Summary
Serving as the commander of the first division within the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco holds authority over lower-ranking subordinates and ranks among the top four fighters aboard the ship, second only to Whitebeard. His combat prowess is evident in his ability to withstand the potent Haki of Yonkou Shanks without losing consciousness. He demonstrates incredible reflexes, capable of instantly countering light-speed movements and attacks from Kizaru to shield Whitebeard. Notably, he was able to make physical contact with Kizaru, who is typically intangible due to his Logia powers, suggesting that Marco possesses the ability to use Haki. He exhibits super-human strength, demonstrated when he forcefully kicked Kizaru to the ground at high velocity, though it remains unclear whether this power is innate or derived from his Zoan abilities. Marco consumed a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that grants him the form of a Phoenix, a power type considered rarer than Logia. This ability bestows enhanced speed, flight capabilities for aerial assaults, and the capacity to regenerate any injuries using blue flames. These regenerative properties earned him the moniker Marco the Phoenix. His mastery over this Devil Fruit surpasses that of any other known Zoan user, allowing for partial transformation where he can alter specific limbs while keeping the rest of his body human.
