The current leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, Phoenix Marco, the famous deputy of the strongest Yonkō in the New World, is now in the hands of the new Yonkō Basire, and he cannot withstand the terrifying power of his conqueror's haki.
Even the extremely fast recovery power of the phoenix was unable to let him recover fully from Basire's domineering attack.
Marco began to suffer more and more injuries, his recovery speed became slower and slower, and his physical strength seemed to have reached its limit.
In terms of attack power, defense power, and endurance, he couldn't compare to Basire, and his death was only a matter of time.
However, Basire didn't seem to want to give Marco much time.
"Let's end it here, Marco the Phoenix!!"
'Phoenix Capturing Dragon Claw!'
Basire's jet-black dragon claw entwined with the dark aura and his conqueror's haki quickly swung out, so fast that even some flames were created due to the friction with the air. Amidst the explosion of air, he successfully caught the body of the Phoenix Marco.
The jet-black dragon claw exploded with power, bursting with black lightning, and directly grabbed Marco's neck. Marco's throat and cervical vertebrae shattered in response, and he was slammed to the ground by Basire.
With Basire as the origin, the land erupted in circles of rocks, and hundreds of meters in radius seemed to have been bombed.
Marco was pinched to the ground by Basire, blood overflowed from his mouth and nose, and his eyes began to blur quickly.
He has reached his limit, and he no longer has the physical strength to activate the immortal flames to recover from such a fatal injury.
Basire's face was expressionless, his eyes were sharp, and the dark substance on his hand began to cover Marco's body.
Anyone who tries to stop him from reaching the strongest position will be sent to hell!
A large amount of dust was still floating in the battlefield between the two, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
Vista, who was fighting fiercely with the Pirate Empress, suddenly felt his heart suffocate when he saw this exaggerated explosion, and an ominous feeling arose spontaneously.
"You are constantly distracted while fighting against me.!!"
'Perfume Femur Magna!'
Conqueror's Haki broke out from the Pirate Empress. Although she had not learned Conqueror's infusion yet, she could still shock the minds of others. Her long white legs were covered with powerful armament haki, and she kicked Vista's head.
Vista quickly returned to himself, and hurriedly blocked the Pirate Empress's domineering kick with his two swords.
Hancock's Perfume Femur kicked Vista's swords, and a lot of sparks were released. This shows that her Armament Haki is so powerful that it can overwhelm Vista's famous swords.
Because he returned to defend in a hurry, Vista's moves were unstable, so he was kicked hard and flew out. He rolled dozens of times on the ground and plowed a deep mark.
Then he quickly got up, a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the Pirate Empress solemnly.
As expected of the pirate empress who has awakened conqueror's haki, she is so powerful.
If he hadn't been distracted now, he would still have some confidence in defeating this pirate empress.
But now Marco is facing off against Basire, and his life or death is uncertain.
Other commanders were also entangled, and a large number of captains and crew members of the affiliated pirate groups died in this war.
His mind could no longer focus and calm down.
"Fufufu~, Marco's aura is gone, truly worthy of being my husband, Basire-sama."
"Next up is you, Vista!"
The Pirate Empress laughed arrogantly. She had already felt that Marco had been killed by Basire, so she had to work harder to kill Vista!
"Marco…"
Vista gritted his teeth and couldn't help but shed tears. He whispered sadly, his hands holding the sword were trembling, and now he was becoming more and more desperate.
Pops is gone, Ace is gone, Jozu is gone, and now even Marco is gone. The Whitebeard Pirates are gone.
'Slave Arrow!'
Seeing Vista crying bitterly, Hancock had no sympathy. Her enemy's tears were none of her business.
She wants to solve this strong enemy by herself before Basire comes over and prove her strength!
Vista came back to his senses and saw the pink arrows in the sky. He rolled aside and then rolled again, but his black cloak and top hat were both shot and turned into stone, so he hastily threw them away.
"You will all die on Wind Island today!!"
The Pirate Empress continued to launch her swift attacks and rushed forward, she is going to take advantage of her opponent's weakness to take his life!
At this time, the smoke and dust had dispersed on the battlefield where Basire was. Basire had already put away the Phoenix devil fruit. He was carrying the body of Marco since he knew that Gecko Moria might want it.
Speaking of which, the bodies of Whitebeard and Ace were buried on Sphinx Island, and the supreme blade Murakumogiri was also inserted on Whitebeard's grave.
How about finding an opportunity for Moria to rob their tombs, just like when he robbed Shimotsuki Ryoma's tomb in Wano, and also stole the black sword Shusui.
Now Moria can also steal Whitebeard's tomb, get the supreme blade Murakumogiri back and give it to Whitebeard Jr.
Although it is unknown whether Edward Weevil is genetically just a clone of Whitebeard or his son.
But they at least have a certain biological relationship, so Weevil is still eligible to inherit Whitebeard's legacy.
Moreover, it is too wasteful to have such a fine weapon stuck on a grave where the wind and rain blow it.
It should, in the right owner, once again display its brilliance as a supreme blade.
···
Seeing Marco in Basire's hands, the remaining Whitebeard party truly collapsed completely at this moment.
Revenge? Escape?
Under Basire's terrifying pressure, neither of them had any chance.
However, the affiliated pirate groups seem to have another option, and that is to surrender.
Among them, the Decalvan brothers made a quick choice.
"We surrender, please don't kill us!!"
The brothers quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. It was less than two years since they joined the Whitebeard Pirates. The commander of the fourth division, Thatch, and the new commander of the second division, Fire Fist Ace, suppressed the two brothers together.
They just joined the Whitebeard Pirates and became an affiliated pirate group.
In the original time and space, when Whitebeard was stabbed by Squard, they also believed Squard's words a little, and they once suspected that Whitebeard wanted them to die.
But after hearing Whitebeard's explanation and Whitebeard's unique charisma, they decided to follow him and continue fighting.
But now, after the death of Whitebeard, the two of them no longer have such a strong sense of belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates.
To save one's life, surrender is not the worst thing they would do.
And they also surrendered before when they joined the Whitebeard Pirates.
