Marco's stamina, among strong individuals, is relatively weak.
For nearly two hours, he continuously endured various powerful attacks.
He resisted while recovering.
Two hours.
Marco's stamina was at rock bottom.
His entire body was covered by lightning, and he was electrocuted numb. This time, the azure flames couldn't appear. No stamina meant he couldn't use his abilities.
Shaki kicked the numb Marco away.
He transformed into a streak of light, crashing into the sea near the Tomorrow.
Marco floated weakly on the surface of the sea.
He was tied up by two chains that flew out from the Tomorrow, bound and hung on the Tomorrow.
Marco closed his eyes.
He didn't want to look at his miserable and pathetic appearance.
He didn't beg for mercy, nor did he utter threats.
He played dead, accepting his fate.
"Captain, should we kill him? If Marco is killed, then so be it, but we're afraid that the Whitebeard Pirates have Marco's Vivre Card. If he's killed, Whitebeard will know immediately and will also guess it was us."
Back on the ship.
Shaki looked at Kevin "900".
"If he comes, he comes. Are we afraid of him? The number two figure is nothing special. I think Whitebeard's title of Strongest Man is just that; he can't compare to our Captain at all."
A domineering voice.
It came from Belo Betty.
She was the most fearless.
For anything, her first thought was always to just do it.
Kevin glanced at Belo Betty.
At least she still listened to me, her Captain, and obediently put on her clothes, zipping up immediately.
Actually, it looked better open.
After dealing with Marco, he should still let her open it.
Marco, with his eyes closed.
He didn't dare to use Observation Haki to perceive outside, but he could hear their voices.
Were they discussing how to deal with him?
No!
That's not right.
Captain?
Marco was greatly alarmed.
Who doesn't know the Captain of the Sun and Moon Pirates? It's Captain Kevin.
But he's been dead for twenty days.
Could it be that the Sun and Moon Pirates have already chosen a new Captain?
"Betty, killing Marco doesn't matter, and Whitebeard doesn't matter either."
Shaki explained to Belo Betty.
Marco couldn't help but inwardly chuckle.
Father doesn't matter?
If he didn't matter.
Why are you discussing it here?
You're still afraid.
Shaki's voice continued: "I'm just worried that Whitebeard will go crazy and chase after us, which would affect our plans."
Shaki was worried about this point.
Marco is Whitebeard's most valued son, so he definitely won't let it go.
What if during the Sabaody Archipelago.
Whitebeard also came.
Facing both Whitebeard and the Marines, it would be impossible to fight.
"Then what should we do?"
Everyone looked at Kevin.
The Captain makes the decisions.
Kevin sized up Marco, who was feigning unconsciousness, with interest.
"After dealing with the matters on the Sabaody Archipelago, I'll go to the Whitebeard Pirate Crew." This was Kevin's original plan.
It was only because Marco himself chased after him.
Otherwise.
During this period, Kevin did not want to have any friction with these Sea Emperors.
Once he started a war with Whitebeard or Kaido of the Beasts, it would definitely attract the attention of the entire world, and the news of his revival would be exposed.
His plan would naturally fail.
"Hmm? Ah?"
Kevin's voice.
Made Marco doubt his ears, like a bolt from the blue, his whole body numb.
A man?
The wanted posters issued by the World Government stated that apart from the captain Kevin, all members of the Sun and Moon Pirate Crew were women.
Countless pirates envied Kevin's good fortune.
Kevin died.
So, this man's voice is...
Marco suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were stunned.
He stared blankly at Kevin in front of him, his mind a blank, losing all ability to think.
"Ku-Ku-Kevin?!"
On wanted posters and in newspapers.
He had seen him countless times.
This was the most famous and prominent pirate in the Grand Line this year, Kevin.
"This is impossible, you're already dead." Marco couldn't believe it.
Photos of his death had spread throughout the Grand Line.
The Marines and the World Government had unequivocally announced his death; it was impossible for him to still be alive. For such a major event, the World Government simply couldn't lie.
"Excellent, this expression is excellent."
Kevin was very satisfied with Marco's current ghost-seeing expression.
If he was like this.
He believed the expressions of Marine Admiral Sengoku and the others would be even more spectacular.
"You're not dead?"
A living person, standing right in front of him.
No matter how unacceptable it was, Marco knew that they were wrong, the Marines were wrong, the World Government was wrong, the whole world was wrong.
The person everyone thought was dead.
Was still alive.
And living very well.
Living better and more freely than they had guessed.
"You tricked the entire world." Marco looked at Kevin, a mix of fear, shock, disbelief, and admiration all intertwined.
Marco wanted to cry.
He had become the first person to be deceived.
If he had known Kevin wasn't dead.
He would absolutely not have mentioned to his Pop the matter of reclaiming the Sun and Moon Pirates Remnants; he wouldn't even have thought about it.
Although he didn't know what method Kevin used to achieve this impossible feat.
But Marco knew.
This era was truly about to go wild.
And he himself was the first victim before it went wild...
Unlucky.
Marco gave a few dry laughs: "Mr. Kevin, actually, I have great respect for you, and our Whitebeard Pirate Crew also has respect for you. We mean no harm, believe me."
It wasn't exactly begging for mercy.
Nor was it a lie.
At most, the respect wasn't that much.
Marco was very flustered.
The Sun and Moon Pirate Crew, with or without Kevin, were two completely different concepts.
Besieged by four Admirals, he nearly killed one in return, and now Zephyr still seemed to be unconscious, and Akainu was severely injured. Such combat power made it so that no one in the Grand Line dared to question Kevin's strength.
Today, he had personally experienced it.
The strength of Gion, Shaki, and Stussy.
Marco dared not imagine.
If, because of him, his Pop ended up fighting the Sun and Moon Pirate Crew, what would be the ultimate fate of the Whitebeard Pirate Crew? Regardless of victory or defeat, it would not be easy. Thinking of this, Marco was filled with endless regret.
He had harmed the entire Pirate Crew.
"Is saying this useful now?"
Kevin countered.
Marco's voice caught in his throat.
He gave a wry smile. Yes.
It was useless.
For Pirates, talking about such things was useless.
"You'd best hope your standing in Whitebeard's heart is high enough. If I don't get what I want, you should know what your fate will be, right?"
Marco understood.
His fate was death.
And after his death, there would be a great war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Sun and Moon Pirates, and he, Marco, would become a sinner of his Pirate Crew even after his death.
An overwhelming sense of guilt.
It made Marco wish he were dead.
"Betty, dismember him, lock him in a Sea Stone cage, and then immerse him in the sea," Kevin said, looking at Belo Betty.
"Understood."
Belo Betty spread her hands: "ROOM!"
Space emanated from her hands, covering the entire Pirate ship.
Belo Betty picked up a blade.
She aimed it at Marco and made several cuts through the air.
Marco looked down in shock at his dismembered body, yet he felt no pain at all.
This bizarre ability.
It sent shivers down Marco's spine once again.
Could it be that every ordinary member of Tomorrow was a monster? All possessed terrifying abilities.
What kind of Pirate Crew was this, after all!
Belo Betty pointed casually.
Marco's dismembered parts instantly vanished, and the next moment, all but his head appeared at the bottom of the ship, submerged in the seawater.
As for Marco's head.
It appeared on the lowest deck of the ship's cabin.
This level was the prison. After the Tomorrow was first built, Kevin had Franky and the others set the lowest level of the ship as an indestructible prison, spending a fortune to build Sea Stone cells.
It was of great use to Kevin.
Marco became the first occupant.
