Marineford Became the Pirates' Battlefield

In the end, Marco's goal was simply revenge.

Who cared what methods he used?

For a pirate, what was so despicable or not about any method?

And besides—

Apart from setting his sights on Blackbeard Teach,

he had also set his sights on Sakazuki, who kept causing Roya trouble!

Marco knew full well that Sakazuki could never be Roya's match. All he could hope for now was that Roya would give Sakazuki the same kind of beating Kaido had received.

That way,

he would have enough of an opportunity to avenge his old man Whitebeard, and even Fire Fist Ace.

"Marco!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Diamond Jozu could tell that Marco was deep in thought.

"Revenge!" Marco answered bluntly. There was no need to beat around the bush about something like this.

After all, it was not just Marco—every one of them wanted to avenge Whitebeard and Ace.

"Good!"

"Marco, you must already have a plan."

"No matter what, we'll follow you!"

Flower Sword Vista immediately responded.

However,

their most pressing task right now was still to hold off the two Admirals, Kizaru and Kuzan, and cover the escape of as many people as possible first.

After all, Marco and the other division commanders were all extremely powerful. Even if things truly came to the worst, they could still retreat safely from here.

There were still two Four Emperors, Kaido and Big Mom, here anyway, along with Roya, whom the World Government had explicitly marked for death.

Every one of them was exceptionally skilled at causing chaos, so even if they had to make a full retreat, Marco and the others would still have ample opportunity to do so.

On Blackbeard Teach and Kaido's side,

this brutal beating continued for nearly five whole minutes.

Blackbeard was covered in blood
