I am probably wrong, but my impression is that:
At this moment Marco's arrival (a very mysterious arrival) is the only reason why this whole raid on Onihashima did not end in a major disaster.
And this chapter has made it very clear to me - if Marco is defeated - it's over.
The fact that Marco is able to fight King and Queen simultaneously all this time is simply incredible. Our smiling Marco is a fucking monster.
