Chapter 111 Battle with Whitebeard 1

Luo Tian had just set foot on the island and hadn't even had a chance to get his footing when he found himself surrounded by a group of menacing people.

They were clearly all members of the renowned Whitebeard Pirates.

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky, and a figure rushed down like lightning, landing steadily in front of Luo Tian.

Upon closer inspection, the newcomer turned out to be none other than Marco the Phoenix, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates! His arms had transformed into a pair of blue flame wings, burning fiercely as if they were about to ignite the surrounding air.

Marco stared sharply at Luo Tian, ​​looked him up and down, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Clearly, he recognized the uninvited guest.

Then, he asked...

"Luo Tian, ​​what is your purpose in coming here?"

His voice was deep and authoritative, making it impossible for anyone to ignore him.

Faced with Marco's questioning, Luo Tian revealed a faint smile.

He met the other person's gaze without fear and spoke calmly.

"I'm here just to challenge your old man, the legendary Whitebeard."

Having said that, he crossed his arms and stood there quietly, waiting for Marco's response.

Upon hearing Luo Tian's words, Marco's eyes widened in surprise, clearly astonished by his answer.

It should be noted that Whitebeard was a renowned pirate who was famous throughout the world. His strength was among the top, and very few people dared to challenge him.

However, Marco was truly surprised by the boldness of the seemingly young man before him.

Seeing Marco's surprised expression, Luo Tian instantly understood.

Presumably, the message that he had asked Shanks to pass on his message that he was coming to challenge Whitebeard had not reached their ears.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian cursed inwardly.

"That Shanks, he promised so readily, but he hasn't even sent a message. Next time I see him, I'm going to give him a good beating! But thinking about it, it's understandable, after all, he was defeated by me once, and it's really embarrassing to talk about something like that..."

After hearing Luo Tian's words, Marco secretly pondered how to persuade this ill-intentioned person in front of him to leave.

After all, before Luo Tian went into seclusion, Marco had a general understanding of Luo Tian's strength through various newspapers and related news reports he had read.

However, since Luo Tian has been missing for a long time, what he has experienced during this period and to what extent his true strength has improved are all unknown.

But the most crucial issue right now is that my father's health is deteriorating, and he is currently receiving intravenous treatment. There is really no need for him to participate in such a meaningless and unpredictable battle.

Marco took a deep breath and then solemnly addressed Luo Tian.

"Please stop here. My father has no intention of accepting the challenge at the moment."

Faced with Marco's words, Luo Tian showed a look of disdain, and then responded with a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Oh? Is this the kind of spirit that the Four Emperors should have? It seems that's all there is to it!"

Marco clearly understood that Luo Tian's actions were nothing more than an attempt to provoke them.

Despite knowing the other party's intentions, it was clearly not easy to dismiss Luo Tian with just a few words.

Therefore, Marco stared intently at Luo Tian and spoke with a solemn expression.

"Looks like you're determined to challenge my father today?"

"Yes, that's right, I can't have come all this way for nothing."

Luo Tian responded.

Marco narrowed his eyes slightly and looked behind Luo Tian; there was no one there.

"Didn't Luo Tian expect to face us first, since he came alone without any crew members? Or is he really so confident that he can deal with us on his own?"

However, Marco quickly dismissed these thoughts, knowing full well that no matter what, the Whitebeard Pirates would not allow anyone to easily challenge their father's authority.

Thinking of this, Marco composed himself and then said coldly to Luo Tian.

"Alright! Since you're so eager to challenge your father, you'll have to get past us first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates standing to the side immediately realized that this uninvited guest had come to cause trouble for their father.

In an instant, the crowd was filled with rage. Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates stared at Luo Tian with wide eyes, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Immediately afterwards, Marco took a deep breath, and instantly his arms began to change, transforming into a pair of huge and dazzling blue flame wings.

With a roar, Marco spread his wings and soared into the sky, rushing towards Luo Tian like a fierce falcon.

Just then, Marco's entire body burst into flames, and the powerful force of his Phoenix Fruit erupted instantly, propelling him straight towards Luo Tian like a burning meteor.

Meanwhile, the captains of the other squads followed Marco closely without hesitation, launching a fierce attack on Luo Tian together.

Third Division Captain Jozu shouted and activated the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

In an instant, dazzling light burst forth from his body, and half of his body was covered by incredibly hard diamonds.

Joz strode forward with tremendous force, charging towards Luo Tian and roaring.

"You think you can challenge your father? Prepare to die, Luo Tian!"

On the other side, Fifth Division Captain Vista appeared behind Luo Tian in a flash, like a ghost.

He swiftly drew two sharp longswords from his waist, their cold light flashing as he prepared to swing them at Luo Tian.

For a time, Luo Tian found himself in a predicament with powerful enemies in front and pursuers behind.

However, Luo Tian did not show the slightest panic in the face of such a critical situation.

Then he suddenly activated his special ability—Flash.

With a spatial fluctuation, in the blink of an eye, Luo Tian appeared in mid-air as if he had teleported.

Everyone was stunned to see Luo Tian suddenly disappear, but the attack they launched had already begun.

Luo Tian stood steadily in the air, his feet resting on Marco's back as he flew rapidly towards him, while also making a sarcastic remark.

"Oh, do you know what water at 100 degrees Celsius is called?"

Marco was shocked to hear Luo Tian's voice coming from behind him and turned around to look at Luo Tian.

"It's a boiling point, buddy."

After saying that, Luo Tian suddenly exerted force with his foot and kicked Marco, who was beneath him.

This kick contained tremendous power, sending Marco flying like a cannonball towards Joz and Vista on the ground.

As Marco hurtled towards them like a falling meteor, Jozu and Vista were both terrified.

But they were, after all, seasoned veterans, and their reactions were extremely quick.

The two immediately used all their skills, each unleashing their special moves to try and withstand the sudden attack.

Finally, a deafening roar was heard as Marco, Jozu, and Vista's attacks collided heavily.
