Jesus Burgess

Jesus Burgess (ジーザス･バージェス, Jīzasu Bājesu), nicknamed "The Champion", claims himself a champion because he stands on top of buildings and challenges random people to fights. He is the Helmsman of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Appearance
He appears to be based off of Mexican wrestlers, as both his name and face mask are Spanish in origin. Jesus 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 Jesus obtained this belt from his mastery in wrestling or if its just there for his wrestler appearance look.

Personality
Burgess appears to be level headed or at least a bit sane. He has a serious nature, after scolding Blackbeard for laughing when they lost the Straw Hat Pirates. He seems to be overconfident, as he climbed buildings and challenged random people in Jaya, proclaiming himself as the "Champion". Sometimes he says "WIIIIHAHAHAH!" when talking to someone in his crew or using it in a sentence, possibly a signature laughter.

Abilities and Powers
Burgess possesses incredible physical strength. He defeated every challenger he fought in Mock Town and threw an entire hotel at Ace across a great distance while jumping high to reach his target.

Mock Town
He was first seen bending over a defeated man complaining about his strength. Another man then noted it and asked if he knew that he had defeated a man from Roshio's crew. Later, after Luffy had taken one of Doc Q's apples, he was seen standing on top of a building yelling out for decent challenge.

After Bellamy was defeated by Luffy he met up with his crew and asked about Lafitte and why he wasn't there. When their raft was destroyed by the Knock Up Stream he complained about his captain's easy going attitude towards their failure.

Banaro Island
After Ace and Van Auger attacked one another he was quick to throw a building at Ace that was easily destroyed. Later on he alongside the other crew members witnessed the fight between Blackbeard and Ace, but not before moving to a much safer location, where he and Auger had to comically pull the very sick Doc Q, along with his horse

Impel Down
Burgess has recently been seen at Impel Down unexpectedly with the rest of the Blackbeard pirates. He is the only person on the crew besides Blackbeard to speak during the Impel Down visit and says how much of a gloomy place Impel Down is. He also said that to Luffy that Ace was quite a fighter.

After exchanging some words with Impel Down's mass breakout army, Burgess and the rest of the crew are caught and poisoned by Magellan's Hydra technique. Later, the whole crew is saved by an antidote from former Chief Guard Shiryuu, who accepts Blackbeard's offer and joins their crew.

Translation and Dub Issues
Its presumed the renaming "G. Zass" is due to the religious link from the name "Jesus", similar to the renaming of "Mr. Satan" from Dragon Ball Z to "Hercule".
