Barrier-Barrier! Homage God Fist Strikes!

While being restrained by Robin, Cavendish struggles to regain control of his body from Hakuba. Gladius attempts to blow up both Robin and Cavendish by rupturing the cliffside they are on. When Bartolomeo tries to stop him, Gladius shoots him with his paralytic-coated needle-like hair, before inflating himself, threatening to injure Robin if he ruptures. Seeing no other option Bartolomeo traps both himself and Gladius in a barrier before stabbing him causing Gladius to explode. Though injured by the explosion, Bartolomeo is able to contain the blast. Galdius, having only been stabbed in the shoulder, survives and ruptures the cliff side, but Cavendish manages to carry Robin to safety using Hakuba's speed while also keeping Hakuba from hurting her. Enraged at being unable to protect Robin, Bartolomeo forms a barrier around his fist and vows to grow stronger as to be someone who can properly help Luffy before defeating Gladius with an homage to Luffy. While Bartolomeo proclaims to never work with someone as troublesome as Cavendish again, Robin arrives at the Flower Hill just in time to protect Rebecca from Diamante's attack.
