"Oi, Barto, your video went viral!"
Cheers erupted from the various members of the Barto Club. Men poured huge mugs of booze, screaming things about "Luffy-senpai will be so proud!" and "are we real pirates now?!" Bartolomeo couldn't help but grin when he heard the news, but denied the beer he was offered.
He, unlike the others, at least attempted to keep his head. Casually, he strode over to his men, some of whom were fighting over a look at the screen of the Den Den Computer. With a nod at the others over his shoulder, Bartolomeo pushed all the squabbling pirates aside and planted himself firmly in front of the computer.
Carefully, he scrolled down below the video on BlueTube and read the comments.
~flightless-bird: How vulgar! Pirates are disgusting; look at them all. The ultimate insult would be for one of them to have a beautiful sword...
never-disturb-a-sleeping-shichibukai: Why are these flies on the front page of the newspaper again?
BoaxConstrictor: Men are all filthy animals that don't deserve to live, and this proves it. (But there is always that one exception... kyaaaa! *w*)
x-rex-x: This actually makes me want to rejoin the Marines, and I defected to be a pirate.
cigarsx2: ( x-rex-x) If I ran the world, I'd kill you before you ever ran into another Marine.
x-rex-x: ( cigarsx2) Glad to know someone still loves me.
Coby: 8( This scares me.
hanahana: Fufufufufu. I'm eager to learn more about this "Barto Club".
AdmiralBuddha: This atrocity shall not go unpunished, I assure you. adskja;fdskl;pal/
AdmiralBuddha: ( AdmiralBuddha) Er, ignore that last sentence. That was my goat.
donust&ricecrakcers: ( AdmiralBuddha) BWAHAHAHAHA dont you know there is an "edit post" button? bwahahahahahahahaha
springpoweredhyenaman: heeeeheheheheeeehehe look at these bastards go
thePUPPETMASTER: fuffuffuffuffuf what's this guy's name again?
..Prince_Of_Pirates..: Another Super Rookie that gets more attention than me...! What does HE have that I don't?! An ugly face? A NOSE RING? I am BEAUTIFUL! I am the Pirate Prince! Cav
..Prince_Of_Pirates..: ( ..Prince_Of_Pirates..) Wait there's a character post limit? ANOTHER THING TO ADD TO MY HATE LIST.
Mad_Hatter: And my brother inspired this guy to be a pirate... *sighs*
ryuuman: ( Mad_Hatter) Wait... what?
Mad_Hatter: ( ryuuman) Uh.
redlegchef: Too many traumatic memories on my end. Please... somebody kick these guys in the balls for me.
bartoclub: ( redlegchef) :D
Bartolomeo stopped reading the comments after typing a reply to "redlegchef". This was it- it was clear that people were upset, traumatized, and scared of or by his video (at least in most cases- he would like to forget "springpoweredhyenaman" and "hanahana").
Bartolomeo expected a good amount of attention from this little stunt. Perhaps some re-enactments of the non-lethal variety, and some coverage from just about every magazine and newspaper on the planet. He as a person wasn't well-known, but his actions surely were if every citizen was fearful if he'd visit them, despite living far from wherever he was.
He figured some people thought him sick or twisted to find mirth in people's rage and disgust, but it was legitimately funny. Their anger was always so over-the-top that whenever he found a good hate-filled comment he'd read it aloud.
Nevertheless, Bartolomeo had achieved his goal, even if it meant (hilarious) death threats from random dudes whose names sound like toilet paper.
He closed his eyes in triumph. Just another day as a professional BlueTube troll.
Hello again. ^_^ I have some 'splaining to do.
This was inspired by a quote in episode 635 when Bartolomeo was being introduced to the Colosseum. Specifically, "He roasted some pirates on a skewer and shared the video". When I first heard it I couldn't stop laughing because holy crap Bartolomeo's video went viral. Basically, this is set in a slightly modernized normal OP world (*cough* Den Den Computer *cough*). BlueTube is a total parody of that other tube and I don't regret it one bit.
Soo... yeah. In order of appearance, Tashigi, Mihawk, Boa, X Drake, Smoker, Coby, Robin, Sengoku, Garp (who is apparenly not affected by the video), Bellamy, Doflamingo, Cavendish, Sabo, Dragon, Zeff, and Barto Club. With a cameo for Wiper at the end. When I say it went viral I mean it went viral.
Other than that there is no 'splaining left to do. So I hope you've enjoyed, and remember to tell me what you thought about it!
