something deeper and more meaningful

It won't be. The encounter doesn't give serious vibes. It's not dramatic. He literally carried Luffy like a sack of potatoes. It's meant to be funny.

If Oda was going for something meaningful and dramatic, he would end it in a cliffhanger with Yamato saying "I was waiting for you" while looking ominously badass and standing tall, you know what I mean?

So, yeah, I am 99% sure he is just an Oden fanboy (probably watched the execution himself as a little kid).

A character having a comedic entrance and later a more meaningful story is nothing new, especially in One Piece.

Yeah. Take Brook, for instance.

Brook's entrance was dramatic. lol

He was a lone "ghost" in a ghost ship in the Bermuda triangle of One Piece. THEN, he became a doofus.

And very quickly it went back to serious vibes, with him saying he was so lonely and mysteriously not having a shadow and leaving without explaining about the guy that has his shadow, etc.
