Bartolomeo

Bartolomeo the Cannibal is a Super Rookie, the captain of the Barto Club and the captain of the second ship of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. He joined as a gladiator to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi at the Corrida Colosseum, where he met Monkey D. Luffy and pledged his loyalty towards him.

Formerly a mob boss from the East Blue, Bartolomeo witnessed Luffy miraculously escaping the execution Buggy had prepared for him during the events of the Loguetown Arc, a scene that changed Bartolomeo's life and turned him into a major fan of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is an ally of Luffy during the Dressrosa Arc, the beginning of the Zou Arc, the non-canon Silver Mine Arc, and the movie One Piece: Stampede. He is also one of the central characters from The Stories of the Self-Proclaimed Straw Hat Grand Fleet Cover Page Serial.

Appearance

Bartolomeo is a light-skinned, tall and lean yet muscular man. He has light green-colored hair in a wild, Mohawk style and no eyebrows. He has a demonic looking face, sharp fangs, and a ring piercing on his nasal septum. There are two lines tattooed under his right eye that curve towards his ear.

He has a dark tattoo on his chest of a thick ring with an opening on the top, wings on the sides, and long fangs on the bottom. He wears a dark purple coat with a stripe down each sleeve and a plumed collar and cuffs. On the back of it is a face with its head on fire with two crossing sabers just underneath it. He has a light-colored ring-patterned belt with a chain on the left. He has a weapon tucked in the front of his baggy checkered trousers, and has light ruffled dark boots on his feet.

Two years ago, he sported a yellow and red vertically striped coat with tan fur around the neck. He also had brown pants and a black belt. His hair was not as wild, being more slicked back in a pompadour style.

Personality

Bartolomeo can be rather vulgar and laid-back at times, as during the battle royale in B Block, he was lying on the sides watching the battle and then casually urinated off the side on the ring in front of all the spectators. His overall attitude and lack of refinement made him a very unpopular person among the audience, who booed Bartolomeo at every turn. During his formal introduction, Bartolomeo is said to be ranked number one on the "pirate we wish most to disappear" list.
