Lafitte, Doc Q, and Van Augur were also original crew members, so why can't one of them be the first mate? Literally your only reason for believing that Burgess is the right hand man is that he has "1st" in his title, but that doesn't automatically make Burgess the right hand man. Oda already told us that in the WB Pirates, division number doesn't determine authority, and the same idea could easily apply to the BB Pirates. Heck, we've even seen Lafitte and Shiryuu talking casually with Burgess and disrespecting him, so it's implied that he doesn't have more authority over them.
1. There can only be one first mate from the original crew members so unless you wanna go argue step by step on why the first five members of a crew should be first mate then be my guess.
2.YES. 1st commander is the right hand man of every pyonkou ship, even in Whitebeard's ship Marco is still the 1st.
3. Last time I checked, this is Blackbeard's ship, not Whitebeards. So if ranking doesn't matter for the lesser ranks doesn't mean the same doesn't apply with other yonkou ship. Unless you want to be stupid to argue that Smoothie is the same power and ranking as Dogtooth?
4. Talking causality with crew members is not only common especially among commanders. This means absolutely nothing.
Good job at completely missing my point in the 2nd quote. If you believe that Burgess is the right hand man, then you're suggesting that Burgess, a pure brawler, will be either Zoro's last or 2nd to last opponent, which is completely ridiculous since Zoro would obviously be fighting swordsmen as his last or 2nd to last opponent in order to prove himself as worthy of being WSS.
Completely missed my point because you clearly didn't read. Dogtooth is the 1st mate of Big mam's crew and he doesn't use a sword, his style is like Luffy a brawler that is well adept with his fist and legs in a fight.
It's stupid to think that every second strongest person will be a sword fighter to fit your status quo. Look at the admirals. Issho is the weakest one yet by your logic he is suppose to match up against Zoro their for he must be the second strongest after the Fleet admiral Sakazuki? You don't know who matches up against who or what will happen. So I'm saying don't speculate strength just because one person uses a sword and another person uses his feet in a fight.
Now drop the senseless theory like I said because nothing you said here is right.
Also, Aokiji is just an ally of BB, not a crew member. And hop off of Riker's ****. You mention him EVERY time we get into an argument.
Kuzan is part of the crew. And the only one her who dickrides riker is you and vander because EVERY single time you say some dumb shit like this, it's always word for word off that kid. Nobody else thinks this but you three. So if you don't want me complaining about you copying his material for all your retorts, then get his nuts out of your mouth. That simple.
