------------
As soon as Marco arrived, he noticed a petite and delicate woman flying towards him. She casually lifted something and grabbed it, but before he could say a word, another figure had already attacked him.
Despite being inexplicably assaulted, it was strange that the atmosphere could remain positive!
"Get out of the way!" Marco shouted, expressing his displeasure for the first time. With a sudden burst of energy, blue flames erupted from his fist in an instant.
Bellow!
The ghostly bamboo in Virgo's hand collided with Marco's flaming fist, and an incredible force erupted simultaneously!
At that moment, Virgo's expression changed dramatically!
Rumble!
An even more overwhelming force surged into Virgo's arm through the armed bamboo, and within moments, he was swept away by this immense strength!
His burly body was catapulted through the air, crashing into seats one after another, stirring up dust, until he finally came to a stop!
"Shhh!"
This immediate shift in battle caused everyone in Happy City to gasp in shock!
"The powerful ghost bamboo Virgo was knocked aside in an instant!"
"Who is this? With just a single, casual punch, he knocked Virgo away! How strong!"
"I can't even see his face… It's blocked by Lord Stussy…"
In that moment, countless onlookers were amazed. For someone as powerful as Virgo to be punched away by a newcomer was astonishing!
"Ahem!"
Feeling embarrassed, Virgo crawled out from the ruins. His plaid coat, which hadn't been washed in several days, was torn, and one of the lenses of his sunglasses was broken, revealing an eye filled with anger. "Kill!"
Without any further words, Virgo charged toward Marco with determination!
Airplanes!
His powerful armed Haki enveloped his entire body, and his bulging muscles turned black. Full of explosive power, he rushed towards Marco at an incredible speed fueled by his rage!
Moonstep!
In the heat of the battle, Virgo leaped into the air, employing the Navy's Six Powers to step on the very air itself, aiming to overwhelm Marco!
"It turns out to be the color of Haki fully applied to his entire body!"
"To master the armed Haki to such an extent is impressive! Truly worthy of the ghost bamboo Virgo!"
"This is the Moonstep from the Navy's Six Styles!"
Virgo's impressive technique immediately drew gasps from the crowd!
And this was not the end!
Using the Navy's Six Styles, Shave!
As he sprinted to attack, Virgo trampled the air multiple times, amplifying his power through the Shave technique, concentrating his strength to its peak in a remarkably short period!
This move elicited more astonishment from the onlookers!
Virgo did not underestimate his opponent; he aimed to eliminate Marco in the shortest time possible with the strongest means at his disposal!
His entire body moved like a bolt of lightning, striking Marco with rage!
"Undaunted!"
Marco had just twisted to speak to Stussy when he saw Virgo charging toward him. Without hesitation, he unleashed another punch!
A simple yet brutal strike!
This punch erupted with immense force, creating a sound that echoed all around!
Boom!
The two punched each other, and the terrifying clash of power generated a deafening noise, sending shockwaves that rippled outward!
"No!"
Virgo's eyes widened in sheer anger as his right arm, with its bulging muscles, experienced a devastating force coursing through it in that instant. His skin and flesh rippled like waves under the pressure, and the intense pain contorted his face!
In that split second, Virgo finally recognized his opponent, his eyes widening with terror. "Are you… Immortal Phoenix Marco?!"
Yet, it was too late to voice his realization!
All of this transpired in a matter of moments!
After the two had exchanged blows, a ferocious wind generated from their struck fists sent Virgo flying back once more!
Thundered~~!
This time, Virgo crashed straight through the thick walls of the Happy City castle. Smoke and dust billowed into the air, debris scattered everywhere, creating chaos and a cloud of dust!
When the smoke finally cleared, Virgo lay on the ground, covered in blood. He struggled to rise but failed repeatedly. One of his arms was shattered, almost completely severed at the shoulder!
Not only that, his entire body had endured unprecedented damage, blood covering him as he continuously coughed up more.
"Shhh!"
Witnessing such a scene, everyone gasped in disbelief!
Shock!
It was staggering!
Utter astonishment!
"Virgo attacked twice and was sent flying both times!"
"That sheer destructive force! With just two casual punches, he has beaten Ghost Bamboo Virgo to the ground… He must be near his end!"
"This man… With two punches, he nearly killed Onitake Virgo! Who on earth is he?!"
As the crowd exclaimed, their eyes almost universally turned toward the gate—
At that moment, they finally recognized who had arrived—
"He,"
"Immortal Phoenix Marco!"
In unison, countless voices echoed their astonishment!
