Nah he’s a male so he’s safe from that.
At least he isn’t the weakest :myman:
Tho in all seriousness, the pre ID BBP group is bound to have few of the weakest members aka Laffite, the sniper guy and Doc Q (it can’t be Burgess cuz he got a ridiculous power up recently) cuz the Impel down group is just a power house addition to the crew.

Honestly the Level 6 prisoners are the Tobi Roppo equivalent.
Shiryu is strong and Pizarros massive, but Devon, Sanjuan, and Vasco are the fodder.

I agree with that too. And that’s how Oda is setting that up, but let’s be honest there’s no need for them to be any stronger than that! It would be ridiculous to have BBPs all on YC level so the usual yonko fighters level structure is sufficient tho obviously slightly stronger.

By #2 guy you mean like "YC2", right? Behind Shiryu. He could be, most people in the fandom think he is.

I've personally always been pushing for Avalo for the North Blue nobility stuff and his fruit was pretty dope until we saw its weakness (it was a letdown). If Lafitte shows some good stuff this arc then he's definitely Sanji's guy.
Yes, behind Shiryu

Avalo's fruit was indeed a letdown :catcry:

Lafitte, Burgess and Shiryu are Teach top 3 commanders
That was set since the chapter where Lafitte and Shiryu called Burgess
True, it was the same structure of calamities interactions, admirals, sweet commanders, shanks commanders, etc

Lafitte is the most loyal and strongest BBP after teach and aokiji.

Chief of staff.

Former sheriff that tortured people for fun.

Invaded pre TS mariejoa with "hawk eyes" and sengoku only noticing him once he allowed them too.

Only BBP whose fruit hasn't been revealed.

Shiryu might aswell be CoC user since he turned sengoku and mihawk's observation off.

Shiryu needs a fruit to do what base lafitte does lol.

Not to mention what he can still show regarding fruit, hipnosis and haki.

Lafitte is #2 without a doubt.

I definetly see you and it sounds good but Burgess i think will still remain as the number 2 combatwise... lafitte seems more dangerous tho good thread.
Burgess got negged by sabo and aokiji, he is jinbei fight at best.

Strength guy losing by jinbe's judo/karate.

If we go by portrayal in marineford, teach's commanders are vasco, augur and shiryu lol.

Shanks commanders were matched with shiryu, augur and vasco.

Post automatically merged:

People are just living in their own world where Pizarro is BB TOP 3

ODA isn't shafting Lafitte and Burgess for Pizarro
Only Shiryu is above them
Aokiji stronger than them tho, i still believe he is yamato's match up.

Luffy/teach

Zoro/janitoryu

Sanji/lafitte

Jinbe/burgess

Yamato/aokiji

Considering the Blackbeard Pirates role in this post Wano arc. First we saw Teach ambush Amazon Lily bringing Catarina and Vasco with him. Later we see the Blackbeard crew split into two groups: Shiryu leading one unit to guard their base. While Teach has lead the other unit to fight Law. Avalo Pizzaro and Burgess two other popular candidates for Blackbeard's #2...I think that shipped has sailed both of them looked unimpressive.

We have seen every Blackbeard Pirate in action post Wano EXCEPT Laffitte. Where is he? We know the Blackbeard Pirates are on Egghead so Laffitte is clearly involved with this mission. Teach clearly trusts Laffitte and holds him in high regard. He's had impressive stealth feats during Pre-Skip One Piece. He slipped into Mary Geoise completely undetected even with Mihawk and Doflamingo there.




Laffitte also carried the Blackbeard's infiltration into Impel Down


Laffitte threatened Avalo Pizzaro


Now considering all of this alongside the fact Laffitte is leading the Blackbeard Pirates infiltration into Egghead (which according to the Narrator is supposed to be a world changing event) it's becoming clear Laffitte is one of the strongest pirates in Blackbeard's crew. Knowing Oda Laffitte is going to get some good feats in on Sanji before this Egghead arc is over
ive been stating this since long ago and how he is severally underrated overall in terms of rank and power.
