As the latest episode of One Piece, namely One Piece 1087, celebrates its release, fans are passionately debating who is more powerful between Marco and Rayleigh. Eiichiro Oda’s latest clue has confirmed that Rayleigh is far stronger than Marco in One Piece 1087. But the question is, how can a rare Mythical Zoan user like Marco be weaker than Rayleigh, who doesn’t have a devil fruit? Let’s take a look at the One Piece 1087 review below to find out the answer.
In the flashback of the battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and Gol D Roger on an island that lasted for three days and nights, an interesting clue emerged about the strength of Marco and Rayleigh in One Piece 1087. At that time, Marco looked powerless, even played in front of Rayleigh. There are several reasons why Marco could be considered much weaker than Luffy’s uncle at that time.
First, Marco was approximately 19 years old at that time, while Rayleigh was 52 years old and at the prime of his life. So, it is entirely reasonable that Rayleigh could easily restrain Marco’s hybrid-mode kick only with his index finger. But with the same condition, can Marco match Rayleigh? First of all, Marco has an advantage in a long-term fight because the blue flame he gets from his Phoenix power can accelerate regeneration. However, it should be noted that Rayleigh is the master of three types of Haki. He also has ambitions and the nickname of “The Dark King.” That nickname was given to him because of his terrifying strength as the vice-captain of the Pirate King. Furthermore, so far, Haki has always been more superior to devil fruits’ power. Unless devil fruit users also have great Haki abilities, Marco may not be able to match Rayleigh.
These are several existing proofs in One Piece 1087 why Rayleigh is far stronger than Marco. It is certainly interesting to see Rayleigh’s full potential in One Piece 1087. Keep watching, and who knows what else we will learn about the strength of characters in this famous manga and anime series.
