One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

"Ororororororo—!!!!"

Kaido's triumphant laughter, reaching its peak, once again resounded through the sky, causing ripples to spread across the sea!

His enormous dragon head nuzzled Lynn's delicate face affectionately, his fiery dragon eyes filled with undisguised pride and arrogance!

"Did you see that?! Red-haired brat! White-bearded old man!"

"This is my son!"

"Your officials are utterly insignificant in front of my son!"

Kaido's arrogant and domineering voice was like a series of resounding slaps to the faces of everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates.

It's burning hot!

The white-bearded old face, weathered by time, was so somber it seemed to drip water.

The captains behind him, including Marco, Joz, and Vista, all had livid faces and their fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

What a shame!

This is absolutely the greatest humiliation the Whitebeard Pirates have ever suffered since their inception!

Red-haired Shanks's expression was equally grim.

Although he has a carefree personality, one can imagine the anger in his heart when he watched his companions being defeated so easily and mocked by Kaido to his face.

"Kaido, don't get too cocky!"

Just then, a voice, tinged with a hint of languor yet exuding unwavering determination, rang out from among the Whitebeard Pirates.

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 the white-bearded man, his tone calm.

"Let me do it."

The white-bearded man looked at his most trusted son, a complex emotion flashing in his sharp, eagle-like eyes.

He certainly knew Marco's strength.

As the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' first division, Marco the Phoenix is ​​definitely among the top-tier Yonko commanders!

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, admonishing remark.

"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 head, his sleepy eyes slightly narrowed.

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

"But you're still too green to cause trouble on our Whitebeard Pirates' territory!"

Before the words were even finished!

call--!

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

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

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

Underfoot, sharp bird claws appeared!

Phoenix form!

"Take this, kid!"

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 captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' first division!

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!"

That kick was powerful and heavy!

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!

Bang--!!!!

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 the Red-Haired Boss!"

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

"As expected of Captain Marco!"

"That's incredible!"

"It seems that brat'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 his advantage!

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!

"That 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 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!

Intact and undamaged!

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

"The black fire was ineffective!"

"Captain Marco's method of completely countering that kid!"

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

The crew of the Whitebeard Pirates were 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 isn'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!

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

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

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

"This technique might work against Yasopp, but against Captain Marco? Dream on!"

The people below, whether from the Whitebeard Pirates or the Red-Haired Pirates, all remained calm and composed.

No one knew better than them how powerful Marco's regenerative abilities were.

Even if such a penetrating wound hits, so what?

Unless there are restrictions related to sea stone.

Otherwise, it's not worth mentioning!

"Special... Light Kill... Cannon!"

Lynn ignored them.

The announcement, delivered in a childlike voice yet carrying an aura of destruction, rang out once more!

call out--!!!

A purple spiral beam of light, condensed to its extreme, suddenly shot out from Lynn's fingertips!

Almost at the same time.

Marco also kicked Susanoo hard!

next moment.

Susanoo completely collapsed.

Marco's chest was also pierced through by the Special Beam Cannon... Blood, mixed with blue flames, spurted out from his back!

Without any hesitation.

Marco quickly activated the regenerative flames within his body, attempting to repair his wounds.

however.

For the first time, Marco's usually somewhat languid face showed an expression of extreme terror!

He was horrified to discover!

The wound on my chest, pierced by the purple beam, is... it just won't heal!
