Anyone else really wanna find out what's up with Bartolomeo?

At first glance, I could speculate about his Devil Fruit to be a Zoan. Also, the whole thing about his name being "The Cannibal". But now... when Hack tried to catch him off guard. I don't know what that was. It could've been Haki for all I know. This is the New World after all, can't rule out that he knows Haki, even if he does have a pretty average bounty for a Rookie.

Oh, the score now is:

Bartolomeo (Pirate, $150,000,000)
Bellamy (Pirate, $195,000,000)
Blue Gilly (Martial Artist)
Elizabello II (King of Prodence) + Dagama (Tactician of Prodence)
Hack (Fishman)
Ricky (Gladiator)

Still a few more to go.

And Cavendish and Don Chinjao facing off was pretty sweet. 500,000,000 bounty. Holy balls.

That was by far the most interesting part of the chaapter. I had some speculations but most were disproven. The best guess i have is the mirror mirror fruit in which all physical attacks are reflected back to the user? The problem with that is that it is too similar to kuma's ability so it probably isn't it. In the end the most likely is probably still haki. There might also be a reason he provokes people so much. This is all just a guess but i think he's basically like siegfried from hsdk. Aka he's a counter-man. He can't fight himself but his defense is top notch and basically kills everyone when they attack him. But i don't know what kind of fruit that would be...

The luffy vs cavendish vs don chijiao was somewhat interesting. He was incredibly weak for a >500,000,000 beli bounty though...from the looks of it, he probably has haki in his head, and possibly no devil fruit. Cavendish was able to stop a headbutt that supposedly broke a frozen continent so he isnt to be underestimated with either.

My guess is still that the last one's left are bartolmew, bellamy, and king. King will use his punch against bartolmew and just like with hack, he will end up losing because of it. So the final fight will be between bellamy and bartolmew which will be easily won by bartolmew.

My opinion for breakdown of chapters...
Group b fight: 2 more chapters(king's punch will probably take a whole chapter and bellamy vs bartolmew will take a chapter)
Group c fight: 5 chapters total (luffy beats don chijiao early on, has someone else come out thats better)
Group d fight: 1 chapter (then a brief recap of how rebecca won against cavendish)

Wow, can't believe I didn't think of that.

It actually makes sense. He provokes people to get them to attack him, and the attack is instantly countered/reflected. It's so simple, and it's right up Oda's ally. Why else would he drop his guard to take a leak? haha.

That could explain why he was able to take out a Vice-Admiral with ease.

He seems so confident, but he doesn't attack anyone? Because he can't. He needs them to attack him.

Also, putting King Elizabello with that destructive punch in there just to have it reflect back at him is the obvious set up.

Nice thinking, lol, I don't know why I wasn't more open to that idea. Maybe I was hoping it was a lot more complicated.
