Reborn as Marco phoenix after loss to Blackbeard Pirates

On the streets, the rain poured down the city.

The pirates were shocked.

The three supreme ministers of the Big Mom Pirates are all dead!

"What's going on? They… Suddenly cannibalism?!"

The pirates were horrified one by one.

"I don't know! I didn't even see it… I just noticed Katakuri away."

"I didn't see it either…"

The pirates looked confused one by one.

And Katakuri, which was about to be completely covered by the rain, quietly disappeared…!

…

Doflamingo has been distressed lately, something that has never happened in his life.

All this distress comes from one person, that is, Marco.

Since provoking Marco last time, Doflamingo has made a compromise in order to keep the Don Quixote family and has become Marco's secret informer.

He thought that he would be able to provide some news in the dark all the time, even if he completed the assigned task given by Marco. Although he secretly offended the Yonko, with his multifaceted schemes in both black and white, he could also support it without being exposed, and it was safe.

Who knows.

Recently Marco actually asked to meet.

It's good not to meet; as soon as you meet, something happens.

"Slaughtered two supreme ministers of the Big Mom Pirates…!"

Doflamingo felt terrible, although he knew in his heart that this was Marco giving him a letter of submission, but he was still very resentful. Killing the supreme ministers of the Big Mom Pirates could be regarded as a complete declaration of war against them!

"Marco, you're even tougher than I thought!"

Marco didn't say a word, his gaze fell on Katakuri, who was wrapped in white gauze.

At this moment, Katakuri had fainted.

Marco also did not expect that Katakuri was still alive. If memory serves, he had beaten him to death, and finally Kaido came, so he did not care about the life and death of Katakuri. But he did not expect that now he saw a living person.

"Big Mom seems to be chasing him. And he… has betrayed the Charlotte family."

Doflamingo felt a little uneasy; this Katakuri was not an easy opponent to provoke. But Doflamingo couldn't guess Marco's thoughts, and he said a little uncertainly, "Are you sure you don't have to kill him now?"

"You already knew that Katakuri was alive and betrayed the Charlotte family, right?"

Marco did not answer Doflamingo's question, but stared at the latter and said in a calm tone, "Why didn't you report it to me?"

Doflamingo suddenly glared at Marco, "I'm just giving you the news you want. There's no agreement that I have to report all the news I know, right?"

Rumble!!!

An extremely terrifying Conqueror's Haki was released from Marco, as if it turned into a tangible force and suppressed everything around!

Click!

Doflamingo resisted with his own Conqueror's Haki, but was shocked to find that his advanced-level Haki… was completely suppressed!

The ground under his feet instantly cracked, and densely packed tiny fissures appeared!

Doflamingo's body was continuously forced down!

Boom!

Finally, Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki was completely overpowered, causing him to kneel directly on the ground, creating two deep craters!

At this moment, Doflamingo's mind felt like it was struck by three thousand bolts of lightning, with a relentless roar echoing within!

He was utterly stunned!

"Your Conqueror's Haki… In just a few days, it has reached such an astonishing level!"

Doflamingo gritted his teeth and spoke with disbelief.

This was what shocked him the most—how difficult and slow it is to enhance one's Conqueror's Haki!

Yet...

This time, in their Haki confrontation, Doflamingo only lasted a moment before being completely suppressed. Compared to their last encounter, Marco's Conqueror's Haki had increased severalfold!

This was truly appalling!

"I need your absolute surrender now."

Marco's calm words were filled with boundless killing intent as he looked down at Doflamingo, "Instead of playing games with me and trying to be clever."

"Surrender?!"

Surrendering and compromising to provide intelligence cautiously are two completely different things!

Doflamingo's eyes shone with a fierce light!

How could he submit to another man?

Rumble~~!

A powerful surge of energy erupted, and the earth beneath Doflamingo's feet instantly transformed into countless threads, forming a terrifying white wave that seemed poised to turn everything upside down and counter Marco.

But at that moment,

A far more dominating force burst forth from Marco,

Like a mountain pressing down from above,

With a deafening crash, it struck Doflamingo!

Click-click-click!

The formation that had just turned into white waves under Doflamingo's feet burst instantly. With a thunderous explosion, Doflamingo, who had just managed to struggle, was suppressed once again, forced back to his knees!

Boom!

Doflamingo felt his blood and energy churning wildly within. His throat tasted bitter and metallic, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This is the full power of your Conqueror's Haki!"

In that moment, Doflamingo's heart was gripped by terror.

The overwhelming force pressing him down was entirely from Marco's Conqueror's Haki, which completely shattered Doflamingo's previous understanding of its limits!

"Complete surrender, or death!"

Marco's voice was unyielding, filled with decisive authority. He was determined to dominate, starting here and now.

He sought to establish a supreme force—one so powerful that it would make the whole world tremble.

Moreover, this force would need unwavering loyalty, absolute submission from all under his command!

It had to start with Doflamingo, whose intelligence network was essential, but only if it was fully and utterly surrendered to Marco's will.

Doflamingo's thoughts churned like a stormy sea.

The power Marco had demonstrated was far beyond what he had anticipated.

Countless possibilities, countless thoughts flashed through Doflamingo's mind.

To surrender would mean acknowledging Marco as his king from that day forward!

At last,

Doflamingo, straining against the suffocating pressure of Marco's unparalleled Conqueror's Haki, raised his head with immense difficulty and locked eyes with Marco,

"I choose...!"
