Key highlights of the article
Marco and King as two comparable charactersUnderstanding Marco's strength and featsUnderstanding King's strength and featsWriter's final thoughtsMarco and King are two of the strongest Yonko commanders in One Piece
They have the same status as the second in command of a Yonko
Spoilers ahead
Together with Benn Beckman and Katakuri, Marco and King are the right-hand men of the original Four Emperors (Image via Eiichiro Oda/Shueisha, One Piece) Both Marco and King served as second in command of a Yonko who had the world's strongest title. Marco was the number two of Whitebeard, the World's Strongest Man, while King filled the same position under Kaido, the World's Strongest Creature.

While Marco operated as Whitebeard's right-hand man, King was Kaido's right-hand man. One Piece author Eiichiro Oda recently confirmed that they were the second strongest individual in their crew right after their captain.

This status proves that Marco and King were remarkably above the average Commanders of their respective crews, like Jozu from Whitebeard Pirates, and Queen from Beasts Pirates. Khaluffy@KhaluffyOne of the coldest color spreads we've seen from Oda. The right-hand men in One Piece are simply badass.

The right-hand men in One Piece are simply badass.#ONEPIECE https://t.co/V6qGO2ooBK Some right-hand men are very close to their captain's strength. Such is the connection between Benn Beckman and Shanks, Rayleigh and Roger, and Zoro with Luffy. Marco and King, however, are depicted quite differently.

In their relationship with Whitebeard and Kaido, respectively, Marco and King act like a son towards his father or an underling in relation to his boss.
They are depicted as peers and as polar opposites at the same time
Marco and King possess very specular powers, emphasizing their similarity (Image via Eiichiro Oda/Shueisha, One Piece) Marco and King's fighting styles appear to be really similar.

It might be said that they have the same powers, just reversed with polar opposites. Both ate Zoan Devil Fruits, which allow them to transform into flying beasts - a peaceful phoenix and an aggressive pteranodon, respectively.

While Marco possesses blue healing flames, King has highly destructive red flames. The similarity and, likewise, the contrast between their main powers really catches the eye. The connection goes further with both of them having a very similar gimmick of being seemingly invulnerable, a skill that very few other One Piece characters possess.

On two separate occasions during the One Piece series, they both repelled the massive ship of the Big Mom Pirates with a mere kick that pushed it back completely. This feat is also a testament to their remarkable physical strength.

However, on this issue, King was depicted as being more capable than Marco. While the latter needed a named move to repel the ship when Big Mom wasn't on it, the former was able to repel the ship with both Linlin and her subordinates on board to possibly defend it.

He also achieved that feat with a simple nameless hit. This could hint at King's raw physical strength being greater than Marco's.

Unsurprisingly, Oda ended up having these two characters fighting purposely inconclusive fights in ambiguous settings. Marco fought King backed up by Queen and was able to fend them off despite the numerical disadvantage.

After Newgate's death and the crew's tragic defeat in the Paramount War in Marineford, Marco assumed the leadership of the Whitebeard Pirates. Still, the crew ultimately disbanded after losing a fierce battle against the Blackbeard Pirates. Having been a member of the Whitebeard Pirates for more than 30 years, Marco is highly experienced.

His might is respected by nearly everyone in the One Piece world, making him one of the most influential individuals in the series. Marco's main source of power is the Bird Bird Fruit Model: Phoenix, a Mythological Zoan which allows him to transform into a phoenix, increasing his mobility and physical strength and gifting him exceptional healing powers.

King s abilities and feats

He assigned him the name "King" in place of his real name, Alber. Thanks to his Lunarian powers, King can endure devastating strikes without receiving any kind of damage, or trade some of his durability to increase his speed at the utmost level. King can create and manipulate fire to perform destructive attacks at every range, an ability which granted him the moniker of "Wildfire".

He ate an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit, the Dragon-Dragon Model: Pteranodon, which allows him to fly at extremely high speed and unleash attacks with enough power to destroy large pieces of Onigashima. His pteranodon wings are really durable, to the point that they can withstand attacks strong enough to cut Kaido's dragon scales. King easily repelled the ship with Big Mom and her crew aboard.

Final thoughts on this match-up
Marco and King fighting one vs one during One Piece's Wano Arc (Image via Toei Animation, One Piece) With their status as Emperors' right-hand men, there's little doubt that both Marco and King are stronger than most pirates in the One Piece world. However, even they have their limits. Marco was brutally defeated by Blackbeard, whom he attempted to fight to take revenge for Whitebeard and Ace's deaths.

King ended up completely outclassed after Zoro awakened the next stage of his abilities. When the author had Marco and King fight one against the other during the Wano Arc, he decided to have the outcome of the battle ambiguous and inconclusive.

Many One Piece fans interpreted this choice as a hint of the fact that Marco and King are more or less equally as strong. This understanding appears to be the most logical, given the fact that they are conceived as counterparts of each other.

Then again, Marco could use his regeneration to go through King's attacks and hit him, but he lacks the power to overcome his opponent's Lunarian resiliency.

Both own some kind of invulnerability, making the battle between them very prolonged and draining. Eventually, King would conjure his massive dragon of Lunarian fire to destroy Marco, who would use his phoenix regenerative powers to pass through it and strike King with a Phoenix Brand close-range attack, ultimately taking him down. However, that feat would require Marco to use up all his energy, causing him to pass out.
