[And you don't even know how special and important Esmeralda was for Ikki yet, Marco. Did you think that having the heartless of Whitebeard as a father was all the shit he has on his back? Ikki chuckles at his brother's words.]

I know. That happened long ago, Marco, you don't need to worry. I have died way too many times after that, there's not a drop of blood from that time left in my body. It has been over five years since I hated the world.

[Now he only hates himself, he won't say that though, neither explain much about his deaths. Specially the first one. He doesn't want Marco despising him. Instead he laughs again.]

I bet he would be happy about that with how much he liked to be hated.
