She literally says she doesn't have a soul at the moment which is why she let him go. She wants to increase her power by taking his soul.
Marco was literally sweating and unable to do anything. Big L for you admiral fans. Tremendous L. Why do you think
@Admiral Lee Hung went into hiding?
She would turn him into a homie. He isn't strong enough to tango with her.
Speed? She grabbed Marco 1v1 which means her combat speed >his. This same Marco could easily keep up with Akainu.
Haki? We haven't seen what she can do with haki.
His magma will do nothing to her. She doesn't even need to use haki to block the magma. She got hit with Zeus and shrugged it off. Lightning>>>> magma in terms of heat.
Who is hiding? Lol, I know reading comprehension is your weak point as most subtleties in OP which are meant for babies go straight over your head, so let’s go through this frame by frame.
Firstly, Marco and Big Mom clash
as equals:
With
Big Mom clearly looking scared of Marco in the bottom right panel while Marco doesn’t look deterred in the slightest.
Note that
Big Mom is using her full power here and
Marco still had the advantage as he wounds Prometheus, unlike Marco vs Akainu where Akainu was trying to kill an unconscious Luffy with his weakest attack and Marco blocked an attack meant for fodder while using barrier Haki when Akainu didn’t even know Marco was near him lol.
Marco needed barrier Haki to block Akainu’s weakest attack, but didn’t need Haki to outright win a clash vs full power Big Mom.
Then after Big Mom grabs Marco,
Perospero has to double team Marco with big mom:
Notice that
Marco is literally smiling as he clashes with Big Mom, and only shows concern when Perospero intervenes,
as he knows he was winning against Big Mom 1v1, but as she needs one her of children to gain the advantage against a YC1, she had to play dirty.
Then, notice
Big Mom’s look of sheer terror when her advantage disappears:
As she knows she cannot win this fight without Perospero and immediately runs away when he is taken out of the picture.
Compare this to
Marco double teaming Akainu with Vista and still shitting himself in the process while accomplishing nothing:
And then Akainu later solo’ing Marco and his whole squad:
To Big Mom running away from Marco and Sulong Carrot and Wanda lmfao. This is yet another hardcore L for team Yonko. This is 10x more incriminating than Mihawk who postponed his fight vs Vista because he was bored lmfao.
