Questions & Mysteries Why didn’t WB just send Marco to free Ace prior to MF?

Magellan took G2 almost exactly like Garp did loool

But Magellan alone is a glass canon who anyone and their grandmas can one shot :suresure:
The thing is we later see Garp eating hits from Kuzan who's >>>>>> pre ts Luffy and Magellan
Magellan's feats are being trolled hard by Ivankov and getting rocked by G3 and G2
So how is he going to stop Marco who made Zoan Queen cough a puddle of blood with Phoenix Brand? It'd probably kill him.

So until Garp fought Kuzan in the manga he was Pre Ts Luffy level, gotcha.

Magellan doesn't have that portrayal, dude was a legitimate bum that got hard carried by his fruit,
The dude who beat Shiryu, the dude who washed Ivankov, the dude who had Croc, Ivankov & Jinbe running away instead of fighting him.. the dude who made a fool out of Teach & his crew singlehandedly... ofcourse he is pre timeskip Luffy level.

don't even know how you thought he was Admiral level lol
That was an inside joke, & you just didnt get it.

The dude who beat Shiryu
Hax plus Shiryu was said to be equal to Magellan so it was likely a very hard fight or Magellan got help
the dude who washed Ivankov,
Ivankov was fine, dude was trolling him throughout the whole fight lol, he was so unafraid that he legitimately thought he could escape any time but wanted to wait until Dragon made a move
the dude who had Croc, Ivankov & Jinbe running away instead of fighting him..
Jinbe outright said they had no time to fight because they needed to save Ace lmao
the dude who made a fool out of Teach & his crew singlehandedly... ofcourse he is pre timeskip Luffy level.
Beating them with hax that they didn't know he had, whoopee.
That was an inside joke, & you just didnt get it.
:pepelit:

Marco's too weak to take on Magellan.
Marco would have a matchup advantage against Magellan, so I'm pretty sure he would win. They should be on a similar level without factoring in matchup advantages. Though even if Marco is weaker than Magellan, he has a much better chance at beating Magellan than the WBPs did at beating the Marines

Magellan isn't very impressive imo
If Oda retcons him I might change my mind but for now he's pretty weak

Invading impel down would have made much more sense no matter how you slice it. Magellan + shiryuu being the biggest threat versus all the admirals and the rest of the marines. Teach demonstrated that a high high tier with a tiny crew could free anyone they wanted without too much trouble.

But saving Ace was only part of the point. Perhaps even more importantly, the WBP needed to demonstrate that anyone who dares to harm one of their crew faces their wrath, even if it’s the world government. It was about sending a message. Unfortunately, the marines were far, far too much for them to handle.

Breaking into ID isn't a great idea with Magellan there. While I think that Marco would be able to hold his own against him, ID (a claustrophobic, underwater place) is the perfect place for Magellan's abilities (and the worst place for someone as destructive as Whitebeard, if he had gone there). I don't think that he (or anyone for that matter) would be able to come out alive from a battle against Magellan in ID, unless he had a helpful Shiryu in his pocket, and he also wouldn't be able to avoid him. On top of that, ID is located in the Calm Belt, so Marco would need to do it alone and find a way to bring Ace (and Jinbe, he was there too) back all the way up and out of the WG facilities. Ivankov also wouldn't help him, as he almost didn't help Luffy.

Intercepting the escort would be better, but I don't think that they knew about Ace's capture at the time. When they got the info, Ace was probably arriving in ID already. It was a tough situation, in the end they had to attack the HQ.

One thing that I always wondered is why Whitebeard didn't send Marco WITH Ace to go after Blackbeard. One of Ace's flashbacks has shown that WB was uneasy, but didn't send anyone to help Ace anyway.
