Chapter 43: Whitebeard: Be My Son!!!!!!!

"Go to hell!"

As soon as the words fell, Marco fell from the sky, and his right leg, exuding blue flames, suddenly stepped in Varen's direction.

Not only that, just before the hit, Marco's right foot faintly turned black!

Armament Haki!

Although he was only an intern crew member, with the teachings of some members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco had mastered the use of Armament Haki.

Varen just put the sword in his hand across his face!

In the next moment!

Boom!

Marco's all-out blow was neutralized as soon as it hit the Zanpakutō in Varen's hand.

No fancy tricks, just plain Zanpakutō, neutralizing the attack with the same power.

"Can you block it so easily and control the power output?"

Seeing the fight between Varen and Marco, Whitebeard frowned involuntarily.

Although he knew that the gap between Marco and Varen would be huge, he still couldn't believe it when he saw such a huge gap.

"Damn it! Don't put on such a self-righteous look!" Seeing Varen's calm demeanor, Marco felt his contempt.

Blue flames spread from Marco's wings, and he took advantage of this moment to fly up, his arms like two sharp blades, slashing at Varen.

Puff--!

Marco didn't have time to see clearly what happened, only a blue light flashed from above.

In the next second, Marco staggered two steps.

Immediately afterward, he fell directly to the ground.

The flames of the phoenix immediately covered Marco's body.

Seeing Marco's tragic state, many captains were shocked, but they were relieved after seeing the phoenix flames ignited.

As long as the phoenix's flame was not extinguished, Marco would be all right.

"Damn! What is this! The recovery speed has slowed down to one-tenth of the original!" However, Marco, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the injury on his chest in disbelief.

The moment Varen drew his sword, Marco couldn't even see Varen's Zanpakutō. He just saw a flash of blue light, and he fell straight down.

And most importantly, his wound healing speed had slowed down.

This unusual point made Marco gasp.

"I suppressed your recovery with my Reiatsu. If you throw in the towel, that's the end of it."

Varen walked slowly in front of Marco, looking at him clutching his chest, and spoke indifferently.

Although he had initially mastered Haki, Marco was still too young at this time and did not pose the slightest threat to him at all.

But just when Marco was about to raise his head and refuse to surrender, Reiatsu from Varen's body directly pressed on him without reservation.

For a moment, Marco felt as if he had fallen into hell. The Varen in front of him was obviously so close, yet seemed so far away.

"If you think my Reiatsu is just like this, you are too naive. I can precisely control your recovery speed to only 10%, and I can also use Reiatsu to completely suppress your recovery speed. At that time, your proud ability would be useless."

Varen's words made Marco feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"I... I lost."

Although reluctant, in the face of that unusually huge Reiatsu, Marco deeply felt his own powerlessness.

And Varen using Reiatsu to restrain his recovery speed as a punishment made Marco feel a deadly threat.

[Defeat the future captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco, the template has been unlocked to 15.3%]

Along with Marco's voice, the system's notification tone sounded again.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"

At this moment, Whitebeard suddenly burst out laughing, and that majestic and resonant voice immediately dispelled the embarrassing atmosphere on the Moby Dick.

"Marco, it's normal to lose. Work hard in the future." Whitebeard didn't mean to blame Marco. After all, facing the monster Varen, to be honest, only the captain of the first division under his team, Hunting Shadow, could fight against him.

He simply wanted to let Marco see the vastness of the world so that he could grow faster in the future.

And the more important point is that he has seen how powerful this young Marine student in front of him is.

"To be honest, the more perfect you are, the more I want to make you my own son. How about it? Do you want to give up Marine and bear my name?"

Whitebeard's evaluation of Varen was quite high, and he even had the idea of poaching Marine's talent. One can imagine how highly he thought of Varen.

"Sorry, I'm Marine."

Without saying a word, Varen just expressed his current position very firmly.

Now he is Marine. In the future, even if he is not Marine, he will not be a pirate.

"Really? It's really enviable for those guys in Marine to get a genius like you. If nothing else happens, you might be able to become a Marine Admiral within ten years. A less than thirty-year-old Marine Admiral is truly enviable." Whitebeard commented very seriously.

That's his truest assessment of Varen.

Within ten years, Varen would be a Marine Admiral!

Hearing this, many people present were a little shocked.

It was the first time they had seen Whitebeard praise someone so much!

Marine Admiral!

Undoubtedly, these are also the strongest members of the big pirates who can be compared with the three big pirates themselves.

Any Admiral-level strength can set off a huge wave in this sea area, or directly guard a piece of territory
