Marco has been attacking Enel continuously. It can be said that he is persevering. Whenever Enel moves to another place in an instant, Marco will chase the past quickly.
Marco was like a homing missile, giving Enel no chance to stop or counterattack.
If Enel launched an attack, he would also be attacked by Marco, leading to mutual damage. The problem was Marco's extraordinary phoenix recovery ability, which left Enel at a disadvantage.
So Enel clearly wouldn't choose such an outcome. However, Marco's stamina and endurance were excellent. After a prolonged chase, Enel's strength gradually faded.
Soon, Enel started to weaken. After a series of attacks, Marco finally managed to land a blow as Enel lagged behind.
Marco struck Enel's back like a shooting star, sending him flying through the air for a long distance before he slowly descended and fell down.
"Awesome, he got him!"
The crew members watching around suddenly exclaimed. They were glad to see Enel taking a hit from Marco. It was a moment of joy for them, and several crew members were cheering.
"It's amazing, Marco didn't give him a chance to counterattack."
"I'm impressed by Marco, he kept up the chase continuously. Only he could do that."
The crew cheered for Marco, but Marco, suspended in mid-air, felt no pride. He knew the battle couldn't be won with just one strike.
In reality, this hit means little to Enel. While it's hurting him now, this tactic won't work forever.
Because this move has very high requirements for him, not only requires extremely strong physical fitness, but also has super judgment ability to accurately determine the approximate direction Enel will move.
And after Enel is hit with this attack, he will definitely figure out a way to deal with it, so Marco does not plan to continue using this method.
Enel recovered fast after falling. He regained his balance, stood firm in the sky, and then rose slowly into the air.
"To use this method, I really underestimated you…"
Enel said with some surprise.
"Next, you should get serious,"
Marco said with a slight smile, though his eyes were serious.
"I am serious,"
Enel replied casually.
Next, Enel attacked Marco, who swiftly struck the drum on his back twice, causing it to vibrate with lighting power, summoning two Thunder Dragon
The onlookers watched as Enel unleashed his power. Some of them couldn't help but feel afraid and stepped back to avoid being affected by the Thunder Dragon.
"This power is incredible,"
Tesla exclaimed.
"No wonder Marco lost to him before. Even i can't handle this kind of power,"
Jinbei said solemnly.
"I hope Marco can keep up,"
Charles Vane began to worry.
The crew lamented Enel's power and expressed concern for Marco, but only Whitebeard knew this wasn't Enel's full strength.
When Enel fought himself before, he merged with Taiko and unleashed the strongest blow, known as the world-destroying strike, Raigo. It's on a whole other level.
That's why Whitebeard is confident in Marco. Enel's power isn't enough to take him down. Even if Marco gets hurt, it won't keep him down.
"Marco, let's show them what you've got. This battle isn't just about Enel's strength, it's about reminding everyone how great your strengt is"
Whitebeard whispered, his eyes fixed on Marco.
Facing the two thunder dragons in the sky, Marco felt the gravity of the situation. While confident in his recovery, he didn't want to get hit if he could help it.
Because if he had suffered this kind of attack several times, the final result would be the same as the last time.
At the same time, Marco remembered a saying Whitebeard taught him: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
His strong recovery lets him fight for a long time, even without injury.
However, this also led Marco to gradually lose his sense of crisis, relying too much on his recovery ability in battles. As a result, he didn't always try his best to dodge enemy attacks and make his edge less sharp.
Marco decided to change his habit, realizing he needed to if he ever wanted to transform. This was something Whitebeard had taught him long ago.
But Marco hadn't taken it seriously, or maybe he just hadn't fully acted on Whitebeard's words. There hadn't been any real change yet.
The bitter defeat against Enel was a harsh lesson for Marco, like a knife carving Whitebeard's teachings into his heart.
So Marco resolved to change. Though dodging Enel's thunder attacks wasn't easy, Marco made a decision. He told himself that if he didn't dodge Enel's Thunder Dragon, he might as well give up!
Since his recovery ability is passive, Marco can't control it. Once injured, he just heals automatically. Marco kept telling himself that if he couldn't dodge, it meant failure. Got it?
Marco used this method to motivate himself and cut off his retreat. Under this pressure, all of Marco's abilities reached their peak.
The two thunder dragons in the sky swirled continuously, occasionally roaring thunderously, shaking the air. Enel closely watched Marco's every move, using his Heart Network to predict Marco's next trajectory.
But this time, something seemed off, making Enel feel uneasy.
"What's going on? Why are his movements so chaotic?"
Enel frowned seeing Marco action in the distance
Marco's movements became unpredictable. In Enel's sight, Marco spread his wings, and a cyan flame bird flew freely in the sky.
But the flame bird had no fixed direction, constantly changing, making it impossible to predict its next move.
