"Whoa, whoa, whoa!! Has he finally arrived!"
"The World's No.1 Sword Master, Shano!"
"Hey, don't push me, you're stepping on my foot!"
Upon hearing the lookout's words, the deck erupted in excitement, with pirates from various squads rushing towards the right side of the ship.
Marco too paused briefly, quickly unfurling his Cyan Flame Wings and flying into the sky.
Upon scanning the horizon, he indeed saw Vista's speedboat, adorned with the rose flag, slicing through the waves, carrying a figure unseen for quite some time.
"He's really coming."
Marco chuckled, landed back on the ground, looked at the crowding crewmates, and shook his head:
"Hey, you newcomers on the ship, don't look, hurry to the cabin while you still can."
"Eh?"
A newcomer who had just joined recently looked baffled, "Why, Captain Marco?"
"Haha, fool."
The old-timers nearby sneered:
"When a Sea Emperor visits alone, there's bound to be a clash of auras. Even if just a little is released, being affected isn't something you can endure!"
"Us old-timers might just manage..."
One of the old-timers hesitated, turned to Marco and asked, "Hey, do you think I can handle it, Captain?"
"Hard to say."
Marco replied leisurely, "That guy's Supreme King Haki is said to be of the world's highest caliber, likely rivaling our old man... huh?"
His expression suddenly changed as if sensing something, and he snapped his gaze upwards.
The sky that was once clear had somehow become densely clouded.
Black-red lightning flickered within the clouds, causing the air across the entire sea region to turn heavy and stagnant.
"From so far... tsk, what an exaggerated aura."
Marco squinted his eyes.
Captain of Squad 3, Diamond Jozu, and Captain of Squad 4, Saki, also appeared behind him.
"Did he come alone?"
Jozu twisted his neck and grinned, "Such a shame, I wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of people the Three Calamities under the Endgame are."
"Probably busy with something else."
Saki, wearing his usual chef's outfit, lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "Otherwise, you two, along with Vista, could meet 'Three Calamities' one-on-one."
"Zehahaha, don't be modest, Captain Saki!"
An old-timer with missing teeth immediately chimed in, "You are also one of the top cadres on our ship, how can you exclude yourself!"
"Me?"
Saki listened, feeling warm inside, patted Teach on the shoulder and smiled without reply.
Teach is an honest man, he loves what he hears, but he knows his own situation. He's somewhat half logistical, not as strong as the higher-ranked captains.
Facing the 'Three Calamities' might be too much for him.
At this moment, the sky roared with thunder, the black-red lightning grew even more intense, and the entire sea began to tremor violently.
Marco's demeanor hardened, he shouted, "He's here!"
Almost simultaneously, Vista's speedboat had stopped alongside the White Whale.
The black-haired, handsome boy carrying a sword, under Vista's invitation, gently stepped onto the White Whale's stairs.
Thud.
With a step.
The entire White Whale suddenly sank slightly, and silent ripples rose across the surrounding sea.
The uproar on the deck came to an abrupt halt, everyone instinctively held their breath, stared wide-eyed at the slender figure walking onto the deck.
Thud.
The boy, with a calm demeanor, lifted his right foot, stepped down for the second time.
A newcomer closest to the ladder felt his vision darken and fell to the ground.
"Hey, what's happened to you!"
The bald crewmate hastily reached out to help him, only to find in astonishment that the rest of his crewmates, like dominoes being toppled, began sprawling uncontrollably.
"You guys?"
The bald man widened his eyes, started to speak, but himself fell to the ground, unconscious.
Thud.
The third step descended, the boy finally reached the deck, raising his head slightly.
At that moment, the air on the White Whale seemed to freeze, even the surrounding foamy waves, solidified mid-air.
The pressure was even more overwhelming than imagined...
Marco, with a grim visage, glanced around to find not only newcomers, but many old-timers half-kneeling, clutching their chests, struggling to breathe.
Nearby, Teach lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, limbs twitching.
Thud.
With the fourth step, Whitebeard, who had been staring at the bow, finally laughed heartily and stood, thrusting the Great Glaive heavily to the ground!
"Gurararara! Enough already, Shano kid!"
Boom!
A similarly terrifying Supreme King Haki erupted at that moment, clashing with Shano's pressure in a mighty collision!
Crack!!!
The thick clouds above were split open instantly!
Two thick black-red lightning bolts, like serpentine dragons, rampaged into the distance, stretching to the far horizon—who knows how many kilometers away.
Because, there was no end in sight.
This scene was just like...
Just like the entire sky had been split in two!!!
"So this is what a clash between top-tier Supreme King Haki on the sea looks like..."
Marco's scalp tingled, a few cold sweat droplets appeared on his forehead.
