Once Baki fights him seriously, he'll just power up to Super Saiyan and kick his ass like he did with every other "Unbeatable threat" since his match with Retsu. Then Pickle will become an un-important character who either disappears from the story forever or becomes completely irrelevant to the story like all the other major characters.
Baki's bout with Olivia was long and still wasn't easy to finish off even with oni no kao. The characters that Baki has beaten before, and even those that don't even have the strength to get to fight him, still remain important characters. To say such things requires ignoring the huge load of focus on other characters done in the second and third Baki manga series. Disappears from the story forever doesn't describe any of the Maximum Tournament top 5 fighters. Hanayama, Jack, Retsu, Doppo, Shibukawa, etc. all still pop up more than once and actually matter in the story. Even Shinogi Kosho pops up again for god's sakes.

My problem with that argument is that not even a year ago Baki was OHKO by Yujiro with one finger. Now he's capable of curb stomping someone who defeated Doppo. The same Doppo that gave Yujiro hell and forced him to use his "ogre plot device" just to win. The same Yujiro who couldn't even dodge Doppo's punches and Ali Jr. Dodge them easily.
You can't seriously think that Yujiro was incapable of dodging rather than just taking it easy? Especially when direct blows to Yujiro's upper body didn't do any damage whatsoever. Yujiro walked out of that without even a single injury while he left Doppo for dead. At least Kaku Kaoh got Yujiro off his feet and bloodied him a little.. Doppo's bout with him was pretty much a game in comparison.

Ali Jr. Also defeated Shibukawa who's skill was above Doppo during the maximum tournament and yet after the passage of a few month's Baki is in a whole different level? He wasn't doing any special training in that time before fighting Ali Jr. and losing to Yujiro. All he did was have sex with kozue and went on dates. So, how could he have gotten so strong?
Baki was in a whole different level before the second manga series even started as comparisons between him and Shibukawa go. Shibukawa already commented that he only lost to Ali Jr. because he wasn't taking Ali Jr seriously. The moment he did fight seriously has him pretty much stomping Ali Jr. with ease.
Baki also has the little matter of the poison cleansing that gave him a boost in capability. You have to ignore the entire Raitei tournament to claim that all he did was go on dates and have sex. Baki himself commented that he was focused on not allowing Ali Jr. to give him any blows while it was explained that Ali Jr. quite simply didn't have the fight to the death mindset that Baki does.

Pickle's gonna get his ass beat by Baki easily.
More than likely not easily. Especially when Baki got stomped, or kicked to be more literal, in their first bout.
