Chapter 146: The Brand New Phoenix Marco!
Chen Ye did not say another word.
For a warrior who has already made up his mind, any words are superfluous.
He let out a low shout, and his figure flashed like a ghost, instantly appearing in front of Marco in his phoenix form.
"bring it on!"
Marco's high-pitched phoenix cry tore through the sky, and his bird eyes were filled with nothing but a madness that disregarded life and death.
"good!"
Chen Ye snorted softly.
Then, without hesitation, he slammed the condensed "little sun" in his hand into Marco's phoenix-shaped chest!
Time stood still.
one second.
two seconds.
Marco's enormous phoenix body remained frozen in place, motionless.
next moment.
"Ouch, that hurts!!!"
A piercing scream exploded from deep within Marco's throat, the pain in his voice as if he had suffered all the tortures of hell.
boom!
The blue flames all over his body instantly dissipated.
evaporation.
Annihilation.
It wasn't extinguished, but erased from the very root of its existence.
Divine fire enters the body.
Marco's body no longer belongs to him.
The little sun inside him wasn't burning, it was decomposing.
Every cell of his that had been fused with the Devil Fruit factor, his resilient bones, and the life-giving blood flowing through him were all dismantled into their most primitive particles in the face of that domineering golden divine power.
pain.
The word is too light.
The excruciating pain is beyond words!
Every inch of his body, inside and out, every cell, was simultaneously pierced by millions of red-hot silver needles.
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
Marco's enormous phoenix body tumbled and struggled in mid-air, its huge wings flapping wildly, creating a gale that blew the giant rocks on the ground into dust.
Cracks appeared on the surface of his body, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.
There was no blood in the crack.
Only dazzling golden light.
Beneath his body lies not flesh and blood, but a sun about to explode.
The azure flames of regeneration retreated steadily, their light visibly dimming.
Marco's vitality is fading away at an unprecedented rate.
His Devil Fruit ability, the foundation of his "Phoenix" status, is being destroyed by that sacred yet ruthless power.
Give up...
A voice echoed deep within his mind.
It's too painful... Give up the resistance, and it will all be over...
You will find eternal peace...
Waves of excruciating pain assaulted his will.
Marco's consciousness began to fade, and his struggles grew weaker and weaker.
The thought of giving up on everything grew stronger and stronger.
Yes... It hurts so much...
That's it... Let's end it here...
The moment of mental breakdown.
Images flashed through his mind.
Old Man, Ace, Jozu, Vista, Thatch...
The faces of every member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
They were laughing at him, shouting at him.
"Marco!!!"
"The captain of the First Division!!!"
"You are the pride of our Whitebeard Pirates!!!"
No.
I cannot fall.
I am the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, the shield that protects this family.
If I can't even endure this little bit of pain, what kind of captain am I?
How can I protect my family now?
"roar--!!!"
A roar exploded in his mental world.
The will, about to be submerged, was infused with endless fuel and ignited instantly.
give up?
Screw giving up.
Marco stopped struggling and resisting.
He made a decision that surprised even Chen Ye.
He opened himself up, and with a raging torrent of will, he frantically met the sun god fire that was raging within him.
Come on.
Wasn't it to temper me?
Then let it come even more fiercely.
I, Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, am not Whitebeard's son if I even frown.
boom!
This resolute will touched some kind of power.
The Devil Fruit factors that were being broken down stopped collapsing.
They no longer passively endured the divine fire's tempering, but began to actively, greedily, and frantically entangle, collide, and merge with those strands of golden solar divine power.
This is a dangerous process.
Two different forces unfolded a primal fusion within his body.
Marco's body is his battlefield.
His azure regeneration flames were crushed into dust in the battle, dissipating to the extreme and disappearing completely.
Just as the "cyan" within him was about to be erased, and his entire body was about to transform into a pure golden energy vessel, at the very last moment...
At the heart of this ruin of destruction and rebirth.
In the deepest part of that golden ocean formed by divine power.
A wisp...
A brand new flame was born.
It is no longer cyan.
It is a golden flame.
The moment this wisp of golden flame appeared, it immediately displayed a destructive and domineering power completely different from the blue flame!
It swallowed the remaining fragments of blue flame and turned them into nourishment.
When the still rampant power of the sun god came into contact with this newly born golden flame, it no longer destroyed, but became docile and actively merged into it.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
This golden spark grew at an unimaginable speed.
A single strand becomes a bundle.
One bunch turned into one ball.
A ball of flames transformed into a raging inferno that burned across the entire world.
Ah, that feels so good!
The mournful cries ceased.
Instead, a clear, high-pitched voice filled with the joy of new life emerged.
A thick golden beam of light erupted from Marco's body, shooting into the sky, tearing through the clouds, and piercing through heaven and earth.
The entire deserted island trembled violently under this sacred and majestic aura.
Several kilometers away on the Moby Dick, the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were drinking and looking out on deck, witnessed this earth-shattering scene in horror.
"Th...what is that?!"
One of the crew members pointed into the distance, dropping the wine barrel he was holding.
"What terrifying energy! Is that Lord Chenye and Captain Marco?"
The white-bearded man suddenly stood up, his double-eagle eyes, now at their peak, fixed on the golden pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth, sensing the familiar yet strange sacred aura within it.
He smiled.
"Guralalalalalala..."
The laughter was filled with unparalleled joy and pride.
"It seems my son..."
"He seized the opportunity that belonged to him!"
On the deserted island, the golden light faded.
The figure appeared in mid-air.
It is no longer the blue phoenix.
It is a divine bird whose entire body is burning with brilliant golden flames.
His physique was even more handsome and slender, with his wings spread wide, blocking out the sun.
Each feather is cast from the purest gold, flowing with the sacred glow of liquid flames.
He simply hovered there, yet the aura he exuded was terrifying.
It contains a destructive power that can burn everything in its path.
The golden phoenix circled once in the air before landing on the ground.
The brilliant golden flames receded into his body, and he transformed back into human form.
He still had that lazy look with his pineapple-head hairstyle, but now, a faint, stardust-like golden flame swirled around him.
His half-open eyes were filled with excitement.
He raised his hands and looked at the golden flame that appeared at his command in his palms.
He could sense the power contained within that flame.
I've become stronger!
maybe.....
Perhaps I've just touched the threshold of becoming emperor!
Marco opened his mouth, his voice filled with a sense of fantasy and disbelief.
"This is..."
"The power of the sun?"
The next second, he raised his head, his lazy eyes wide open, bursting with an unprecedented desire, curiosity, and burning fighting spirit.
He looked at Chen Ye, who was always smiling, his eyes full of gratitude!
