Reborn as Marco phoenix after loss to Blackbeard Pirates

A hundredfold slash, almost instantly, cut Marco in half, and the flames turned into endless fragments, splashing down.

Poison Q, who was already hiding behind, saw this scene and suddenly showed joy.

The long knife cut off Marco and returned to its original length, and Byrnndi World held the long knife, revealing a proud look.

He once used this trick to kill a pirate whose bounty far exceeded his own, and swept all the way to achieve the legendary pirate!

It's just that...

Less than a second after the joy of these two was revealed, their expressions froze almost instantaneously—stiff!

Marco had already appeared, wings gone, on the deck in front of Byrnndi World!

Byrnndi World instantly understood:

What had just been cut in half was only the afterimage of Marco!

The flames that splashed down were dispersed remnants created by Marco!

This realization shocked him instantly.

Unfortunately, Marco had already moved in closer, not giving him the slightest chance to retreat; an amazing punch was launched, directly blasting out!

This kind of melee attack is not Byrnndi World's strength.

He only had time to block the long knife in front of him, and the Armament Haki almost instantly coated the blade.

Crack!

Even with Byrnndi World's incredibly strong Armament Haki covering it, the long knife still shattered in an instant under Marco's punch. As the fragments flew back, Marco's fierce and domineering fist crashed down on Byrnndi World!

Crack!

Byrnndi World only felt a burst of blood rushing, and he was shocked to discover that even reinforcing his defense with Armament Haki wasn't enough!

Where Marco's punch landed, the bones made a crisp, breaking sound.

Then, the powerful force directly blasted Byrnndi World away!

Boom!

Byrnndi World smashed into a huge mast, and shattered wood chips scattered everywhere.

With a crash, the mast fell, smashing the cabin to pieces!

Byrnndi World's subordinates on the ship turned pale with fright.

Swish!

Byrnndi World broke free from the broken wood chips, retreating at an incredibly fast speed, shock filling his heart. "I didn't expect such a powerful newcomer to emerge in this era."

To Byrnndi World, Marco still fell into the category of a newcomer.

After all, Marco belonged to the legendary pirates of the previous era.

Tread.

Marco calmly walked toward Byrnndi World, who had already put some distance between them.

His gaze was calm, filled with cold killing intent.

"Wouldn't it be nice to stay honest as a legend? If you come looking for trouble with me, you'd better be prepared to be destroyed!"

Whoosh!

Marco's speed suddenly increased, leaving a residual image behind. Fast as lightning, he charged straight toward Byrnndi World with the momentum of wind and thunder!

"My time isn't over!!"

Byrnndi World's figure flashed!

In an instant, his speed increased fifty-fold!

Boom!

Marco's attack fell, blasting through the sturdy pirate ship, and wood chips scattered like rain.

"Oh!"

Marco didn't waste any words, his figure flashing again as he chased Byrnndi World.

Momo 50x faster!

Byrnndi World's speed doubled once more, his figure disappearing and reappearing elsewhere in a flash!

But this time...

He was stunned!

Marco's attack had already targeted the spot where he would appear after the flash!

Byrnndi World's heart was gripped with fear; he couldn't believe Marco had seen through his movement!

What shocked him even more was that he had used Observation Haki to predict where Marco's attack would land!

Just like before!

But this time, his foresight failed; the spot he dodged to ended up being right in Marco's path!

He understood then: Marco's mastery of Haki far surpassed his own!

At that moment, Byrnndi World's scalp tingled, and his hairs stood on end!

It was too late to react.

Marco was already close, launching a tremendous punch!

The fist was coated with top-level, high-density Armament Haki!

This punch contained Marco's strongest power!

Boom!

The punch, carrying the momentum of thunder, landed, and the terrifying force instantly distorted and deformed Byrnndi World's body, continuously breaking it down.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering rang out.

Gah!

Blood surged up, and Byrnndi World spat out a mouthful of blood.

Boom!

Byrnndi World was sent flying again; a huge, bloodied hole appeared in his chest. Blood sprayed out, tracing a red arc through the air as his body crashed through the cabin!

Wood fragments exploded everywhere!

The scene was terrifying!

Byrnndi World's subordinates were trembling with fear.

The captain, the invincible figure in their eyes, was now so vulnerable. Their confidence shattered as Byrnndi World was pummeled twice!

"He… He is the Immortal Phoenix, Marco!"

"The captain is too powerful…!"

The rest of the pirates turned pale with fright one by one, not daring to move for a moment.

Marco ignored them.

Crash!

Byrnndi World, despite being seriously injured, rushed out of the wreckage of the cabin, his body bleeding, but his eyes filled with determination. On his shoulder rested a cannon!

"Even if the old era ends, it can still fire the strongest shot that will make the new era tremble!"

Boom!

As the cannon fired, the massive shell instantly grew a hundred times larger and accelerated a hundred times faster!

Momo 100x Gun!

This shell, now exceeding ten meters in size, was aimed directly at Marco!

Boom!

So close, it reached Marco in an instant, almost within a breath!

A hundred times faster!

A hundred times larger!

More than a hundred times more powerful!

A massive, terrifying explosion erupted instantly.

The bright flames in the sky engulfed Marco entirely, and the terrifying shockwave spread out like a tsunami, instantly sweeping everything on the deck away!

The explosion's light shattered the hull where Marco stood!

Byrnndi World's men were thrown into the sea one by one, though some managed to cling to fixtures on the deck, barely holding on.

"Is he dead?!"

"Being hit directly by such a terrifying explosion... surely he couldn't have survived, right?"

The pirates muttered in shock, feeling their bodies tremble. The explosion was terrifying beyond belief!

The entire pirate ship was split in half!

The sheer power of the explosion blasted everything on the deck away!

And at the center of that explosion—the most terrifying place—was Marco.

But...

Just when everyone was filled with doubt,

An extremely cold, murderous voice rang in their ears,

"Whether it's a new era or an old era... anyone who becomes my enemy…"

"There is only one outcome…"

"Death!"

Boom!

Suddenly, blue flames erupted in the sky. Surrounded by endless flames, Marco, stepping out of the fire, appeared and launched a punch into the air!

The sky full of flames surged and formed a massive, flaming fist!

Immortal Flame Divine Fist!

Boom!

This punch engulfed Byrnndi World completely!

Everyone still standing... was instantly left speechless!
