Chapter 23 - Marco The Phoenix

Bell was indeed a genius. As an assassin, his talent was beyond human understanding.

He'd be able to kill any opponent with the current advantage provided by the terrain. Still, Diamond Jozu proved to be quite a hard opponent for him as his defense was impenetrable.

But even if he was at a disadvantage, his extraordinary talent couldn't be neglected, just like how his knife could scratch Jozu's arm.

With Storm Flame's disintegration characteristic, plus the perfectly calculated throw on each knife, making it hit the same exact spot on Jozu's arm would eventually wear down the impenetrable defense.

Moreover, Bell absolutely loved torturing his enemies to death like this.

Jozu's expression was so frustrated. He clearly had the strength to crush the opponent, but he couldn't attack due to the situation.

This kind of battle is clearly frustrating!

"Ushishishi! Judging from your expression, you should be frustrated with the current situation, right? If so, let's make this more intense. Let me remind you first, be sure to react faster if you don't want your men dead."

Bell seems to be the one who dominates the game, looking at Jozu arrogantly. The sadistic voice then came out of his mouth: "By the way, I heard that everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates is basically a family, so you definitely won't give up on them, right?"

Bell then threw a dozen knives one after another. These knives were all infused with the Storm Flame, and as if being ordered by Bell, the wind led Bell's knives to their targets with a tricky trajectory!

Seeing such a scene, Jozu had no time to think and immediately rushed to his men's aid, repelling the knives with his diamond-coated body and becoming the shield to protect them. This was also his only option now!

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Jozu couldn't help but curse at this moment as that was the only thing he could do to vent his anger.

But at the same time, he was also amazed at the opponent's terrifying talent. He knew how difficult it was to control the weather in the New World, but the opponent could predict the wind without making a single mistake.

"You can't stop it now, diamond idiot!"

At this moment, Bell suddenly sneered.

The gust of wind suddenly blew in the opposite direction, and the three knives that Jozu went after changed their trajectory because of this.

Jozu couldn't use Marine's Geppo, so he couldn't switch direction mid-air. He could only watch as three knives flew toward his men.

"Dodge!" Jozu shouted anxiously, but how could ordinary pirates like them avoid Bell's knives?

Seeing those flying knives head straight toward his subordinates, Jozu panicked, but at this time, he was powerless!

"Will it make you angrier when you see your subordinates spewing blood? Ushishishi!" Bell's face became more and more hideous and sinister.

"There's no way..."

Suddenly, a voice sounded, and a blue flame appeared in everyone's field of vision: "I'd let you kill my family that easily!"

The flame devoured all the three knives, and then the pair of flaming wings spread, and what emerged from the flames was a golden blond, tuft hair with a hint of viciousness on his face.

The First Division Captain of Whitebeard Pirates, the captain of the first team, Marco the Phoenix!

"Captain Marco!"

"As expected of Captain, your timing can't be more perfect!"

Several pirates who escaped from death couldn't help but shout excitedly at this moment.

At the same time, they also knew that since Captain Marco was here now, this farce would come to an end.

The enemy might be able to restrain their Captain, Jozu, by using this disgusting method, but there was no way he could restrain Captain Marco at the same time!

With the strength of the two captains, there was almost no opponent they couldn't defeat!

"It's going to be troublesome now."

Seeing Marco's arrival, Belphegor frowned instantly, even though his golden hair had completely covered his eyes, so no one could see whether he frowned.

However, Marco's arrival did make him feel panic. Diamond Jozu was already a troublesome opponent, and now that Marco the Phoenix was here, it was safe to say that he had no chance of winning.

It would be good if he could use his box weapon, but for some reason, his box weapon was now in an unusable state. No matter how much Dying Will Flame he gave through his Ring, there was no response.

"Heh, since you've made a move against my family, then you have to pay the price!"

In a flash, Marco rushed in front of Bell with blue flame shrouding his body. His feet transformed into talons that immediately kicked Bell at breakneck speed.

At this time, Bell had no time to dodge. Although he was extremely talented, he wasn't that good in close-quarter combat.

"boom!"

A loud bang broke out, but at this time, Marco's eyes instantly turned to one side, and Jozu, who thought everything was settled, couldn't believe his eyes.

Just at that moment, orange flames flew from a distance, separating Marco and Bell.

Just like Marco, Giotto also emerged from his Sky Flame with his right hand holding Marco's talons.

"It's been a while, Marco."

Giotto raised his head, looked at the figure burning with blue flames in front of him, and said solemnly: "Can you stop here for my sake?"

"Don't you think that's a little unfair?"

Hearing Marco's refusal, Giotto also sighed in his heart. Sure enough, unlike Shanks, he couldn't just get along with this pineapple head.
