yeah yeah for sure...
800 chapters of Teach hype and plot armor just to him not be Luffy's main rival
And Teach is not a villain saga. He is the villain who moves the plot of this manga since drum island.
This^^
Unlike other antagonists who got their status from the beginning, we have actually seen BB grow on screen and achieve the status.
He had been more competent because he played role in driving the plot and worked to get his dreams.
Forget endless wait to get Yami, capturing ace, ID infiltration, getting his crew member, getting gura or hunting down DFS for his entire crew or tracking down one of the SN law to get RPGs.....when WB died, his territories in NW was open for everyone.
BB seized that opportunity to get hands over them despite the presence of Kaido, BM, Shanks and WG.
People who call him incompetent or pathetic just because his fights don't get that aura of badass clearly don't understand his character portrayal.
His growth along side MC with both sharing some bigger dreams makes him an ultimate villain and not some random arc villain like doffy, BM or kaido.
