This chapter was really great, imho.
The way all the different storylines, like DC being so greatful, Barto revealing himself as a freaky fanboy and Cabbage still hating Luffy for his own stupid reasons, are resulting in chaos, almost reminded me of the way Shakespeare put his dramas together. I had to laugh so much while reading it. Poor Luffy had to flee.
Maybe Luffy will get Cabbage to his side, like he did with DC.
I don`t think it is as weird for Barto to be such a nerdy fan, and acting the way he does. There were already hints in the chapter before, like there was also this one scene, where he says, "the fruit will belong to this person…". (If someone else already quoted this out, I apologise, coz I was just a bit too lazy to read all of the 49 forum pages regarding to this chapter)
After rereading the chapters of this arc it felt like Bartolomeo was trying to restrain himself, or holding back his "fanboyism", especially while talking to Cavety Cabbage. I like him being so nerdy, I think most of us understand him, being One Piece fans ourselves.
As for Rebecca, well, she seems to have a bitter past, yes, but I thought it very stupid of her, to attack Luffy. We will see, what 721 will bring, maybe I`m going to like her regardless of what she has done, depending on her backstory.
@Hachibukai:
Lol at people saying Barto's acting gay just because he become red and embarassed, they forget the panel which he says "He's gonna be the pirate-king" with conviction, Zoro vs Kuma style, that was very cool too, doesn't act gayish at all.
Yup, I've been thinking so too. I think Bartolomeos' fanboy love is different from romatinc love, or whatsoever.
As for the word "gay". The way some people use it, is something I really don't like. As if it was something bad…:getlost:
