Wow, you really want Burgess? Dude's portrayal is in the mud after DR. Ok that he'll get a DF, but still. Don't you think that "Corrupt King" Pizarro is better? Dude is also from North Blue.
Burgess fits the typical Sanji opponent personality wise. I guess Pizzaro does as well, but im tired of the NB plotline with Sanji.
Burgess doesnt look that bad at all. Base Sabo didnt look better than him. And Base Sabo is Dragon’s YC1.
- They started off the fight with Sabo thinking about him and targetting him
- They clashed, Base Sabo destroyed his armour
- They fought more, their fight shook the collesum, and Sabo complimented his attack
- Sabo opted to crack the floor, and steal the Mera Fruit
- Fire Fisted Burgess, and Burgess had zero damage
- Base Sabo kicked him in their second fight, Burgess bled but no lasting damage
- Sabo claims he has his hands full with Burgess, and he should be around Low Top Tier lvl at this point
- He lands an attack that combines his DF and his fighting style, Burgess takes damage but we see him fighting Sabo again later in the same chap
- Most of the fight is off-panelled, but it ends after Luffy vs Doffy
- Sabo beats him with off-panelled attacks, could be high tier shit or not. Who knows
- Sabo tries to crush his head like Bastile, but then flops
- Sabo resorts to using his Mera Fruit to finish him off
What we can see here is clearly Base Sabo constantly flopping against Burgess. He cant even crack the head of a near dead Burgess. Take into consideration Burgess’s other potrayal
- Still Captain of the First Ship, whilst Shiryu overtook everyone else
- Blackbeard trusting him with Ace’s Fruit
- Destroying his entire block in moments
- The collesum trembling to all his attacks, and nearly being destroyed
- Koala pissing her pants to his physical stats
- Luffy remembering him, and this is the same dude who forgot Marco.
I think for a person who doesnt even have a DF at all, he showed easily YC lvl feats and potrayal. Base Sabo wouldve wrecked anyone else. Whilst Mera Sabo saying he has his hands filled with DF-less Burgess.….just speaks lvls for him. Current Burgess is defintely not as weak as most people think he is. And once he gets a hax fruit, he’ll easily be YC1+
