The golden sun shone brightly, casting shimmering rays across the endless sea.

Crash~~!

Pirate ships from all directions began to converge near a large island.

"Captain, should we anchor the ship on the sea, or land on the island?"

"Let's land on the island!"

A pirate ship docked at the port, and all the members of the crew jumped off one by one.

Their captain, with a shark-like upper body, dark blue skin, and a mouth full of jagged teeth, was extremely hideous.

"The K-Jones Pirates! Their captain, Stormshark Kerjones, had a bounty of up to 600 million Berries five years ago! He was once a well-known figure in the New World, but hasn't he long since disappeared? Why is he suddenly appearing again today?!"

On another pirate ship still anchored at sea, someone exclaimed in disbelief.

Following that, a fleet of twenty-six pirate ships sailed in unison toward the port and docked.

Thousands of pirates emerged, and these pirates, without exception, belonged to the Long-legged Tribe.

"The pirate fleet of the Long-legged Clan! Oh, my God! This…!"

Some people gasped in amazement.

The Long-legged Tribe was known for their ferocity and love for battle; their combat effectiveness was astonishing. A pirate group composed entirely of members from the Long-legged Tribe was definitely a formidable force in the New World!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a series of gigantic bubbles erupted on the sea surface at the port!

Then, a strangely shaped pirate ship surfaced from the depths of the ocean, sending up a spray of water.

A pirate wearing a crocodile headdress stepped onto the island.

"This is!"

Someone gasped:

"Once the most vicious pirate, the dessert king Crocodile!"

"The super criminal who had a bounty of 800 million Berries five years ago—didn't he disappear for five years?! Why is he popping up today too?!"

Many people felt incredulous.

The pirates who landed on the island were all notorious pirates with a long-standing reputation in the waters of the New World!

They had all seemingly disappeared for many years, yet now they were gathered here!

One after another, pirate ships that had made names for themselves on the seas became visible, docking directly at the port.

One by one, these once-powerful figures stepped onto the island.

Rather than rushing into action, these infamous pirates set up their territories in the port area and sent scouts to assess the situation.

Of course, several lone sea thieves ventured straight toward the depths of the island.

"This island in front of me is full of forests."

Aside from the relatively empty port, the rest of the island was overwhelmed with dense forests that stretched far into the distance.

In the thick foliage, the sound of beasts could be heard growling.

"There's a small town over there!"

As the pirates wandered further into the island, they soon spotted a town ahead.

Shock and disbelief washed over the pirates.

"This town… it's really been completely destroyed!"

They couldn't help but notice that the town was in utter ruin; buildings were toppled and tilted, cracks spiderwebbed across the ground, and the desolation was truly astonishing.

"There's a road over there! A frozen road!"

One pirate yelled, pointing towards the back of the town. They had spotted a wide, ice-covered avenue that sparkled under the sunlight, boasting an impressive width of more than ten meters. The sight was simply stunning!

"This layer of ice is at least ten meters thick, if not more!"

"What terrifying freezing power!"

Each pirate who landed on this island possessed strong combat capabilities, yet they couldn't help but feel a piercing chill emanating from the frozen avenue.

"Let's go check it out!"

As the group stepped forward, their eyes followed the frozen path, leading them to a gigantic lake stretching several kilometers in radius, which had also completely frozen over!

The crystal-clear ice reflected sunlight in mesmerizing patterns, golden light dancing across the surface.

In the center of the frozen lake sat a young man, calmly perched upon a throne made of blue flames, holding an incredibly slender fishing line… fishing!

The image of the blue Flame Throne, the slender fishing line, and the composed youth created a stunning visual that captivated all who beheld it!

"Immortal Phoenix Marco!!!"

Everyone gasped in shock at the sight from a distance!

At that moment, the calmness with which Marco fished amidst turmoil spoke volumes; that kind of tranquility in the face of chaos amazed even the most seasoned pirates.

Those pirates couldn't help but smile.

The purpose of their journey was Marco.

Having spotted him, they were now resolute; with him present, everything else felt secondary. They were willing to wait for the perfect opportunity rather than rush into action.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed from the port, followed by a violent tremor felt by everyone. The force of the tremor was incredibly powerful!

All eyes turned towards the source of the commotion.

They saw a figure with a white beard shaped like a crescent moon, but this beard was thinner and longer than usual.

This man was burly and stout, with an upper body resembling a huge iron ball but with notably thin legs. His wild hair resembled the spikes of a durian, flowing down to his ankles.

Most striking were the three deep scars etched across his body; it appeared he had endured severe injuries that had nearly cost him his left hand and head. Yet, he seemed to possess extraordinary regenerative abilities, allowing him to survive!

"His Majesty the Seven Warlords… Edward Weibull!!!"

When they recognized the man who had caused the violent tremor, someone could not help but exclaim in astonishment.

"He... not only holds the title of Seven Warlords, but he's also a son of Whitebeard...!!"

At that moment, many pirates felt dumbfounded, never expecting Whitebeard II would also make an appearance!

"Edward Weibull has reportedly killed 16 captains under Whitebeard to prove he is indeed his biological son! I heard he has always been intent on hunting down Marco to claim Whitebeard's inheritance!"

Someone shared this shocking news, leaving everyone stunned.

Eliminating 16 captains is a feat not to be taken lightly!

"I'm going to find Marco and take him down…!"

Edward Weibull brandished his oversized sword, which was longer than ten meters, and roared at the pirates before him, "You… get out of the way~~~!"
