One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, opening the Eight Gates

Marco pushed through the crowd and slowly walked out.

He had a blond pineapple-shaped haircut, half-open sleepy eyes, and his hands in his pockets, looking somewhat nonchalant.

But at this moment, his eyes, which always seemed somewhat weary, gleamed with an unprecedented sharpness!

"Dad."

Marco looked at Whitebeard, his tone calm.

"Let me do it."

Whitebeard looked at his most trusted son, a complex emotion flashing in his sharp eagle eyes.

He certainly knew Marco's strength.

As the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco the Phoenix's strength is definitely among the top of the Yonko's first mate level!

but……

The eerie black flames and the incredibly powerful purple beams from Lynn had left a deep impression on him.

"Be careful, Marco."

Whitebeard finally nodded and gave a low, earnest instruction.

"Don't worry, Dad."

Marco grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, his eyes brimming with confidence.

He turned around and looked at Lynn, who was hovering above Kaido's dragon head, his sleepy eyes slightly narrowed.

"Kid, I have to admit, you are indeed very strong."

"But you're still too green to run wild on our Whitebeard Pirates' territory!"

The words have not yet been spoken!

call--!

A dazzling blue flame suddenly erupted from Marco's body!

The flames were not scorching; instead, they carried a cool, healing aura.

His arms instantly transformed into a pair of enormous blue flame wings!

Underfoot, sharp bird claws appeared!

Phoenix form!

"Take this, brat!"

Marco gave a low shout and his wings flapped suddenly!

His figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

next second!

He appeared in front of Lynn as if he had teleported!

fast!

too fast!

It was so fast that even many experts present could only barely catch a glimpse of a blue afterimage!

"So fast!"

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates couldn't help but glance at each other.

As expected of the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates!

This speed alone is enough to make them stand out from the crowd!

Marco's right foot, transformed into a bird's claw, was wrapped in dense Armament Haki and blue regeneration flames, and with a terrifying force that tore through the air, it kicked fiercely toward Lynn's head!

"Phoenix Seal!"

This kick was so powerful!

Enough to kick a small mountain apart!

Even a naval admiral would be sent flying by this kick!

Faced with this thunderous blow.

Lynn remained calm and composed.

However, a strange crimson light reappeared in his dark eyes.

The kaleidoscope slowly rotates.

Om-! ! !

The enormous blue skeleton reappeared, completely enveloping his small body!

Susanoo!

boom--! ! ! !

Marco's powerful kick, capable of splitting rocks and shattering monuments, landed squarely on the blue skeletal arm!

A deafening roar echoed through the sky once again!

A terrifying energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions!

Click!

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out!

Several clear cracks appeared on the seemingly indestructible blue skeletal arm!

"A crack has appeared!"

"As expected of Whitebeard's strongest lieutenant, the power of his attack is comparable to that of Shanks!"

The officers of the Red-Haired Pirates all showed expressions of surprise!

"As expected of Captain Marco!"

"too strong!"

"It seems that kid's defenses aren't as strong as I thought!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates erupted in thunderous cheers!

Kaido's enormous dragon eyes narrowed slightly.

This pineapple head is really something!

Marco landed a successful blow, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes!

With another flap of his wings, he deftly flipped his body in mid-air, and his other claw, wreathed in blue flames and Armament Haki, kicked fiercely at the crack in Susanoo with the force of thunder!

He wants to press on to win!

Let's go all out and completely shatter this turtle shell!

however.

Just as his attack was about to hit again.

Lynn glanced at him calmly with her crimson Sharingan eyes.

"Amaterasu!"

puff!

A cluster of jet-black flames appeared out of nowhere on Marco's wings, which were burning with blue flames!

"It's this trick again!"

"Captain Marco, watch out!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately gasped in surprise!

They witnessed the horrific state of Loxdale firsthand!

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed, and his Conqueror's Haki began to surge within him, ready to dispel the eerie black flames at any moment!

Everyone thought that Marco was going to be in trouble this time!

But they faced those black flames that clung to their bones like maggots.

Marco's face showed no sign of panic.

He didn't even glance at the black flames on his wings.

Suddenly, his wings, which were burning with blue flames, shook violently!

scoff!

A truly astonishing scene unfolded!

The part of the wing that was scorched by black flames was actually physically separated by him!

Just like a gecko shedding its tail!

The small piece of flesh, burning with black flames, fell from mid-air with a wisp of blue smoke, into the sea, and sizzled before quickly going out.

At the point where Marco's wing was broken, blue flames of regeneration burned fiercely!

New flesh and blood were growing rapidly, visible to the naked eye!

In the blink of an eye!

His wings were restored to their original state!

In perfect condition!

It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion!

"The black fire is ineffective!"

"Captain Marco's method is a perfect counter to that kid!"

"Kid, have you witnessed the power of the Phoenix?! This is the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

The crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates were excited and overjoyed.

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates all looked enlightened.

It turns out that besides Conqueror's Haki, physical cutting is also a way to avoid Black Flame... but very few people can actually regenerate after being cut.

Lynn the Demon Child wasn't very lucky.

And just then, we ran into Marco the Phoenix!

This kid... he's going to run into trouble!

Lynn raised a small eyebrow.

This pineapple head is really something.

It's amazing that he was able to neutralize Amaterasu in this way.

but……

His dark eyes darted around, and his small index finger slowly rose again.

At the fingertip, a tiny bit of purple energy began to condense.

Look at this starting stance.

Marco's lips curled into a smile.

They showed no sign of backing down.

As an immortal phoenix, he is least afraid of this kind of penetrating attack!

Not to mention Lynn's fingertip cannon.

He was not afraid of even Admiral Kizaru's laser beam!

"That trick won't work on Captain Marco!"

"That's a phoenix, a mythical beast!"

"Haven't you seen the difference yet, kid?"
