"This! What's going on?!"

"Lord Owen… He's dead! His bones are cracked! He's… been beaten to death!"

A group of pirates, who had been swimming excitedly just moments ago, were now dumbfounded as they salvaged Charlotte Owen. One by one, they were horrified, completely taken aback!

Charlotte Owen was such a powerful figure—not only did he possess superhuman physical abilities, but he had also developed his Devil Fruit power to a very strong level.

As a user of the Hot-Hot Fruit, he could manipulate temperature through the air, setting distant objects ablaze—commonly known as "staring at someone until they catch fire." He could even manipulate currents to create extremely destructive hot blasts, capable of killing enemies hiding in the sea!

He could be described as an all-around combat force on land, sea, and air!

The fourth son of Charlotte Lingling, "Big Mom," Charlotte Owen was the Baking Minister among the thirty-four ministers. Such a formidable figure shouldn't have been easily defeated, yet he had no time to fully unleash his strength before being killed by Marco!

It wasn't that Charlotte Owen had underestimated Marco—

Rather...

Marco was a killer!

Anyone who sought to kill him would not receive his mercy!

Crash!

At that moment, a figure suddenly surged out of the seawater. Amidst the splashes, Marco burst forth from the sea, spreading his Immortal Phoenix wings as he flew into the sky.

"Marco?!"

"Oh my God!! Isn't he a Devil Fruit user? How can he survive in the sea?"

All the pirates were stunned. One by one, they looked up, awestruck at Marco in the air with his over ten-meter-long blue flame wings. A monstrous wave of emotion swelled within their hearts!

It was a well-known fact that those with Devil Fruit abilities turned into "dry ducks" when cursed by the sea—this rule was ironclad, and there were no exceptions! All users of Devil Fruits were far inferior to ordinary people in the water. If they fell into the sea, they could only wait for rescue... or wait to die!

But...

Why had Marco emerged from the sea unharmed?!

The group of pirates who had originally planned to find Marco and kill him now trembled in fear and shock, their hearts racing with dread!

Meanwhile, Belivia, who was anxiously steering the pirate ship, witnessed Marco's safe emergence in mid-air. She jumped up in surprise. "He's okay! He's okay!" Belivia cheered inwardly. But then she suddenly froze, as if a realization struck her. "Isn't Marco a Devil Fruit user? He… can actually emerge from the sea?!"

Astounding!

Incredible!

Belivia stared wide-eyed, watching Marco shake his wings in mid-air!

As soon as Marco burst forth from the sea, he spotted the pirates below and quickly grasped that they were coming to retrieve Charlotte Owen and, by extension, to kill him!

These people... must die!

"Die, all of you!"

Marco's enormous flame wings flared, and instantly split into countless dense blue pillars of flame, which shot down into the sea below!

Screams erupted one after another as all the pirates in the water were killed, and none survived!

The remaining pirates aboard the five pirate ships stood in stunned silence, as fear spread through each of their hearts!

"Go and inform Mom!"

"Yes… Inform Mom that Lord Owen is already dead! The Immortal Phoenix Marco… is alive!"

Finally, someone reacted in panic and immediately grabbed a Den Den Mushi to call for help…

Meanwhile,

In the New World.

The sea surrounding the archipelago known as the Ten Nations, specifically on the main island where Charlotte Lingling (Big Mom) resided, featured the enchanting Cake Island, adorned with unique cake-shaped buildings. In a building designated for communication...

The urgent Den Den Mushi rang loudly. The minister responsible for contacting the pirate fleet under the Big Mom Pirates answered the phone and said, "Please speak; this is Cake Island…!"

"It's a disaster! Lord Owen… has been killed by someone!!!" The voice on the other end of the line conveyed exaggerated panic, and through the Den Den Mushi's signal, the reporter's growing fear was palpable. "Lord Owen is dead!"

Charlotte Owen… is dead!

Minister of the Oven… Charlotte Owen… is dead!

"Hoohoohoo!"

The minister answering the call couldn't help but breathe rapidly. The Big Mom Pirates had run rampant in the Grand Line for many years, with no minister-level figure dying in such a long time; this news was incredibly shocking.

The powerful Oven Minister had fallen!

Even when considering the vastness of the New World, there were only a few individuals capable of such a feat!

Astounding!

Incredible!

After a long pause, the minister in charge of handling communications took a deep breath and asked, "Who did it?!"

However, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, a scream was heard along with a voice that conveyed flat, murderous intent—

"Me."

"The Immortal Phoenix… Marco!"
