Honestly, Bege has potential. If he was one of the main supporting casts like Law and Kidd, he would have earned 3 bil easily. His feats in WCI was phenomenal, he's actually pretty strong and as smart as Law too in strategies and tactics department. And his Big Father is the unironic male equivalent of Big Mom. Just give Bege decent Haki and Awakening and boom. We got Yonko Capone "Big Father" Bege.
Yeah absolutely! He seemed like the 2nd or most weakest Supernova pre TS honestly but Oda made him AMAZING at WCI! His super long shot on Oven with just a pistol was INSANE! A straight up headshot too from such a distance! Mans sniping with just a pistol somehow!
Yeah I enjoy how tactical and thus "mafia boss-like" he was, he added such an interesting dynamic to the arc and for the SHs too. All that "negotiations" with them and him betraying the BM pirates after shacking up to them for 2 years or w/e.
Aye, I do think Oda was purposely doing a parallel of Big Father Capone, the godfather vs the "Madame"/Black Widow/Maneater or something Mafia Queen was a really interesting contrast. Bege was cruel to one of his soldiers pre TS but he seems to be more honourable here, I thought he might be a bit more ruthless with them and gladly sending them to their deaths to protect himself.
Big Father felt like it should have been his awakening too, I feel he has great CoO with that pistol shot I mentioned vs Oven too. I wonder if he can have a sort of "hybrid form" with his giant castle form, acting like a Zoan sort of, making him like Pica's stone golem form but smaller and more akin to The Thing from Fantastic 4 but with his soldiers and cannons included ofc?
I'm surprised he's not ended up working with Cross Guild, I felt he should have teamed up with or even be working for Crocodile and now Croc is part of a Yonko's crew, this could set them up at least? I thought of seeing those 2 take over the OP underworld with Doffy dethroned, maybe Buggy can be the new "joker" which is hilariously appropriate as hes a clown ofc? But Croc and Capone do all the negotiating/business deals and such?
