**Notable Techniques**:

* **Haki:** There are normally two types of Haki regular people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busōshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is however a third type of Haki, Haōshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use. Marco is not one of these people.
	+ **Busōshoku Haki** (*Color of Armaments*): A form of Haki that allows the user to create an "invisible armor" around themselves. With that, they can protect himself from attacks, and if trained well, use it to deliver stronger attacks. Besides the increase of strength, it is the only form of attack that doesn't involve Kairouseki that can hit any Devil Fruit user, being able to hit the user's original body even if it's a Logia user. It can also be used in weapons.

* **Phoenix Transformation**: Marco ate a Devil Fruit referred to as a Mythical Zoan type, which is an immensely unique type of Zoan Devil Fruit said to be even rarer than Logia. His Devil Fruit enables him to transform into a phoenix. It is because of this ability that he is identified as "Marco the Phoenix".

* + **Phoenix Regeneration**: Using the power of his Devil Fruit, Marco is capable of regenerating from ordinarily lethal attacks like a phoenix being reborn.
	+ **Partial Transformation**: Marco has shown the ability to only partially turn into a phoenix; growing claws and wings while maintaining a human body.
