Marco flew back hundreds of meters.
He desperately flapped his wings.
Only then did he manage to avoid falling into the sea.
The horrified Marco, steadying himself, looked at Shaki in disbelief.
An unknown pirate almost took my old life with one punch.
If it weren't for his phoenix's super regeneration ability, he would have been dead or crippled in that defenseless state.
He was still shaken.
"Who are you?" Marco looked at Shaki warily.
One strike.
It made Marco feel that she had combat power no less than his own; her pure attack power seemed even slightly stronger than his.
Such combat power.
It was impossible for her to be unknown on the high seas.
"Shaki, the navigator of the Sun and Moon Pirates now, remember that!" Shaki's lips were crimson, her eyes seemed to flicker with red light, and her skin was unnaturally pale.
She looked more and more like the legendary vampire.
The Sun and Moon Pirates have someone like this? I've never heard of her.
Marco was completely bewildered.
Wasn't the rumor that only Kevin and Gion were strong among the Sun and Moon Pirates? With Kevin dead, only Gion remained.
Why did someone just appear out of nowhere?
And she's so terrifying.
Shaki?
Marco vaguely felt he had heard that name before.
But he couldn't recall where.
"Whitebeard Pirates' First Division Commander, is this all you amount to? Getting distracted during a fight."
Unbeknownst to him,
Shaki had already arrived in front of Marco.
With a heavy blow,
a giant punch tore through Marco's chest; his face instantly turned ashen, and like the surging force that spread to the horizon, he was sent flying again.
Healing flames
quickly covered his entire body, restoring his injuries.
"Terrifying."
Marco regained his focus, not daring to be distracted again.
He watched Shaki, who was rapidly approaching, with caution.
"Phoenix Imprint!"
It collided with Shaki's kicking foot, causing a monstrous surge of power. In the clash, both of them simultaneously assumed their Mythical Zoan forms, enhancing their own defenses.
"This isn't an ordinary Zoan Type; could it also be a Mythical Zoan?"
Marco was shocked once more.
She possessed the same terrifying ability as him.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Shaki and Marco clashed rapidly in the air, their azure flames constantly dissipating and reforming.
Shaki in her Vampire Form
was slowly enveloped by darkness.
The second special ability of the Mythical Zoan Vampire form was to create darkness, which stripped away vision in the dark, reduced the enemy's five senses, and could also, to some extent, diminish the enemy's Observation Haki perception.
In the darkness, Shaki in her Vampire Form was at her strongest.
Her five senses were doubled.
With one increasing and one decreasing,
the Vampire Form was most suitable for assassination and surprise attacks.
The more he fought, the more his heart trembled.
Marco began to consider retreating.
"Gion hasn't even made a move yet, and Shaki, who I'm fighting, is already so strong. Without Kevin, the Sun and Moon Pirates don't need anyone's protection. We were all wrong; the Sun and Moon Pirates Remnants are not at the point of being at anyone's mercy."
By himself,
he couldn't defeat her.
Unless the Old Man arrived.
But the Old Man probably wouldn't personally intervene.
Since it was an impossible task, Marco wanted to leave; he didn't want to fight to the death here.
Marco endured one of Shaki's attacks.
Using the force, he flew backward,
escaping the battlefield and the dark area that had almost covered a hundred meters.
"I was too rude today. Just pretend I never came," Marco said, looking at Gion.
Since I misunderstood,
and you're not interested in joining the Old Man,
and I can't defeat you,
then let's call it quits. Both sides go their separate ways; it's better for everyone.
Marco believed they wouldn't refuse.
Because in the vast sea, apart from Kaido of the Beasts, that unreasonable lunatic, no one else would willingly become a mortal enemy of the Whitebeard Pirates for no reason.
"If you can't win, then that's it. If you had won, and we wanted to stop, would you agree? Wouldn't you just forcibly take us back to the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Shaki flew towards Marco.
The dark area she created moved forward with her flight.
Marco's face turned green.
His lips moved,
but he couldn't speak.
Where did this monster come from? Not only was she strong, but her temper was also explosive, and she didn't show any respect for the Old Man.
"I've already said what I needed to say."
Marco turned around, disregarding everything.
He flew rapidly into the distance.
Just leave, I was just trying to save face for both sides by stopping, but since that's not possible, I'll go. What can you do about it?
"Divine Punishment!"
Suddenly, a giant pillar of lightning descended from the sky.
Marco, who was retreating, looked up in horror at the striking lightning pillar.
The speed of the lightning was too fast to react.
"Boom!!"
The lightning pillar pierced from above the clouds to the sea, causing the surface to boil, with lightning and thunder, stirring up monstrous waves.
Marco's figure was enveloped by the lightning.
The lightning appeared suddenly, then vanished just as suddenly.
Only the turbulent sea remained.
Marco's body was charred black, and blue flames quickly covered him, with electric arcs occasionally sparking from his surface.
His expression was bewildered.
... Please give flowers 0...
He opened his mouth, and black smoke billowed out.
He was numb from the electric shock.
"The power of lightning?" Marco stared blankly at Shaki.
It wasn't her.
Then he looked at Gion, but it didn't seem like her either.
Then who was it?
He saw a figure surrounded by lightning snakes above the Tomorrow in the distance.
It was Queen of the Pleasure Quarter Stussy.
"Did she get the legendary Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
That kind of violent lightning power could only be wielded by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
"It must be fake, is the Sun and Moon Pirates that strong?" Marco didn't believe it.
Shaki appearing was already shocking enough.
Now the Pleasure Quarter Queen also got the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; Marco began to doubt life itself.
Are these remnants?
They're all monsters!
Marco's gaze swept over Gion, Shaki, and Stussy.
... 0 0
He twitched the corner of his mouth.
I actually boasted, asking them to seek refuge under Whitebeard's name.
Even if Whitebeard came, they all have the strength to protect themselves and leave.
"Where did Kevin find this group of women?"
All things considered, the Sun and Moon Pirates has only been established for a little over a year.
On the sea, they are considered a new rookie Pirate Crew.
Yet they possess so many strong individuals, so many top-tier Devil Fruit users.
Marco then thought about the situation of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the situation of other Emperor Crew, realizing they couldn't compare.
Heh, it's too ridiculous.
"Not good." The biting strong wind, coupled with the lightning pillar descending from the sky.
Marco's face changed drastically.
Especially in his eyes, Gion also made a move, and her power far surpassed Shaki and the others.
He had always thought that he and Gion should be strong individuals of the same level.
Now it seems that Gion is much stronger than him.
"This is bad." Marco showed a bitter smile, filled with despair.
Facing the encirclement of the three.
Marco resigned himself to fate.
Two of them could also fly, and the speed of the lightning was even more terrifying.
He didn't even have the qualifications to escape.
"Rumble!"
On the dark sea, lightning continuously struck down.
Blazing flame sword energy, and wind blades surrounded the darkness.
The blue flames continuously extinguished, recovered, extinguished....
Three against one.
Shaki and Stussy are on the same level as Marco, and Gion surpasses Marco.
There's no chance of winning.
It lasted for over two hours.
Marco was panting heavily.
He looked despairingly at the lightning striking again, closing his eyes weakly.
I'm being ganged up on!
I have no power to fight back.
Father, save me!!.
