Who was it that said Bartolomeo was a troll? Because I definitly agree with that. Everything about the guy, from personality to powers, is just plain trollish. Hell, his little comment about crossing fingers means he's safe just plain sealed it.

That said, I am interested in a possible fight between him and Luffy. Barty's barrier power should not be able to hurt Luffy as he shouldn't be able to infuse it with Haki (unless Oda changes the rules) nor should he be able to make any cutting attacks with it. Luffy meanwhile won't be able to harm him normally either as all of his attacks will hit the barrier, but unlike Hack, this shouldn't hurt him due to being rubber. I get the feeling their fight would be Barty pushing Luffy while Luffy throws Barty.
