This is very nice of you ^.^ Glad you enjoyed it.

I see what you mean about the Bakeneko: whereas Bartolomeo's Sabertooth teeth suggested, well, a Sabertooth, his trouser sword (haha) seems to suggest a different fighting style. I imagine that Neko Neko types wouldn't necessarily need swords and that Bartolomeo was carrying the thing around because he loves to be contrary like that. The Bakeneko gives him a reason to have that sword and a lot more reason to feel confidence enough to simply lie down and watch the arena battles as a result of his power than, say, a Sabertooth fruit ;D Certainly power enough to take down an overly hench Vice-Admiral.

Things have been pretty mythical since the new world saga began: Kraken, Dragons, Centaurs, Satyrs, Harpies (which turn into a Yuki-onna), Yetis and now Fairies. So who can say? :3
