Aokiji is an ally probably.

He is with Blackbeard to investigate underworld connections.

Probably equals.

The others sentences are fine, the only thing we should care about is the word "加担" that has multiple meanings : it could be colleague, associate, partner in crime or just tied up.
For now, i will just go with "tied up" that means gorosei heard some rumors that kuzan has links with BB.

I think Teach likely perceives him as a subpost but mostly due his nature rather than the actual reality.

I think the way with how Blackbeard calls himself an admiral should be slightly telling of his opinions towards the admirals and lowkey he and Aokiji relationship.

Haven’t read it in a bit I may when I get home but that’d be odd with a commodore being a much lower rank

It's not based of marine ranks

Doesn't the Viz call the Beats Pirates the Animal Kingdom Pirates? lol Viz translation is ass, they change things for no reason.

Kaido is also known as Governor-General of the Beast Pirates so it's just depends on how you perceive I guess.

@Iam25 gonna cry now that you can never argue that Aokiji is a first commander ever again

Update I found the raws and they use "提督" which is a way of saying both Admiral and Commodore. That being said, its also a Kanji that Oda has never used before for the navy ranks. It means "teitoku" in romanji if you want to look it up. That being said, for the naval ranks Oda has used Taisho and Junsho for Admiral and Commodore respectively.

So Viz isn't wrong, just that every other translator has used admiral but Viz chose to use Commodore likely as a way to not confuse readers between Naval Admirals and Admiral Teech. Because english doesn't have these two words for "Admiral."

Since you guys responded to him too @Zoro D Goat @Hiragaro

So it's possible Kuzan may not be working with Teach at all, and that they just had some run ins.

it's completely different word for navy admirals the word is kaigun Taisho (大将) for BB the word is Teitoku (提督) commodore us better translation for it than admiral if im not remember it wrong orlumbus was also a Teitoku
