Arc-by-arc updates

Rocks-Pirates flashback (Ch. 1156) — first appearance

• Present with the pre-God-Valley Rocks Pirates on Pirate Island (Fullalead) for the crew’s “dreams” argument about the Galleila legend and Harald’s power (p. 17). Name-card: “Pirate BARBELL (catfish fish-man).”

Notes

• Etymology: “Barbell” puns on barbel — the paired whisker-like tactile/taste organs of a catfish (also a fish species) — fitting a catfish fish-man; homophone of the weightlifting ‘barbell.’ Confidence high.
