Lol at least, in the scanlation, you could speculate that Mama may have left to find a suitable soul(weapon) for Marco, but then the viz came out


It's more that Big Mom said she doesn't want to waste her soul(weapons) on Marco now, which means that

- Big Mom knows she can't beat Marco without her devil fruit
- She knows that fighting Marco now would be detrimental to her since it'd at the very least lead to her losing her main weapons

And it makes more sense tbh. I was wondering what kind of weapon Big Mom would find when she already had all her main weapons available on her(Promotheus, Zeus, Napoleon).

Where are all the people who said BM could no diff Marco with her bare hands/haki only? Lol

Official translation below. So Big Mom can't beat Marco in base form without the use of souls @Rosella.Fiamingo @Jo_Ndule

I really don't buy this... oda made linlij give a dumb excuse...this woman can make up a soul to counter Marco...she is ready to waste souls on homies to capture nami

Why doesn't She wanna waste/spare souls on Marco ?
of course Marco df makes this dude annoying to finish.

Base Linlin still wreck Marco....even if it takes her time.
As soon as she got tired of playing, she said "that's enough from you " and Marco got choked.
She could have used haki and trash him for hours till regen runs out.

I don't have souls to spare on you now
Meaning she needs a homie that counter his regen/flames quick.

BTW...the translation takes away "linlin can match or be a challenge to Linlin"
She literally neutralised him as soon as she got bored and saw Promotheus won't be useful

sorry Bogard

Unless you believe Linlin can spare and make homies to finish Nami but doesn't wanna fight Marco
Are you saying Marco is lesser threat than Nami?

My point isn't Marco losing or not but Linlin saying she doesn't have any soul to spare...when she only used Prometheus! And is able to make any homie.

"Marco can't be this strong" lol
Nobody sees Marco higher...linlin immobilised him as soon as she got bored

B-but I thought BM could easily beat Marco just with her phsyical strenght :josad:
Not sure why people assumed this. Even Admirals/VAs and the like had to resort to Kairoseki handcuffs. If Marco was scared of BM it would be different.

Essentially everything is situational when it comes to these battles.

It seems like some of your diplomas are forfeit on you. Either that or you were scammed and bamboozled and you need to go get back your money.

Anyone with any basic level reading comprehension knows that the whole sequence and following the cadence of the whole conversation outright spells out that she was just helping Perospero out.

She does not deem him important enough to employ her strongest tools (Her Soul Weapons) on him. And lol at the downplay

"She needs to use her DF" What are they for then anyway? Newgate and the Admirals must blow for needing to use their Main Power to hurt strong individuals. Newgate must be a scrub for employing his quakes on Marine Fodder and Captain John.

Her Soul Power is literally one of the most broken and versatile ability in the series.


Theres a difference between efficiency and effectiveness.

She could have taken out Napoleon and blasted Capone Apart with Ikoku (Thats both effective and efficent) but she chooses to use her fists (It was effective but she clearly had more efficent paths)

The same is obvious here. She could have used her fists and Haki and beat him until he was black and blue. She had him in a death grip so she was free do whatever she wanted with her free hand so, using her fists and Haki is effective but nature of Marco's powers means that it's not an efficient use of her resources and time. She wants to deal with other people and wants to teach Perospero about personally squashing personal beef.

She could have beaten him but it's going to take at least several hours. Marco's fruit is built to stall people stronger than him. Thats why he runs in there without any worry. Her fists are less efficient than soul weapons in this scenario.

Effectiveness and efficiency are not always corollary. For example, in any form of chemical synthesis, there are dozens of "effective" ways to reach a final product but that doesn't mean they're efficient. Those methods are "effective" because you reach the desired product but you may have to waste way more reagents or time using one method than using another and accomplishing the same goal with more yield and less time.

She can beat his ass with her fists all she wants but in this scenario where returning to the battlefield to personally squash her own beefs, using Marco like a punching bag is not an efficient use of her time or efforts.

For those willing to be intellectually dishonest,

Go Get your money back and hand back that crayon forged Diploma. I say this with my love and sincerity.

The fight was off-paneled. The scene we see was only one moment of their fight. We need to know if the special properties of Marco's flames counter all Big Mom's homies or just Promotheus. But regardless of that, a single clash may have been enough for her to conclude that her other weapons wouldn't help, or rather it'd end up detrimental to her even if she ended up winning.

The entire dialogue was resolving around the fact that Big Mom wanted to be part of the big battle and thus if she had her main weapons wasted by Marco before even engaging in the main battle, it'd have been detrimental to her, hence why she decided to avoid the fight now

Dont bring logic

Linlin can crush Marco
These guys believe Pero would kill Marco while he was choked but thinkk Linlin wouldn't crush Marco till regen runs out.

She neutralised him in seconds when she got tired.
She needs a homie to be more effective! Using haki and fists will take time.

Like you said ,she could have pulverised Capone with Ikkoku but nah plot had her using fists.

The fight wasn't offpanel. If they really fought that long, neither prometheus and linlij should he shocked that Marco can hurt prometheus.

brook hurt Zeus, homies only wore bandage after being cut by brook.

She literally had Marco neutralised,
She didn't even need to use any homie at this point coz Marco can't break free...just handcuff Marco or restrain him to the battlefield.

I think oda just wanted Marco to cure Onis
Coz linlin leaving Marco is nothing linlin


about the thread theme,
Can Linlin beat Marco without homies? Yes she can! Marco regen is limited.
We already know Marco can't hurt her nor do anything ince caught.

This is a lie.

Here Kizaru injures Marco before he gets handcuffed, he is spitting blood.
And you can see that he's still injured right before Onigumo handcuffs him.

of course, just because he can recover doesnt mean he cant get hurt, he gets hurt but he just recovers, that happens after every attack and Garp is nothing special
