Real or Fake Fish?

However.

Faced with Kizaru's proactive attack.

Whitebeard stood rooted to the spot like an ancient, unshakable boulder, utterly unmoved.

Just as Kizaru's Yasakani Sacred Jewel was about to strike Whitebeard.

Aboard the Moby Dick.

Marco, commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, made his move!

"Dealing with you doesn't require Pops to lift a finger!"

Marco shook both arms.

Over his body.

Blue-gold flames ignited in an instant.

The flames swiftly spread across Marco's body.

With a long cry, a phoenix wreathed in blue-gold fire soared into the sky!

Marco unleashed his Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix.

Marco allowed the yellow flashes to pass straight through his body.

"I've never seen such a strange bird before!"

Kizaru strolled forward casually, steadily increasing the output of the Yasakani Sacred Jewel in his hand.

His body suddenly twisted around, and with an inverted hook kick.

He drove a kick at Kizaru!

Kizaru raised his elbow as well, colliding with Marco's kick.

"Bang!!"

The collision thundered.

Blue-gold flames and yellow flashes erupted at the same time.

Igniting the entire sky.

Then.

Under everyone's focused gazes.

Kizaru, one of the three Admirals, had slightly underestimated Marco's kicking power.

And was struck by a sweeping kick.

His entire body turned into a flash of light and plummeted toward the ground.

"Rumble!!!"

Kizaru, transformed into light, crashed into the ground, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

"An Admiral!!!"

Seeing Kizaru get kicked away by Marco.

The Marines below.

Were utterly stunned.

Oh my god!

That was an Admiral.

One of three terrifyingly powerful men selected from among a million!

And yet?

Kizaru, an Admiral.

Had been kicked away by the Whitebeard Pirates' First
