And vice versa lol. The whole point of their interaction was to show some level of equal standing on both sides of the war, even if Marco isn't supposed to be an admiral level fighter or is (we truly can't say for sure yet).
This is the same manga that had Akainu fatally damage a sick Whitebeard, but then proceeded to get fucked in 2 hits from him instantly. Powerscaling isn't 1:1, it never has been.
Marco/Kizaru was meant to show s

can use it to hype Marco if they want. Yall act like any normal pirate can also tank Kizaru's lasers and launch him away with a kick
