Barto Club

The Barto Club are the Second Division of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, a crew commanded by Bartolomeo.

About
The crew's captain, Bartolomeo, was a famous rookie roughly one year after the Battle of Marineford, having started his journey from East Blue, and the crew eventually entered the New World. As far as Orlumbus mentioned, they are a crew of at least 56 members. They all seem to be huge fans of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Jolly Roger
The crew's flag consists of a red skull with green, spiky hair on its top, similar to Bartolomeo's own hair, and crossed spikes on its bottom.

Crew Strength
It seems to be a powerful group, as it managed to reach the New World all the way from East Blue, which was generally regarded as the weakest of the four seas. Bartolomeo has a high bounty on his head, giving him the status of a super rookie.

Past
The captain of the crew, Bartolomeo, first set sail after seeing Luffy's participation at the Battle of Marineford. He became a very promising rookie, earning his fame around one year after the war.

Dressrosa Arc
Bartolomeo and Gambia compete at the Corrida Colosseum, attempting to win the Mera Mera no Mi as a prize in order to give it to Luffy, Bartolomeo's idol. Gambia was defeated by Vice Admiral Maynard prior to Block B's match.

Later, just before Block B began, the vice admiral was defeated by Bartolomeo and left inside the garbage room.

When the fight for Block B started, Bartolomeo was teasing the crowd and sitting lazily watching the other contestants fight. When the fight was about to be concluded, he used his Devil Fruit ability to protect himself from king Elizabello II's punch, and then once more to defeat the king, thus winning the fight in Block B.

Ship
The Barto Club’s ship has dark crimson sails and various cannons on its sides. Two variations of the Jolly Roger can be seen, one in the main sail (in which the skull is white) and the other one in the crow’s nest flag (in which the skull is red).

Trivia

 * In the original Shonen Jump version of Chapter 705, Gambia's infobox stated that he was a staff officer of the "Bartolomeo Pirates" (バルトロメオ海賊団). In Volume 71, this was corrected to match Bartolomeo's infobox in Chapter 706, which stated that the crew's name was the Barto Club.
