Speculations Which name for Luffy’s trio ?

#45
Burgess has been portrayed as one of Teach's closest associates. Not only this, there's a lot of subtle hints in the manga that he and Shiliew parallel Zoro and Sanji.

We have no idea how strong Lafitte is

We cant powerscale Burgess either - he got merked by a surprise attack and never had the opportunity to fight in all seriousness against Sabo because Sabo destroyed the arena floor. Plus Sabo himself is a difficult character to scale. Burgess' feats are still rather impressive. Plus, you have to remember the BB pirates are still consolidating their power, unlike the other Yonkos. Teach AND his M3 are still growing in power on a personal basis so obviously Teaches YCs are not as strong as the others yet, hence why Burgess could be weaker than Sabo and still be someone with that level of authority

Half of your post was garbage.
Obviously Burgess can get stronger but that’s not the point, he got a bad portrayal in Dressrosa when he got badly beaten by Sabo. Usually that’s not how Oda treats the strongest opponents because it’s detrimental to their aura. That didn’t happen with Shiryu because he’s obviously Zoro’s future opponent.

Also, I don’t see any parallel between Sanji and Burgess.

BB’s M3 coming from Impel Down makes more sense to me. Pizarro, Vasco Shot and Sanjuan Wolf fit the bill. That’s the way I see it, I don’t see how my opinion is garbage.

He didn't though

He went toe to toe with Sabo and the only decent hit Sabo got on him was a surprise attack. Plus Burgess merked his entire bracket in 20 - Burgess had a pretty decent portrayal if you ask me.

Oda portrays the BB pirates as mirrors/rivals of the SHs - they're growing stronger at a quick pace too. Sanji/Zoro would've met the same fate if they had to fight Sabo.

A prevailing theory is that Sanji and Zoro will 2v2 Shiliew and Burgess because the Suke Suke no Mi and Kira Kira no Mi are strongly tied to both of them and yet one of them has already ended up in the hands of what you would expect to be a different crewmates opponent. Sanji and Suke Suke - but Shiliew ate it. It makes sense for Burgess to eat the Kira Kira, which will be a significant powerup.

Oda only needs to portray the big daddy villains as imposing and overbearingly powerful aka the guys Luffy fights. Mr 2 was a joke (still ended up being a big threat) - fought Sanji, or Hatchan - fought Zoro. Heck, Kakku and Jyabra were a complete mess. PASTA MACHINE!? Dude Oda doesn't give a fuck about how he portrays villains.

I wouldn’t put Burgess in this group, given how he got humiliated in Dressrosa. I wouldn’t put Lafitte in this group either, he seems more like a smart guy rather than a powerhouse.

The three strongest are more likely to be ex level 6 prisoners of Impel Down, their feats and threat level speak volumes about their strength.
Burgess and Lafitte are with Shiryu as BB top 3
You gotta wake up, Burgess and Lafitte are Teach strongest commanders after Shiryu

Zoro has a 'Ashura' form which is his PU, Ashura means Devil.

Sanji's PU is Diable Jambe, 'Diable' means Devil in French and Jambe means leg.

Jinbei has a face that is commonly associated with various Japanese demons such as the Oni. His yellow eyebrows and sideburns are distinctly shaped like those found on such demons, in addition to a bulb-like nose and an angular lower lip pointing upwards. He also possesses two tusk-like conical lower fangs associated with Oni as well.

So maybe they'll be the 3 Demons or Monster Trio.

Based on what ?

There's literally nobody else it could be

Augur and Doc Q have a shout since they were OGs but hell no. They've already been pitted against Usopp and Chopper
Again, based on what ? Just on a fan theory about Kira Kira no Mi and Suke Suke no Mi ? And there’s hardly a connection between Zoro and Kira Kira no Mi.

Also, I fail to see how Chopper vs Doc Q is a certainty. Because they’re both doctors ? Then why would Lafitte fight Jinbe instead of Nami ? Why would Burgess fight Sanji instead of Jinbe ?

I’ve yet to see any evidence that makes your predictions obvious. Do you have any argument to say Pizarro couldn’t fight Sanji, for example ? Or any argument against Jinbe vs Vasco Shot ?

If you wanna call someone else’s post garbage for no reason, at least try to make sense. But being civil is more important.
