User blog comment:Neowitch/710 - Caesar for next Straw Hat!/@comment-5640399-20130606000313

MZ touched on it, but yeah, when I saw the Barty reaction panel I didn't get a "It's that bastard who..." vibe from it, I think it's more of a "OMG, it's MUGIWARA NO LUFFY!?! OMG, I have to text Jessica and Pauline, they are gonna be soooooo jeal- do you think I could get a picture? OMG!! A PICTURE WITH MUGIWARA NO LUFFY!?!..." kinda thing in my own humble opinion, I reckon he's a Luffy Superfan, the type who buys hair online and keeps it in a shrine, I'll put money on the next scene in the colloseum having Barty licking Luffy's toes. Maybe Barty was talking about Luffy in 709 after he won the Battle Royal and said "The Mera Mera no Mi will belong to that person!"
