Marco naturally welcomed the news wholeheartedly, while also updating her on his side.

Quite a few things happened during that time.
First, Ace and the others infiltrated Kuri. Naturally, Ace wanted to see Tama, and he was also more familiar with the area.
But while finding Tama, they were pleasantly surprised to encounter the Straw Hat Pirates, who had escaped from Cake Island.
Luffy had happened to help Tama, and after the three groups met, Luffy learned that Ace's target was Kurozumi Orochi and immediately wanted the brothers to join forces and cause a huge uproar.
