Teach clutched the bloodstained on his chest, writhing in pain on the ground and howling: "Marco, you bastard, are you trying to kill me!"
"I really do want to kill you."
Marco tilted his head, his lifeless fish-like eyes scrutinizing Blackbeard Teach: "I've been on that ship for thirty years, you're the only guy I want to take out..."
"Marco!"
Ace looked at Marco, who had just saved him, and felt a slight relief in his heart.
Thankfully...
Marco arrived just in time...
He nearly lost just a moment ago.
"Ignoring Dad's orders."
Marco glanced at Ace, reprimanding his younger brother: "Luckily Dad sent me to find you, otherwise you might have ended up like Saki, dead at this bastard's hands..."
"Hahahaha..."
Ace wasn't concerned about his near-death experience, his gaze once again turned to Teach, inviting him in a deep voice: "Let's take him down together and bring him back!"
"No time."
Marco shook his head, rejecting Ace's proposal.
The man with the pineapple hairstyle slowly raised his head to look at the sky, continuing solemnly: "You leave here first, I'll handle the rest..."
"I don't want to!"
Ace brushed his wrist, stubbornly still glaring at Teach: "I want to bring that guy back to apologize to Dad, I absolutely can't forgive him!"
"..."
Marco's eye twitched, seemingly a bit helpless at Ace's stubbornness: "You're still so impulsive, just take a closer look at the situation, BIG MOM and Kaido's bastards have already been drawn here by your battle..."
Fire Fist Ace involuntarily looked up at the sky, seeing two tall figures diving towards them!
"Ma ma ma ma..."
Charlotte Lingling stepped on her thundercloud, giggling as she flew towards them: "Marco, Fire Fist Ace, seems like a little unexpected surprise, ha ha ha..."
Hundred Beasts Kaido's dragon body slowly transformed into human form, becoming a tall man with bull horns, his hand clenching into a fist and eyes locked onto Marco: "Hey, Marco, I've always liked you, if you join my pirate crew, I'll let you go today!"
Hundred Beasts Kaido.
This is a man who inherently likes Zoan-type Devil Fruit Users.
As a result, the Hundred Beast Pirates have mainly consisted of Zoan-type Devil Fruit Users, Hundred Beasts Kaido has always wanted his pirate crew to be entirely composed of them, thus employing various means to obtain Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
Naturally.
Marco, with his Zoan-type: Bird-Bird Fruit: Mythical: Phoenix Form, has always been a subordinate Hundred Beasts Kaido has longed for.
"Well, that really disappoints your kindness."
Marco mercilessly rejected Kaido's invitation, tilting his head nonchalantly: "I don't want to join any other pirate crew..."
"In the past, that old guy Whitebeard protected you..."
Kaido tightened his fist, stepping towards Marco, his Supreme King Haki beginning to bloom: "Today, you won't have a say..."
Just capture them first...
He has plenty of means to make Marco submit!
This trip to Sky Island is an unexpected surprise, didn't anticipate both Marco, the 1st division captain, and Ace, the 2nd division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates would be here!
Among the Four Emperors...
They're mostly always in a hostile state.
Kaido has always wanted to fight the Whitebeard Pirates, capturing Whitebeard's two most troublesome sons here would alleviate Whitebeard's bothersome presence!
"You go first."
Marco urged Fire Fist Ace.
"None of you are leaving today."
Kaido stomped on the ground, instantly causing the surrounding landscape to tremble, his gaze locked onto Ace: "Fire Fist Ace, I remember you, bastard, previously made a big mess on my territory while I was away..."
This grudge...
Kaido has remembered for a long time!
Ace even hooked up with his daughter Yamato, or rather, son Yamato, together destroying the dragon-shaped statue symbolizing authority!
Just didn't expect Ace soon joined the Whitebeard Pirates, leaving Kaido no real means for revenge. Now, it's unexpected this guy appears before him!
However...
Kaido never intended to kill Ace.
After all, Ace isn't a weakling.
Both Fire Fist Ace and Phoenix Marco intrigue Hundred Beasts Kaido's heart, Kaido is a man who loves talent... as he gathers more support, he stands firmer on the ever-changing seas of the future!
"Lingling, help me capture them."
Hundred Beasts Kaido's gaze focused on the two, shouting orders without even raising his head: "Even if I owe you a favor!"
"You'll never repay it in this life, ha ha ha..."
Charlotte Lingling giggled, swinging her fist directly down towards Marco and Ace, arcs of black-red Supreme King Haki flickering on her fist!
"Quick, dodge!"
Marco's body burst into a mass of blue flames, forming a wall of fire instantly. The fire wall vanished under Charlotte Lingling's punch!
However...
The time was sufficient!
"You go first."
Marco again reminded Ace.
