^Well, I think many of us already figured that Ricky was quite the enigma. Whether or not he's the gladiator who's depicted on that statue is still anyone's guess naturally, but there certainly are clues that seem to point towards that direction. But yes, I most definitely agree that Ricky is going to be quite an important character in this arc.....

Yes, that is correct.

On another note, now that we've learned of the existence of a dwarf princess, I've been wondering: Will Oda eventually introduce us to more monarchs from different races? I mean, putting aside all the human royalty like Vivi/Wapol/world nobles/etc., we've already seen the merfolk's royal family (Shirahoshi, Neptune, Otohime, three princes), and now this arc has a dwarf princess (Manshelly). So maybe we'll see monarchs from the other races, as well? Personally, I am rather interested in checking out the royals from the giant or minkmen races.....
