by

This post contains SPOILERS for the One Piece anime and the manga.

Summary

  • Season 2 of Netflix’s One Piece will introduce new crew members, and that might also include Bartolomeo the Cannibal.
  • The upcoming season might tease the character’s appearance during the Loguetown arc.
  • Netflix’s live-action adaptation could foreshadow Bartolomeo’s presence and reveal him in later seasons.

As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the second season of Netflix’s One Piece! The anticipation is high, with the upcoming episodes set to introduce us to fresh faces among the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy has already assembled the original members of his crew, but it feels incomplete without the Reindeer Doctor and the “Devil Child” archaeologist. Luffy’s not content just with Tony Tony Chopper or Robin; he aims to bring on board several more members from his team and allies throughout their journey.

To date, it has been confirmed that Robin and Chopper will feature in Season 2 of Netflix’s “One Piece”. This eagerly awaited season may hint at one of Luffy’s key allies who is expected to join later in the narrative. Similar to how the anime and manga versions have subtly foreshadowed this character, the live-action adaptation might follow a similar path. Additionally, there are speculations that the creators could provide a sneak peek of Luffy’s most ardent fan during the Loguetown story arc.

Bartolomeo The Cannibal’s Role In One Piece’s Loguetown Arc

The Captain Of The Barto Club Sees Luffy In Loguetown

In the narrative of “One Piece,” the Loguetown arc stands out as a significant chapter for numerous reasons. It offers a visit to the location where Gol D. Roger was executed, and it includes a fleeting skirmish between Luffy and Smoker. Additionally, Buggy nearly succeeds in eliminating Luffy during this storyline, eventually paving the way for a beloved character’s grand unveiling. While some fresh faces emerge directly within Loguetown, there’s one character whose presence is subtly hinted at throughout this arc. That character is Bartolomeo the Cannibal.

As an ardent film aficionado might put it, I once found myself amidst a sea of spectators, watching intently as Luffy, a boy brimming with ambition, declared before all that he would ascend to the throne as the King of Pirates. At that very moment, I, Bartolomeo, was merely a bystander, taking in every word and gesture from the sidelines. Yet, what struck me most was the unwavering resolve etched across Luffy’s face, his fearlessness unfathomable as he stood before death’s door.

But it wasn’t just Luffy’s words that left an indelible mark on me; a bolt of lightning streaked through the sky, miraculously sparing Luffy from certain doom. To me, this celestial display was none other than a divine sign, a beacon guiding Luffy towards his destiny as Pirate King.

Affliations Straw Hat Grand Fleet (Captain)

Starting from that point on, Bartolomeo developed an admiration for Luffy and aspired to become a pirate, dreaming of the day they might cross paths, with Bartolomeo perhaps even meeting the future Pirate King. It’s worth noting that Bartolomeo’s background isn’t unveiled in the anime or manga until the Dressrosa Arc. Intriguingly, Bartolomeo didn’t appear on screen until Dressrosa, but he did confirm his presence at Loguetown when Buggy was preparing to execute Luffy.

Currently, Bartolomeo held a strong fascination for Luffy and the entire Straw Hat Pirates crew. Since their encounter in Loguetown, he had been tracking Luffy’s exploits. Two years later, during the Dressrosa arc, Bartolomeo finally crossed paths with his hero. Not only did Bartolomeo assist Luffy against Donquixote Doflamingo, but he also pledged to sail alongside the Straw Hats, expanding their pirate fleet into the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Among the many allies Luffy accumulates on his voyages, Bartolomeo stands out as one of the most devoted and enthusiastic ones.

Netflix’s One Piece Might Foreshadow Bartolomeo, Just Like The Source Material

The Creators Might Also Give Us A Glimpse Of The Character In Season 2

As a movie enthusiast, let me share my excitement about the upcoming season of Netflix’s One Piece! Unlike the first season, which skipped over Loguetown, the second season promises to delve deep into this intriguing town where Luffy will uncover resonances of Roger’s final words that still resonate.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Buggy, and it seems their wait is about to pay off! The infamous pirate will grace our screens again in season 2, offering us a live-action rendition of the legendary botched execution scene. And for those who know Bartolomeo’s backstory, be prepared to spot the Cannibal lurking among the townsfolk, witnessing all the unfolding events with keen interest.

In much the same way as the original content, the live-action adaptation could conceal Bartolomeo’s presence initially, unveiling the character in later installments for a surprising revelation. This momentous disclosure would come when Bartolomeo appears during the Dressrosa arc and shares his backstory. Contrastingly, in the manga series, Bartolomeo was not introduced until the Loguetown arc had been covered, keeping viewers unaware of such a character’s existence. However, with the live-action adaptation, the storyline is further advanced, and the Netflix writers are aware of Bartolomeo’s importance to Luffy’s journey.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation provides an ideal chance to pay tribute to Bartolomeo by subtly introducing the character to viewers. A quick cameo or background appearance would suffice for dedicated “One Piece” fans to identify Bartolomeo, while not ruining anything for newcomers. Alternatively, the creators could take a daring approach and depict a younger version of the character witnessing Luffy’s failed execution, similar to how Smoker watched Roger’s execution in earlier episodes.

It’s uncertain if the live-action adaptation will follow the same strategy as the anime for the Super Rookie Pirate, or if it has a different plan. No matter how the One Piece Live-Action handles the character, fans are bound to search for Bartolomeo during the thrilling Loguetown scene in season 2.

You can watch Season 1 of One Piece Live-Action exclusively on Netflix.
