Thinking out aloud, again based on point 1 (WBP is on their own, surviving in the NW but not siding with any of the yonkos), thus point 4 = Marco becomes a shichibukai , hence being a dog of the WG, in order to protect the rest of the WBP. This move is similar to how Jinbe and Hancock accepted to be shichibukai to protect FI and Amazon respectively... Marco may not like it but times were tough and this move was the best that came their way during the TS. Hows this?
