In the middle of the pitched battle that was taking place, Rofta and Marc were killing whoever was in front of them, but they were running out little by little, they were outnumbered, as for Lyonel he was facing the Decalvan brothers and Squard, coming to a point which surprised the Decalvan brothers, as Urouge was tearing the place apart with his powerful Haki covered punches, there was a group that excelled in long range weapons and these were all the ones that Van Augur had personally taught.
As the great battle raged on, the Shirohige commanders were suffering in ways they had never imagined.
Marco was having trouble dealing with Katahara and the worst thing was that he couldn't even land a single punch, instead he had been receiving not only cuts, but also lightning and fire blows.
Marco: So you have the fruit of imagination…
Receiving in response a laugh that caught everyone's attention.
Katahara: Fruit of the imagination… what kind of shit is that Marco… I'm not a user of any fruit, this is my own power… why don't you look around, just give up and I'll spare their lives, maybe you can hold on for a bit but what about your companions, your crew, your numbers were not enough.
Marco was so furious that the veins stood out from his forehead, but he observed how the subordinate Captains who commanded all the pirates were suffering casualties that he never imagined, he turned to see the other division commanders, they were all in a sorry state, none of them I was going to be able to survive if this continued, so I made a decision.
Marco: I will not let this happen…. Nashi no Tsubute.
Fully transforming into his phoenix form, and taking flight, he dropped his feathers on all the commanders healing them little by little, but before they even got close to the pitched battle, he was intercepted by Katahara in midair.
Katahara: Where the hell are you going… Ranton: Photon Cannon
Katahara stretches out one of her hands which light energy is transmitted to it, then fires a single, but giant, light cannon,
That light took Marco by surprise, but he was able to defend himself in time.
Frame: Fujiazami.
Forming a whirlpool of protective fire in front of him, from his wings, to block the attack, but it wasn't enough.
The attack pierced through his protective whirlpool like paper, hitting Marco, with all its power, causing him to crash to the ground.
That cannon of light surprised everyone present, they even stopped facing their opponents to see Marco and start screaming and desperately trying to reach him, being blocked.
Ace: Marco…. This should not be like that…
Laffitte: The captain is trying new things… hohohohoho, your dear friend is finished just like all your comrades.
Jozu wanted to get closer to Marco, but was thrown tens of meters away by a strong punch from Agrom.
Agrom: Where the fuck do you think you're looking, while you're facing me...
Becoming even more aggressive in his battle.
Marco tried to get up little by little from the ground, everything around him was totally destroyed.
Katahara: That was a new attack, what did you think… Now I understand why Kurohige would finish you off so easily.
Marco was surprised at such a statement.
Katahara: Whoa! Of course, you don't know, I finished off Marshall D. Teach, while passing through Impel Down, you should thank me, don't you think...
Marco tried to stand up, but it was difficult for him the attack had damaged him more than he expected,
As Marco transformed into his hybrid form, he felt a force he couldn't see press him to the ground.
Katahara: Why in such a hurry…
Marco tried with all his might to move, even an inch.
Katahara: There's no way you can move.
As he stretched out his hand towards Marco, Marco began to levitate, only to be drawn into Katahara's hand.
Katahara: This battle was meant to end this way, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being so weak.
Obviously the Shirohige pirates weren't weak at all, the problem was that their opponents were twice as strong as them.
Marco was grabbed by the neck as he was pierced by Katahara's Shodai Kitetsu.
Marco: Wrong…
Spitting out a mouthful of Blood.
At that moment, everyone present saw Marco being pierced by Katahara's Katana while they were in the air.
At that moment they felt the true terror, leaving everything they were doing to turn to look at Marco.
Katahara, grabbing Marco's head, pierced his stomach with her Shodai Kitetsu, as she began to press her hand.
At that moment, Katahara detached Marco's head from his body, splattering blood all over the place, while still holding the body pierced by his Katana.
All the Shirohige commanders were furious to excess, desperately trying to rescue Marco from Katahara's hands.
That image terrified everyone present, everyone who came to avenge their father.
Katahara: That is their leader, those who want to continue the battle will suffer the same fate, those who surrender now will be forgiven.
At that time at least 20 people threw their weapons among them was Doma who was part of Shirohige's subordinate Captains.
Provoking the fury of all those present.
Katahara: Kill everyone.
Starting once again the bloody battle,
Laxus had finished his battle, against Speed Jiru and Fossa, piercing their bodies with his own hands covered in Haki and black lightning, to head to support the crew who were beginning to be outmatched little by little.
Augur, on the other hand, started using energy bullets and energy cannons, piercing Izou's limbs, leaving him lying unable to hold his guns as he stomped on his chest hard.
Visa clashed swords with Shiryu, violently and without a fixed pattern, he was totally furious and only thought of finishing off Shiryu to attack Katahara, Shiryu took advantage of this, piercing Vista's chest, while showing him a smile, and then cut him off. neck, ending Vista's life.
Blamenco and Rakuyo were lying on the ground, covered in blue flames as Dabi made his way to the battlefield where Laxus and the crew were.
Namur and Blenheim were totally subdued by Nico Robin, who did not end their lives, he only held her prisoners, while he formed a sedan chair in which he hoped that everything would end.
Curiel and Kingdew were in the worst state, both of them were being consumed by the poison, you could even see part of their bones where Drust's poison had stabbed them, with his Scythe.
Haruta and Atmos were on the ground, missing some of their limbs, which had suffered from Aslaug's superhuman strength.
Ultimately, the remnants of Shirohige's crew had been defeated and killed.
Katahara: Now that we're done with everyone, only you are left...
The whole place was covered with corpses, you could even see some who were part of the Darks Crows, the only one that was alive out of all the commanders of Shirohige was, Portgas D. Ace commander of the 2nd division.
Ace: You…damn why, why.
While showing tears of rage seeing all his comrades killed around him.
Katahara: After so many years…
Ace: I should have ended you on that island, so all this wouldn't have ended like this...
Katahara: You're alive only because I felt sorry for you, but I won't leave without leaving you a gift, old friend.
At that moment a flash crossed between Ace and Katahara, and before anyone knew it, Ace's right arm was on the ground, leaving a confused Ace screaming in pain, before being hit violently by Katahara, leaving unconscious to Ace.
Katahara addressed Doma and her entire crew who had decided to surrender.
Katahara: So Tame the Bohemian Knight, captain of the Bohemian pirates.
Doma and her entire crew were on their knees staring at the ground.
Doma is a man with curly black hair and a beard that appears to have lines extending to his eyes. She wears a large red headband and a necklace with large square light blue jewels on it. Between his neck and shoulder he has a scar, and he wears a large, long, light brown coat with a wide, dark violet collar and cuffs, closed by a belt. He also wears blue pants tucked into black boots.
He carries a monkey over his shoulder. The monkey is usually seen clutching its prehensile tail around Doma's arm; this one also carries a flintlock pistol.
Katahara: Laffitte, give me the Markland Island log pose.
Laffitte handed the log pose to Katahara.
Katahara: Direct your people to this place, tell them that you are now a subordinate pirate… understood.
Doma: Yes captain.
Receiving a smile in response from Katahara.
Laffitte: Captain, Byron recorded the entire battle, as requested.
Byron was with a Kanshi den den mushi camera.
Katahara: Good job Byron, Laffitte take care to show only what is important, and highlight the deaths of each of the commanders.
Laffitte flashed a macabre smile as he received the camera and the Kanshi den den mushi.
Shiryu: Captain, these swords were from Vista, they are called Kaken swords, they are grade O Wazamono, it is a gift from me.
Katahara held the two swords and indeed felt something in them, there was no doubt that they were both O Wazamono.
At that precise moment he received two swords, a sword from Robin and 1 saber from Aslaug, both of Ryo Wazamono grade.
Katahara: How many casualties do we have.
Robin: 25 Confirmed kills captain.
Katahara gave a sad look.
Katahara: Recover their bodies, we will give them a burial worthy of the Darks Crows... some of them had family.
Laffitte: Only 5 of them had a captain family, for everyone else, we were their only family….
Katahara: Make sure you get enough money to his family, and if they want they can move to Markland Island.
Laffite: As you order captain.
