Jesus Burgess is one of the strongest members of the Blackbeard Pirates. He was entrusted by Teach to serve as Captain of Titanic 1. He often receives the spotlight in the story, for example when he fought for the Mera Mera no Mi at the Corrida Colosseum.
In this article, we would like to discuss all about Jesus Burgess' powers in One Piece. Curious? Check out the full review below!
Extraordinary Physical Strength
One of Burgess's main abilities is his above-average physical strength. He uses a fighting style similar to a wrestler. He is capable of employing signature wrestling techniques, such as elbow strikes and lariats.
In his fight against Ace, Burgess was able to lift a building and throw it at Ace without any difficulty. He was also able to defeat the fighters in Block A of the Colosseum in a short time.
Furthermore, Burgess displays incredible physical endurance. For example, he was able to survive Sabo's Hiken attack, which left him burned and severely injured.
Haki
Burgess has been confirmed to possess two types of Haki: Busoshoku Haki and Kenbunshoku Haki. However, Burgess appears to be more dominant in Busoshoku Haki, a technique he frequently displays during his battles.
For example, Burgess enhanced his attacks with Busoshoku Haki against Sabo in the final round of the Colosseum Battle. However, his Haki was weaker than Sabo's, causing his elbow armor to crack.
Hado Elbow
Hado Elbow is Burgess' signature move, which relies on the power of his elbow. When used, he can inflict significant damage on enemies and generate powerful shockwaves.
Burgess first demonstrated it when he attacked Fighting Fish in the final round of the Colosseum Battle. The attack immediately shocked the audience.
Galleon Lariat
Besides Hado Elbow, Burgess possesses another move called Galleon Lariat. He first demonstrated this technique against Sabo.
When using this technique, Burgess would swing his arm with full force. Burgess' attack could generate a shockwave powerful enough to split a building in half.
Riki Riki no Mi
Although he initially failed to obtain the Mera Mera no Mi and the Gomu Gomu no Mi, Burgess obtained a new devil fruit that perfectly suited his fighting style. The devil fruit Burgess ate was the Riki Riki no Mi.
This devil fruit granted Burgess superhuman physical strength beyond comprehension. After consuming it, he was able to lift a mountain and throw it with ease. This power shocked Law and his crew beyond belief.
