Jesus Burgess, nicknamed "Champion", is the helmsman and captain of the First Ship of the Blackbeard Pirates.
Due to his actions, he is a major antagonist in the Marineford Arc, and the tertiary antagonist of the Dressrosa Arc.
Burgess possesses incredible physical strength, showcased when he ripped an entire hotel off its foundation and threw it at Ace across a great distance while jumping high to reach his target. He possesses enormous leg strength, as he jumped down from the Dressrosa palace to the second level without a scratch. He managed to defeat every challenger he fought in Mock Town with ease and won the A Block of the Corrida Colosseum battle royale within seconds all without a single injury. After the time-skip, he is the Captain of the First Ship of the Blackbeard Pirates. He possesses incredible endurance, as seen (pre time-skip) when he took a direct hit from a Gura Gura no Mi strike from the former Yonko Edward Newgate, as well as Fleet Admiral Sengoku's shockwave in his Buddha form without suffering much damage.
Despite his large figure, Burgess has shown himself to be remarkably fast, as he was able to make it to Luffy's location in a very short amount of time. Based off of his attempt on Luffy's life for the Gomu Gomu no Mi and his conversation with Sabo, he is also capable of stealing Devil Fruit abilities from others. The procedure for this is still unknown. After the time-skip, at the Corrida Colosseum just his mere presence was enough to terrify all the nearby gladiators. He is also, according to Gatz, part of a group of Ten Titanic Captains that personally guard the Yonko, Blackbeard. Burgess demonstrated the use of Busoshoku Haki when he hardened his elbow armor in an attempt to resist Sabo's attack in the Corrida Colosseum final round. However, his Haki was not strong enough to counter Sabo's own Busoshoku Haki imbued attack, which was able to shatter his armor.

It is impressive how Burgess possesses such a combination of physical strength and endurance.
