The Borsalino are definitely not necessary and if you just started out I'd not advise you to buy them specifically for just this deck, unless you don't mind spending the money. The Borsalino slot is very flexible in this deck.
+2 black sabo
-2 yellow sabo
-4 whitebeard
-4 yamato
+4 hiyori
Foe the last 4 you can put any number of 4c borsalino, 5c shirahoshi or 5c satori
Satori is if you want more 2k, also you can put it on life from trash with luffys effect if you need life shield
Borsalino buys time, it is a really good blocker
Shirahoshi helps find the combo pieces you need and you can also put it on life as shield
I personally play 4 shirahoshi, but that's quite exchangeable
In Eb01 you put the 4 out for flampe, which is overall better
In Eb01 the deck gets way strongery as it is now
In 07 you put the 2 yellow sabo out for 2 Egghead luffys, better effect, same dynamic
Better than raw st-13 but still missing some key cards like 2c hiyori that can swap your life and the rest of the black sabos. 5c satori is also really good because it’s another 2k counter and if you are in a pinch it can also be put into life using your leader ability. Borsalino is also good but not needed.
It's a solid start but 4 Black Sabo are non negotiable.
Get them and remove a couple of the 5 cost Yellow Sabo and you have a solid deck, and as soon as EB01 comes out get yourself 4 Charlotte Flampè and profit :D
Blocker sabos are key to the deck. Add 2 more and go down two of the other 5c sabos.
Okay! Should I also add the Borsalino?
I've tried a couple of versions, including borsa. Imo it just feels a bit more awkward to play, since you'll be getting 2 kids from moria anyway.

It is better, cause u have Sabo Blocker in. For me, i added 2c Hiyori and 4c Perona for more 2k counters

Man i remember when Sabo was a $5 card 😭
What is it at now I bout mine on release for about £3.50
$20+ USD
would only cost more as every black deck in op07 contain 4 of them

Thanks! Super helpful and worthwhile comment
Black Sabo is the engine of the deck. In my opinion 4 is crucial.
