»The War is over!«
And the Marines had won. Portgas D. Ace, the son of Gol D. Roger was dead, and so was his captain, Whitebeard – the strongest pirate of this era.
Now, it had come to an end, at the expense of severe losses on both sides, paving the way for new powers longing to tip the scales over in their favor. Some of darkness, some of hope.
»One Piece ... The One Piece is real«
Whitebeard's last words to the world, known to be true by the one man who had arrived to end the war, that had claimed the life of his captain's son.
The Red Hair Pirates stood to face those still willing to fight, making Fleet Admiral Sengoku see reason and give in to Shanks' demand to prevent unnessecary bloodshed – and his demand to bury Whitebeard and Ace, not willing to have the Marines make a spectacle of their deaths more so than already.

As they bade farewell to Whitebeard and Ace at their graves, Marco thanked Shanks for everything, and they soon parted after. While he passed by hundreds of pirates that had come to honor Edward Newgate, the Red Hair's thoughts drifted towards Ace and his resemblance to his father. In silent empathy, he thought of Luffy and the anguish he was going through, wishing him the strength to overcome.
