Reborn as Marco phoenix after loss to Blackbeard Pirates

Doflamingo made the wisest choice.

He was gambling, betting that Marco could take out the three and four Emperors, but the stakes were a bit high.

Not gambling meant death.

There is still a silver lining in gambling.

Surrender, and complete surrender.

"Tomorrow, I will announce to the world that you will officially fly my flag and become my subordinate."

Marco said very briefly.

With his current strength, there was no need to hide at all. With the strongest posture, he told the world that he would build a supreme power!

A force strong enough to shake the whole world!

"Good."

Doflamingo nodded without any hesitation.

He had already set a plan to kill the supreme minister of the Charlotte Family of the Four Emperors, and that scene was witnessed by many pirates. Even if they can't see Miu Duan for the time being, after a while, they will definitely think that the two ministers of the Charlotte Family were controlled by the power of the String-String Fruit.

After all.

The power of the String-String Fruit is very famous in the New World.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Katakuri woke up from his coma, opened his eyes, and saw Doflamingo kneeling on the ground. His eyes suddenly widened, his heart was filled with doubts, and when he looked up and saw Marco, it was like being struck by three thousand bolts of lightning!

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a king of the underground world, unexpectedly...

Kneeling respectfully in front of Marco!

Such a scene made Katakuri feel incredibly difficult to accept!

"Even if you saw it, there's nothing to be concerned about."

Doflamingo looked at Katakuri and said very seriously, "As you can see, the Donquixote Family has completely submitted to Marco, and from now on, we are Marco's subordinates."

Rumble!

Receiving Doflamingo's personal admission, Katakuri was shocked once more.

Even Katakuri, who has always been extremely calm, felt a profound shock when he saw Doflamingo—a tyrant who did not even submit to the Four Emperors and only spoke of cooperation—now surrendering to Marco.

The more you understand, the more astonishing it becomes.

After Doflamingo admitted it himself, Katakuri had to accept this reality.

Silence.

Quiet.

Doflamingo didn't say much.

Katakuri was also silent.

Marco looked at the two—Doflamingo on one knee and Katakuri lying on the ground, covered in blood.

"I am willing to surrender."

After a long time, Katakuri took the initiative and said, "What tasks need to be accomplished?"

Doflamingo could be called a wise man who knew the times.

But Katakuri was entirely different.

From the start, he stood on the side of protecting the Charlotte Family, which led to his fight against Marco.

He did not hold a grudge against Marco.

It was just that their positions at the time were different.

But he never expected that, after losing that war, he would suffer all kinds of cruel treatment from his own mother, be deprived of forty years of life, and be subjected to torture and attempts on his life!

Katakuri's guardian spirit, long shattered on Cake Island, had turned from coldness to hatred.

At this moment, his position had completely shifted.

His current stance was as an enemy of the Charlotte Family.

There was no doubt that the enemy of an enemy is a friend. And after seeing Doflamingo submit, Katakuri made an astonishing decision after a long silence.

He would submit to Marco and join Marco's ranks!

Katakuri was smart, and he knew that if he wanted to join Marco's flag and become Marco's subordinate, conditions would be involved.

So, he expressed his stance clearly as soon as he spoke.

Now it was Doflamingo's turn to be shocked.

He hadn't expected Katakuri to be so decisive.

The word 'surrender' was not to be taken lightly.

Seeing Marco remain silent, without any hesitation, Katakuri forced himself to struggle upright and did the same gesture as Doflamingo—kneeling down!

"I am willing to submit, no matter the conditions required. Once my injuries are healed, I am ready to fulfill any tasks to prove my sincerity!"

Katakuri said with utmost seriousness.

"Yes." Marco nodded. He understood that Katakuri had been driven to desperation by Charlotte Linlin, and for a strong individual of this level to submit spoke volumes, "I want you to go to Totto Land and take the heads of the highest ministers of the Charlotte Family."

Doflamingo was shaken internally.

To go to Big Mom's base camp and take the heads of three supreme ministers!

This was no simple task!

The previous success in eliminating two supreme ministers was purely because they were caught off guard, utilizing a brief moment of control to make them turn on each other!

If it were a head-on confrontation, Doflamingo was not confident that he could eliminate the two supreme ministers in such a short period!

Katakuri nodded, said nothing more, and made his position clear.

…

Day 2.

A piece of news that plunged the world into chaos spread everywhere.

His Majesty, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo, made a bold announcement to the entire world that he would submit to the Immortal Phoenix Marco and become Marco's subordinate!

This news completely shocked the world.

…

In the Sabaody Archipelago, countless pirates held the Le Monde newspaper in disbelief.

"His Majesty, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea… Donquixote Doflamingo, actually declared that he would join Marco and become Marco's subordinate! He… actually surrendered to Marco!"

Countless pirates were stunned.

…

New World.

A vast, intricate underground network.

"The arrogant Celestial Dragon, Joker, actually declared to the world that he would willingly become Marco's subordinate and completely surrender!"

Countless pirates in the underworld were left speechless.

"Marco… To make a king-level figure like Joker willingly submit… It's too hard to believe!"

"Marco, what on earth is his purpose?!"

The entire underground world was in an uproar.

…

New World.

Formerly the G-1 Branch, now Navy Headquarters.

"One of His Majesty's Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo, openly announced that he would submit to Marco?!"

All the officers at the Navy Headquarters who were in a meeting were completely taken aback when they saw the news!

They could sense an unprecedented pressure!

"Marco… What is he trying to accomplish?!"

"Is he aiming to build a brand new pirate crew?"

Several vice admirals were equally stunned.

"Even one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has submitted! Does Marco intend to make a major move?"

Kizaru said lazily, "Does the old man need to take him to Impel Down?"
