## One Piece Chapter 706, pages 2-3: I Won't Mock You - Chapter: 706 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Bartolomeo ### Summary Page 2: Bartolomeo immediately proves worthy of his reputation. He screams, "The pirate, Bartolo-meo!!! I'm sending ya all to hell!!" and the crowd answers with hatred: "Get outta here!!" and "How about you go to hell instead!!" Rather than flinch, Bartolomeo turns the hostility into performance. With a filthy grin and a mocking gesture, he faces the stands, leaving spectators stunned. Someone demands, "What do you think you're doing!!" Another asks, "Eh...!? Did he really...!?" Bartolomeo only laughs, "Hehhehahaha," as if the entire Colosseum exists to be provoked. The panel does not show him making allies or even trying to win approval; it shows him deliberately making every onlooker despise him more. Page 3: The stands descend into panic and disgust. People scream, "It's a bomb!!" and "Outta the way you old coot!!" while someone shouts, "It's a full house! There's nowhere to run!!" Another voice tries to exploit the panic: "Somebody save me! I've got plenty of money if you do!" The object turns out to be only a ball rolling down the steps, but the audience is already furious. A shocked witness says, "How shameless..." The anger swells into a massive "Boooooooooo!!!" Bartolomeo stands below, unimpressed, while someone admits, "Impressive... you truly are hated, brat." His answer is contempt: "No need to be liked by a bunch of shitheads." The page makes his role clear: Bartolomeo fights the crowd before he fights the fighters.
