My first post so cut me some slack XD
Bartolomeo said that he and Luffy went way back. I used to think maybe in their childhood but Luffy was pretty secluded from most people and would have recognised Bartolomeo at least when he saw him in the ring whether he was a friend or foe. So Bartolomeo must have been someone who'd seen Luffy, just someone in the background.
Someone on deviant-art (Zom8ieZiLLa) brought to my attention this image from the manga chapter 224.
See him?
He looks a bit similar to Bartolomeo. He has the same hairstyle but a bit shorter and wears the same earings bartolomeo wore in the colosseum.
Yeah, he may be missing the fangs and the clean shave but those he could have gotten over the 3 years time period. Especially since he became a big time rookie 1 year before he current events of the manga.
It was said that after Bellamy's defeat to Luffy that all the new pirates that Bellamy had recruited to join his cause scattered. Bartolomeo could have been part of the Bellamy pirates for a brief time which is why he was in the bar. I'm not sure whether he cared about his Captains defeat or not since he showed no concern about him in the arena. But he was probably around to see this...
And probably this...
Which is why in the colosseum he showed fear and surprise that Luffy was actually there.
A lot of things in this arc have gone back to the skypiea arc and I don't think Oda would have highlighted these characters for nothing, especially the way that he has been foreshadowing things in the manga.. Who knows, I could be completely wrong anyway. Tell me what you think Bartolomeo's connection is to luffy. :yeah:
