Chapter 89: Incoming battle between strongest commanders

"Immortal Phoenix and the strongest Sweet commander, who is stronger and who is weaker?! Of course, it's the brother, the most perfect brother, who will definitely burst that damn Immortal Phoenix!"

Among the nations, many Charlotte Family members who heard the news said so.

They firmly believe that Katakuri will be able to kill Marco!

Others may not know it, but they are unusually clear that their most perfect brother, Katakuri, is the strongest Conqueror's Haki user!

The future can be foreseen!

What's more, his hard power is equally formidable!

The strongest Haki, incredible physical skills, the superhuman power of his Mochi-Mochi Fruit developed to the limit, and his strong combat talent, together, can be called invincible!

There are not a few pirates who think the same way as them.

"Katakuri is noticeably stronger! He will definitely win! Defeat Marco!"

Almost half of the pirates believed this firmly!

"Of course I support Lord Marco! Marco can even blast Drought Jack, one against two, and slash two Sweet Commanders in a row! He can win!"

Similarly, across the seas, Marco has many fans.

Especially a queen named Morolo; her whole nation shows strong solidarity with Marco!

Even, at one point, it sparked a debate among different supporters.

Gradually, it evolved into a war of words involving countless people.

The supporters of Marco and Katakuri each put forward various reasons and opinions, and the debate was so loud that it swept through the entire New World.

…

On some barren island,

Bello Betty also received news about Marco, who she's been paying more attention to lately….

When she heard the specific island information, she slapped her forehead sharply and almost knocked off her sunglasses, "Isn't this the island we met before? He… How is he still there?"

…

New World, on some bustling island.

Stussy and Belivia looked at each other in surprise, "Lord Marco… He's shaken the world again…!"

"This time, it's the strongest Sweet commander… Katakuri!"

Also concerned about the news were the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, including several members like Flower Sword Vista, gathered on a certain island in the New World.

…

"Looking forward to this battle coming soon, I want to see the Immortal Phoenix defeated! Katakuri can definitely do it; he is the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates' top fighter under the Emperors!"

"He alone has slaughtered two great countries in a row! This is the pinnacle of power in the New World, where military forces suppress many powerful pirate groups just to survive! It's not comparable to the East Blue, where the power of pirates is weak!"

Many feel that Marco has been too high-profile recently, and they are eager for someone who can bring him down.

Among these people, especially the pirates of Totto Land, their numbers are the highest.

They and Marco have a deep-seated hatred.

What's more, after Whitebeard's death, the Big Mom Pirates frantically encroached on the islands that originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates, swallowing up a significant amount of their power and resources.

This is a life-and-death duel, mixing old and new grudges.

Additionally, there are countless pirates from Marco's own crew.

In the New World, Katakuri has massive support and has won over countless fans.

"So what? Have you forgotten how Drought Jack, one of the three major disasters, was torn apart by Lord Marco's bare hands? There were no bones left, only ashes!"

"Marco has an immortal body, his physical skills are exceptional, and the strongest Sweet commander will only follow in the footsteps of the three defeated Sweet Commanders and be blasted by Lord Marco!"

Likewise, because of the previous major event, Marco gained an enormous number of fan followers, with immense support among the pirates in the New World.

The world-shaking showdown,

The momentum is vast, sweeping through the entire New World, and it's the big clash that countless pirates are invested in and looking forward to:

Katakuri VS Marco!

Half of them support the 'strongest Sweet commander' Katakuri,

Half of them support the 'Immortal Phoenix' Marco!

…

"Doflamingo… The scale of this event… It has totally exceeded our expectations!"

Trebol said cautiously.

The news deliberately spread by their Donquixote Family caught the world's attention, but… At first, they didn't expect that it would escalate into a storm sweeping the entire New World!

Trebol will never forget the terrifying image of Marco alone, standing before their entire family, taking down Pica with a single blow and blasting Doflamingo with another.

"I have my own intentions."

Doflamingo did not even tell Trebol, the highest-ranking member of his closest confidants.

In fact,

All of this… It was all requested by Marco himself!

Doflamingo merely took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, pushing this showdown to an unprecedented level of attention.

This gives Doflamingo a sense of thrill….

Even he is uncertain who can win and who will survive this time.

…

And as the protagonist at the center of all this chaos,

Marco himself remains as calm and composed as ever.

"Unexpectedly, after coming to this world, I changed a lot of the original plot and characters."

Marco holds two bounties in his hands.

These are the bounty orders for two different photos: one of a young man suddenly spreading his flaming wings that cover the sky and flying into the air, proudly looking at the earth below; another of a young man holding a trident with an arrogant and cold face—none other than Charlotte Katakuri!

Below these two bounty orders, the bounties are exactly the same!

"In the original story, Katakuri's bounty was 1,057,000,000 Berries." Marco paced, using this as a post-meal exercise. "I didn't expect that because of my arrival, his bounty would skyrocket by half a billion in such a short period of time."

He isn't sure if the World Government did it deliberately.

The bounties of the two are exactly the same, both at 1,555,000,000 Berries!

Suddenly,

Marco stopped.

His Observation Haki suddenly sensed something unusual, and he raised his head, looking in the direction of the port.

"Are you coming…?"
