Marco wasn't Human. He was something different. Something you'd find in a fairy tale. Something that wasn't supposed to be real, only in legends and myths. He has to fit in with the humans. He has to study and learn how humans work. He has to explore the world to know what it's like and how things work in nature. He had so much to learn.
Only one person knows about what he is and that's Edward Newgate, his captain, and his father. He hopes he can keep it that way. He doesn't need anyone to know what he really is. He'd be worth a lot if people found out what he was.
Since he wants to fit in he has to come up with a reason why he has powers. When he learned about Devil Fruits and their powers, he came up with the excuse that he ate a devil fruit, the Tori Tori no Mi: model Phoenix. Though as he learned more about these devil fruits he had to pretend that he couldn't swim and seastone affected him when it was created not long after the fruits were made.
He is a Phoenix. A creature no one needs to know is actually real.
But when a certain freckled beauty showed up claiming to take his father's head, it was hard to keep his animalistic side of him in check.
