A new world of turmoil.

Kingdom of Dressrosa.

In the Don Quixote family's tall and magnificent palace,

"Young Master, I just received accurate information: the former captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Immortal Phoenix Marco, has been located! The navigation coordinates of the island he's on have been confirmed," reported Guladius, whose blue explosive hair stood out.

"Click, get ready to watch a good show!" Doflamingo replied, sitting on a large chair, his legs crossed, a grin spreading across his face. The pair of narrow sunglasses he wore concealed his eyes, hiding whatever intentions lurked beneath.

"Doflamingo, do we... want to take action against Marco now?" Trebol, the older man with a cane, asked, his brow furrowed.

"No, when did I say that we, the Don Quixotes, were going to deal with Marco? Click…" Doflamingo maintained his cool demeanor, always shrouded in mystery. Even Trebol, a trusted confidant, couldn't fully grasp Doflamingo's intentions.

"Come out to sea with me; let's go witness the sensation sweeping the world… Grand!" Doflamingo stood up, the pink feather coat he wore billowing as he moved, stepping forward in his signature style. There was an unspoken assurance in his stride, "Virgo… will not die in vain!"

Doflamingo was determined to protect the entire Don Quixote family and would not allow anyone to perish without consequence, regardless of who the enemy was.

"Young Master, where are we going? Is Marco located near the island?" Trebol inquired.

"Naturally... No!"

New World, a Certain Barren Sea.

On a desolate island with white sand and no vegetation,

This place was called "White Earth Island Baldigo."

"After searching the nearby sea for days, I finally found this desert island! It was a real hassle to track down!" a rough, burly man with thick body hair and a missing-toothed grin exclaimed.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Captain... I just got news. Xiliu and the others... were killed by Marco! Right now, I heard that Marco is on some island, waiting for those who want to kill him!" said 'Devil Sheriff' Lafitte, dressed in a tailored suit with strikingly pale skin.

"Marco? I didn't expect… he would do such reckless things! This... is entirely different from the Marco I know. It seems Pops' death hit him harder than anyone else!"

"Captain, are we going to avenge Shiliew?" one of his crew asked eagerly.

"Not so fast... Did you mention earlier that Marco has many enemies? Let them have their fill of fun; we'll go later..." the captain replied, a devilish smirk crossing his face.

"Great idea! Mantis, cicada catching yellow sparrow behind!"

"No, we... are always the hunters!"

Blackbeard's approach contrasted sharply with Doflamingo's.

New World, Some Barren Island.

"The latest headlines in the world's newspapers... Immortal Phoenix Marco!"

Jozu clutched the newspaper in his hand, tears glistening in his eyes. "Such a dangerous situation… I have to rush over!"

Also in the New World, A Remote and Lawless Place.

Chaotic Island.

"Are you saying that the big players in the entire underground world want the head of the Immortal Phoenix Marco?!" questioned Foil Bista, wearing a mask as he gripped a pirate's collar, brow furrowed.

"N-no… that's right! The Hundred Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates issued a blood bounty… Countless powerful figures in the underground world are flocking to take it! They all want Marco's head…!" the pirate stammered in fear.

"Is there a specific island location?"

"Y-yes! It's right here in my pocket…! Here!"

"Get out!"

Foil Bista tossed the pirate aside, grabbed the nautical chart, studied the marked island, and turned towards the port. "I hope I'm not too late… Marco... must not encounter any more trouble!"

Almost simultaneously, many remaining captains of the Whitebeard Pirates scattered across various islands received news about Marco.

Without hesitation, they all set sail toward the island where Marco was located.

The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, having faded from existence for so long, emerged once more to the world stage… all because of one name:

Immortal Phoenix Marco!

Several large pirate ships bearing the pirate flag of "beckoning skeletons with lipstick" sailed with great urgency in a specific direction.

On the deck of the main ship,

"I just received a call from my brother… He said he already knew about Owen's death," announced Charlotte Galette, who had purple hair and a sultry demeanor, her expression sullen.

Her brother was none other than the strongest Haki user, Charlotte Katakuri.

"Then we have to deal with Marco as quickly as possible!"

Charlotte Snack, draped in an exaggeratedly wide coat, spoke passionately.

"He doesn't need to come himself, does he? The three of us can easily take care of Marco very swiftly," said Charlotte Smoogie, who had a bounty of 932 million Berries, her tone blunt.

In her view, the three Sweet Commanders together were more than enough to handle Marco. If it were not necessary to come as a trio to expedite the task, they wouldn't have bothered.

"My brother didn't say anything about that," Charlotte Galette replied, gazing out at the receding sea. "At our current speed, it will take at least a few days to reach Marco's location!"

"That doesn't matter."

At that moment, Charlotte Klee, who had been quietly sitting to the side, spoke up. "The three of us are more than capable of taking out Marco in an instant! Get ready to fight!"

New World.

A massive pirate ship was adorned with a bow shaped like a colossal flood mammoth.

It was the flagship of Drought Jack, one of the three calamities under the Hundred Beast Pirates.

"Purr~~!"

The phone bug rang, and Drought Jack—massive and fierce—picked up the line. "Joker?"

"It's me. Marco's exact location has been confirmed…"

"Good." Drought Jack's voice resonated like muffled thunder, "I will completely eliminate him…!"

Blah blah.

The call ended, and Drought Jack turned to his crew. "Sheephead... Check the nautical chart and find out how far away this island is!"

Sheephead flipped through the charts until his eyes lit up with realization. "It's close to us! It'll only take half a day to reach... the gods are on our side!"

"Dressk…" The two hideously sharp fangs hanging from Drought Jack's jaw clicked with anticipation. "Marco will soon pay for his crimes!"

At this moment, Marco was on the island, diligently working on his newly developed Immortal Phoenix ability…

"Who will arrive at this island first…?"

"It's truly... exciting!"
