The journey into the past resonates deeply, with touching moments highlighted in the latest chapter. Readers experience Kuma’s final moments before he falls unconscious forever, providing him with a well-deserved and emotional ending in One Piece.
One Piece Chapter 1102 Concludes Kuma’s Emotional Flashback
In One Piece chapter 1102, Kuma saw Bonney briefly in Sabaody during his time there. However, he couldn’t reunite with her to keep a deal with the World Government, so he watched her from afar. Bonney, known as “Big Eater” Jewelry Bonney, was one of the Eleven Supernovas introduced in the series. Despite not being able to approach her, Kuma smiled at the sight of Bonney.
Later, Vegapunk asked Kuma why he trusted Luffy so much. Kuma explained that, even though he knew Nika’s story might be a myth, he had once told Bonney that the “Sun God” (Luffy) would come to free her and others. After monitoring Luffy’s actions, Kuma believed that Luffy was the one who could change the world.
Unfortunately, Saint Saturn forced Vegapunk to carry out the final phase of Kuma’s surgery, despite Kuma’s hopes for Luffy’s world-changing potential.
Bartholomew Kuma’s Human Life Ended in One Piece
In the chapter, Kuma and Saturn had a deal where Kuma would lose his human consciousness and become a mindless cyborg for the World Government. Vegapunk, Sentomaru, and others were emotional during the procedure. However, Kuma was peaceful and accepted his fate with a smile, sacrificing himself to save Bonney. In a touching moment, Kuma saw his entire life, from childhood to raising Bonney.
After the surgery, Kuma’s memories were stored, but they likely faded when Bonney entered to witness them. Even in his final moment, Kuma’s thoughts were for Bonney. In memory of Ginny, Kuma loved and protected Bonney, giving her the chance to learn about her incredible parents through his memories.
