When accurate news reached the Navy headquarters, all the sailors there were shaken.
"Impossible! How could Admiral Kizaru be killed so easily?!"
There were many sailors with similar thoughts.
Even the remaining vice-admirals at headquarters couldn't believe this fact.
The terror of the Shining Fruit lies in its speed—the fastest in the world. With Kizaru's strength, no matter the odds, he shouldn't have been killed!
Not to mention the other marines.
Even Akainu himself was equally surprised.
His original plan was perfect.
But now, news came that Kizaru had died early.
"Unlikely."
Akainu's face turned dark, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He knew Kizaru's character and abilities better than anyone; if Kizaru couldn't win, he could definitely escape, and he would never have been taken down by Marco.
Otherwise, Akainu would not have sent Kizaru to engage the vanguard.
But...
When that shocking photo arrived, every sailor was stunned. Their faces went slack, and their hearts felt like they were struck by three thousand bolts of lightning, freezing them on the spot, unable to accept reality for a long time.
When Akainu saw those photos, he nearly lost control on the spot.
...
The once-golden city had long been reduced to ruins.
Crash~~!
Admiral Ryokugyu, who had been sent flying once again, shot out of a deep crater, trailing dust and debris as he emerged with overwhelming power.
"Whoosh!~!"
A roar burst from Admiral Ryokugyu's mouth.
It shook the heavens and the earth.
Ryokugyu was completely berserk!
In his prime, he had clashed head-on with Marco twice, only to be sent flying both times.
"You, who just endured a life-and-death battle with Kizaru, actually knocked me away twice."
Admiral Ryokugyu had wisps of white smoke rising from his body.
His green hair covered his entire face, obscuring any expression he might have had.
His voice was like the roar of a primordial beast—low and terrifying.
Just hearing it made people's hearts skip!
"This is a great shame I have never experienced before!"
Ryokugyu's voice roared with fury.
Rumble!
His massive, muscular body suddenly charged at Marco.
An immensely powerful white energy gathered behind him, and the deafening sonic boom was like thunder, showcasing the terrifying power of his assault.
"Immortal Phoenix Marco… Fall before me!!!"
In almost an instant, Ryokugyu was upon Marco, throwing a massive punch.
This punch, carrying the weight of mountains, surged with immense energy and a deafening boom as it barreled toward Marco.
"If you think you can kill me… You're far from worthy!"
Marco's voice rang out at that very moment.
He suddenly launched his own punch!
As soon as he threw the punch, endless flames surged from his fist.
For a moment, it was as bright as the piercing sun, dazzling to behold.
His flame-clad fist, as if holding a blazing sun, traced a path like a fiery dragon in the air.
With a fierce and imposing momentum, it charged forth!
Boom!
The strongest punches of both clashed instantly!
The resulting explosive noise was like an endless series of thunderbolts, shaking the heavens and the earth!
A terrifying explosion erupted immediately!
Waves of blue flames, accompanied by layers of white energy, radiated like ripples, bursting outward in all directions!
At that moment...
Ryokugyu's eyes, fierce like a beast's, widened, and his pupils dilated!
The fury that had once filled them was instantly replaced by shock!
Roar!
The fire dragon roared!
The earth-shaking flames from Marco's punch transformed into a long dragon, engulfing Ryokugyu's entire arm!
Not only that, the terrifying flame dragon swallowed the entire form of Ryokugyu in an instant!
Rumble~~~!
With the eruption of the hurricane, the endless ruins in all directions were directly swept away. As the dust rolled out of the sky, Ryokugyu, who had been incredibly violent and eager to kill, was unexpectedly overpowered by Marco.
Boom again!
The horrifying flames that burst forth from Marco's punch propelled Ryokugyu even further!
All around, smoke billowed!
Boom!
This astonishing counterattack surged from one end of the Golden City, cutting through the entire expanse at an incomparably rapid pace!
A trail of heavenly flames raced through the Golden City, accompanied by rising clouds of dust!
Such a scene made everyone tremble.
The countless sailors aboard the warship covered their mouths, desperate to suppress the horrifying screams threatening to escape.
At this moment, they were all consumed by fear!
Even the vice-admirals at headquarters were frozen, afraid to even breathe!
Admiral Ryokugyu, in a state of rage, had been blasted away by Marco with such a shocking punch!
And that booming trajectory spanned the entirety of the massive Golden City!
All the sailors were stunned, gazing at the swirling smoke and the trail of flames that streaked across the entire Golden City.
Doflamingo and the others also widened their eyes in disbelief.
They couldn't fathom that Marco, who had just battled Kizaru, was still so incredibly powerful and unmatched!
Even Kuzan, whose gaze was typically calm and composed, felt his eyes widen in shock for the third time in such a short span!
And the one responsible for all this astonishment was none other than...
Immortal Phoenix Marco!
Finally, some sailors couldn't contain their tremors and exclaimed,
"This, is this still human?! He's a monster!"
No!
Not a monster!
In the eyes of all the sailors, Marco at this moment was even more terrifying than any monster!
One moment, he had used formidable strength to fell Admiral Kizaru, and in the next, without even a moment to recover, he once again displayed an unparalleled stance, landing three punches that sent Admiral Ryokugyu flying!
"Even Admiral Ryokugyu is no match for him!"
"We have no chance of winning!"
"Oh my God! Who can defeat him? Who can take down Immortal Phoenix Marco?!"
Aboard the densely packed warship, countless sailors were gripped by terror, their bodies trembling as they cried out in panic!
