Future Events Who will be Sanji's opponent in the Blackbeard Pirates?

The answer is either Burgess or Lafitte.
Lafitte is a good candidate, but the fact is that Sanji's main fights have always been, in the large part, against gag-type characters:
- Mr. 2
- Jabura
- Absalom
- Wadatsumi
- Queen
with the only exception represented by Kuroobi.
Lafitte seems too serious and cool as a character, so I think Burgess is just more fitting.

Because Lafitte has been shown as brain of the operation and probably he adds up mysterious aura about it. He is similar to sanji.
It can still be pizzaro with all north blue saga over again but it seems oda likes to parallel right hand mens.
For blackbeard its shiryu and lafitte they have always been shown together .

He was shown acting as Teach’s advisor this chapter and Nami had that same dynamic with Luffy. Lafitte is shown to be one of the only Titanic Captains who genuinely respects Teach, and Nami’s loyalty to Luffy has been emphasized a lot recently. Lafitte’s a former sheriff and Teach’s navigator while Nami is a former thief and Luffy’s navigator.
Pizarro's a corrupt king from the North Blue and that could hint at a connection to Judge. Though admittedly we know basically nothing about him as of right now

Sanji and Lafitte are more similar thematically than Nami and Lafitte. Both Sanji and Lafitte regularly perform solo missions of the straw hats and act as secondary leaders in the crew.
Heck when it was stated luffy lost, it was Sanji that mentioned Luffy performs miracles similarly to how Lafitte shows that complete faith in Teach you mentioned.
Honestly a corrupt king that mentioned slaves last chapter fits more for Jinbe thematically as his dream is based on equality of all races and an abolition of slavery.

I mean Lafitte is called the Chief of Staff, and that's pretty similar to Nami running day-to-day life on the Sunny
I don't mean to imply that Sanji isn't loyal to Luffy, but for Nami her growing faith in Luffy has been part of a character arc for her. Like, that moment where she said Luffy would be the pirate king to Ulti was meant to be a callback to Bellemere's death
I mean all the Blackbeard pirates are in on the slavery, so I'm not sure what makes Pizarro unique in that regard

Sanji acts more like a chief of staff imo. There’s a reason why when the crew separated Sanji was the captain in Luffys stead in Dressrosa, and even earlier pre timeskip in sabaody.
Pizarros uniqueness comes from his epithet of a corrupt king, it’s corrupt leaders of the world government that is the main antagonist of Jinbes dream of equality so Jinbe fighting a corrupt king is a nice connection to that part of Jinbes character. Especially since racism was what oda focused on in Jinbe vs Who’s who I have to believe oda will continue that theme to Jinbes future fights

I mean Sanji gets ordered around a lot by Nami, so I personally really don't see it. Sanji was the person most suited to take charge of that situation in Dressrosa, and so he did
I mean maybe, but Pizarro isn't a king anymore so I feel like the idea of him being a stand-in for the world government doesn't really make sense. But again, we know basically nothing about him

There’s also the solo missions such as Sanji on the sea train and Lafitte in Mariejoa
The thematic connection of Sanji closing the gates of Justice for the straw hats and Lafitte opening them for the Blackbeard Pirates
And Pizarros still may not be a king, but his pirate epithet and his design still gives the thematic vibe of a king
