Setting up his hair... *pfffft* I like that.

That is a good question, though. I suppose he did travel to Dressrosa to participate in the tournament. But as far as I understand, the announcement of the Mera Mera no Mi being the price of the tournament has only been made a short while ago. So he either must have been around these parts of the Grand Line or have a way to quickly travel there.

If the latter is the case then this might mean that he is
 * allied with a bigger organization who has the technology to travel this fast through the New World
 * much stronger than his Prince Charming act and low bounty make us believe he is
 * too stupid to die
