after some thought.. marco may have referred to teach's body characteristics that were granted to him by the yami yami no mi.. so maybe he had a regular body.. but then when he became darkness something changed... so it could be a power specific to his fruit as well.. and this could be another reason why teach sought the fruit for so long.
