Whoosh!"
In an instant, all the pirates were in an uproar. They never thought that the blue flame could actually possess the power of freezing, nor did they anticipate how quickly their boss—a man with a bounty of over 600 million—would be defeated!
"That blue flame is strange! It actually has freezing powers! Is the ability of the Mythical Zoan really that bizarre?!"
"Not true! I saw the frozen boss's eyes move! The power of this freezing ability is far less than that of the Ice-Ice Fruit! The boss is not dead! It won't be long before he breaks through the ice and breaks free!"
"Let's go together! Hold on! Wait for the boss to emerge and then we can take on Marco together! Even if we can't defeat him, we only need to delay Marco, and Captain Jack, who was notified, will definitely arrive!"
"Up!!"
At first, the group of pirates was frightened, shocked by the sudden turn of events. However, they were pirates serving under the Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts. Even the squadron members had experienced countless battles and would not cower simply because their enemy was Marco.
Thus, this group of pirates charged toward Marco in unison.
"The power of this freezing move really can't kill you!"
Marco hadn't expected to freeze Dressk to death. Observing the rush of pirates, a slight smirk appeared on Marco's face. Although the freezing ability wasn't particularly powerful, he knew not to underestimate it!
Suddenly, Marco raised his leg and, with a loud bang, kicked the frozen Dressk into the sea!
"Boom!!!"
As expected, the massive ice sculpture fell into the sea with a thunderous crash, sending waves several meters high into the air!
Even if Dressk managed to break free from the freeze, or if the ice thawed, all that awaited him… Would be death!
"!!!"
The pirates who charged in saw this scene and could hardly believe their eyes. Their boss had just been kicked into the sea!
"The boss is like a dry duck! Go save him!!!"
"Useless lot, jump in!"
The pirates hastily divided themselves. Hundreds of them rushed to the edge of the deck, preparing to leap into the sea to rescue Dressk. Meanwhile, the remainder of the pirates charged toward Marco, shouting in determination. They knew that on this pirate ship, only their boss stood a chance against Marco in a duel, and they… could only hope to hold him off for a short while!
This was indeed a wise choice!
Or so they thought.
Whoosh~~Whoosh!
Before the pirates of the Beast Pirates could jump from the deck into the water, massive blue flame wings, each over ten meters long, sprouted from behind Marco. He took to the air, his enormous flame wings unfurling downward, forming countless dense conical blue flame pillars!
Xiuxiuxiu!!!
The concentrated blue flames shot toward the unsuspecting pirates below!
Poof, poof!
In just a matter of seconds, those pirates who attempted to dive into the sea to save their boss were all frozen in place, unable to move, even those who had tried to hold onto the ship's railing while preparing to jump—frozen solid!
"We'll go down to the grave together!"
Marco flapped his colossal flaming wings, gliding downward, and suddenly sent the frozen pirates crashing into the sea with mighty slaps, resulting in loud splashes!
"This!"
The remaining pirates, who had originally rushed toward Marco, were left stunned. They had just charged in only to witness Marco soaring away as their comrades… were all frozen and hurled off the ship!
"Don't feel sorry for them… After all, you will join them soon!"
Marco tucked his blue flaming wings away and stood defiantly at the bow of the ship, surveying the hundreds of pirates before him.
At that moment.
Marco stood alone on the ship's bow, facing off against hundreds of pirates from the Beast Pirates.
Whoo-la-la~!!
Suddenly, a fierce sea breeze swept through, tossing debris from the battle across the deck. With a cracking sound, the immense mast that displayed the flag of the Beast Pirates suffered serious damage from the fight, and with a loud, breaking sound, it collapsed with a crash!
"Run!!!"
The hundreds of pirates before Marco, faced with his overwhelming presence, chose not to continue fighting but to retreat… in sheer panic!
Initially, they had harbored a desire to fight, but in this moment… they were paralyzed with fear at the thought of Marco!
Small boats hung at the side of the massive pirate ship; as long as they jumped onto a boat and set off to sea, they could escape!
"You can't escape!"
Marco advanced step by step toward the panicking pirates…!
The battle had already begun!
The enemy was still alive… The struggle would not cease!
Marco had begun to adapt to this perilous world filled with predatory pirates, and even… started to appreciate this solitary lifestyle!
This sea was one of danger, a sea filled with unknowns, but also a sea brimming with opportunities and anticipation, a vast ocean that ignited the spirit of adventure!
