Rumble~~!

Marco descended like a blazing comet, bringing with him the fury of wind and thunder. His attack, aptly named the 'Immortal God Fist,' was a radiant embodiment of pure, overwhelming strength.

Buzz~~~!

An aura of undying, eternal life enveloped the scene, casting an otherworldly brilliance across the heavens and earth. From above, the power crashed down like the sun, swift and unstoppable.

Below, Drought Jack raised his deadly scythes, unleashing a series of fearsome slashes upward.

Boom~~~!

In the cascade of endless flames, Marco's relentless punch descended like the weight of the heavens, colliding ferociously with Drought Jack.

The instant their powers met,

An extraordinarily violent storm erupted, unfurling in relentless waves that ravaged the land, overturning earth and rock, and sending debris flying across the landscape, crashing into distant woods.

Rumbles and shocks echoed as countless beasts cowered, paralyzed by fear.

Fractures webbed out from beneath Drought Jack's feet, driving earth and stones downward, forming a deepening crater that bore witness to the impact.

As the ground beneath Jack's feet collapsed, the surrounding earth was blasted outward, sending fragments shooting off in all directions.

Nearby pirates, already weakened by the overwhelming energies, were lifted and flung into the air by the shockwave. Those unfortunate enough to be in the path of massive stones were crushed, their bodies turned into indistinguishable masses.

The scene was cataclysmic, evoking a primal terror as if the sky itself were crashing down, leaving an indelible mark of awe and dread.

At that moment,

All pirates, whether on the island or observing from ships far out at sea, were unified in their astonishment.

"What kind of attack is that?"

Many stared in awe at Marco, who resembled a deity of flame, rendered speechless by his display of power.

A singular thought echoed through their minds,

Eternal as the sun!

"Is this the true power of the Phoenix's fruit?"

Witnesses gazed upon the scene, likening it to the detonation of a solar explosion, and marveled at the incredible might of the mythical Zoan Type Phoenix Fruit like never before.

"I've never seen Marco use his Phoenix Fruit powers like this… Did he develop this recently?!"

Whispered a notorious underworld pirate.

A seasoned warrior of the seas, he had crossed paths with Marco numerous times and thought he knew all there was to Marco's abilities.

Yet,

Confronted with this new, formidable attack, he realized just how far Marco's powers had evolved, astonishing him with a realization of Marco's newfound destructive potential.

"Good thing that during our previous encounters, he hadn't yet developed such a devastating move!"

The thought lingered absurdly in the mind of the once-dreaded pirate of the New World.

"Aren't they all saying the Phoenix Fruit isn't supposed to be lethal?"

One naive pirate muttered, disbelief clear in his tone.

Whoosh!

The words drew sharp, incredulous glances from those around, their expressions clearly conveying, "If this isn't 'lethal,' then what possibly could be?"

Feeling the weight of their disdain, the embarrassed pirate drew his neck back timidly, murmuring, "That's just what I heard from others…"

Syllable! ~!

The little pirate's captain smacked him on the back of the head, glaring with frustration. "Idiot! Stop believing whatever nonsense you hear, and go clear your head. Don't embarrass me!" he rebuked sharply.

Looking aggrieved, the young pirate sulked off…

It was just a minor distraction in the middle of monumental events.

The focus of everyone shifted back to the island.

The ferocious flame storm persisted, distorting the air, shattering ground formations, and lifting clouds of dust into the sky, resembling an apocalyptic cataclysm.

Drought Jack's feet sank deeper into the ground,

The endless blue blaze mirrored in his eyes,

For the first time, he felt profoundly oppressed by an opponent, a bitter mix of shame and fury bubbling within him.

"Roar!!!"

Enraged amidst the swirling flames, Drought Jack's roar resonated through the forests,

His muscular arms, charged with immense power, tried desperately to channel it into his scythe-like weapons for a decisive upward slash!

Yet,

His efforts were in vain,

Marco's advance was relentless; his attack, imbued with searing flames, continued its relentless descent!

Rumble~~~!

Ultimately, Drought Jack was forced backward, the ground beneath him shattering, kicking up waves of dust that rose like smoke!

Simultaneously, the sun-bright blue flames crashed down, gouging out a massive crater, the eruption of flames dazzlingly intense!

"Why, has the ruthless Drought Jack learned to retreat as well?"

Marco hovered above, his flaming wings steady, his voice calm but laced with unmistakable threat.

"When I rip your head off and tear that mouth of yours apart, your arrogance won't last… Marco!"

As Drought Jack's thunderous words echoed, he hurled his massive frame toward Marco like a cannonball, launching an aggressive assault.

This time, he was on the offensive,

His overpowering momentum was terrifying.

Drought Jack charged with lethal intent, closing the distance between himself and Marco almost instantaneously.

Drought Jack swung both weapons in a crossed motion, releasing a powerful double slash!

His weapons were sheathed in Armament Haki, flowing with a menacing black aura as deep and foreboding as an abyss. The blades cut through the air, leaving behind black streaks as they hurtled toward Marco with deadly precision.

A direct hit from these blades would cleave even the most resilient body into four pieces!

Wow~~!

Marco, utilizing his Observation Haki, foresaw the trajectory of the attack, yet chose neither to evade nor retreat. His wings flared dramatically, and instead of moving away, he surged forward,

Ignoring the incoming blade strikes altogether.

As Marco accelerated, his hands opened wide like a great bird of prey, and two flames of opposing colors appeared, condensing to their utmost limits into orbs of sheer destruction that warped and twisted the air around them!

In his left hand, a fireball glowed blue, while in his right, the fireball burned crimson.

This display of power was the antithesis of the Phoenix's healing abilities—pure, unmitigated destruction!

In the blink of an eye,

Drought Jack's dual blades viciously slashed across Marco's chest,

Simultaneously, Marco thrust the twin fireballs of destruction into Drought Jack's body with equal ferocity!
