Burgess got the short end of the stick after Dressrosa. His pride took a nosedive when Sabo crushed him, and later, the Revolutionary Army wiped the floor with his crew at Baltigo. It’s funny how he’s still Blackbeard’s 'Champion' despite being the team’s resident jobber.
I wonder if his constant losses are foreshadowing. Blackbeard’s crew thrives on betrayal—maybe Burgess’s incompetence will finally push Teach to replace him. Or worse, sacrifice him. Either way, his post-Dressrosa arc feels like a slow burn toward something brutal or bizarre.
Post-Dressrosa, Burgess’s arc is a masterclass in how 'One Piece' balances humor and menace. He’s terrifying in theory—a commander of the most dangerous pirate crew—yet keeps tripping over his own ego. After Sabo dismantled him, he slunk back to Teach, only to bumble into another disaster at Baltigo. The guy’s like a cockroach: hard to kill but not exactly threatening.
What’s intriguing is his implied rivalry with Sabo. Their clash wasn’t just physical; it symbolized the Revolutionary Army shutting down Blackbeard’s meddling. Burgess’s repeated failures might be setting up a bigger narrative—perhaps Teach’s crew isn’t as unified as they seem. Or maybe Oda’s just trolling us.
Burgess became such a meme post-Dressrosa, and I’m here for it. Dude went from hyping himself up as the 'Champion' to getting folded by Sabo, then later stumbling into Baltigo like a lost tourist. The Revolutionary Army probably saw him coming a mile away—imagine being the only guy in a skull helmet sneaking around.
But honestly, his role post-timeskip feels like deliberate comic relief. Blackbeard’s crew thrives on chaos, and Burgess’s failures oddly fit that vibe. Even his design screams 'washed-up wrestler,' which makes his constant Ls weirdly endearing. I low-key hope he gets one legit win before the series ends, though.
Jesus Burgess' story after Dressrosa took some wild turns! After his humiliating defeat by Sabo, he retreated to regroup with Blackbeard's crew. The manga later showed him infiltrating the Revolutionary Army's headquarters on Baltigo, where he got absolutely wrecked again—this time by the whole army. It’s almost comedic how he keeps swinging above his weight class.
What fascinates me is how Burgess embodies Blackbeard’s 'luck over strength' philosophy. Even after repeated failures, he’s still given major missions, like stealing the Mera Mera no Mi. His persistence is either admirable or delusional, but it makes him a fun wildcard in the 'One Piece' world. I’m curious if Oda’s setting him up for a redemption arc or just using him as a punching bag.

Asher and Sienna have been inseparable since childhood. The night before Asher leaves for Alpha training, they share one unforgettable moment, their first night together. He promises her that no matter what happens, when he returns, she will be his Luna, mate or not.
Years later, Sienna stands at the edge of the packhouse crowd, her heart pounding with hope and their young son balanced on her hip. The moment Asher steps out of the car, his scent hits her like a wave, he’s her mate.
Joy floods her chest… until he tenses, barely glancing her way. Without a word, Asher walks around the car and opens the door for a stunning, pregnant woman.
And just like that, Sienna’s world begins to unravel.
"I believed his promise. I carried his child... I waited for him, I was fateful to him and he came back with someone else. He broke his promise, but I won't let him break me."
Lyra Blackthorne, the daughter of the murdered Alpha of the Moonfang Pack, could never lead the pack because she had a Moon Wolf. Her mate, Rowan, was named Alpha in her place.
After assuming the title of Alpha, Lyra was betrayed and brutally rejected, not only by Rowan, but also by her entire pack and her stepsister Calista, with whom Rowan was having a secret affair.
“I reject Moon Wolf Lyra as my mate. She was found in bed with a stranger, which means she would betray the pack. The punishment for betrayal is death,” Alpha Rowan announced mercilessly.
The chants of the pack members and visiting Alphas, who had come to the Alpha conference, echoed through the trial. No one thought that Alpha Mikail, whose name sent shivers down spines due to his cruelty, would attend the conference.
Lyra found hope when she realized that Alpha Mikail was her second-chance mate, but she was painfully rejected once again. The double rejection caused her to lose her wolf, and she was sentenced to death by all the Alphas present.
She thought her fate was sealed when Alpha Mikail left and a warrior prepared to execute her. Everyone was stunned when, suddenly, Alpha Mikail turned around.
“Stop! The traitorous daughter of a deceased Alpha must not die. More suffering still awaits her,” he declared.
Lyra’s heart sank as she saw his dark gaze, deep as an abyss, while she fainted from exhaustion.
A few months later, a war broke out among the Alphas, as they began to fight over the Moon who had been rejected twice.
With her she-wolf dead, would the Moon Goddess be generous enough to give her another she-wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now-cold heart?
Selene Winters was raised to be the perfect Luna—elegant, quiet, and completely devoted to her fated mate, Damon Voss. She thought love would be enough. That being chosen by the Moon Goddess guaranteed a happy ending.
She was wrong.
On the night of their mating ceremony, Alpha Damon rejected her in front of the entire Bloodhowl Pack. Called her weak. Unworthy. A mistake. And when no one stepped in—not even her family—Selene did the only thing she could. She ran.
Everyone assumed she died in the cursed Shadow Forest. No one survives that place. But they don’t know what really lives there.
Two years later, Selene returns. Not as the broken girl Damon left behind—but as an Alpha. Strong. Commanding. Untouchable.
And she’s not interested in forgiveness.
Because the bond? It’s gone.
The Luna he rejected? She's the Alpha he’ll regret.
Ella believed that she would die of refusal. She did not think that it would free her.
Expectant and abandoned, Ella runs to the enemy land with nothing but the life develops within her, the son of her former mate, the child he will never see again. Alpha Kane Winters is her savior and his help has a price not known to her until it is too late. He doesn't see Ella. He observes the apparition of the deceased mate.
Stuck between the obsessive love of Kane and the desperate redemption of Nathaniel, Ella gets to realize something she never suspected and that is her strength. However, in a case when old evils, conspiracy of councils, and malevolent magic are united against her yet to be born child, she will not be strong enough.
To pursue the fools gold, Nathaniel sacrificed a diamond. Now he will torch the world to show that he is a different man but words are empty and Ella cannot trust him anymore ever since that night when he preferred another woman to her screams.
Rejection cannot break some bonds. Others are in blood, stampeded with treachery, and trying with unbelievable decisions. Fighting to secure the future of her son, Ella will have to realize the fact that the worst monsters wear the mask of rescuers, the redemption requires more than excuses, and that there are situations when the only means of getting somewhere is not to wait to be rescued.
Because a Luna doesn't kneel. She rises. And when she does it, the entire world shakes.
Enise had a simple life dream, find her mate and live a happy life.
When Alpha Lucas proposes marriage, she agrees immediately.
What Enise didn't expect was to fall into a well crafted plot.
It turns out that Alpha Lucas was only looking for an heir.
When she gives birth to her daughter, she is snatched away and send to a mental asylum where she escapes death.
Five years later, she is back to take revenge on all those who hurt her.
Ishida, a young man, unexpectedly meets a girl named Rhina by sheer fate. But before long, a war erupts and they are captured by soldiers led by the malicious Lieutenant Monte.
The lieutenant gives them a dreadfully simple choice: leave their homes in search of a legendary "lost city at sea," its immortal king, and bring back a mind-boggling amount of gold, or have their mountain reduced to ashes. Ishida’s father had set out in search of the place, too, but never returned.
The journey will take them across oceans, sun-scorched deserts, and over perilous mountains; but most importantly of all: the two will discover their true selves will discover their true selves when they confront what will determine their fate.
The questions remain: will they be able to find the lost city at sea and bring its treasures back to the avaricious lieutenant before time runs out? Or, perhaps the place they are searching for is simply non-existent?
Man, Jesus Burgess is one of those characters in 'One Piece' who just oozes brute energy, you know? He's the captain of the first ship of the Blackbeard Pirates and serves as the crew's combatant. Dude's built like a tank and loves a good fight—his whole vibe is 'smash first, ask questions later.' What's wild is how he contrasts with Blackbeard's scheming nature; Burgess is all raw power and pride, like a wrestler who stepped out of the ring and into the Grand Line.
Remember his debut during the Dressrosa arc? That guy crashed the Colosseum like a hurricane, boasting about his strength and hunting the Mera Mera no Mi. Even though he got clowned by Sabo, it showed how fearless he is. Later, during the Payback War, he got wrecked by the Revolutionary Army, but you gotta admire his tenacity. He's not the smartest tool in the shed, but his loyalty to Blackbeard and his sheer audacity make him memorable. Kinda like that one friend who charges headfirst into trouble—you can't help but root for him, even when he's clearly outmatched.
Jesus Burgess has always struck me as this weird mix of intimidating and comically underwhelming in 'One Piece'. As the first commander of the Blackbeard Pirates, you'd expect him to be this unstoppable force, right? But his actual feels like a letdown compared to other top-tier fighters in the series. He got wrecked by Sabo during the Dressrosa arc, which really showed his limits. That said, he's still physically monstrous—lifting entire buildings like they're cardboard boxes. His raw strength is undeniable, but in a world where Haki and Devil Fruits dominate, his lack of versatility hurts him. I think Oda keeps him around as a contrast to Blackbeard's cunning, almost like a brute-force foil.
What fascinates me is how Burgess might evolve. Post-timeskip, he's got the Riki Riki no Mi (strong-strong fruit), which theoretically should make him a powerhouse. But we haven't seen enough to judge if he's truly elite now. Compared to guys like Katakuri or King, he feels like a B-lister. Still, I wouldn't count him out—Blackbeard's crew thrives on surprises, and Burgess could pull a shocking upgrade later.
Burgess joining Blackbeard's crew feels like one of those 'right place, right time' moments in pirate history. From what we see in 'One Piece', he's a brawler through and through—someone who thrives on chaos and strength. Blackbeard's rise to power wasn't just about brute force; it was calculated, theatrical even. That mix of raw power and strategic ambition probably appealed to Burgess. He’s not the type to follow just anyone, but Teach? Teach had the vision to shake the world, and Burgess wanted front-row seats to that show.
What’s interesting is how their dynamic plays out. Burgess isn’t just a lackey; he’s got his own pride, his own hunger for recognition. The way he fights in the Colosseum during Dressrosa screams 'look at me!'—yet he still defers to Blackbeard’s bigger plans. Maybe it’s because Teach lets him indulge in that violence while pointing it toward something grander. They’re kindred spirits in that way: both love a good fight, but only one’s thinking three steps ahead. That balance probably keeps Burgess loyal—for now, at least.
