Current Events could Capone get a fight in the cover story?

One of the big let downs of WCI in my opinion is that we never got a fight for capone. The biggest thing Capone ever did in WCI was show off big father and shoot oven, but apart from that, he didn't really do much as far as his strength goes.

Hence, I feel like this current cover story would be a really good way for Oda to show off Capone's strength by having him take on one of the marines. We haven't seen anyone too strong on dressrosa as of yet, however the doflamingo-looking marine did take out gotti quite easily so he could be somewhat strong.

But if he isn't, perhaps Oda could do something to give Capone a bit of time to shine and maybe hype him up a bit before he comes back into the main story.

Since Capone is a supernova, I could see the marines calling in reinforcements to help take him down. Maybe they could send in Gion or Tokikake, both of whom would make pretty good opponents for Capone. Or maybe Oda could even show the SSG by having the SSG come in to take out Capone.

In any case, I would like to see more from this cover story apart from Chiffon simply reuniting with Lola.

Cover stories are not the best way to show fights given how limited the screentime is on the covers so I wouldn't count on the cover story to show Bege's real fighting capabilities. If Gion or Tokitake were really candidates to become admirals I don't think Bege could take on one of them. For Bege to have a real fight we'll most likely have to wait another arc where he'll appear.

Besides Bege is far more a hitman or living castle than a real fighter, he's very reliant on the effect of surprise and defensive capabilities his df offers him and on the number of men and weapons and animunitions he has inside him but was not highlighted for his fighting skills. And when faced by someone or something he cannot take out with the effect of surprise and/or his weapons he prefers to retreat.

I don't think Oda would give Capone a full drawn out fight like Luffy vs kata in the cover story, but Oda could use the cover story to give Capone a power up or show him beat someone strong in order to justify a bounty increase.
