Hungry's blood DF sounds like a mix between the power of that guy in the top hat from Black Cat and Shikamaru from Naruto.

I agree with Apoelpaoole. Doesn't the fact that he came this far with "only" a barrier DF say something about how strong he is? Everyone can be kind of awesome with an overpowered DF. (And you can suck hard even with an overpowered DF, as some Logia and Paramecia users taught us.)

On a completely different note, Bartolomeo's DF ability, much like his nickname, is supposed to be a play on words for his taunting attitude. It's pretty much his theme.
