After the last few chapters I would say that I'm expecting a gap between the top contestants of the Colosseum. I'm expecting Burgess on Luffy's level and Cavendish (a tier behind) on Bartolomeo's level. I wouldn't say that he seems to be weak afterall, but not a threat for Luffy. Of course all this power drooling is just baseless speculation, but I can't keep myself from thinking like that in One Piece.

As for Rebecca, I really need nothing else to support an opinion for her role in this arc. She is that allied, weak character we help every now and then in the arcs. We are gonna learn her story, we are gonna admire her boobs, we are gonna see StrawHats on her side, we are gonna realize how pathetic she is to protect herself and we are gonna save her ass. She is Dressrosa's Vivi.

Of course this is my view of arc development and I know that we don't have enough clues at the moment to judge it with safety, of course and I'm not expecting someone to beat Luffy to respect his strength... but

...what would be the meaning of these thoughts if they were proven by straight facts? The only moment we can open a discussion about it is now. Later, Oda gonna tell you if you are right or wrong. This guy is ruining all the fun I tell you!
