Long Summary
Bartolomeo is formally introduced, and it is revealed that he is a cruel pirate with a  150,000,000 bounty that has bombed innocent civilians and grilled pirates on a skewer. Naturally the crowd hates him, and to their derision he responds by throwing a fake bomb at them, causing a panic.

The announcer then announces that there is one more participant in block B, a favorite and sponsore of Doflamingo. Inside the coloseum, as the defeated and injured fighters from block A are taken to care, Luffy is confronted by Bellamy who recognizes him and tells Luffy about his visit to Skypiea, losing his crew in the process but earning a solid gold pillar that he used to re-earn Doflamingo's favour. He leaves to enter the ring with a passing comment that he will never laugh at Luffy again.

The important members of each block are then revealed as Luffy talks to Cavendish, and the battle royale of block B starts with a group of competitors teaming up to take out Bellamy.
