Fly, little bird (away from everything)
Written for the wonderful @opmarcozine! So happy and honoured to have been able to take part in this project 💙
I wrote one more fic for the digital add-on which is much, much lighter than this ahaha If you fancy yourself some silly pineapple flambe and jealous kittens, stay tuned for later this week! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Last chance to grab yourself a copy!
[ READ ON AO3 | KO-FI | COMM INFO ]
—————
The one time the Whitebeard Pirates had visited the Land of Wano, it was a peaceful and beautiful country. Marco still remembered the lush forests of Kuri, could smell the aroma of the giant koi being grilled over fire, could hear Kin'emon scolding Oden for wanting to leave. It was a great place; the stories Oden, Inu, Neko, and later Izo had shared with the family were all fun and happy.
With the isolation policy, they all assumed the country was still the same. That Oden had made his way back to the country after Roger's execution and was now busy being a terrible Shogun—having more fun than governing, giving Kin'emon and Denjiro grey hair while Toki did nothing but encourage her husband.
They had no reason to think there was anything wrong with their brother (or uncle?) and his country.
But then the news reached them.
Watching Pops' almost permanent wide grin freeze and eventually disappear was never a good sign. Honestly, a skirmish with some stray Beast Pirates who thought picking a fight with another Emperor was a bright idea wasn't a good sign either but Pops going from relaxed to shocked to angry was in a league of its own.
"What's going on, yoi?" Marco asked as he rushed towards the group dealing with the mess.
When Izo turned to look at him, Marco startled at the sight that met him. Izo's lips were pressed into a thin line, his jaw clenched. His brow was furrowed so deeply that his carefully applied make-up was creasing and the look in his eyes was… full of fear.
Marco took a deep breath, his gaze darting between Izo's twisted expression, the looks of anger on his other brothers' faces, and Pops, who had stood up to his full height with Murakumogiri in hand, his grip tight as he glowered at the pirates in front of him. Haki was vibrating in the air when he finally spoke up, his voice resounding around the Moby Dick with a commanding tone that would make even the greatest Neptunians quiver.
"Kaido's ruling the Land of Wano? What's that mean, squirt?" he asked.
"Exactly what I said," one of the Beasts said, voice full of fake confidence even as he visibly shook in fear.
Dead silence followed his words. Everyone could imagine what it meant.
Carefully, tentatively, Marco raised his hand, placing it on Izo's shoulder. When he didn't immediately shake him off, Marco squeezed lightly, hoping to remind his fellow division commander that he wasn't alone. Marco wasn't sure if that was enough… but he didn't know what else to do for him right then.
It seemed like a pointless question when Pops demanded to know what happened to his little brother; Marco was sure they could all imagine Oden's reaction when he had learned Kaido put a pawn on the Shogun's throne and took control of his homeland. Oden might have hated the isolation policy but he loved his country and its people.
Letting go of a shaky breath, Marco tried not to imagine what Oden's last moments might have been like. He simply squeezed Izo's shoulder tighter.
The man stood still for a moment longer but then he finally shook Marco's hand off and stepped forward.
"What about the retainers? What happened to them?" he asked, voice carefully measured.
"The castle burned down. There's no way anyone survived," the Beast answered after a reluctant pause.
Heavy silence settled over the deck before Izo turned around, his coat swishing behind him as he walked away. No one dared follow him.
"Toss them overboard. I don't care what happens to them," Pops announced, sitting back down in his chair to signify the matter over.
Marco didn't wait around to see Jozu leaving their lives in the mother sea's care. With one powerful wave of his wings, he rose up high to the air, soon leaving the Moby Dick behind as he shifted into full phoenix form and took off to nowhere in particular.
It was moments like this that he was grateful to his devil fruit. The ability to just up and leave when he wanted to clear his head or just needed a break—that alone was worth the threat of drowning in a puddle. Maybe he should take Izo up here once the gunman sorted out his thoughts.
Once Marco sorted out his own.
He wanted to go back; he wanted to go to Pops and demand they turn the ship around and go to Wano to free their family's country, to get revenge… But he wasn't stupid. He knew it was impossible—not without putting countless lives in danger and not without the World Government getting involved. After all, this wouldn't be just a matter of two rival crews fighting amongst themselves. This would be an open war between two Emperors.
It was simply not going to happen. Pops would never agree and Marco himself wouldn't easily make that decision. Maybe if Oden was still alive, if they were sure Izo's sister was alive… it would be different. But as it was, there was nothing to gain, Marco knew.
He knew, but that didn't stop him from wishing they could just go and do it.
And so he merely waved his wings, rising higher still.
—————
­­Looking at the large stones in front of him, Marco wondered if it was possible for tears to run out. It had barely been a week since Marineford, the wounds still fresh, still tender, still so damn painful... and yet, Marco's eyes stayed dry now. They stayed dry despite the cold, hard reminders within an arm's reach; reminders that he would never again hear Pops' laughter, never again find Ace sleeping on top of his own medical records and setting them on fire.
It almost felt like the gravestones were mocking his inability to cry anymore.
It didn't come as much of a surprise when quiet steps approached him before a delicate hand came to rest on his shoulder.
It took a long time for either of them to speak, time filled with mutual understanding and mourning for the ones they had lost. But finally, Izo's soft whisper was carried by the breeze to Marco's ears. "Thank you for being here."
At that, Marco snorted. "Shouldn't I be saying that in this situation?"
"Maybe. I just wanted to say it," Izo replied, his tone lighter but every bit as serious as it was before and Marco's shoulders sagged.
"I'm sorry. This is the second time we let your family die," he muttered.
Izo clicked his tongue, letting go of Marco's shoulder to instead whack him over the head. "Shut up. Neither what happened in Wano, nor this was your fault. We all did what we wanted in the end. Including Pops and Ace."
"I know," Marco sighed. "It's just hard, yoi."
"It is," Izo agreed quietly, his hand landing back on Marco's shoulder to give it one last squeeze.
Marco huffed, a small smile finding its way to his lips for the first time in days. "Thanks, yoi."
"You know where to find me," Izo said before he took a step back.
Marco briefly wondered whether he was that predictable or if Izo was simply that perceptive but he decided not to dwell on it. He let his arms be engulfed in blue flames that soon formed into fiery feathers—soft, warm, and familiar, turning his arms into powerful wings which could carry so much weight… but which still couldn't carry the future of the crew.
But if he let them… maybe they could at least carry the guilt and leave it somewhere far above in the clouds. Maybe turn it into rain to replace the tears Marco couldn't shed anymore.
"I'll see you later," Marco only said before raising into the air, Izo's nod nothing but an afterimage as he took to the air, just like he had done years ago after they had learned about Wano’s fate. Just like he had done countless times in the past few days.
As he rose up, higher and higher, he was surprised by how much lighter he felt now; it was like he was leaving behind not only Izo and Whitebeard and Ace’s graves, but also a large portion of the weight that had been sitting on his shoulders for days—months, really; ever since Thatch was killed—and which had been keeping his wings from spreading fully.
It would probably never go away but maybe, just maybe… it would become easier.
And he would never have to take to the air to mourn ever again.
—————
As he soared through the skies of Wano, Marco couldn't help the wry smile pulling on his lips. What a naive wish he had made two years ago.
There was no one to comfort him now; no one to squeeze his shoulder and smile encouragingly. Izo was gone, just like Pops and Ace and so many others.
But Marco… kept soaring.

Oda could literally draw Yamato with a trans flag in his hand with a speech bubble saying "happy pride fellow lgbts" and 85% of the online op fanbase and subsequent dudebros would STILL do the mental gymnastics to try and muh muh muh their way of using the correct pronouns
