The Black Duke of the Pirate

Hiss, hiss...

The golden cobra spits out its apricot mouth, like four guards sticking to their posts.

But at this time, under Bourbon's order, the four golden cobras immediately opened their huge mouths and swallowed Chitira.

"Are you... going to die?"

Kitiara murmured as she thought that the huge mouths of the four golden cobras were getting closer and closer.

"Lingxiao, you bastard, why haven't you expressed your feelings to others yet..."

"Let me even die with regrets..."

"But... meeting you... is truly an unforgettable journey!"

"Farewell..."

Kitila was lying on the ground, unable to stand up no matter how hard she struggled.

So she thought of it resignedly.

Hiss, hiss...

The golden cobra finally swallowed it.

But……

Bang!

A blue flame erupted where Kitiara was lying, and this blazing flame directly enveloped Kitiara in it.

boom!

The flames rose up, and the four golden cobras immediately turned into phantoms in the flames and disappeared.

This is an illusion created by Bourbon using his Devil Fruit ability. In this flame, it was instantly melted.

Bourbon's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he stared at the flames for a long time.

"Phoenix...Marco!"

The flames gradually separated, revealing Marco's smiling face.

"Jade Chan Bourbon, it's been a long time no see..."

Marco smiled.

"Yes, it has been nearly twenty years since we last met."

Bourbon chuckled.

"Twenty years have gone by so fast. When you left, dad often asked about you."

Marco seemed as relaxed as recounting the past years. Facing this powerful enemy, he felt relaxed and relieved.

"I'm sorry that because of the opposing camps, it's also a pity that I couldn't continue the adventure with you back then. Thank you very much..."

Bourbon paused for a moment as he said this, as if he was lost in memories.

"Our camps were different from the beginning, so neither dad nor any of us really hate you, but dad said that if we meet, he will kill you. You should know why."

Marco said.

"I know... I also went to pay homage to my father after he passed away."

"That's it. Although I'm not short of someone like you, I'm very grateful."

After Marco finished speaking, the flames on his body immediately burst out.

Only then did Chitila open her eyes, looking at the giant bird burning in flames in front of her, feeling a little surprised.

Are you saved... This man... Marco the Phoenix!

Chitira heard all the conversation between the two of them just now.

These two people... actually know each other.

And judging from their words and deeds, it is obvious that they have known each other for many, many years.

But I didn't even know about this kind of thing back then, and probably not many people in this world knew about it.

She only heard that when Bourbon was young, he went undercover in a large pirate group, but since he came back from undercover, he seemed to have disappeared.

"Marco...you saved me?"

Kitiara asked.

But Bourbon was the first to speak: "Isn't it obvious... If it weren't for Marco, you would have turned into a puddle of blood by now."

"It seems that you have an extraordinary relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates."

Chitira looked at Bourbon and said in a deep voice.

"Of course, this man was the second captain of our Whitebeard Pirates twenty years ago..."

Marco told a shocking secret, and Chitira was extremely shocked.

"What... second team... captain..."

"How...how is it possible!"

Bourbon is only in his forties. Could it be that in his twenties, he is already so powerful, powerful enough to be the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates...

"You should know that as the captain of the second team, I am not a glorious person, and I will attract your hatred."

Bourbon showed a smile.

"You should know that we don't hate you. Although you are an undercover agent, you have not actually harmed us."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that guy Tikki the Blackbeard would actually do something like that. I told you twenty years ago that Tikki can't be trusted!"

"Fortunately, that bastard was killed by Reinhardt, so I even celebrated it specially."

Bourbon's words came over, and at the same time, the golden cobra scepter in his hand was raised, facing Marco.

"I'm sorry, but I have to carry out my mission!"

After seeing this, Marco immediately said to Chitila behind him: "You leave first, and this guy will be left to me."

Marco's wings spread out, blue flames burst out, and the raging flames spread towards Bourbon.

Kitiara nodded, looked at Bourbon, and then left immediately.

"Okay, now that the irrelevant people have left, let's settle the grievances of the past twenty years together, the captain of the second team, Amenhotep Bourbon!"

Marco said with a smile, the blooming flame body was like a spreading flame flower.

"That's fine. This matter has been on my mind for more than twenty years. It must come to an end."

Bourbon said softly, and then a golden light flashed across his body, his body surged, and a golden halo appeared behind him.

He wears a strange headdress, with three small golden cobras protruding from his forehead. The golden cobra scepter in his hand exudes a golden halo, and flames appear all around.

A large number of white bandages appeared on his body, like a mummy, and his face was covered with bandages.

In an instant, Bourbon's entire body increased several times in height, and his head seemed to turn into a terrifying beast, swallowing Marco.

Marco frowned. This is the form of the pharaoh of the animal type Human Fruit Fantasy Beast. In ancient legends, the pharaoh is the 'mummy' formed after the corpse is made into a mummy. The highest stage of mummy is called

He is called 'Pharaoh'.

Marco's green-blue wings suddenly opened and flew into the sky, then turned into a fierce flame and rushed down.

boom!

Marco kicked Bourbon's shoulder hard with his right foot, but a burst of golden light suddenly erupted and bounced away from Marco's body.

Then three golden cobras ten times larger than before floated in the air, opened their bloody mouths, and swallowed Marco.

Crack... there was a crisp biting sound, as if Marco had been swallowed into his belly.

But within half a sound, the fierce flames erupted again, and the body of the golden cobra that swallowed Marco immediately collapsed.

"It's just a small thing, do you think this kind of beast can hurt me?"

"Haha, that's right. Marco the Phoenix is ​​a world-famous strong man after all."

Bourbon sneered, crossed the golden cobra scepter in his hand across his chest, and then rushed over in the golden halo that filled the sky.

He held the golden cobra scepter in his hand and hit Marco hard.

Marco raised his arm and blocked the attack with a bang, but the power that penetrated his body was like a ferocious beast, roaring continuously!

The next second, Marco fell down.
