Chapter 24 — Fighting Marco Part 2
Marco looked at the two monsters before him. "I finally understand what Kizaru always means by kids nowadays are scary, yoi."
He dodged sideways as a bolt of lightning missed him, just as Yamato attacked him with another RAYME Hakkai.
Marco raised his left arm and kicked against the recoil from the impact, sending Yamato and Marco flying backwards.
"Give me a break," Marco muttered as an emerald dragon was already swinging his glowing tail at his back.
Ragnar's Dragon Tail slammed into Marco. "That one hurt, yoi," Marco said as blue flames healed him.
"Tsk, I don't know about the legendary Phoenix, but you are one hell of a damn cockroach. Those flames are really annoying, you know?" Ragnar said.
"It just makes him a durable punching bag." Yamato and Ragnar looked at Marco. "So how about going back? Surely Newgate doesn't want to start a war against Beast Pirates now, would he?"
"Tempting offer, but Pops said to keep you here." Marco smiled at them. This fight of attrition was no problem. Even after fighting Yamato and Ragnar for at least a few hours, he wasn't tired at all.
Ragnar frowned. He really wasn't ready to face Newgate as of now. 'But why does that old bastard want us? Surely that guy wasn't planning on taking revenge for Oden on poor him and Yamato? Will he?'
Even if he contacted Kaido, it would take him a day or two to arrive here. With just him and Yamato holding Marco back, they were already at their limit. If the Whitebeard Pirates showed up, it would be a certain defeat.
"Well, since you don't wanna back off, then we just have to defeat you, right?" Yamato grinned as she put her Kanabo away.
Ragnar looked at her. "Well, you are right about that. Since we don't have any choice, let's dance."
The green, serpentine, majestic dragon, Rayquaza, raised its head and let out a high-pitched roar. "Kiyuryursheeah!"
The roar was mixed with Draconic Energy. Yamato and Marco felt the roar as they turned towards Ragnar.
Even far away on the Beast Pirates' ship, Hiyori, Toto, and the others could clearly hear the roar.
Toto, Hiyori, and Coco's expressions changed. "Damn! Move the ship further away!"
"That guy is gonna be the death of us!" Hiyori grumbled in irritation. Coco was nearly in tears, regretting not having written her will.
The temperature above started decreasing rapidly. "What is that brat doing now?" Marco muttered as he felt the temperature dropping rapidly.
"Mohahahha! This is just perfect. You are the best, Raggy!" Yamato laughed. As an Ice Dragon King Mythical Zoan user, the colder the environment, the more advantageous it was for her.
From the sky, snowflakes started falling. Yamato inhaled and flapped her draconic wings as her speed nearly doubled.
Marco looked at the sky in disbelief. "You gotta be kidding me. At this point, it's just unfair, yoi." He flapped his wings and created a shield made of flames.
Yamato appeared before the shield and slammed her fist without any hesitation. "Ice Dragon's Iron Fist!"
The ice and flames clashed as steam rose. Yamato's fist, now boosted by the cold environment, pierced through the flame shield, but Marco was already gone from there.
Yamato didn't stop. She flew at full speed and started chasing Marco across the sky. The falling snow started gathering around her. "Ice Make: Ice Birds!"
The ice condensed into dozens of ice birds and flew towards Marco, attacking him. "Ice Make: Ice Needle Storm!" The snowflakes in the sky transformed into ice needles and fell on Marco.
Meanwhile, Ragnar started flying in circles. He was going to use Dragon Twister and combine it with storm clouds and lightning. This was his ultimate combo as of now.
With Yamato now having a natural advantage with the low temperature, she could easily buy enough time for Ragnar.
Marco, looking at everything, had a very bad feeling. 'The sky is that brat's domain. Fighting him in the sky is just stupid,' he cursed as he dived down while the ice birds chased him.
Followed by that crazy girl chasing him through the sky. "Oi! Stop and fight me like a man, damn it!" Yamato shouted as she formed ice spears and threw them at Marco.
Marco ignored her as he flew across the sky, avoiding Yamato's rapid attacks while trying to close in on Ragnar. But Yamato wasn't letting him anywhere near him.
"Damn it," Marco cursed as he saw the massive twister forming in the sky. The wind started changing direction as the storm clouds were swept into the forming twister.
"Kiyuryursheeah!" Followed by another of Ragnar's Draconic roars, the twister 🌀 started descending downwards towards the sea.
The twister soon connected the sky and sea. Seawater started flowing upwards with the twister as lightning sparked through it violently.
It was a one-way trip for anyone not strong enough to survive it. Any ship caught in it would be torn apart by the raging winds and seawater. If anyone survived that, the lightning and flying debris would crush them for sure.
Marco stared at the natural disaster in front of him. "Holy moly, that kid is pulling out the big guns! Yoi!" He tilted his head to the side as an ice lance missed his head.
"Oi! Aren't you worried you might get sucked into that natural disaster too?" he asked Yamato.
"Hmph, I can handle it. Worry about yourself." Yamato said as she took out her Kanabo. "Now admit defeat, you flying bird with pineapple head!"
