Theory Could Rocks be posing as Bartolomeo?

#1
Quick thought, the barrier fruit and the transformation fruit of Mr2 were shown in Wano in the flashbacks, the same barrier fruit was able to effortlessly block an attack from Oden, who’ll later on, go on to scar Kaidou. With Kaidou’s defeat and flashback, we can also see that the Kurozumi hag, actually has more importance than what we previously assumed, you could say she was the greater scope villain of Wano, unless, she’s still alive.
There’s some plot things that don’t add up regarding those two fruits, and their owners, why was Oden blocked so easily by a fruit of a (supposedly) fodder who should be quickly defeated by haki? Oda had Bartolomeo conquer some red hair’s territories under the “name” of Luffy, yet Luffy adores Shanks, and doesn’t want to stumble his toes, unless were it necessary for him to become Pirate King, what’s the consequences of Bartolomeo basically igniting a fight between those two powerhouses? Did he plan for it, so that he would weaken the competition himself? It’s pretty strange having this guy, older than Luffy according to the databooks, consider him as his saviour, not to mention he was described as being ruthless, not a very Luffy-esque trait, so huh? And why is Mr 2 still alive? Of course, this is One Piece, but Magellan had no reason not to kill Mr2 after everything he has done, unless he is actually the old hag, posing as Mr2, a legendary member of Rocks with important knowledge like Doffy or other level 6 characters and she revelation that as her “final words”, thinking about it, “Mr2” at the start was with Crocodile in order to get their hands on an ancient weapon, then tried to put Luffy’s over in the One Piece world, so he would create chaos, and divert the attention of Marines and Yonkous, I mean, Crocodile wasn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but his organization and goal were very impressive all things considered.
Perhaps the old hag awakened her fruit, and with it, she could change the identity of not only herself, but also Rocks, the lurking legend, and with Big Mom and Kaidou defeated, he can make his move, giving the “unexpected” ending Wano is supposed to have, according to the anime team.

It does seem stupid, but hey, we got God Nika.
Bartolomeo, when angered, was also able to quickly defeat a Vice Admiral, perhaps a crewmate injured was enough for him to drop the facade, that’s not a feat an unimportant weakling should be able to do, and his whole obsession with Luffy is strange, unless he reminded him of his rival Roger in Logue Town

The part with Bartolomeo is really interesting, but you lost me at the Mr. 2 section. I think it's pretty clear the Hag is dead, too. Why would Kaido lie about killing her? Kaido does not seem like the kind of dude to lie about murdering people

BUMP. Apparently we got Barto stuff earlier than I expected.
I’m backing all my money in this theory, if it’s wrong, and Barto is just a worthless fodder, oh well, I’ll catch that elusive L. But I’m sure there is more to Barto than meets the eyes, and this ties Rocks so nicely into the current plot, and would even give the WG a reason to spare a famous Rocks associate, they’re kinda strange and prefer having the worst criminals locked up, instead of just killing them :josad: and as a bonus, I’ll throw this too, the pirate Shanks wanted to inform the WG, the Lurking Legend, is, unfortunately not Luffy, but Rocks, aka N. 1 Luffy “fan”

nice theory, even if it was not a 100% true, but there is something strange with that old hag, & also with bartolomeo, I would say that this theory is very close to the truth
