General & Others For what reason exactly would Marco stop fighting King ?

[The White Crane]

It seems a lot of theories suggest Zoro is fighting King‚ but what I can't tell is‚ what exactly would make Marco stop fighting ? If Zoro is there‚ Marco can just double team King. This is a war‚ I don't believe Marco will be like ' You are the future generation‚ I leave it to you ' thing

What are your predictions on how or why Marco will stop fighting King or how he will substitute the fight with someone else ( even if it is not Zoro ) ? And that is if ( a big if ) that happens to begin with‚ that he stops fighting for some reason

Plus showing Marco defeated by King and needing assistance is unlikely to happen. Would show Marco as a weak first commander

My guess is King will order every BP member below the rooftop to put on their gas mask and then unleash Caesar's nuke (the one used to wipe out Zou).

Marco will utilize all his regenerative fire to cancel out all the poison gas and save all the alliance. Marco survives, but uses up all of his power temporarily and is therefore weakened. King is livid, but sees this as a chance to kill off Marco for good, so he mercilessly slices off Marco many times.

Before King can deliver the finishing blow, however, Zoro intervenes and returns Marco's favor.

Zoro then says, "After I am done here, the fire on your back should lit the candles nicely."

"...what candles?"

"The ones on your funeral" Zoro displays that devilish grin of his, "As well as your captain's."

It's been obvious since that Perospero panel that Marco is getting yeeted from the fight.

What's Neko going to do?

Anyways we will find out most likely with chapter 1020 where Zoro and Marco might end up. No point in delaying Zoro's healing anmore, and chapter 2020, exactly 10 chapters after 1010, would be a perfect way to revive Zoro and bring him back into the action.
This makes me dread the next week's break even more Fuck the Olympics

Yeah. Unless 1020 will prominently be about other F6 fights lol. I admit though I would like if finally we got to Franky and Robin v Maria......

Plot connections do not have to serve how a fight starts. See Franky vs Sasaki or Sanji vs Jabra. If a connection happens after the fact (Jinbe vs WsW) then great, but it does not need to define a match.

Plot connections can support matchups (Sanji vs Queen) but the opposite does not have

I see your point, but majority of the matchups have lowkey some meaning (even if weak):
- Black Maria was looking for Robin since the start
- Sasaki could still be related to Kokoro
- Who's Who touches an argument Jimbe is really sensible about
- Hawkins rapresents a checkpoint in Killer's personal revenge
- Drake and Apoo (if this is really a matchup, which I doubt) is sort of a battle of traitors/insiders
- Queen has backstory with Judge
- Jack has backstory with Inu (even tho Inu is gonna lose imo)
- King seems designed to be Marco's counterpart in every way

What I mean is: Zoro vs King is not impossible and has chances of happening, but Zoro going to fight Kaido with Luffy and Yamato seems like a safee bet to me

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Marco doesn't even know where luffy is.

Luffy has telepathy

Marco defeating king goes against the theme of this arc. Marco already said he’s gonna go to kaido at some point. Marco was stalling king and queen so it makes no sense for him to beat king alone in that case Marco should beat king and queen.

kings whole background is a mystery. He could have killed one of Zoros family’s or be his father.

So far everything supports Marco heading to the roof and izo and Kawatsmu stalling king and being hype tools until zoro comes in

Bro as I said to Paper it's a likely scenario but still not the one I see incoming...
It's a 60%-40% atm imo

Luffy has telepathy

that telepathy only works between the son of prodigy, my friend.

[mugiwalaw]

o shit i forgot that one, but do you thing Luffy would telepath Marco and say "hey pineapple head please pick me up, my parents not home" voila uber-marco

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Also...

He has had the intention of fighting Kaido or supporting that fight. Difference between him and Zoro is that Zoro already attempted and said to leave it to his captain.

Marco has yet to play up on his dialogue, unlike Zoro. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this comment as per usual

Marco might go after Kaido at some point.....

I'm still leaning on Big Mom though.

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

I forget which chapter it was, but Marco did state "I still don't know what my role in this war will be" or something to that effect.

I highly doubt he's meant to be on Onigashima to either defeat King, or help Zoro defeat King. To me is seems nonsensical for Oda to even bring Marco to Wano, if that is all he's meant to do. There is a multitude of other ways Oda could work around King's defeat, rather than just bringing in a Yonko Commander to defeat another Yonko commander. At this point, that needs to be reserved for Zoro and Sanji.

If it turns out Yamato is in fact a Mythical Qiqirn, then it seems Oda does in fact plan of expanding upon the Momotaro theme Wano has going on with the "Monkey, Pheasant and Dog." This will bring Marco to the forefront of the War, which is befitting to have Whitebeards First Mate there to witness the man who killed Oden's defeat with his own eyes, and the birth of a New Era.

-He needs to rest since he used his powers on a ton of people.
-He needs to go and stall BM or Kaido.

yes

Luffy literally never travels using gear 4th. He could have easily done it at the beginning of the war to get to the rooftop with the scabbards, but he didn't. He could have done it to easily get to doffy in dressrosa, but he didn't.

Gear 4th burns stamina and Luffy can't use it so flippantly.

I guess you could say momonosuke could fly luffy up, but that would honestly be worst. Unlike Marco, who was kinda shoehorned into the arc, Momonosuke is an integral part of this arc. imo he should either fight orochi, control the flame clouds, or both.

 

[U c 4 up da idly]

Marco will go wherever the plot demands him

 

[Uncle Van]

Which would be bad story telling‚ cause Marco is a first commander with unlimited healing

Oda said Marco's healing has a limit. It can be used up. We even saw Marco with bandages after MF.

still too absurd like wtf suddenly he can telepath everyone now?
perhaps its still better for Onigashima too land on the capital than telepathing Marco and ask for a ride out of nowhere.

He had sea stone chains

 

[Formerly Seth]

Unless King is revealed as the one who destroyed Ringo (with Zoro being confirmed to be related to it), then I don't see Zoro vs King happening.
1st Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates vs 1st Commander of the Beast Pirates.
Zoro goes to help Luffy and Yamato, at the same time Kidd and Law will receive an additional help against Linlin (possibly Killer himself, after cutting Hawkins down).

Who the fuck cares about shit like that.

Ringo or not. King is ass with his portrayal. Zoro will be 100% now. There is no way Oda would waste Zoro like that. Maybe if he still was in the state pre Chopper drug.

 

[Uncle Van]

He had sea stone chains

How does that change the fact that in SBS, Oda said Marco's healing is limited and that he had bandages AFTER MF aka no cuffs?
