Future Events Will we ever see a Marco flashback?
- Thread starter Blax Blah
- Start date
Sadly I don't think so at this point. I expected one during Wano, a short one at least. The WB pirates are criminally neglected and just done downright dirty by Oda and then some.
The Weevil storyline gave me slim hope but that went nowhere. We've still not seen the payback war and I doubt we ever will now too.
I'd love to see how he met Oyaji and joined him, I remember seeing a sweet fanart showing him joining WB. Marcos respect for him is really sweet even though his attitude towards WB at Wano angered me and felt OOC.
Marco is the GOAT though, pineapple phoenix doctor man. I would have loved to see him get awakening and the full potential of his fruit but him vs king and queen was freaking awesome though.
Oda could surprise us but I'm not getting my hopes up. It's interesting how Shanks wanted to recruit him twice now. Maybe we'll get more on him in Shanks or Blackbeard arc but I'm not hopeful. Weevil being offscreen captured was absolutely awful writing, just like him targeting the WBP and allies in "revenge" and also offscreening them too.
I loved the theory that Marco was alive for centuries being reborn by his devil fruit constantly and thus being much older than he appears and thus "Oyaji" himself ironically. Would have been hilarious if he was the egg on Roger's ship somehow if it were ever possible.

We saw it already, it's called Oden's flashback.
If we ever see Marco's past again, it'll be in someone else's flashback too. For example, a very small Marco (about 5 years old) could appear at the end of the Rocks' flashback we're seeing right now (he was possibly WB's first recruit, so he might've been invited right after God Valley). He's just a supporting character and has no ties to the main plot anymore, so I doubt that we'll be seeing him until the final arc.

In general Marco still has two chances for more story relevance. Weevil plotline and then final battle with Blackbeard.
I'm sure Marco will get featured in more but he won't be the main focus. In this God Valley flashback we might see Whitebeard get his original top men like Rakuyo and Whitey Bay, but Marco is just too young, even years later he's still an apprentice. Though if he's actually with WB during this time we could get a panel of him playing with Big Mom's kids.
