Chapter 132 - Teaching how to use the Zanpakuto

Seeing that Whitebeard had stopped speaking, Doflamingo breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his attention back to the scene below, where Zanpakuto were being distributed.

Doflamingo could tell at a glance that these individuals were likely the strongest combatants in the Whitebeard Pirates, aside from the division commanders.

Although they were strong, Doflamingo was still confident he could defeat them!

But now, things were different.

The Zanpakuto in their hands were something Doflamingo had long coveted.

With these Zanpakuto, Doflamingo understood that he would need to be extra cautious when facing them and it might even be best to avoid direct confrontation altogether.

The combatants were thrilled as they received their own Zanpakuto.

The onlookers watched with envy in their eyes!

Who would have thought that even these second-in-command members could experience the power of Zanpakuto!

The might of the Zanpakuto was already known even to those who hadn't witnessed it firsthand, A weapon that countless crew members dreamed of possessing.

Marco stepped forward from among the division commanders.

"Everyone, quiet down!" Marco cleared his throat and shouted loudly at the noisy crowd.

The moment they saw it was Marco speaking, everyone immediately fell silent.

The observing combatants also obediently closed their mouths.

"All of you have now received your own Zanpakuto!"

"That's right, this is the latest invention from Pryce that you've all been eagerly anticipating—the Zanpakuto"

"Now, I'm going to explain in detail how to use the Zanpakuto. This is very important, so listen carefully and learn with focus!"

Marco set aside his usual playful demeanor and spoke with a serious tone.

He then pulled out a Zanpakuto that hadn't been charged yet.

"The Zanpakuto can absorb any type of energy, elemental energy and even Haki, and then release it all in one blast!" As Marco spoke, his entire body began to burn with azure flames.

The flames quickly surged into the Zanpakuto at a visible speed!

All the combatants were captivated by this wondrous scene, their eyes fixed on Marco every move.

Although Marco flames weren't the color of traditional fire, they were inherited from the phoenix and were even hotter than ordinary flames.

Ordinary steel couldn't withstand Marco flames and would instantly melt into molten metal, This was something all the combatants on the ship knew.

There was even a time when Marco fought a pirate who wielded one of the 50 Skillful Grade Swords and he used his high-temperature flames to melt that sword into molten steel.

Yet, the Zanpakuto in Marco hand remained completely unharmed!

It didn't even show any signs of being heated!

"Pryce invention of the Zanpakuto is truly incredible!"

"Absolutely, this surpasses even the 50 Skillful Grade Swords, It's at least on par with the 21 Great Grade Swords!"

The combatants marveled at the Zanpakuto incredible and mysterious power.

Seeing that his flames had been sufficiently channeled, Marco withdrew them.

"Not just elemental energy, but even Armament Haki can be absorbed without any issue!"

Marco spoke as his arm holding the Zanpakuto turned black, with Armament Haki completely covering it.

The black Armament Haki flowed like liquid into the Zanpakuto.

"Hey, brats, don't just stand there watching—give it a try yourselves!"

"If you don't have flames, that's fine, but you've got Armament Haki, right?"

Marco looked at the stunned fighters below, both amused and exasperated, and shouted loudly.

The fighters snapped out of their daze at Marco roar and quickly grabbed their own Zanpakuto, attempting to channel their Armament Haki into the blades.

As elite fighters of the Whitebeard Pirates, they naturally had mastery over Armament Haki, and their proficiency was quite high.

"Whoa, it's really going in"

"Yeah, this is amazing"

"Armament Haki can be used like this? This Zanpakuto is incredible!"

Feeling the mysterious sensation of the Armament Haki flowing like liquid into their Zanpakuto, the fighters chattered excitedly.

Their hearts were filled with shock and wonder!

After a while, someone noticed that their Armament Haki seemed to stop flowing into the Zanpakuto.

"Commander Marco, my Armament Haki isn't going into the Zanpakuto anymore. Is it full, or is something wrong with the Zanpakuto?" Marco deputy scratched his head, puzzled.

Marco jumped down and gave his deputy a sharp knock on the head.

"Why'd you hit me, Commander?" The deputy rubbed the bump on his head, feeling wronged.

"I hit you for saying something stupid!"

"Has anything Pryce invented ever had a problem?"

"Did the Senzu Beans you ate have issues?"

"Or the teleportation talismans you used?"

"Or the explosive tags and bullets? Did they ever fail?"

"You've been in the Time Chamber plenty of times—did that ever have problems?" Marco spoke rapidly.

"I was wrong, Commander. Please calm down!"

"Of course, I know Vice Captain Pryce inventions are all reliable!"

The deputy quickly apologized with a forced smile.

Marco glanced at him and gave him another knock on the head.

"Ah, Commander!"

"Why'd you hit me again?" The deputy was on the verge of tears.

He had already apologized, so why was he hit again? And Marco hits were brutal—both strikes landed in the same spot, making it incredibly painful!

"The second hit was for showing off, for overestimating yourself!"

"Kid, do you know it took over ten of us commanders taking turns to fully charge a single Zanpakuto and even then, it took more than ten minutes?"

"You think you can fill it up in just a few minutes?" Marco grew angrier as he spoke and was about to hit his deputy again.

"Stop hitting me, Commander!"

"You never told me, so how was I supposed to know?" The deputy quickly covered his head, looking pitiful.

"Huh?" Marco stopped in his tracks.

"Didn't I mention it before?"

"Armament Haki can only be used for a short while and the same goes for Conqueror's Haki!"

Marco glanced at Jozu and the others who were watching the show from the platform, a hint of confusion in his voice.

Jozu laughed and shook his head and the other fighters joined in the laughter.

Only Marco deputy had a dark expression on his face—this was a beating he didn't deserve!

"Better late than never!" Marco waved his hand dismissively, speaking with a shameless tone.
