Honestly this is one of the few times where i'm rooting for the SHs to beat the living crap out of the villians (the BB pirates). Fucking degenerate ugly ass the lot of them
Means they are doing their job right.
I love the BB pirates, a villain group acting like actual pirates in the series.
Risk taking, but knows when to retreat. Morally not all there. etc

There isn't anything bad about BB in this chapter. This is how he always functioned if we ignore the pointless agendas. He always avoided useless fights instead of being unrealistically brave for no logical reason like our protagonists.
I don't understand the hyper focus of agenda, like why??
Clearly what BB did is definitely in character for him.
He is no coward in a true sense. He has put his life on the line multiple times, and has said that if he dies in the way to his dream he is perfectly fine with it.
He just doesn't want to take risks without a good enough payout.
Rayleigh himself says he will likely lost at this stage.
But BB doesn't want to fight, because it is too much of a risk for him. He might win most likely, but it will be a high-extreme diff and might lose an limb or so in the process, especially given that Rayleigh came with the full intent for a serious battle if needed.
Is Hancock's fruit worthy enough for him to risk that, and two of his captains? Probably not in his eyes. So he backed off.
It's a risk vs reward weighing for him.
Ultimately, this wouldn't matter too much in the long run. Because we know that BB will be (one of) the endgame villain(s), and when the time comes for a throne war, he will be willing to fight putting everything on that line. Because at that time, it will be worth the risk for him.
thats true
but people want a villain to be more menacing
BB is a perfect villain IMO, for the role he particularly plays in the series.
Calculating villain pirate, who weighs in risk and reward properly, instead of mindlessly jumping into unnecessary fights. While not a coward in a true way, in the sense that he will risk everything including his life, if the reward is worth it for him
