Because, as Aini released his sword intent, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
This wasn't the end; the sword was slowly drawn from its sheath.
Immediately, a powerful surge of Armament Haki erupted from Aini's body like a raging wave, wrapping around the blade.
At the same time, streaks of black lightning flashed around the blade, moving like nimble snakes, clearly a manifestation of Conqueror's Haki.
However, this is far from over.
"Crackling and popping!"
Immediately afterwards, purple lightning, like silver snakes, coiled around the blade, intertwining with the previous Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki to create a breathtaking spectacle.
Finally, the powerful demonic energy of the holy sword within Aini's body was also unleashed, flowing like a clear spring across the blade and perfectly merging with other powers.
In an instant, Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, lightning, sword intent, and demonic energy intertwined, forming an unparalleled power. This power was as dazzling and mesmerizing as the stars in the universe.
"brush!"
In that instant, Aini swung his sword fiercely, accompanied by a low roar: "King's Sword!"
This strike was like the first rays of dawn, piercing the dark night sky. Wherever the blade passed, space seemed to be torn apart, producing a piercing sound.
At that moment, Aini's figure grew incredibly tall, exuding an indescribable majesty like an emperor. The entire world seemed to tremble under his imperial power, and all things submitted to him.
The blade in his hand was like an imperial weapon for conquering the world, indestructible and unstoppable. All things in the world seemed so fragile and vulnerable before this peerless blade.
"not good!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Marco's face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and an unprecedented fear surged through him.
You see, ever since he ate the Phoenix Fruit, he had never truly felt the threat of death. Yet, at this moment, he was genuinely experiencing that despair and helplessness.
His body instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late. Aini's attack was incredibly powerful, not only unstoppable but also unbelievably fast, as if it transcended the limitations of time.
More importantly, this attack also contained the domineering aura of a king, which pressed down on Marco like a heavy mountain, rendering him completely immobile for an instant.
That brief moment was enough to decide life and death. In that instant, the sword energy, infused with all of Aini's power, rushed towards Marco like lightning, aiming straight for his life.
Before Aini could even react, the sword energy flashed across the night sky like lightning, striking Marco hard. With a crisp cracking sound, Marco's body was severed in two, like a tree being cut down.
"hiss!"
Marco gasped, his body shuddering violently as a chill shot from his feet to his head. This sensation was so unfamiliar to him, for since eating the Phoenix Fruit, he had never imagined he would experience such pain.
However, what truly terrified him was not the physical pain, but the meaning that the pain represented—his abilities had been broken.
Or rather, Aini's attack was simply too powerful, far exceeding the limits he could withstand.
Or perhaps, Aini's techniques, which combined several powers, caused his abilities to lose their regenerative capacity.
In any case, at this moment, his abilities were rendered useless.
he got hurt.
In that instant, he even felt a warm liquid flowing continuously from his chest.
The touch of the liquid sent a shiver down his spine, a chill shooting from his feet to his head like lightning. A profound sense of foreboding washed over him, for he knew all too well that this meant he might have suffered a fatal injury.
Fear and anxiety surged through him like a tide, his mind went blank, and he was completely unable to think. However, in this life-or-death moment, his body reacted instinctively—he subconsciously looked down.
When his gaze fell upon his chest, his eyes widened in disbelief. There, on his chest, lay a deep, gaping wound, blood gushing forth like a fountain, seemingly without end.
In the blink of an eye, most of his body was stained crimson with blood, a shocking red that sent chills down one's spine. The blood not only flowed down his body but also reached his feet, finally splattering onto the ground drop by drop.
He was indeed injured, and seriously so.
A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness, but this coolness made Marco feel cold all over, as if he were immersed in an ice cellar.
"Pfft!"
In the next instant, Marco could no longer suppress the surging blood within him, and a mouthful of blood gushed out like an arrow. The blood drew an arc in the air before splashing onto the ground not far away, forming a shocking pool of blood.
As he coughed up blood, Marco's body seemed to lose all its strength, suddenly becoming limp. His legs buckled, and he plummeted straight to the ground like a rag doll that had lost its support.
"How is this possible?" These four words seemed to be the common question in everyone's mind. Their eyes widened as they stared at the scene before them in disbelief.
Both the fleeing Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines who were forcibly separated were shocked by this astonishing scene.
Marco, a name that resonates throughout the world of One Piece.
He was not only the second strongest fighter in the Whitebeard Pirates, but also the strongest after Whitebeard himself. His abilities were astonishing—he was a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan-type Phoenix-type Devil Fruit user.
Users of this type of Devil Fruit are even rarer than those with Logia-type abilities, and Marco possesses one of them. He can transform into a phoenix and has the ability to fly, making him one of only five animals capable of flight.
What's even more astonishing is that, despite having a physical body, any wound he suffers is enveloped in "resurrected blue flames" and rapidly regenerated, rendering attacks completely ineffective. Even if fatal organs like the brain and heart are damaged, he can regenerate.
