In an instant, flesh and blood flew across the sky, creating a horrific rain of gore!

"Shhh!"

The terrifying spectacle shook everyone who witnessed it.

A collective gasp echoed through the crowd.

The numbing image was too much for many to bear. Some frenzied pirates, however, cheered and boiled with excitement over the display, their hearts ignited by the thrill of battle. The sight of blood splattering stirred a primal urge to fight, causing passionate blood to surge in their chests!

"It's so exhilarating!"

"This is the thrill of battle, fueled by immense power! It's so invigorating; I can feel my blood burning!"

"Immortal Phoenix Marco… Whoever he wants to kill, no one can save them!"

Some pirates, filled with enthusiasm, looked at Marco as he soared with his wings, attacking with fervor and violently blasting Abaro Pizarro, showcasing their fanatical admiration!

Abaro Pizarro, who had previously landed a bloody punch on Marco, was already on the brink of death. Inside his body, flames raged, destroying his internal organs and tissue.

As Marco swung his flaming wings and dove down, unleashing a thunderous assault, the combination of internal and external forces erupted simultaneously, completely obliterating Abaro Pizarro's body!

That's when the horrifying scene of flesh and blood splattering took place in the sky!

All of this unfolded within an incredibly short span of time.

At the same moment Marco obliterated Abaro Pizarro, the demon knife in Shiryu of the Rain's hand, glowing with a red hue, sliced through the air. A slender slash, dense like rain, followed the monstrous blade!

The demon knife slashed directly at Marco's arm, a torrent of sword strikes enveloping him entirely!

In that tense moment, all the pirates held their breath, their eyes glued to the battlefield, their expressions fraught with anxiety!

"Whoohooooo!"

Nervous breaths echoed among the crowd of onlooking pirates, each one feeling the tension rise!

Shiryu of the Rain, captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' second ship, was a feared and powerful killer—he had once dispatched many notorious sea pirates in the New World!

Especially with that eerie demon knife!

The blood-soaked blade invoked a deep-seated fear in everyone!

"In order to kill Abaro Pizarro, Marco is completely ignoring Shiryu of the Rain's attack! What… will be the outcome?!"

"That's Shiryu of the Rain! Once the mightiest warden of Impel Down! Now he has been fully unleashed to kill, and his strength is at its peak! Just looking at this… everybody feels their scalp tingle at the sight of that gruesome bloodlight demon knife!"

Such terrifying thoughts surged in countless minds!

It was too late to think.

At the very moment Shiryu of the Rain's slash connected with Marco, an enormous roar echoed as brilliant blue flames erupted from every part of Marco's body!

Shiryu of the Rain's demon knife, along with its crimson bloodlight, threatened to slice through Marco in an instant!

With a piercing sound, Shiryu's blade carved a wound deep into Marco's arm, exposing bone!

However, what surprised Shiryu even more was—

Marco's wound, raw and gaping as it was, didn't bleed like any other. Instead, deep blue flames ignited at the cut, burning and flickering like a living entity!

Poof~~!

Then came the deluge of sword slashes that followed. The dense rain of cuts penetrated the dark blue flames on Marco's body, revealing numerous gaps where the flames flickered!

It was as if Marco's body was elementalized, similar to the abilities of a Logia user—the dark blue flames shifted, unveiling openings as if they were non-existent, healing before their eyes!

Despite the cuts, Marco's arm—the one wounded by Shiryu's "Demon Knife Gray Mountain Blood Blade"—regenerated the torn flesh at an astonishingly rapid pace. Almost in mere breaths, the deep gash exposing white bone… remarkably… healed completely!

Shiryu found himself stunned, and his heart raced with shock!

Indeed, Marco wouldn't give him a moment to collect himself!

Rumble~~!

In that instant, Marco unleashed a ferocious punch, enveloped in intense Armament Haki. The destructive power surged exponentially, and with a thunderous sound reminiscent of breaking the sky, this punch descended toward Shiryu!

Blah boom~~!!

Shiryu was blasted away by the punch, tumbling across the ground in a cloud of dust and smoke, eventually crashing into a tall structure. The impact caused the building to collapse, debris cascading down and filling the air with chaos!

Hula~~!

The dark blue flames surrounding Marco were completely absorbed back into his body, and his form remained entirely unscathed!

Wow~~~!

At that moment, the many pirates who had anxiously watched the battle erupted into an uproar, staring at Marco in shock. The scene they'd just witnessed replayed in their minds:

When Shiryu of the Rain's demon knife struck, Marco's deep wound, exposing white bone, had somehow regenerated at an astonishing speed, as flesh and blood grew back before their eyes!

The flame-filled gaps had been closed, as if Marco had momentarily transformed every part of his body that was about to be sliced through into those dark blue flames, allowing him to completely disregard the relentless barrage of slashes!

Yes, that shocking sight was still seared into everyone's minds, a source of shock and disbelief that refused to fade!

Many pirates witnessing the power of the Immortal Phoenix Fruit for the first time were left utterly stunned!

"This… is this the ability of the Immortal Phoenix?!"
