So Marco actually is my favorite character in One Piece. Ever since I saw him at Marineford he really stuck out to me and the Whitebeard pirates as a whole arey favorite pirate group. What I think stands out to me about Marco is how in control and real he always feels. He always maintains a calm presence throughout any situation. He's also super humble being pretty much the only Yonko lead commander to have quick respect for the new generation. The way he allowed Zoro and Sanji to take the scene and letting chopper take the lead on the virus. He's fully accepted this isn't his time anymore but he'll help form a better Era.

Whitebeard didnt avenge Oden for the same reason he asked Ace not to avenge Thatch: because surely members of the crew would also die. Whitebeard cared more about the living than about a memory of the dead

@@Tekking101 it also wasn’t a sure thing that he would win he only found out about it well after oden was dead and he was probably getting weaker he wasn’t at his marine ford barely holding his sick body together level but he was probably 60 something when he found out that kaido killed oden

29:58 Izo was on the Whitebeard crew for all those years, yes, but he was never in Wano after Orochi and Kaido took over. He left with Oden, and never came back, so he would've known nothing about them going to Onigashima on the Fire Festival

[@bryebaker3343]

Not only that but it is said that kaido built onigashima so at the time of the whitebeard crew talking about attacking wano with ace only ace would have ever seen or heard of onigashima because kaido built it after izo left and it is also stated that kaido and Orochi started the fire festival to help keep the people in line and to have their own party so izo would have never heard of it, I think the fire festival was even based on oden burning in oil and them burning kozuki castle but I could be mixing that one up.

[@josephreagan9545]

Marco's fruit is my favorite in the series. You can fly, you have claws, you can heal others, and you are close to being immortal yourself. Oh, and you have a built-in night light from your flames. If Franky ate the phoenix fruit, would it repair the broken parts of his cyborg body or just his human body? If Marco can heal himself from most lethal injuries, then couldn't he also eat multiple DFs in theory? Even if he explodes, he will heal right up. Also, why didn't BB take Marco's fruit as well? BB takes more damage than normal, so being able to instantly heal from that damage would negate that weakness.

I think it would be an issue of doing so secretly, I feel that Kaido would notice it f white beard suddenly started making moves in his direction. He probably would have called off the fire festival until he knew for certain that white beard wouldn't attack.

[@000CherryBlossom000]

And Izo mostly new the customs from before Kaido showed up at Wano. Maybe back then the festival was held at the capital, because why would a shogun take it away from the people to an uninhabited island (unless you were Orochi)

[@sujanaryal833]

Whitebeard pirates were able to make a surprise entrance on marineford even when they knew he will be coming so it could have been possible especially since they had Izo.

I'm more interested in knowing how whitebeard was on the rocks crew. I think he was already a father figure and I think he was one to Kaidou. About the Fire Festival was invented by the beast pirates and orochi to celebrate their win against oden, so Izo would have no idea about it.

[@ragnarmeh8156]

the fire festival was already a thing for wano civilians. after oden's death, orochi used it as a commemoration of the eradication of the "evil" kozuki family, but it was a festival held for years prior to that

[@whiskeyhound]

@@ragnarmeh8156 I don't see any reason Izo would assume that Orochi continued the tradition after he started enslaving people and destroying the country or that Kaido's crew would also have a party on the same day.

[@in3x_pty909]

Maybe 🤔 kaido was going to marinefort cuz he knew white beard was going to die and wanted to pay his respects to whitebeard as his father/big brother like yeah he was definitely gonna wreck havoc and kill pirates and marines but I feel like he maybe would’ve been more in white beards pirates after all kaido does have respect and some type of love for the people that had defeated him or maybe he just antes to go to destroy the marines then kill whitebeard himself cuz in his mind he was probably like if someone is going to defeat whitebeard is going to be me

[@cognitivedissonance9938]

I think an interesting potential reason Whitebeard did not go to Wano might be that he once saw him as a brother. They where on the same crew for som time. I was kinda hoping we would se something like that in Kaidos flashback.

[@KillerMoth]

That could be part of it, I thought it could be because of white beards sickness (idk if he was sick at the time of the flashback so that’s more of a guess) or B that Kaido wouldn’t pull any punches off the bat. Liek kaido would pull out all his stops instantly because white beard is a lot different caliber of foe then Luffy.

[@orbboom6119]

If they went some of the crew wouldve for sure died or even WB wouldve died

[@ivanbluecool]

Blue flames always make a character stand out to me like Dabi azula and Marco. It's beautiful and unique. Marco is a cool Character that went through a lot being semi retired but a big help for the wano war but I feel him and the whitebeard pirates will be taken down a lot more with how weavil is killing them which could connect back to the rocks connections

[@davidortiz3094]

Marco is going to be a Commander of the Strawhat Grand Fleet. He is very fond of the Strawhats & has huge respect for Luffy. Also they both share common enemies. Blackbeard & Akainu.

[@Pandemia616]

Two common enemies for the price of one 😂

[@revenantronin8377]

he won't be a commander, more like an ally with HUGE connections like Reighley.

[@davidortiz3094]

​@@revenantronin8377 I can see him joining Luffy. The reason why he didn't join Shanks makes total sense. They were rivals & enemies since Roger days. Still were enemies when the Red Haired Pirates became a Yonko crew. Difference is that's not the case with the Strawhats. Luffy carries Ace will & able to turn people around him into allies. Marco has constantly complimented the Strawhats throughout Wano war. When he heard Luffy was going to War with Kaido he immediately came. Yes. I see Marco joining the Grand Fleet & leading remnants of Whitebeard. Of course this will all take place during the final war.

[@zigazdovc6175]

An Ally, but I doubt he will join the Grand Fleet. He still needs to continue Whitebeards legacy.

[@revenantronin8377]

@@davidortiz3094 he's either an ally or a neutral power like Mihawk, Crocus or Reighley. He won't become a commander to Luffy, let's be real. Marco was a Yonko candidate a few years ago and even currently he's respected by Big Mom, Shanks, King and Queen (among others). His power rivals Luffy's in more ways than you think, which is why I'm saying he could become an allied force but not a commander under Luffy. Saying he'd become a commander for sentimental reasons is like saying, Zoro would become Kid's commander if Luffy were killed. Zoro would not join Kid because if Zoro were to will it, he could command Luffy's crew and fleet. Just because the strawhats disband doesn't mean he'll be willing to work under Kid who he's already in the same league with i.e. Supernova, and in Marco's case Yonko candidate. Basically, Marco disbanded the WB pirates because they couldn't carry on WB's legacy into the new era and any further losses would be an insult to WB's record. He had already retired and was guarding WB's hometown as his final act of loyalty and gratitude. He ONLY came to Wano because Neko requested his assistance for Oden's sake, to redeem himself with a second chance to save the legacy of one of his heroes. He couldn't save WB's territories but at least he could aid in saving Oden's territory. And his speech about passing on the torch to Zoro and Sanji is the culmination of his whole character arc. And that's why he was so carefree after finally coming to terms with the reality of belonging to a bygone era, dude was sleeping and daydreaming in the middle of a war and smiling all the time. He could die and wouldn't regret a thing. Oda is telling us that he's finally done, Marco will remain retired after this and he'll spend his time helping out people in need. However, he still has a connection to Teech and he knows how his body works etc. If he's called upon once again by Luffy, he will definitely rise to the occasion as an ally for Ace's sake and for redeeming their loss to Teech during the payback war. A shared goal kind of alliance, like Law has with Luffy, not a subordinate type alliance like the strawhat Fleet or core commanders (just the strawhats basically) He won't actively join Luffy, and won't swear allegiance to him like Chinjao and the rest did in Dressrosa. He's an outsider, the samurai may join Luffy as a show of gratitude (like the Tontatas, Sun pirates(fishmen) and minks did) but Marco owes Luffy nothing, in fact it's the other way around. So far he has saved Luffy, Nami, Ussop, Zoro, and Sanji (I think he even helped out Brooke and Robin). Much like Crocus, Kuma and Reighley, he's acting as a sort of guide that ensures the Strawhats achieve greatness. That's his purpose, his fighting ability is just a segway into that. Not every character thats fond of the strawhats or Luffy needs to join them (we've had and still have a lot of those I could provide a list but I think you know this fact already).

[@alma3884052]

I think the theme of inherited will is basically the most important one in One Piece, and Whitebeard lived by it. So maybe he felt that it's not for his generation to inherit Oden's will

[@cassie6146]

Tekking: *starts the video chanting cultishly about pineapples.* Yeah, that's pretty on brand.

[@ThorfinnSkuII]

Just makes you wonder what really happened at the end of the "Pay-Back War". Like if any of the WB pirates survived, (like with Marco), how did any of them break away from the BB pirates. Was there some sort of deal or something offered to let some WB members live? 🤔🤔

[@thegurkha3164]

TEACH SPARE THEM COZ OF FAMILY 😂😂 100%

[@Maigodseki]

Some might have joined him 😒

[@zigazdovc6175]

Well you need to keep in mind that Blackbeard is more of a Chaotic character, then being straight up Evil. He most likely spared them because they were in fact his Family for a long time. Otherwise there is no way he would let Fruits like the Phoenix and Diamond to escape Him OR the War was a lot closer that it was reported, maybe the BB Pirates were too injured and had to let them escape.

[@Champsr0ck2247]

The WB likely retreated after suffering too many casualties. whether that came at the cost of their crewmates (Jozu, Vista, Whitey Bey, etc.) dying to buy time we don't know yet. Marco would have too much pride to take any deal BB had to spare his life. He would die as a WB pirate than to submit to BB. It is interesting to note that none of the Titanic Captains have a DF that belonged to the WB crew. maybe they didn't get to steal any of their fruits.

[@czar17_28]

It’s clearly that Marco’s entire purpose was to make sure nobody die. Quite apropros considering he’s a doctor, and he performed his duties well.

I agree considering how much he is capable of

[@chedysouilhi7408]

Sorry i disagree , we only saw him in mere sequecnes instead of full fights , contrary to what people think he is not admiral level as attacking them only once each(marineford ) isn't enough to prove it (same with big mom) , when it comes to king and katakuri they are equally capable ; king has monstrous durability(+ancient zoan and fire buff) and katakuri has special paramecia + future sight , besides marco' s regernation is not indefinite it will wear down when his stamina diminishes with time so the battle will be tricky and whoever wins it will be extreme-diff

[@luvzangetsu]

Man, I wish we got to see more of Marco, love his character and his devil fruit has always been one of my favorites.

[@johnnykiehn1872]

Blackbeard wouldn’t be like “yeah I get it” when Marco finishes him off. We saw how he shamelessly begged for his life to Whitebeard at Marineford so he ni doubt would do the same to Marco which would be an even more satisfying end.

[@nightmarearchive4749]

I swear, every time i think your intro cant get any weirder, you prove me wrong. its great, honestly.

[@foxgamez4614]

I like to think that Marco became a doctor to try to help Whitebeard in more ways. Like maybe the Pheonix fruit was only doing so much so he studied to possibly become one of the greatest doctor in his time. He wasn't considered "A Doctor of the Whitebeard crew" but "THE Doctor of the Whitebeard Crew"

Great video Tekking

Kaido and Orochi started the fire festival I thought, so I don't think Izo would know. And I think the fact the whitebeard wouldn't act because a slow drawn out death is better than a quick messy death, is supposed to allude to the difference between Luffy and most everyone else, that a death is a death doesn't matter if it's now or 20 years from now.

[@djlore2699]

Yeah, I was about to type about how Kaido and Orochi probably started the fire festival too.

I genuinely hope Marco is there at the end with Teach to finish the job and finally get their revenge. Maybe a few other whitebeard pirates.

[@Fushio_Didi]

Marco is my fourth favorite character and I've loved him since he was introduced probably in the series. Just how he tells Shanks off, made me laugh so hard and that's when I decided he was awesome. I didn't even know about his DF at that point, but that moment, it was priceless (especially since Shanks is my second favorite character). The more we see of him, the more I like him. In Marineford, I loved how cheeky and laid-back he seemed to be, in the middle of a WAR. And I love his phoenix form. I love that it isn't a red and orange phoenix, but a blue and yellow one. It's different, but so beautiful. His bratty and cheeky side definitely is something I love about him and how he seems to feel alive in the middle of a war. Not only at Marineford, but also at Onigashima. Makes you wonder how dangerous he can truly be, when being deadly serious. Anyway, I just want to thank you for dedicating a video to the pineapple birb. It makes me so happy. Now I'll be waiting for an Izo video, because that gorgeous male needs one too. He is as badass as Marco and actually did more in the raid than Marco has. Just saying.

[@laurensdejong7543]

I think the Whitebeard crew couldn't attack Kaido during the Fire Festival is because they would need to infiltrate Wano with too many people, Orochi and Kaido would certainly have caught wind of it before the attack happened. The reason the raid on Onigashima worked was because there were very few people not from Wano who participated in it, and a freak combination of factors, most importantly Kinemon's genius about the signal.

[@envytee9659]

Here's the thing about Whitebeard attacking during the Fire Festival... Whitebeard is a Yonko with a Yonko Fleet. For one, Kaido would certainly get news of Whitebeard suddenly approaching Wano. Sure, Kaido doesn't have a crazy extensive info network like the World Government or anything, but he would most certainly have some tabs on the other Yonko, if nothing else. Even if Kaido didn't get this info though, Whitebeard would still have to get his entire fleet onto Wano, which as we've learned it's actually a bit difficult to get a ship up to Wano via the waterfalls... much less an entire fleet of them. I know Kaido and his crew can very much be the definition of the word "klutz", but I find it very hard to believe he would not have any forewarning about an entire Whitebeard fleet slowly making it's way up the waterfall to Wano.

[@Koushakur]

No guarantee of allies, have to fight orochi on top of Kaido, don't necessarily know about the fire festival being held on Onigashima, as this was a custom begun after Orochi and Kaido took power, Izo wouldn't know this info. III. No guarantee the WG or an third Yonkou might not make a move.

Marco is a Phoenix and that is why he is my favorite among Whitebeard Pirates

[@mangamandrew]

I think we need to remember that not every single person attended the fire festival each year. It just so happens to be that the year that they attacked is the same year kyoshiro was in change. If whitebeard arrived and Orochimaru or Kaido have an order, everyone on main land Wano could die.

[@notariu4582]

even if Whitebeared wanted to, to schedule a war to last one day would be near impossible especially since the only reason it worked with the strawhats is how small of a group they were and kanjuro not giving complete information right from the very beginning, kinda would be hard to push 10-20k in with a large ship like the moby dick undectected lol

truly an amazing into from tekking

[@infinitygaming1253]

Has anyone noticed that Dragon has Xebec eyes and Ace has Garps eyes

[@piepschun]

I'm 32 years old and it just realized the last name of Ash from Pokemon is Ketchum as in "caught them", after Tekking said: Luffy is falling, someone needs to "caught him". I thought it sounds so familiar and I had a brain fart after so many years. I from the Netherlands and he has the same name in Dutch so I never saw the connection

[@tillyvanilly7015]

Tekking takes the smallest sips I have ever witnessed someone sipping.

[@easymoney9805]

he is my favorite character because when i first saw the mythical zoan it was the coolest thing as a kid

[@just_Ruby]

Marco is my favorite Character and just seeing all his gone through and all the trauma and everything just makes me relate to him even more feeling powerless feeling like you can’t do anything it’s kind of product that he has the phoenix fruit the only one that would symbolically be able to rise from the ashes and he is still kicking

[@sean-patrickmalvar9111]

Izo wouldn't have known that the fire festival would be held on a separate island for kaido and the beast crew. He left with Oden when Oden first left before wano was taken over.

[@dylantaylor5872]

In my opinion I recon it would be really cool if Marco at the end of the story is luffys fleet admiral and has control over the entire alliance bc he has experience commanding a large unit and like you said could be the support character that comes in last minute a few times to help clear a path for luffy to get to black beard following through on the last order that white beard gave his crew clear a path for straw hat luffy

[@dylantaylor5872]

@Rahul Sharma and Marco could be one of them ussop could be the one in the crew that the fleet talk to

Hey tekking! There is this panel in udon prison where luffy says he can't use haki. During this panel he still has seastone handcuffs on. Do you think seastone might not only restrict DF but also haki in DF users. Whitebeard in MF tries use some attack but fails because of his condition. Could it have been Conquerors Haki ? Edit: I forgot to add this because I'm a dumbass but Maybe WB was poisoned with seastone in some way and that's whats killing him and his ability to use CoC Would love to see a video on something like this if you see this comment!

[@zarostheemptylord5893]

My understanding of it is that the seastone weakens df users usually completely..its like on top of blocking the fruit powers it renders them exhausted...so it would make sense that they wouldn't be able to use their haki in an exhausted state....I know the prisons sea prism was diluted so they could still be used to do manual labor but probably still rendered them to exhausted to call upon enough haki to free themselves..its like when fluffy gets exhausted and needs time to recharge his haki except hes being forcefully kept in a state of exhaustion by the sea prism..I know he didnt look like he was flat out exhausted but all of that running around was sheer determination....the other prisoners even questioned how he and kid could be running like that while wearing the diluted sea prism...they probably should have had a less diluted cuff made for potential troublemakers but I seriously doubt they ever encountered such will power before..which is great because if they had then fluffy would have had a much harder ho at escaping

[@jamanijones2549]

We know for a fact that Whitebeard was trying to use conquerors haki but failed because of his condition, but Whitebeard didn't have any sea prism stone on, he was just dying from sickness, but I'm failing to understand how the first paragraph and second relate to each other

[@curiosity9678]

@@jamanijones2549 sorry forgot to write that bit cuz I'm a dumbass. It's there in the original comment now. The idea is basically he was poisoned with seastone somehow and that's whats killing him and his ability to use CoC

my man eat a pineapple like a goddamn apple

[@w.8372]

Marco is definitely there at Wano to pass on the torch. I expect Marco to have some info about the 4th road ponyglyph since it's possible that Whitebeard claimed the one that was located at Fishman Island. This is supported by the fact that the title of the Zou chapter was "Inside the whale" which we all know was Whitebeard ships figurehead. For the reason why Whitebeard did not avenge Oden. I think it's safe to say that there were a lot of islands under Whitebeard's protection he could not let down.

[@coinfrog2566]

Watching a crazed man with a pet brick worshipping a pineapple is far more therapeutic than I'd imagined it would be

[@handsmcgee8331]

I think not having Marco & Kaido interact someway about WB, Oden, Ace, Shanks and everything else from the past was a missed opportunity from Oda imo. Unless it happens in the next few chapters but I think that ship has sailed unfortunately, his interaction with Luffy could be interesting too.

[@zigazdovc6175]

There were a lot of missed opportunity in Wano. Latest chapter with the anticlimactic Luffy Punch Win and lackluster Kaido backstory confirms it.

[@handsmcgee8331]

@@zigazdovc6175 It’s true. Kaido better get up at least if not we riot

[@NintendoSegaGuys]

Shanks gave Whitebeard sake from his home town in the west blue so he joined Roger when he was old enough to remember where he came from.

[@vagabond.studio]

How could Izo have known about the 20 year prophecy, Kaido, orochi and the onigashima fire festival banquet when he left wano with Oden and never went back, not to mention he was a kid when he left

[@twilightzay]

Thinking the same thing, still wondering when Oden found out about strong pirates coming to Wano, was that at laughtale or Madam Shirley or whatever the future telling mermaid was named
