Sorry, if something similar to this has already been made. I'm new and I wanted to share my thoughts. I posted this on another forum so I wanted to see what people here would think on the matter.
I think it'll be Avalo Pizzaro for reasons I'll state. Before that, I want to talk about why I don't think it'll be Jesus even though him and Shiryu are the Captains of the 1st and 2nd Ships of Blackbeard's Crew. I find Jesus to be pretty disappointing so far (as he was, along with Blackbeard's crew's original members, too weak to help Blackbeard in the fight against Ace and was later humiliated by Sabo, before eating the Mera Mera no mi) and whilst most of Blackbeard's Crew don't exactly have solid feats, atleast most of them were kept in Level 6 of Impel Down so that's better than nothing, portrayal-wise. Even those that weren't seem more threatening than Jesus (Van Augur being a ridiculously skilled sniper and Laffitte having hypnosis).
Now for why I think it'll be Avalo; he's a former king from the North Blue and Sanji, being a Prince of Germa, shares being from that corner of the world and being royalty there (atleast at some point), with Avalo. Another reason is Avalo's gluttony, he's constantly shown eating and was said to be a greedy ruler and Sanji, being a generous chef that'll feed anyone who's hungry, would make for an interesting fight between the two, and would give the opportunity for one or two interesting lines in their encounter. Avalo's selfishness as a corrupt king is another reason as Sanji's characterized by his kindness and detests his family for their cruel and pompous nature.
Now, you could make an argument for why Sanji might fight Shiryu but most people seem to think that that dude'll battle Zoro due to them both being swordsman and that seems most likely. However Shiryu fighting Sanji (since they both have invisibility, though that would make for a pretty dumb fight) wouldn't surprise me. I can't really picture Sanji facing any of the other members of Teach's crew for his main battle when the two crew face off though I'm fine with being surprised.
