If Shiryu was able to surpass all the original members of the BBPs, and got second ship ? Why cant he surpass Burgess ? Why is BB adamant on keeping Burgess as the captain of the first ship….and his RHM ?

” Buh…Buh…its not position of power”, “Its Loyalty”….then why isnt Shiryu like 5th ship Captain ? How tf did Shiryu get to 2nd ship Captain when we know damn well BB’s original followers are more loyal ?

Blackbeard entrusted Ace’s fruit to Burgess…thats a big deal. He wants Ace to be reborn into Burgess. Burgess is also the BBP whos the most like BB. Like they both always get Ls, until they get rewarded with the Ult W. Blackbeard captured Ace, and Burgess helped found Revo HQ and had the BBPs destroy it.

- Burgess also was handling Base Sabo, making Sabo run away to the Mera Fruit and eat it. Base Sabo is Dragon’s YC1
- Burgess made Koala piss her pants, and had a similar threat lvl to Doffy in Sabo’s eyes.
- All of Base Sabo’s attacks are useless on him, and he cant crush Burgess’s head like he did Vice Admiral Bastille
- Only attacks that do shit to Burgess is the flame fruit attacks

Burgess did this all DFless, once he gets a DF he‘ll be dangerous.:steef::steef::steef:
WB - BB Yonkou
Oden - Shiryu - Captain of the 2nd ship
It's obvious that BB and Shiryu are the anti WB and Oden. :myman:
Burgess is the Jack/Cracker of the crew. :saden:

I reread post timeskip over Christmas holiday. And I still think burgess is Blackbeards most trusted ally and one of his strongest. But rereading dressrosa made my wonder if he was in a leadership position, why didn’t burgess sirectly report to BB after getting to Baltigo after showing us Burgess had a snail for Blackbeard himself. Why did he go to shiryu and Lafitte? It was a weird thing that made me doubt burgess being a leader in a crew. But he does still seem the closest to Blackbeard afterall
Shiryu just happened to be there, it wasn't Shiryu and Laffitte.

oden was captain of the 2nd ship in wb ship
perhaps the numbers dont matter as far as powerlevels are concerned?
Oden was barely a WBP...dude defected. I dont think hes a fair potrayal. He couldve possibly gotten higher if he stayed.

As much as Oda denies it....the number must mean, forgetting Oden the PLs are adjacent to the PLs of the crew. I guess its cause Oden was something he didnt plan pre timeskip, thus this happening.

There must be a reason Shiryu is above everyone else bar Burgess. Does BB trust Burgess more, is he the real Right Hand, is Burgess is stronger

Oden was also known by the Navy as the former holder of the second division captain.

It's more than fair.

"Oden was barely a WBP...dude defected. I dont think hes a fair potrayal. He couldve possibly gotten higher if he stayed."

No , marco was the first division commander, he isnt being replaced because someone stronger came along. Ace was the second division commander and it was implied wb saw him as some sort of successor . In the same token, shiryu joined the bb pirates well after established members like burgess and lafitte.


"There must be a reason Shiryu is above everyone else bar Burgess. Does BB trust Burgess more, is he the real Right Hand, is Burgess is stronger"

The panel I posted above tells you why , he doesnt trust him more than the others, in fact he might trust burgess more in that regard. shiryu is just stronger than the rest of them.



"Oden was something he didnt plan pre timeskip, thus this happening."
am pretty sure prets while ace occupied the 2nd div spot , seeds were already planted for oden to come along......

But WB saw more potential in Ace thus wanted him to have a higher position than Marco. I wouldnt have been suprised if he made Ace his FM if he survived.

So do you believe Burgess is strong enough that Shiryu cant overtake him by being alot stronger than him ?

Yh but I highly doubt he was planning for the old 2nd Div to be stronger than Marco.

I dont doubt it, it was made pretty clear ace had very big shoes to fill in the 2nd div spot.
Being the First mate and being the the captain of the first ship can be two different things. lafitte for example is the chief of staff (same role as sabo) and captain of the fifth ship .


what I believe is , No matter how strong shiryu gets, he will remain the captain of the second ship is my point. Same with oden and marco.
your logic here quite plainly suggest van auger is the third strongest commander. thats the guy fighting usopp.

Laffite being Chief of Staff is a speculation from the VC team. The VC said hes "like" the Chief of Staff, and thats just an assumption of the canon.

But what about when the roles were being given out ? Why couldnt Shiryu have surpassed Burgess then.

I mean its possible....not throwing out any possibility. All that really matters is the M3 opponents, anything else could be a tossup. And Auger has reallly good potrayal.

BB's crew already had members with roles before he added shiryu, devon, vasco shot.. .........
i guess we wait and see , shiryu is evidently the strongest one given the n2's oda drew in the page.

Currently... sure.

But that Colourspread doesnt account for Past or Future Crew PLs. If it did, Oden would be there and possibily Kuma, not Marco and Sabo.

And also it would have OP DF Burgess....who is possibly > Invisible Fruit Shiryu. Seriously worse DF option for Shiryu lmao.

Like invisibility is Queen's tertiary ability and the former owner was destroyed by Pre Timeskip Sanji.

the last crew oden was a part of was roger's
marco remained wb's crewmate ,its clear who his n2 was. you are just grasping at straws at this point .
