It's rather futile to disagree with facts. Rear admiral Kadar also tried to capture Fisher Tiger and the Sun Pirates, he got obliterated like it was nothing. By default there exists a large difference in strength between marines, especially among the ones that are below VA level. Strawberry was also at one point a regular foot soldier, just like Garp, Sengoku, Aokiji, Akainu etc. So that Strawberry eventually became VA means absolutely nothing.
At Sabody Arc it was said if someone hits a celestial dragon Admirals wil come. Fisher tiger destroyed Mariejois but no admiral was sent. Rear admirals were sent both the times. We don't knw if Kadar is alive or not after that incident so I will not argue about that but Strawberry definately got promotion after killing Fisher Tiger.
The facts speak for itself: Drake couldn't even beat a Pacifista pre-time skip and could only act like a salt pillar while Kizaru one-shotted him.
None of the supernovas can beat Admiral lvl guys. How could he beat Borsalino? I m sure after this incident he understand the difference in power i.e why he wants to meet Kaido pre TS
Yes a bounty reflects the threat someone poses. The fact that the threat a former rear admiral with a certain amount of knowledge about classified stuff like the Pacifista and who became a pirate only poses a 222m threat, says enough. Following your own argument that means his combat abilities would even be rated lower than that as you need to take into account that a part of his bounty is based on the fact that he was a former marine with inside knowledge. And they really aren't going to increase someone's bounty with 4-500m just because he joined the crew of a Yonkou.
I already told u above if he joined Kaido that means his threat lvl increased because he is now a Yonko's men. Another thing I wrote above was "if he became 2nd calamity" then his bounty lvl would increase to 600-700m & it's not baseless. If his bounty is 400-450m as u are expecting then why oda didnot showed it when he was reading Dofflamingo's news? Why is oda hiding his bounty? Oda should hav showed his Post TS bounty if he was not a big shot in Kaido's crew.
And why would Kaidou even order such a thing? Now you're just randomly assuming things that are extremely convenient for yourself, but have no basis whatsoever. There's no reason for Kaidou to order such a thing nor are he and Jack the types to be diligently training people. If anything they appear to be the complete opposite considering they have been stuffing their crew full of Devil fruits.
Common bro it's not hard to impress somebody in OP. U remember Zoro & Mihawk interaction pre TS. Zoro asked Mihawk to train him & Mihawk laughed & said ok. Something like that could happen here also.
Drake went to Kaido, said him he wants to become strong,pls train me. Kaido thought he has ancient Zoan who knows a lot about Marines. Kaido ordered Jack train Drake & make him a man strong enough to fight High Shichibukai lvl guys. After some time he became one of the strongest guys in Kaido's army,he got promotion & became Calamity.It's not hard.
1) Your argument about Weeble doesn't make sense. Apparently Marco not being there to hold the hand of the WB allies means he has abandoned them and joined Kaidou....so with other words Weeble is hunting pirates that have no connection anymore with Marco to find Marco while Marco became one of the three top fighters of Kaidou's crew, which is something that definitely would be commonly known by people. If Marco really did join Kaidou's crew, Weeble would be hunting down pirates that serve Kaidou and that would mean he is picking a fight with Kaidou and Weeble's mother is really not stupid enough to do that. In reality you just stated an argument that works better against the hypothesis that Marco is one of Kaidou's men than the opposite.
Nope u got it all wrong.
Weeble & his mother thought WB allies knew where WB had kept his treasure. That's why they were beating them. Marco's name came recently. I don't think his mum at presently knew Marco is working wit Kaido. SH's had no idea when they saw Isshou gambling at Dressrosa. They had no idea Isshou was admiral.
2) Marco is trying to find a weakness of Kaidou....what? This is not even a theory anymore, you are making unrealistic baseless stories just so that it suits you. Nothing and absolutely nothing you just said made any kind of sense. They attacked Marineford fully prepared to die.
Wrong they didnot went to MF to die there. They went there to bring Ace back. WB last words were protect Ace family & re-unite back at NW. That's why none of the commanders died at MF.
WB and Kaidou by default weren't on good terms with each other and Shanks stopped the war on his own accord, nobody asked him. So you are telling me that a pirate the caliber of Marco became a backstabbing spy because Kaidou temporarily was holding up Shanks, who Marco didn't even know was coming, instead of going after either BB or the Marines who are responsible for the dead of Ace and WB?
I m sure WB pirates fought BB, BM, Kaido after the war because these guys have taken there territory. Tell me why will Marco will not hold grudge against Kaido? Kaido was the reason Shanks came late & it was known by everybody that Shanks & Kaido fought before war.
3) Weeble is hunting the pirates that were allied with WB, not the WB pirates themselves. There's a difference there, the latter group are the ones he is searching, the former the ones he is using to find the latter. It's the same principle as how Bartolomeo's crew is allied with Luffy. He accepts Luffy as his parent, but he is still an individual captain with his own crew. We might or not might see Marco soon, he might or might not play an important role, but that is really not an argument that indiactes he joined Kaidou's crew as that can happen in countless of ways. The two have no connection with each other whatsoever. Following your logic he could have joined Big Mum or Shank's crew among many other possibilities. Also it was stated directly after the war that Marco was leading the remnants of the WB pirates.Again if Marco became one of the Three Calamities, Weeble wouldn't be doing what he was doing.
@Bold
As I wrote above Marco was not there when Weeble is beating WB allies, this proves he left WB's gang.
Kaidou is a savage, cruel beast and so is his crew. WB and Kaidou didn't seem to like each other very much and Marco is a decent guy who cared about his captain, friends and crew. A phoenix is also an age old symbol of rebirth. With other words Marco is the complete opposite of a calamity and one of the least likely persons who would associate himself with Kaidou. The arguments you brought forth yourself are more suitable to support that than your own statements.
Not really.
-Marco knows he can't beat top tier guys. After the war BB and WB crew must have fought endless battles where they lost there territories.
-He is holding grudge against BB, Admirals & Kaido. Why will he join BM? He has no business with her.
-Izo(16th division commander) looks like a wano guy. Wiki says after the end of war he had a sheathed sword. He wears kimono & have similar hairstyle like momo when he was a kid.
You must be registered for see links
If he is wano guy then that means more WB commanders are hiding in wano.
-I m sure Oda is not going to create a new arc to show Weeble vs WB pirates. He will show this in a arc where lots of fighting is going to happen. And Wano/Kaido war arc will be a big one wit lots of fighting going to took place.
I don't understand why everybody is against this idea. Marco is a pirate. His captain died, they lost WB's territory, he has no place to go, he left WB pirates & moved on. Lots of pirates have done that. Shanks, Buggy, Arlong, Jimbei etc they moved on wit there lives. Shanks is not living wit Rayleigh. He became a Yonko after his captains death. Buggy & Jimbei became Shichibukai. Later Jimbei started working wit BM. Arlong left Jimbei & went to East blue. So it's common thing in OP.
