1. Marco hasn't really demonstrated an ability to hurt King, while we know that Marco was eventually defeated in canon against King.

King appears to be _at least_a match for Marco as far as defence/ability to withstand damage is concerned.

Offensively, be outclasses Marco very badly.

2. Awakening is also enough to jump a class. As is some special Lunarian mode that boosts his stats.

Whichever it is, his trump card should be at least as big of a boost for King as the Vinsmoke powers were for Queen.

We've been through this already lol, ive made my argument as to why i think marco can hurt king initially at the start of the encounter.

depending on the trump card, it'll be easier to scale king finally.

Marco did superficial damage (way less blood than Rengoku Oni Giri), and that kind of damage is not meaningful to an Ancient Zoan.
Cinera

Marco drew way more blood from Queen than he did from King, and Queen wasn't hindered by Marco's attacks.

> depending on the trump card, it'll be easier to scale king finally.

King's current showings are already a class above Marco.

Accumulated damage does hurt an Ancient Zoan - just look at Queen from this chapter.

@Cinera : "King's current showings are already a class above Marco."

Above marco? yeah.
A class above? not yet.

King was at virtually 100% when he started fighting Zoro.

He didn't accumulate noticeable damage from Marco.

It does matter in a 1v1 between them. Marco's battles during the Onigashima raid was at no point a clear cut fair 1v1. That doesn't take anything away from King but it only goes on to show Marco's strengths.
Cinera

Marco had a protracted 1 vs 1 with King for 30+ minutes (Chopper's monster point and Sanji vs Queen Part 1).
Cinera

Marco was defeated at the end of that confrontation while King was still in top shape.

Mind you, this was a very casual King (his mask hadn't been damaged yet), and he didn't use:

* Hybrid
* Tempura Udon
* His self explosion
* Hardening

1. we know marco was exhausted.
2. we know there is a hax behind hurting king and marco just figured out that king is a lunarian at the end of the encounter.
3. with marco's stamina directly tied to his regeneration - once he reaches that limit, it isnt hard to beat him.

1. I'm not ragging on Marco for losing, he wasn't even able to deplete King's stamina.
