A whole huge tall building, under the sword of Shiryu of the Rain, was like a tofu block, which was cut into countless pieces and collapsed.
Such a scene caused an uproar among many people.
"Worthy of being the second captain of the Blackbeard Pirates!"
Someone exclaimed in a low voice.
"The previous Burgess lost his life under Marco's punch, and this Shiryu of the Rain actually looks completely fine!"
"This tall building is the largest on our entire island… It is also the strongest structure, made entirely of boulders. I didn't expect … under his sword, it would be as vulnerable as a tofu block!"
Many were incredibly amazed. Compared to several other pirates, Shiryu of the Rain… was undoubtedly the strongest they had seen so far!
The tall building that collapsed with a bang stirred up massive stones, which rolled down continuously. Shiryu of the Rain emerged from the billowing dust, allowing the debris to cascade around him, his expression unchanging. Strangely, the boulders that rolled down seemed to veer away from him, as if avoiding the demon captain completely!
Seeing such a sight, many pirates gasped in shock again.
In sharp contrast to the awe surrounding him, Shiryu of the Rain felt a flicker of dissatisfaction. He could clearly sense the lingering pain where Marco's punch had struck him; that pain alternated between a burning sensation and an icy chill!
"Marco, I truly underestimated you…!"
Shiryu brandished the blood-soaked demon sword Raiu and stepped out of the rubble, allowing the stones to roll off him without a glance.
The embarrassment from being remotely assaulted by Marco, along with the agonizing fist mark left behind, filled him with a deep-seated hatred.
The dead Abaro Pizarro and Burgess had sought to hunt down Marco's powers; however, Shiryu craved something different—he longed for the thrill of the kill, a chance to take down Marco himself!
"It's not that you underestimated me; it's that you… overestimate yourself!"
The flaming spear in Marco's hand, engulfed in blue and red flames, was pointed directly at Shiryu. This time, he was determined to eliminate the Blackbeard Pirates' left and right arms in order to clear a significant threat from his path!
Swish!
Upon hearing Marco's words, Shiryu's expression darkened, filled with fierce determination. His eyes blazed with murderous intent, and he unleashed his demon sword in an instant, slashing downward to unleash a massive energy wave that tore towards Marco!
The colossal slashes, striking with immense force, cut through everything in their arc; trees and buildings were cleaved apart, and the sound of the cut whistled like a piercing storm!
As Marco faced this overwhelming attack, he didn't retreat but instead surged forward, swinging the flame spear with determination!
Bellow~~~!
The tremendous slash tens of meters long met Marco's strike head-on, his blow cutting through the onslaught and dispelling it!
The vigorous whistling sound from Shiryu's powerful attack passed by Marco's ears, rattling his clothes as a surge of energy blanketed him. Then, with renewed strength, he unleashed a powerful force, leaving behind a flurry of afterimages.
In the next moment, the flame spear, clad in robust Armament Haki, was aimed directly at Shiryu!
Swish~~!
As Shiryu raised his hand, he cut through the air with Raiu, unleashing a flurry of agile cuts. At that instant, countless slender slashes appeared, densely packed and resembling a torrential rain descending upon Marco!
Unlike before, this time Shiryu's sword seemed to disintegrate into a flurry of slashes, making it nearly impossible to determine which strike was the real blade!
Yet Marco appeared to 'sense' the location of the actual demon sword.
With incredible speed, the spear whipped through the myriad of rain-like strikes, swiftly intercepting the true blade aiming for his chest!
Thundered~~!
As the two weapons, each radiating incredible power, collided once more, a ripple of energy sparked into the air, exploding outward in all directions. The dense barrage of slashes fell apart in an instant!
The ground beneath them cracked, further splitting into jagged lines and creating ravines from the sheer force of the impact!
As the deafening sound of their clash echoed, both combatants swung their weapons at each other nearly simultaneously!
"In this world, no one is invulnerable to death! Even the Immortal Phoenix… must possess only one life!"
With a ferocious glint in his eyes, Shiryu's sword Raiu flashed with blood-red light as he slashed towards Marco's neck from an unusual angle!
Amazing sword energy swirled along the demon sword's edge!
"One life is enough to kill you!"
In the face of Shiryu's lethal cut, Marco's heart surged with clarity. He seemed to 'see' the subtle trajectories of everything around him. In a split second, the spear in his hand intercepted!
Rumble!
Once again, the two weapons imbued with destructive force clashed, producing an explosive sound of metal colliding that resonated through the air. The atmosphere around the clash erupted, sending a surge of energy outwards!
Thundered~~~!
Rows of buildings crumbled almost instantaneously!
The ground trembled as dust and debris filled the air. The blast sent rubble flying, blanketing the area in chaos!
Boom~~!
In the thickening smoke, Marco and Shiryu engaged in a fierce exchange, battling one another relentlessly. The dust that spread out obscured everything, leaving spectators unable to discern the specifics of the action. All they could see was flashes of red light and the continuous turmoil of blue flames!
Rumble!
Suddenly,
A fearsome figure thrust out from within the swirling dust!
"What?!"
The crowd gasped as they caught sight of the scene!
Shiryu of the Rain catapulted from the smoke, his body pierced through by Marco's flaming spear, its crystal blue flames illuminating the surroundings and leaving a series of blue phantoms in mid-air!
