Chapter 43: Phoenix, Marco

Moby Dick.

Marco walked through his companions who were drinking and playing on the deck with a serious expression and came to the center of the deck.

Looking at the majestic figure who was drinking heavily, he said: "Pops, it's bad. We just received an emergency distress communication from the Witch. Big Sister Whitey Bay is in danger!"

"Bang!"

"Who is it? Who dares to touch my people?"

The people drinking and playing around them changed their expressions and pricked up their ears.

"It's the Marines!"

Whitebeard wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and frowned, saying: "The Marines dare to take action against my people? Who is it? Akainu or Aokiji?"

"Neither. It's a Marine Major named Karl. He single-handedly defeated Big Sister Whitey Bay's Witch Pirates. Even Big Sister Whitey Bay is no match for him."

Hearing that it was a Marine Major, a cold glint flashed in Whitebeard's eyes: "Gurarara~ A Marine Major dares to touch my people. He really is seeking death!"

"Marco, do you know the location?"

Marco nodded: "Of course, Big Sister Whitey Bay is not far from us. I can get there in about half an hour!"

Whitebeard drank a large bowl of wine and then said: "Go support Whitey Bay immediately. Make sure Whitey Bay comes back alive."

"As for that Major, just kill him directly! The Whitebeard Pirates aren't something any small fry can step on!"

"Go! Marco, teach those damn Marines a good lesson!"

"Captain Marco, hurry back! It's been a long time since I've seen that Whitey Bay! Bring her back to drink together!" ===== CHAPTER 72 =====

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

Whitebeard looked at this harmonious scene and couldn't help but let out a "Gurarara" laugh. Wasn't this exactly what he had pursued his whole life?

And precisely because of this, anyone who dared to harm his family had to pay a heavy price!

Marco nodded with a smile. A Marine Major, so what? Even if he could suppress Whitey Bay, it didn't count for much. He was the Phoenix Marco!

Immediately, he spread his wings, transformed into the Phoenix, and flew into the sky.

The Witch.

"No!"

Whitey Bay, pinned firmly to the deck, let out a sorrowful cry. Even if she was angry, it was also unwillingness.

Karl didn't take action against her, but he killed her subordinates one by one right in front of her. In the blink of an eye, the deck was covered in corpses.

And those pirates who had lost their backbone fled in all directions, playing a game of cat and mouse with Karl.

It was just a pity that in front of Karl, who had mastered Observation Haki, they had nowhere to hide.

"Swish~"

Another pirate fell. Karl slowly retracted Karasu. His white Marine uniform was already stained red with blood.

"Now there's only you left!"

"You devil! You will definitely pay the price!"

Karl squatted beside Whitey Bay and patted her face contemptuously: "Devil? That's right, to scum Move Move Like you, I am indeed a devil!"

"You are very lucky to have Whitebeard's protection..."

"Brrr brrr brrr~"

Karl picked up the "lecherous" Den Den Mushi wearing sunglasses and said: "Moshi Moshi?"

"Hmm oh~ You actually answered the phone! That's scary! I thought you were already dead!"

Karl:......

How little confidence do you have in me! This Whitey Bay is at the level of being kicked down in one move in front of you. If she could kill me, she'd be awesome!

"You should say that to the people of the Witch Pirates."

"This is troublesome. If I remember correctly, that Ice Witch should be a veteran crew member of Whitebeard's!"

Karl looked down at Whitey Bay, whose eyes were full of resentment, and sneered: "Don't worry, she's still alive, but everyone else has been killed by me."

"You kid, you really are ruthless! Alright, since she's not dead, don't touch her either. I'll be there soon."

After saying this, Huang Yuan hung up the phone. Karl also put away the Den Den Mushi, feeling a bit helpless in his heart.

It was still because his strength was too weak! This world was a world of the strong, and everything depended on strength.

It was precisely because Whitebeard was strong that the Marines were wary and unwilling to take the huge risk of a full-scale war with him.

This also led to the situation Karl was facing now: he could have easily killed Whitey Bay, but he had to spare her life, otherwise, he would invite Whitebeard's wrath and implicate other Marine colleagues.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Karl couldn't be bothered to deal with the immobile Whitey Bay. He leaned casually against the railing, took a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and began to puff away, quietly waiting for Huang Yuan's arrival.

In the sky, Marco was getting closer and closer to the Witch.

"That is... that's right, Big Sister Whitey Bay's ship, how..."

Marco lowered his altitude and, after seeing the scattered pirate corpses on the ship, felt a sense of inexplicable anger. Was this really the work of a Marine?

But after seeing Karl, who was puffing away by the railing in a blood-red Marine uniform, he roared: "Go to hell! Marine!"

Karl's gaze tightened. He exploded backward from the railing. The next second, a bird-man covered in blue flames crashed into the railing.

"Boom~"

"Marco! Is that you? Hurry and save me!"

Marco hurriedly looked up, only then seeing Whitey Bay pinned to the deck by swords. Before, he had thought it was a corpse.

"Big Sister Whitey Bay! Damn it! How dare you do this!"

Marco looked angrily at Karl, who was standing to the side with a calm expression. Karl shrugged: "I'm a Marine, is there a problem?"

"Hmph! Very well, since that's the case, prepare to die!"

Marco in his beast form flapped his wings and flew into the sky, flying further and further away, turning into a black dot in Karl's line of sight until he disappeared.

But Karl didn't dare to be careless at all. He kept his Observation Haki fully open, cautiously watching the sky.

A whistling sound came from above. Karl stomped his left foot on the deck and used Shave to instantly leave the spot.

The next second, Marco kicked at the place where Karl had been standing.

"Such fast reaction, could it be Observation Haki? No wonder he could defeat Big Sister Whitey Bay."

Marco put away some of his contempt, changed back to human form, and blasted a punch at Karl.

The speed was very fast, almost impossible to dodge. Karl had no choice but to put his arms together and use Armament Haki hardening to block Marco's punch.

"Armament Haki! I didn't expect a mere Marine Major to be able to master two types of Haki at the same time! You really have some skills!"

"Hahaha, you flatter me. I just awakened it not long ago!"

Marco's expression changed: "Don't flatter yourself. I wasn't praising you!"

Then Marco began to launch a storm-Move Move Like attack on Karl, making Karl miserable.

Marco's strength was far greater than Whitey Bay's, at least in terms of physique, he was far superior to Karl, not to mention his Haki cultivation.

Karl could only barely support himself by relying on the healing effect provided by the Holy Light.

"Boom~"

Marco kicked Karl away, and the latter crashed heavily into the mast pillar, almost breaking it.

"Kid! Weren't you very arrogant just now?" ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
