[It's true that Marco would have a very tough time admitting it, but he still might ask Ikki to sing all the same. Because no matter what Ikki says, Marco's one hundred percent decided that Ikki is a little brother and he'd equally determined not to let him forget it.]
Every damn day.
I know I'm spoiled. I got to spend the most time with him of all my family. I didn't even go hunt Blackbeard alone to get vengeance for Thatch because I didn't want to leave Pops, Ace did it instead. I was with Pops every step of the way, and it still never feels like enough time for me.
But even beyond my own selfishness, if he was here for Ace, Thatch, Namur, you, Leanne, and the others that would be enough for me. Ace is strong and carrying on his own, but because he left us early he got the least amount of time with Pops, and Akainu trapped him by insulting Pops. With Ace's temper, Ace couldn't let it slide.... so I know he misses him a lot more than he'll ever show.
I'm their big brother, aye, but I'll never be Pops.
