The powerful, brutal, and arrogant Eustass Kidd had his moment in the spotlight for just one second. Without even employing his full strength, he had obliterated the wild beast Buckton, who carried a bounty of 550 million Berries, in a matter of seconds!
He had threatened to burst Marco's head!
He possessed a formidable ability in Armament Haki, which allowed him to envelop his two massive mechanical arms. With the enhancement of this Haki, his destructive power had reached astonishing heights!
Yes, it was impressive.
But in the very next moment, with a simple and straightforward punch, Marco shattered Kidd's body, cracking his skull and instantly turning him into a lifeless corpse!
This illustrates not only the gap in their Armament Haki but also the immense disparity in strength—a chasm so immense it seemed insurmountable!
Wow~~~!
All the pirates witnessing this scene erupted in an uproar, completely stunned. Eustass Kidd, who had entered the town full of arrogance and domineering bravado, was struck down by Marco in the blink of an eye!
Moreover, Eustass Kidd had utilized his Devil Fruit ability, combined his Armament Haki with physical prowess, and yet Marco had reduced him to a bloody corpse relying solely on his Armament Haki and physical skills!
What an overwhelming punch!
"Eustass Kidd, ranked number one among the supernovae, renowned as the most dangerous and treacherous pirate of the Worst Generation, has swept through the New World slaughtering one pirate crew after another, and yet… even he cannot withstand a single punch from Marco!"
"Is this the true gap in strength?!"
The pirates in the distance were in awe. The shock rooted deep within them made them replay the scene of Marco throwing that devastating punch over and over in their minds!
"Just remember, Eustass Kidd was the one who arrogantly threatened to smash Marco's head before! I'm afraid that right until his last breath, he never expected that he would be killed by a single punch from Marco, his body almost shattered in the process!"
"It's not Eustass Kidd who is weak! It's Marco who's simply too strong! Strong enough to instill despair in Eustass Kidd!"
The sounds of exclamations continued to reverberate through the air.
"This! The top dog… killed in a second by one punch!"
The once arrogant pirates were now thoroughly frightened at the sight of their leader, Eustass Kidd, turned into a bloody corpse.
Panic spread rapidly in their hearts; they had come clamoring to take down Marco to enhance the Kidd Pirates' prestige in the New World, yet now they felt their scalps go numb, their backs chilled, and their limbs turning to jelly!
"Escape!!!"
The members of the Kidd Pirates had completely lost the courage to confront Marco. They dared not avenge their boss, and even the thought of daring to look at Marco instilled fear into their hearts!
"Boom!"
As they attempted to flee...
Marco would not allow any of them to escape; it was his character to never let an enemy slip away!
With a resounding boom, Marco raised his hand slightly, aiming at the terrified pirates of the Kidd Pirates who were running for their lives. Above his arm, a blue flame blazed forth, and as soon as the blue flames emerged, they surged out like a massive tidal wave!
This was… the Frozen Flame!
In the blink of an eye, all the members of the Kidd Pirates were engulfed by the blue freezing flames!
Crack!
The blue flames flowed through, enveloping the cold air and leaving behind the bodies of the Kidd Pirates encased in ice.
...
Meanwhile, at the harbor of this island, a large warship appeared.
Rows of sailors quickly descended from the ship.
"vice admiral… Supernova No. 1 Eustass Kidd is in this small town on this island!"
At the port, Navy soldiers respectfully reported to a vice admiral wearing a righteous robe, a brown suit, a brown hat, and an expression of authority etched on his wrinkled face.
"vice admiral, the Kidd Pirates led by Eustass Kidd are all gathered here!"
"Exactly, let's wipe them out!"
"Then let's go, and surround them first while Lord Lieutenant General approaches."
As they spoke, the marines entered the streets of the town.
However, when they arrived, they were all stunned by the sight in front of them: the frozen pirates of the Kidd Pirates were scattered around, each maintaining the same terrified expression as they ran for their lives.
Crack-crack!
Almost instinctively, all the marines armed their guns, aiming ahead!
"Oh~~Boom~!"
Suddenly, a breeze swept through the street, accompanied by a crisp sound as the frozen pirates shattered like tofu blocks, leaving nothing more than broken blue ice behind.
Hiss!!!
The sound of drawing in breath echoed throughout the town.
Such a scene made everyone's eyes widen in horror and disbelief!
"That can't be true, right?!"
One pirate rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking he must be seeing things, yet the shocking reality remained.
"Eustass Kidd was killed in one punch! He raised his hand and wiped out the entire Kidd Pirate Group in seconds! The Immortal Phoenix Marco… with a bounty of 1.555 billion… No deception, it's true!"
Many pirates even covered their mouths, finding it hard to accept this staggering fact!
Such thunderous displays of power had completely terrified all the pirates in the town.
They even ignored the presence of the seamen because, in their minds, all they could comprehend was Marco and the shattered blue ice—a method so overwhelming it left them in shock!
Not only were the pirates stunned, but even the Navy soldiers who rushed over found their pupils narrowing one by one, looking at the broken ice in front of them in disbelief!
"It's him!"
At that moment, a major in the Navy pointed at Marco and exclaimed!
"Oooo!"
All the sailors focused their eyes on Marco in unison, their voices exclaiming almost simultaneously:
"Immortal Phoenix Marco!!!"
At the same time, marine non-commissioned officers aimed their guns at Marco:
"Remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates! The Great Evil Man with a bounty of 1.555 billion Berries, Super Pirate, Animal-type, Mythical Zoan, Immortal Phoenix Fruit User—Marco!"
Whoosh!
The gazes of the distant pirates all turned toward the group of marines who had suddenly appeared, captivated by their arrival.
Stomp! Stomp!
In tandem, behind the marines, the sound of footsteps approached, drawing the attention of all present...!
