Today we take a look at Jesus Burgess and the Riki Riki no Mi with All Attacks and Abilities. This character in the One Piece universe is interesting due to the Strong Strong fruit and being a member of the Blackbeard pirates.
Yup... Jesus Burgess, better known as the "Champion", is the helmsman and one of the Ten Titanic Captains of the Blackbeard Pirates, as the captain of the First Ship.
Due to his actions and role, he is a minor antagonist in the Jaya Arc, a supporting antagonist in the Impel Down, Marineford, and Dressrosa Arcs, a minor antagonist in the Egghead Arc, and a major antagonist in the Final Saga.
Jesus Burgess is an unusually large, tall, broad, broad-chested, broad shouldered, tan-skinned, muscular man, with a broad upper body and a thin lower body in comparison. He has curly violet hair reaching down to his shoulders and always wears a dark brown mask with orange decorations on it, which covers the upper part of his face but reveals his eyes and his nose. He appears to be based on Luchador wrestlers based on his name and the face mask of Mexican origin.
He wears a sleeveless black shirt and a pair of white pants with ruffles coming from the base then reaching up to his knees; he also wears black bands tied around both elbows. Burgess also appears to be always wearing a championship belt, a belt which wrestlers only obtain from winning many matches or to show that they are extremely skilled in wrestling. It is unknown if Burgess obtained this belt from his mastery in wrestling or if it's just there for his wrestler appearance.
During the timeskip, Burgess has grown a beard and become even more muscular. His hair has also turned a lighter shade than what it was two years ago. While at the Corrida Colosseum, Burgess dons the traditional gladiator attire of sandals and a loincloth, as well as his trademark belt. In addition, his right arm is armored, with his shoulder being covered by a plate pauldron, all held in place by a harness across his chest. He also wears a pair of black gloves. When he first entered the Colosseum as Mr. Store, he was wearing a light green paper bag mask which has eyeholes in it and the name "Store" which is colored aqua-blue and Happy written in black upside-down on the forehead.
During the Egghead Arc, he now wears a golden metal plating over the right side of his skull and jaw due to the injuries he received from fighting Sabo. He also wears his original outfit and reduced his beard to a chin curtain for the metal plating on his face.
As the helmsman of the Blackbeard Pirates and one of its founding members, Burgess is an extremely powerful pirate.[19] After the time-skip, he has become the captain of the first ship of the Blackbeard Pirates,[3] and is also, according to Gatz, one of the Ten Titanic Captains that personally guard the Emperor, Blackbeard.[20] He defeated every challenger he fought in Mock Town with ease[21] and, after the time-skip, won the A Block of the Corrida Colosseum battle royale within seconds, all without a single injury. His mere presence at the Corrida Colosseum was enough to terrify all the nearby gladiators, mighty warriors in their own right.[3]
Based off of his attempt on Luffy's life for the Gomu Gomu no Mi and his conversation with Sabo, he knows of a method of stealing Devil Fruit abilities from others.[22]
Physical Abilities
Burgess has tremendous physical strength. He easily ripped an entire building off its foundations and threw it at Ace across a great distance, while carrying it in the air. In the Corrida Colosseum, he completely overpowered all of his opponents in A Block (including a giant in the anime) by himself single-handedly within seconds. Burgess's strength also extends to his extremely sturdy legs as he jumped down from Dressrosa's immensely high royal palace to the country's street level without a scratch, allowing him to make it to Luffy's location in a very short amount of time, a feat that greatly shocked Koala.[22] In terms of hand-to-hand combat, Burgess is also an immensely powerful and skilled wrestler. His wrestling attacks such as elbow strikes and lariats can generate massive, air pressure-based shockwaves that can demolish buildings with great ease.
At some point after the Dressrosa Arc, Burgess ate the Riki Riki no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants him superhuman strength. This enhances Burgess' already immense strength to the point where he can casually lift a mountain over his head and throw it a far distance.
