The dark figure and the cyan figure immediately rushed together. The entire island shook, and the plants behind the two figures instantly changed into completely different appearances. The plants behind Shiryu withered and dissipated, while the plants behind Marco seemed more vibrant.
"Is it already this bad?" Marco was secretly surprised.
During the Summit War, Shiryu of the Rain basically followed Rairyu. The fight with Vista seemed to be dominated by interceptions. Later, when Teach appeared, he was much more serious, but he only killed the guy named Devil Sheriff Lafitte.
More than two years later, in the recent battle of Sabaody Archipelago, he had been able to effectively contain Shanks. And now... Marco's heart sank as Vista's Vivre card burned quickly, indicating that their fight had only lasted a short time.
Shiryu's eyes showed a slightly disappointed look. Not strong enough... But let's sharpen the sword first!
The Raiu, wrapped in black mist, struck towards Marco's body. Marco spun in the air to avoid the slashing attack, and his right foot turned into a bird's claw and kicked Raiu's blade.
"Hoo-in!"
The powerful kick made Raiu's blade tremble, and the direction of the chop also changed slightly.
On one side of Shiryu's body, Raiu struck Marco's right shoulder with inertia. The blazing blue flames burned, and the gap in his right shoulder slowly healed.
"Phoenix..."
Shiryu observed the healing speed of the wound on Marco's right shoulder and smiled. Tahir once told him about this ability. Even if his ability was imprisoned by seastone, as long as his ability is restored, all wounds can be healed by the flames of the phoenix.
Although the wound on his right shoulder healed, Marco's mood became heavier. The healing speed...is suppressed!
"I heard that your catchphrase is that the flames of the phoenix are special." Shiryu held Raiu, and black mist dripped from its blade. "Ashura's black mist is also unique..."
Along with Shiryu's voice, wailing began to appear around him, and a ferocious evil ghost began to struggle and scream in the black mist. The green flames on Marco's body became more intense. The smell on the opposite side is very ominous! And he could clearly feel the restraint of that aura on him. The opposition between life and death...
Shiryu held Raiu across his chest. As the black mist became thicker, the evil spirits in the black mist seemed to be breaking free.
"Yellow Spring: Big Burning Heat!"
Black fog covered the sky and sun, and the entire island was shrouded in it. The plants that were originally vibrant in the "Healing Flame" suddenly withered.
"Immortal Thistle!"
A shield composed of green flames emerged, and the rolling black mist collided with the green flames. The evil ghosts in the black mist howled and dissipated in the blue flames, but Marco shed cold sweat after the blue flames. To this extent... It consumes too much energy.
In some ways, he's just like Ace. He relies heavily on abilities to fight, and his abilities consume a lot of physical energy. The island was shrouded in black fog and he could barely see any light, and everything around him became pitch black. Although the black mist around him didn't hit him, there was still that weird wailing vaguely coming from the black mist. It was also accompanied by bursts of sounds like war drums. The sound of the drum was fierce and high-spirited, as if it had the ambition to conquer the sky.
No... Marco's expression turned serious. If this continues... I will definitely lose!
"Bluebird !"
Huge green flames rose from Marco's body and shot straight into the sky. The black mist that originally surrounded him was instantly dispersed. The moment the sun shone down, a figure appeared above his head. The fleshy wings behind the figure once again blocked the sunlight, and his hand grasped the handle of the sword. The black mist on the hilt turned into fireworks.
"Underworld: Eye of Judgement!"
A huge eye appeared behind Shiryu, devoid of emotion.
Not possible...
The wailing around him continued. How did he do it...?
With doubts, Marco looked at his pierced chest. He saw his soul being pulled by the long sword wrapped in black mist in front of him. As he fell to the ground, he subconsciously looked towards the sky. Those eyes became more solid...
Seeing Marco turn into withered bones, Shiryu flicked the blade and put Raiu back into the scabbard. The black fog on the island dissipated, and the bodies of the pirates who had died long ago all turned into withered bones. With a slight movement in his heart, Shiryu raised his head and looked towards the sky. Those eyes had long since disappeared.
Not strong enough...
Shiryu spread his flesh wings and flew into the distance.
······
Vic stood in front of the window and looked at the Greenbit Civilian Port located between the G5 branch and the CP station.
Two years...
No one can believe that such a scene only took two years. The Five Elders are already suspicious of him. Although he didn't know where this suspicion came from, Vic, who has been serving Mariejois for many years, has a keen intuition. Maybe I have been with Adams Dylan for too long...
Although he did not participate in many important battles, he never harmed the interests of CP or Mariejois. But that's the way it is for those in power. They make decisions without the need for evidence or anything else. When they think you have it, or they suspect you have it, you have already been characterized by them.
Although they did it very covertly, Vic had obviously noticed it. Some of my subordinates may have received orders that are not good for them. And the time when that order was officially launched...
Vic's eyebrows raised slightly under his mask. I'm afraid that's when "that war" comes, right? Thinking of the small island in East Blue, Vic couldn't help but smile.
So good...
Amy...Mom...Can you survive and still have a peaceful life...
How can I... let you go back to hell...
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
"Come in."
"Sir, this is a new order from headquarters."
Vic took the file and glanced at it.
"Send more men to sneak into Greenbit and wait for orders!"
Vic closed the file and smiled.
Testing...
If I am really protected by that guy...
During this sensitive and fragile time, Mariejois would not touch Adams Dylan, nor would they touch the people around him. This includes Vic himself.
After the Dressrosa incident, wars broke out all over the world. Those decayed kingdoms are facing a huge impact. The violent organization "Marine" that maintains order as Mariejois turned a blind eye to these riots. Today, some smart people in this world finally saw a glimpse of the true face of Adams Dylan.
"His ultimate goal..."
"It's Mariejois!"
But Mariejois's laissez-faire also made the world feel uneasy. Such an almost blatant provocation. Mariejois turned a blind eye and didn't even hold him accountable. Even if there are complaints from dozens of member countries. Even in just two weeks, more than ten member countries have fallen into corruption.
"World Government" is a fool?
Can't they understand the provocation and temptation of Rairyu?
Impossible, anyone who thinks this way is very stupid. There is only one possibility—
"World Government" also needs Rairyu to complete a certain thing. And they are not afraid of the challenge from the Rairyu!
