You were not technical in anything and as it is my post had made it abundantly clear that I only placed Marco as an Admiral equal in physical strength only. In your response to me you expressed as to why you differed in this claim. Yet, rather than address physical ability you mentioned power hence the talk of "Marco did not wound an Admiral." However, you failed to recognize that offensive ability goes beyond physical strength. There is DF aspect, Haki & how either of these factors compares to the opponent's defense. Marco was physically strong as an Admiral but his haki and/or DF ability could not make up for the difference in an Admiral physical defense, haki proficiency and DF protection. Which is why his favorable feats to date are of some physical power element. To save time in explaining all that I used Luffy and Zoro as prime examples whereby peers in strength are not automatically equals in ranking.
The difference between Marco vs Admiral & Luffy vs Aoikiji is resistance. Aoikiji made no active attempt to defend & the whole time mused as Luffy pulled his move off. Skypeia Luffy had the strength to ascend whilst having a golden ball dangling from his arm. Punching a defenseless Admiral and hurling them into the air isn't impossible. Knocking an Admiral and not wounding them in unimpressive but you are missing the undertone of the message. G4 Luffy isn't scaled to Admiral level strength. Yet, his victory over DD by and by is attributable to his vastly superior punching power = strength. Now fill in the gap, if G4 Luffy who is yet to match Admirals in serious confrontations could do as much why wouldn't Marco be able to achieve the same.
What I typed above undermines your idea that Marco lacks enough firepower than DD solely in regards to 1 on 1 confrontation which so happens to be the original discussion here. Whether either DD, Jack or Marco are better than the other. I said that Marco > Jack/DD solely based on the virtue of physical strength since it ties to his fighting style. Marco's feats aren't worth shit when compared to an Admiral level character but shit significantly on any person so far which so happens to include Jack and DD.
You still make no sense, Physical strength would be like when Jozu lifted that iceberg, Marco did nothing of the sort during the war. He kicked and tried clawing Admirals, that's attack power.
So you're saying because Marco managed to Kick some Admirals he has physical strength = to Admirals? This makes no damn sense, you're saying Marco has an Admirals strength when we know if you have Admiral strength, you can hurt another Admiral as shown from the battle between Aokiji and Akainu. If Marco did indeed have their strength he would have hurt them, but he couldn't hurt them even with Vistas help.
Marcos feats are in fact no different from Aokiji vs Luffy, Marco kicked Kizaru and in the next panel Kizaru is already on two feet as if nothing happened. Kizaru blocked but the fact of the matter is neither of them were capable of hurting the Admiral at all. Akainu in fact did not block and took both Marco and Vistas attacks both head on and said it tickled.
It doesn't matter what the community thinks of G4s strength and WTF? You can't just say, because G4 was able to do this much collateral damage Marco can too that makes no sense. G4 has shown much better physical strength, attack power, however you want to put it, than Marco. An injured Luffy bruised Fujitora an Admiral, with his most basic G3 attack, Marco never accomplished even this during the whole MF War, so how does Marco have Admiral physical strength but G4 doesn't? Neither of them have it But the point of my post is to prove that Marco Is not Admiral level or very close Either.
