Questions & Mysteries Sanji’s BBP fight

[NotTommy]

My best bet right now would be Avalo Pizarro. Corrupt King from North Blue that's always eating and seems pretty greedy/gluttonous seems fitting for Sanji who's kindness is highlighted whenever he feeds anyone that's hungry. If not him then either Burgess or the 10th Commander. Can't really see Sanji facing any of the others though Lafitte sounds like another interesting choice.

I see a lot of Burgess is first mate when in fact Lafitte is the one listed as chief of staff, while also being the navigator, which would make him the right hand it’s the same position Sabo has for the Revs. He even acts super loyal to BB based on how he threatened to kill Pizarro for suggesting that he takes over as captain or how he infiltrated the warlord meeting to offer up BB’s name for a warlord position, he’s a day 1 just like Burgess too. Helping the crew infiltrate Marineford was also a big play on his end. He to me feels like the most important BB subordinate even if I don’t consider him second strongest (Shiryu)

Chief of staff is a vague status, Trebol was Doflamingo's chief of staff but didn't seem to have a higher position than Pica and Diamante. Also Burgess looks like a complete brainless dumbass while Lafitte is a smart guy, that could explain why he has a higher a position (if he really does).

It's a real shame that Lafitte will likely not end up stronger than Burgess considering how much smarter and more badass he looks.

Pizarro or Lafitte for now, I guess. Sanji’s fight is one of the least certain ones with lots of possibilities.
Lafitte’s New World re-introduction alongside Shiryu boosts his chances up quite a bit though, not gonna lie.

Laffitte never was a likely candidate in my book, I think the only ones who might face him are Pizarro, Shot, Sanjuan Wolf and maybe the 10th Commander depending on his personality, strength and abilities.

Laffitte looks like a ladyboy, can fly and is one of the most relevant BBP, who else could fight this rare bird other than the speed Demon, adv. CoC user, Ryuo master, FS expert, Lanji Diablo the Black Firebird?

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Is there any evidence of someone being first mate of the BB Pirates bar Shiryu? Power wise at least Shiryu would decidedly make the most sense I assume.

Lafitte being named chief of staff like Sabo was whos canonically the number 2 of the Revs

The one who gave me the impression of an awesome fighter is Van Auger. Too bad he is fighting Usopp so he will probably end up modest all God Usopp stuff aside.

10th TT

Itd be dumb to be all secretive abt this guy if he only ends up fighting some mid tier SH.

You're assuming strength is the only possible reason explaining Oda being secretive about this character but it's really not. There could be a lot of good reasons without the character being M3 level.

And if Yamato joins the crew, I could see her fight the 10th TT.

Nah I doubt it’s strength it’s probably just because we’ve met this person before.

Burguess and Shiryu are Teach top commanders
[automerge]1636100884[/automerge]

It's Shiryu. We going by top guys by BB's correct? Then it is Burgess and Shiryu. Burgess is his First Mate and thus fight Zoro on that while Shiryu is left-hand to him and thus Sanji fight him. We see this on Oda put them as equals and top guys of the Strawhats, so make sense to face top guys of BB Pirates.
[automerge]1632949943[/automerge]

Not really. Probably to Zoro more though.
[automerge]1632950098[/automerge]

Nah, but Yeti Brothers and Beetle Gifter are looking to put more name on Zoro's fainting.
[automerge]1632950153[/automerge]

I agree, but we talking about Sanji. We know he beating top guys in BB's crew. Not dumb insecurity headcannon.

Seth, please. Your dumbass is only ok for one time a day, don't keep being idiot for your life. Though happy to hear that. Guess getting cuck for living is your true fetish .

It has to be Shiryu he is fighting as Burgess and Shiryu are one have top ships, so doesn't make sense to face the other ones.

Zoro fights first mate guys, Burgess is the one he is fighting and Sanji fights the left-hand ones being Shiryu.

So King isn't 'first mate' then? Why he fighting him? Burgess coming back stronger, Idk why you guys think he is not apart of group anymore .
[automerge]1633939084[/automerge]
Idk why anyone don't think Sanji still can't fight Shiryu given fact he is second-in-command of the BB ship while Burgess is first-in-command of the first ship. From how Oda talks about Zoro and Sanji facing top guys, it be Zoro vs Burgess and Sanji vs Shiryu. It make sense on Zoro facing first mate guys and Sanji facing left-hand ones.

It's canon. Oda states Burgess is BB's first mate. Your on headcannons here.

Burgess is first mate, Oda stated on him. Why you think he isn't coming back stronger and not apart of the crew? Zoro vs Burgess is happening while Sanji vs Shiryu is more to happen on their left-hands too.

He isn't BB's left-hand though, Shiryu is by those who manage the ship. I think he is more Nami or Brook opponent for Laffie.

Why is he not 2nd ship though? Shiryu is, not him. Chief of Staff is more like Nami's position who keep everything in check when Luffy isn't talking there to be honest. Not saying Zoro and Sanji don't lead the crew too, but not same as we talking about.

Not same in another crew though. Don Krieg calls himself 'Admiral', but is he?
[automerge]1634800076[/automerge]

Why you guys think Burgess is never coming back and won't fight again? He going to be there and have new power and probably have something to Zoro to fight against to make it interesting while Sanji fight Shiryu on his abilities and in invisible world as he is more prime to sense him out to prevent his invisible attacks on everyone. Make sense on them fighting one another.

That what I mean, position is different and not same crew situation as another. True Admiral isn't what he is and thus Lafitte isn't someone Sanji is facing, but Shiryu instead.

We haven't seen much of crew interactions and given BB put Burgess and Shiryu as 1st Ship and 2nd Ship on them, BB know how to gauge on power and strength and that put on these guys on them into the future.
[automerge]1634800516[/automerge]

Where they call him Commodore?

No evidence on Lafitte on that and he never given 2nd ship even on that title. Not same dynamic to another crew as that like saying King and Queen are not equals given how BMP pirates see Katakuri as strongest, but Beast Pirates see both King and Queen as equals though.
[automerge]1634800573[/automerge]

Not seeing it as that mean Zoro isn't facing first mate if he fights Shiryu, never stated on Shiryu being there if Burgess by Oda stated he is first mate. They have clashes around, but Zoro vs Burgess and Sanji vs Shiryu is more set there.

That still proves my point though as you can't take meaning of positions from another place to another as it is not same. You prove my point when I was talking about Krieg when he isn't Admiral to Marine on how they see 'Admiral'.
[automerge]1634800833[/automerge]

Again I disagree there as it's not him. It not fight especially we have no idea on his abilities, but he seem to be Brook's fight as being dancer, Shiryu is more fit on Sanji on a fight for him.

Shiryu isn't first mate though, Burgess is. Zoro fighting first mate is shown even in the arc, so why wouldn't he not faced Burgess who been confirmed as BB's first mate? Sanji fight left-hand members and that is Shiryu there.

Aokiji not really fighting them given he is more of spy and Shiryu is not first mate, Burgess is confirmed so he fighting him more.

Sanji fighting Shiryu given left-hand on them being confirmed as nothing talks about that.

Zoro fought comedy opponents like Apoo and Gyukimaru, so that takes away your point.

Nah always equal of the two.

No wonder why they banned you twice.....

Nah that’s Nami’s fight.

The 10th TC will be a beast just like Shiryu. Oda wouldn’t make this guy the only new recruit and keep him so secretive if he wasn’t gonna be a heavy hitter.

Lafitte, Burgess, and Pizarro don’t make any sense as Sanji’s potentially final opponent. Shiryu was plenty of setup and parallels to Zoro, while these guys have barely anything for Sanji.

Burgess has no parallels with Sanji
Neither does Lafitte
The only parallel that Pizarro has is being North Blue royalty, which is a weak parallel.

Shiryu has being a dishonorable swordsman to contrast heavily with Zoro. If Oda thinks that “muh evil NB royalty” makes Pizarro a compelling enough foil to Sanji, then I will be heavily disappointed. Not to mention that Pizarro has no standout portrayal from the other Level 6 recruits. As for Burgess and Lafitte, I can only assume that these guys are popular choices just because they have more screentime than the others so far

Laffite has an introduction card with Shiryu similar to King abd Queen

Hes also Chief of staff which is at bare minimum the #3 position in terms of command in BB's crew.

I still say hes fighting Brook but him being paired with Sanji isnt out of the blue

Not convincing enough setup imo. Also, where was Lafitte called the Chief of Staff?

I mean i disagree about the lafitte thing.

Lafitte is an infilitrator and snuck in on Warlords like Sanji snuck in on CP0
Lafitte opened the Gates of Justice for Blackbeard, Sanji closed the gates of Justice for Luffy
Lafitte is the only other BB Pirate other than BB and Shiryu with any special portrayal.

Lafitte is a Sanji fight. I'm sure when we learn more about him we'll see more
