As one of the 108 stars...and not one of the more famous ones...and appearing in the latest crew chronologically...ok, so none of these factors matter at all, so lets forget we even started with that. So what does matter is that Water Rune he was wise to come with, allowing him loads of healing to keep himself afloat in a slugfest with the one dimensional opponent. Ok, sure, Avril can delay hits turns with her one niche, but then, Beecham isn't exactly fearing her damage, and furthermore, his Parry skill will allow him to evade a few of her attacks, allowing him to get a few more in. An easy match for the Karayan.
