Chapter 370 Kizaru
However, in addition to arranging marines to observe Whitebeard, Kizaru also arranged Kizaru's direct shield team to follow behind, because Weevil's destructive power was too great, and wherever it went, innocent towns were razed to the ground. For this reason, Kizaru specially arranged these people, and also wanted to stop Weevil's chaos at any time.
The Shield Team's defense is very high, just to counter the power of Weevil. Unfortunately, although the defense has been strengthened, this little protective measure is not worth mentioning in front of the furious Weevil.
Faced with Weevil's rampage, even the Marines became afraid. Although they hid behind the iron barrel formation, they still broke out in cold sweat under the shields, fearing that they would be easily wiped out.
First, after losing the title of Shichibukai, it was also a troublesome thing for Weeble and Bakin, but Kizaru still did not take it seriously enough and did not send out particularly powerful characters to fight back.
Ba Jin had seen through everything and told his son that he could beat them hard. Wilbur was extremely excited at this time and said that there was no other way and he would destroy them in the name of Whitebeard because these marines were no longer his companions.
Second, this melee defense formation is a piece of cake for the Seven Warlords of the Sea Whitebeard Weevil. The well-equipped shield team directly under Kizaru will soon be wiped out by him. This style of play is very similar to the method used by Fisher Tiger to sneak attack the Fishman Pirates.
And it had a miraculous effect in that battle. Under the surprise attack, Fisher Tiger, the strongest fishman, soon fell in the siege. Now the upgraded shield team has little effect against Weeble.
Third, this Weevil will definitely be like a no man's land in the future, and ordinary marines will be unable to do anything to him. But he will soon be targeted by the Four Emperors Blackbeard Teach.
Fourth, because in the animation, Teach led his Blackbeard Pirates and stated menacingly that he would capture those who had been stripped of the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea. This is a double entendre.
Not only do they need to obtain the rare devil fruit, but they also need to recruit the talents of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The powerful Weevil will be noticed by Teach and recruited, of course, this also depends on the mother Bakin's idea.
If he wants to expand his strength, Teach will definitely extend an olive branch to Weevil, just like he did when he recruited the Shichibukai Moriah, because Teach is willing to recruit even Aokiji, so he will definitely let go of the past grudges. Then, this capable partner of the Shichibukai Weevil will definitely be within Teach's consideration.
Many people say that Marco's image has changed a lot. In the past, when he was in "Peak Fight", he looked like a young man with a tall figure and gave people a very reliable impression.
However, in the latest episode of the anime, Xiao Ma Ge, who transformed into the "Phoenix", looks a little fat. Instead of being as muscular as before, he looks more middle-aged. Many fans of the anime are complaining that this is too realistic and that if they don't exercise, their bodies will get "out of shape."
Comparison of Marco's images from two years ago
From his "heroic and dashing" heyday to the "middle-aged and greasy" Onigashima battle today, no matter from which angle you look at it, the biggest change in Xiao Ma Ge in the past two years is that he has "gotten fat."
The "Phoenix" is called the "Immortal Chicken", and Marco is based on the "Blue Phoenix". He has the same characteristics as the "Phoenix", with delicate features and a strong body. Even when he transforms into a "Phoenix", he still has a unique charm.
After the battle on Ghost Island, Marco became a "little belly" again. His body shape is a little different from two years ago, and his facial features have also changed. Perhaps Marco has not participated in any competitions in recent years, so his body is a little unhealthy. Perhaps because he is wearing a pair of sunglasses, he looks more "learned".
It's all "pot".
It is said that Marco's body shape is very out of shape, but in fact, it is the fault of the animation team. In his works, Oda's image of Marco is no different from Marco's image. The only difference is that he has an extra pair of eyes. There are often new illustrations in the anime, which is why Marco's body shape is out of shape.
But on the other hand, there are also many fans who see "reality" in the original pictures produced by the anime, and think that Marco's body shape is very similar to that of an actual middle-aged person.
In fact, Marco is now considered a "middle-aged" man, forty-five years old. In the game of "One Piece", he is still relatively young, but in reality, he is a real "middle-aged uncle", and he has not experienced two wars, so, from another perspective, his work is also in line with the style of comics.
Although her body shape has changed a bit, her strength has not diminished at all.
Although people say that Marco's body has changed from an "immortal bird" to an "immortal chicken", Marco's strength has not diminished at all.
Before the war started, Marco had already bargained with the Four Emperors. Even if the negotiation failed, he could survive the siege of the Four Emperors and Perospero. Marco was fighting one against two.
In the Beasts Pirates, the strength of King and Queen is only slightly inferior to Captain Kaido, but Marco subdued them without any effort, which is absolutely rare among pirates.
Overall, Marco is still at the same level as during the Battle of Marineford. He escaped from the Four Emperors and defeated the Emperor and the Vice-Emperor. He is still a top master with super comprehensive combat power.
When Whitebeard was still in his prime, Marco was a trainee crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates, just like Red-Haired Shanks. However, no one expected that many years later, Marco would become the backbone of Whitebeard's pirate group.
So why did Marco, a trainee crew member, become the captain of the first squadron many years later? After all, there were characters like the Ice Witch on Whitebeard's ship back then, so why was Marco the one taking the lead?
1. The scale was far less powerful than it is today
Although Whitebeard was in his prime at that time, his pirate group was still far from the size it is today.
We can understand this from the time when Kozuki Oden joined the Whitebeard Pirates. There were still many members of the Whitebeard Pirates who had not yet joined the Pirates, so naturally there were not so many squadrons at that time, and naturally Whitebeard was the only captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
However, with the boarding of Kozuki Oden, the number of people on board gradually increased. As the number of people increased, the pirate group naturally had to expand. At that time, Kozuki Oden was the most powerful member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
So Kozuki Oden became the captain of the 2nd Division. After all, Kozuki Oden did not board the ship alone. He also brought Cat Viper and Duke Inuarashi. Izo was also a samurai from Wano Country. After following Kozuki Oden out, he later became the captain of the 16th Division.
2. Marco's best offspring
Looking at the younger generation, Marco can be considered the most outstanding figure of his time. He has been following Whitebeard since his apprentice days and is considered the youngest among Whitebeard, but has the most experience.
