Just a reminder, this is major hype for Marco.
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 Big Mom knows she cannot win this fight without Perospero and immediately runs away when he is taken out of the picture.
Marco = Big Mom + Perospero < Any Admiral
