Marco the Phoenix “1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates” Statue

This Marco the Phoenix Statue is expertly crafted and meticulously sculpted to look like Marco (Ex Devils) from their respective anime in his popular pose. Marco the Phoenix is the former 1st division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Once starting out as an apprentice on the crew, he had come to be Whitebeard’s closest confidant and right-hand man. After his captain’s death, Marco assumed leadership of the Whitebeard Pirates until the crew’s disbandment following the Payback War. Since said war during the 2-year timeskip, Marco works as a doctor at Whitebeard’s home village, Sphinx. Marco is a major ally to Luffy during the Marineford Arc, and later on, the Wano Country Arc. Marco ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a phoenix and a human-phoenix hybrid at will. He has a very well-developed mastery over his transformation, allowing him to alter select parts of his body as he needs to. This power is the source of his nickname “Marco the Phoenix“. As a Zoan, Marco enjoys a great boost to his physical abilities, gaining strength enough to restrain 2 extremely powerful Ancient Zoan users at once.

Furthermore, as a bird-type Zoan, Marco gains wings that allow him to fly in both his hybrid form and full phoenix form, as well as taloned bird legs that he can use to perform powerful kicks or slash enemies with. Marco can freely create his “Blue Flames of Resurrection” from any part of his body, even without actually transforming, and they always cover him while transformed. These phoenix flames are stronger than normal fire and possess tremendous healing properties, while shrouded in the flames, Marco can rapidly self-regenerate from nigh any physical damage he receives, like a phoenix being reborn. It is noted, or at least implied, that no matter what injury he is dealt, he can recover by flame (even injures that he suffered while his powers are nullified). Such immense power of recovery allows Marco to ward off extremely potent attacks with little issue, like Kizaru‘s volley of light bullets or even Akainu‘s magma punch. Marco can also share his healing flames with others, allowing him to heal them as well, even multiple individuals at once. However, his flames are less effective on anyone other than himself. Marco “1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates” Statue measures: 9 inches / 23 cm x 10 inches / 25.5 cm x 11 inches / 28 cm.
