"A divine bird!"

"A divine bird that can control flames!"

On the deck, a group of pirates stared blankly at the sky as exclamations continued to erupt. This scene felt surreal to their crew, who had come from a small corner of the world.

"What divine bird?! In front of me, he's just a plucked chicken!"

A burly man in a navy coat shouted disdainfully.

"The captain is mighty!"

The pirates rallied, cheering for their leader.

"Nides, what's the background of that guy up there? How dare he come to my territory!"

Captain Gaspardi, wearing a navy coat, shouted in frustration. Someone was showing off right on his head, which irritated him greatly. "Does he know that I possess a superhuman Devil Fruit ability? Tell him to come down and fight me! I'll show him what pain really feels like!"

This steamship was called the "Sharoman Snake." Gaspardi was the captain of this pirate crew, boasting solid strength with a bounty of nearly 100 million. Hailing from the island of Hannabal, he was regarded as a powerful and notorious pirate in that sea region.

"Captain, I'll tell him to come down!" His close subordinate, Nides, stepped forward, leaning over the deck to shout up at Marco. "Hey! Flame bird up there, our captain wants you to come down and fight!"

"Oh?" Marco looked down and responded coolly, "I'm not interested."

Not interested?!?

Nides was taken aback. "You might not know this, but our captain has a hot temper. If you don't come down, he won't be able to fight with you. If that happens, he might really lose his temper!"

"Get lost!"

Having encountered these amusing pirates again, Marco couldn't be bothered to explain. He casually raised his hand and punched downward!

Rumble~~!

A massive flame fist roared from mid-air, hurtling down with tremendous force. Nides didn't even have time to react before he was engulfed by the colossal flame fist. Not only that, but the massive fist also directly bombarded Gaspardi!

"Nides!"

Upon witnessing his subordinate be obliterated instantly, Gaspardi roared with fury. Facing the incoming flaming fist, he unleashed his own punch, which expanded like rubber as he unleashed his superhuman Soft Candy ability.

Rumble!

The two forces collided violently. In a split second, Gaspardi was instantly defeated. His fist, having grown larger thanks to his abilities, shattered upon impact.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he thought, 'I'm a pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million, yet I can't take a single hit from this guy? What kind of monster is he?!' Before he could contemplate any further, he was sent flying, the flames consuming him in mid-air.

"Captain, I know who he is! That's the super pirate with a bounty of 1.555 billion Beri from the latest bounty order… immortal phoenix Marco!"

As Gaspardi continued to be blasted away, he heard a subordinate's frantic shout. He glanced back just in time to see a crew member rush out of the cabin, holding the bounty order high above his head. The order featured an illustration of a pirate with blue flame wings spread wide, looking back in mid-air.

"immortal phoenix Marco!"

Despair washed over Gaspardi as his body was still being obliterated.

Rumble~~!

The enormous flaming fist finally obliterated the steam pirate ship, splitting it in half. Gaspardi and Nides were the first to perish, and the other pirates swiftly followed, plunging into the sea.

Marco shook his wings, glided down, and reached out. A bounty order appeared in his hand as he flew back to his own ship. Upon spreading it out, he saw the various "crimes" attributed to him by the Navy Headquarters.

Super evil pirate "immortal phoenix Marco"!

The bounty's illustration showed him mid-flight, wings ablaze.

"Has Lord Marco received a bounty?"

Several of the female slaves rushed over with eager steps, excitement evident on their faces. To them, receiving a bounty was the ultimate glory; the higher the bounty, the greater the respect! Since being bought by Marco, their initial fear had dissipated as they became more familiar with him, realizing he was easy to get along with.

"How much is the bounty?"

"Yes, yes, let's see! How much is Lord Marco's bounty?!"

As the curious girls surrounded Marco, he spread his arms and handed over the bounty.

Immediately, they grabbed the bounty order as if it were the greatest treasure, eagerly counting the numbers one by one:

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…!"

"A billion!"

"The total bounty is 1.555 billion Beri?!?!"

As they counted the enormous bounty, the group of female slaves stood frozen in astonishment, covering their mouths in disbelief, their eyes wide with shock. For a moment, they were all left utterly speechless!
