I've always liked that Oda gives the villains their own side stories, which he didn't do for Bellamy as everyone thought he was dead (and, unlike Sabo, nobody cared that much.) That fight would be something, as the shandorians and skypieans didn't get too much of a look in outside of everyone drooling over Enel. A shame really; the reject dial idea was quite cool. But then again, perhaps the opposite happened: Is Bellamy now proficient in the ways of sky island warfare, such as the use Dials and Mantra? (A little far-fetched perhaps -_-)

Either way, there's a story behind his obtaining that pillar...and his new bounty of 195,000,000, just 5,000,000 away from Law's pre-timeskip. Then again, the bounty system is about as trustworthy as Cavendish in a flower shop.

What really bothers me is how Bellamy got to Skypiea. Very tempted to assume he jumped.
