs to you." That really took Marco off guard, not knowing what to say anymore. Luffy softly pushed the sword away, silently telling the young teen to keep it. Understanding, Marco with little conflict sheath it back to its scabbard. "Although I'm curious about something."

Marco nodded, telling to go on.

"Did she die without regret?" Luffy questioned that Marco never thought he would question because normally the person would ask how and why not did. He remembered Anna's final moment, her last breath of calling his whole name before dying with content and smile, she's happy. Marco faced Luffy, "She died with a smile and content expression... I think she is."

Luffy stared him completely, as if seeking any lies to his words. It was proven none when Luffy smiled softly, "That's good, shishishi too bad I wasn't able to meet her."

The Straw hats and Whitebeard pirates were shocked about about how Luffy take this. His brothers on the other hand smile knowingly to their brother.

"Yo-you're not mad?" Thatch can't help but question. Luffy tilt his head, "Why would I? If she's my daughter that would mean I would meet her somewhere future. There's nothing to be unhappy about."

That made everyone blink from realization, mostly to Marco. Anna was from the future, there's a chance they'll meet her again.

"Leave it to Luffy to give the simplest explanation ever." Sabo said before hugging his little brother who got overjoyed and hug him back.

The Straw Hats sigh in agreement.

Ace laugh lightly about the scene then stroking his little brother's head to take his attention. "I did what I promised."

Luffy grinned happily because yes, Sabo was with them, the ASL are reunited. "Thanks Ace."

Both brothers smile for their little brother.

"Glad everyone are reunited happily." A Foreign voice for the non-Whitebeard pirates while very familiar to the Whitebeard Pirates except Ace. They all turned to the entrance to see someone in a transparent form and none of them can't believe whom they're seeing, even Shakky and Rayleigh, mostly Marco.

That transparent person was none other than Marco, not the young teen but much older version than Whitebeard, Thatch and Izo last saw him.

Usopp, Chopper, Nami and Brook exclaim in horror, "GHOST!"
