to kill him one day his father came up to tell him his mother had passed away as Kuma was crying he questioned if death was better than this his father would tell him about the sun god NAA a folklore that had been passed down through generations of Buccaneers as he is imitating the drums of Liberation he gets shot by a Celestial Dragon a few years later the world Nobles held a hunting competition this tournament took place once every 3 years they find countries that have no affiliations with the world government and Hunt their rulers and civilians like Rabbids they also r round them up with their slaves and criminals the winners get prizes and this time they chose God Valley as Kuma tried to escape the island the other slaves of his group caught him in fear of being killed they started beating him dragging his unconscious body back to the hunting grounds eventually as he was being dragged around he met Emporio ivankov and jinny who had previously heard about him since he was a Buccaneer before the hunting began they gave the people an hour to run and hide the Navy headquarters called on GARP for reinforcement while he was on vacation although he wasn't interested in protecting the celestial dragons he changed his mind because Roger was making his move Ivanov explains to the others that none of them would survive even after the Hunt is over the total number of survivors of these games is zero the Nobles only lie because giving them hope makes it fun so Guinea and ionov came up with the plan to escape using the powerful devil fruit prizes of the tournament jinny used her wiretapping skills to leak information out to the public hoping they would get decoys to come for the prizes at the center of the island when Kuma offered to be a decoy they refused to let let him sacrifice himself for the plan and the plan worked perfectly because the Rocks Pirates showed up on the island and were eager to get those prizes while they took out the Marine barricade on the shore the Roger pirat showed up to join the battle and so did the holy Knights and the reinforcements that came with GARP this was the perfect recipe for chaos and they used this golden

they managed to get just one Survivor they have won but St Saturn appears he tells Kuma history has chosen his fate his only option is death or slavery Kuma says it doesn't make sense how they are born into nobility if he had power he would use it to help as many people as possible just like na Saturn says that's why they should vanish this day would be known as the god Valley incident Kuma

Kuma absorbs their pain from the beating they become a group of friends one night as they were eating Jenny noticed she was full for once that's when she looked at Kuma and they both started crying tears of relief and happiness at 17 years old Kuma was a pastor just like his father dedicating his Sundays to the elderly population of a nearby Village he used his unique devil fruit abilities allowing him to take in the chronic pain of others without charging them a single dime when they asked Kuma to extend the hours and days Jenny was not happy about it because she knew exactly what that meant the kingdom was poor and the ruler king beckyy would throw them in jail where they may starve to death if they couldn't pay the Heavenly tribute tax by the Celestial Dragon dragons when the elders all left Kuma would go into the room and take in all of their pain so it doesn't return to their bodies by his side was Jenny she was worried because Kuma did this every week and she would

the process they recruited Kuma and guinea they became known as the Revolutionary Army their strategy at the time was to lend support to people who wish to overthrow their rulers they would enlist people who were willing to fight and teach them how to use weapons this is when Kuma found out Dragon used to be in the Navy he says he didn't find any justice there with the passing years as a revolutionary Kuma would come back often to check on everyone 8 years later jinny was a captain in the Revolutionary army forces she was supposed to meet Kuma's group The Next Day dragon got word that

eliminate the dead weight citizens by burning their homes enraged by B's ruthless actions Kuma took matters into his own hands he single-handedly charged toward sorb Royal Palace in a decisive move Kuma destroyed the palace along with bori and his forces this daring act became known as sb's 1man Revolution a landmark event in the Island's history with the tyranny of bori ended the Grateful citizens of sorbet called upon Kuma to lead them as their new king Kuma accepted this responsibility but with no personal ambition to rule he entrusted all political Affairs to his adviser Bulldog who was B's predecessor in a turn of events Bonnie reappeared in the church as an adult stunning Kuma and the onlookers with her sudden transformation she ate the age age devil fruit while everyone was still processing Bonnie's unexpected appearance Bulldog arrived with his mother he brought alarming news bori might be plotting a return supported by a smear campaign against Kuma orchestrated by the world government faced with the threat of B's Resurgence and the negative propaganda Kuma made a difficult decision to protect sorbet and prevent B's return he chose to resign as king Kuma entrusted the care of Bonnie and the kingdom to Bull doog taking to the Sea alone and leaving his past behind as Kuma ventured into the open Waters he was confronted by a marine Fleet commanded by none other than bori undeterred Kuma engaged and single-handedly sank the entire fleet this bold act against the Marines marked a pivotal moment for Kuma from that day forward he was labeled a wanted pirate he traversed the world from the Torino Kingdom to aeria and the bo archipelago in a Relentless quest to find a cure for Bonnie's disease bounty hunters attracted by his growing notor variety constantly pursued him years into his journey Kuma's path led him back to the Revolutionary Army aboard their ship the wind Grandma he finds out Dragon would not replace the position once held by jinny in her honor in a crucial turn of events Dragon tipped him off about Dr Vega Punk the genius scientist and his current location post an incident at Punk Hazard Dragon believed the timing was opportune for Kuma to meet Vega Punk given the reduced security with New Hope ignited Kuma prepared to embark on yet another Journey this time to meet Dr Vega punk in his Relentless pursuit of a cure for Bonnie's condition in a pivotal meeting Vega Punk confirmed the possibility of treating Bonnie's condition with a Cutting Edge stem cell treatment but Vega Punk's interest in Kuma extended beyond the medical a simple blood test revealed Kuma's extraordinary Heritage sparking the scientists curiosity and ambition Dr Vega Punk fascinated by the Buccaneers genes disclosed his ambitious plan to create clone soldiers he envisioned using Kuma's unique biological makeup as the foundation for this project struck by by a desperate need to save Bonnie Kuma agreed to Vega Punk's proposal in exchange for the treatment he would provide enough blood samples for Vega Punk to realize his cloning goal this agreement marked the beginning of the pacifista project named after Kuma's self-proclaimed identity as a pacifist unknown tokuma and Vega Punk their crucial conversation was being monitored by St Saturn from the five Elders he saw an opportunity but also a risk acting on this Eaves dropped information Saturn dispatched kizaru to Egghead Island intending to intervene in the unfolding situation Saturn imposed three conditions before curing Bonnie Kuma must become one of the seven Warlords of the sea undergo transformation into a cyborg and have his personality and free will completely erased furthermore Kuma would be prohibited from meeting Bonnie after her recovery she would remain under the world government's supervision until Kuma's transformation was complete despite Vega Punk's objections Kuma consented to these harsh terms driven by the sole desire to save his daughter he only requested that Bonnie be returned to sorbet following her surgery for the next 6 months Kuma and Bonnie shared time at Egghead with Kuma pretending to be ill and undergoing examinations it was a Bittersweet period marked by the looming reality of their separation during this time he formed unlikely friendships with camaru and kizaru even doing the sun god naika dance creating a unique Bond under the extraordinary circumstances as Kuma cherishes his final moments with Bonnie he faces the inevitable transformation that awaits him after the successful completion of Bonnie's stem cell treatment Kuma faced the emotional task of escorting his daughter back to her Homeland a journey marked by both relief and impending separation back home he entrusted Bonnie to the care of Queen Connie and Alpha a cp8 member tasked with ensuring her safety in a Bittersweet farewell Kuma expressed his gratitude to Bonnie thanking her for her existence and promising to stay connected through letters yet unbeknownst to Bonnie this goodbye carried a deeper more painful significance fulfilling his part of the agreement with the world government Kuma then assumed the role of a warlord of the sea this news reverberated throughout the world he was still known as a tyrant from the smear campaign but this transition marked the beginning of his transformation allowing Dr Vega Punk to commence the cloning and Cyborg modifications it was around this time in one of Vega Punk's experiments he asked Kuma to store some of his memories for research purposes he showed deep reluctance saying it was too personal but Vega Punk assured him he'd keep them safe these memories were then securely stored within the high security laboratory some time past enuma was Now 44 years old following his duties as a warlord he was in Goa Kingdom he found Luffy training in the forest Luffy was working on a finishing move the same one he used on arlong a year later when he set sail as a pirate just as new orders from the world government rang Kuma discreetly vanished from the island right before Luffy had noticed leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions Kuma embarked on a journey across numerous Islands in each place he penned letters to Bonnie sharing his experiences and observations though unbeknownst to him these letters never reached her Alpha the cp8 agent was intercepting his heartfelt messages before they could reach Bonnie ensuring that she remained unaware of her father's continued affection and efforts to connect with her the elders also decided it would be beneficial to hide Bonnie's powers from the cp8 agents back at Egghead Kuma entered the final stages of his transformation into a cyborg this intricate process explained by Dr Vega Punk and Stussy would culminate in the loss of his Free Will within a year confronted with the reality of his dwindling autonomy Kuma decides to take every moment he can to write Bonnie a lifetime's worth of letters pouring his thoughts onto paper the transformation was methodical each part of his body was being modified in turn his head the repository of his memories and identity was deliberately preserved Until the End even as he underwent this transformation Kuma balanced his role as a warlord with supporting the Revolutionary Army anytime they needed help his involvement was discret avoiding any form of interaction with his former comrades back at the church in sorbet they found out that Alpha was a a government agent spying on them so they devised a plan to get Bonnie to escape and find Kuma before they could all set out to the Sea Alpha came running to prevent the Escape that's when Bonnie used her powers to imitate NAA and defeat the agent after that Kuma appears in the story's timeline in Gia Arc where he attends a meeting with the Warlords about crocodiles defeat later on he was tasked by the world government to deliver a crucial message to gecko Moria he set foot on the ominous island of Thriller bark his mission was to inform Moria of crocodile's replacement and defeat upon his arrival Kuma inquired about Maria's whereabouts news of Kuma's presence quickly reached perona despite his formidable reputation she was initially more annoyed than afraid and resolved to confront the warlord herself in a bold move perona challenged Kuma intent on capturing his shadow he was unfazed and asked her where she wished to go before making her vanish with a mere touch the zombies witnessing perona's sudden departure attempted to attack Kuma but were quickly overwhelmed by his imposing presence retreating in fear in a brief and unexpected encounter Kuma questioned Nami about Luffy specifically asking if he had an older brother her answer seemed to satisfy his curiosity with nami's response in mind he teleported away from Thriller bark continuing his search for Moria Kuma eventually located Moria within the Thriller Bark's mansion in their meeting Kuma quickly turned to matters of pressing concern he relayed to Moria the significant news Blackbeard had been chosen as crocodile's replacement in the ranks of the seven Warlords despite the Gap being filled Kuma expressed a sense of unease about the new Arrangement he then warned Moria about the straw hat Pirates likely to be in the vicinity soon he highlighted the world government's heightened alertness following the straw hats audacious assault on en's Lobby the suggestion that the world government feared Moria might be defeated by the straw hats ignited Mora's Fury Kuma perceiving the tension offered his assistance in dealing with them in a display of Pride and confidence Moria refused his offer he insisted that Kuma merely observe as he single-handedly defeated the straw hat crew despite Mora's boastful claims the tide of battle turned unexpectedly Kuma a silent Observer witnessed the fall of Moria at the hands of Luffy in the aftermath he promptly reported Mora's defeat to the world government concerned about the potential Global repercussions similar to the Uproar following crocodile's downfall the government issued a dire order fearing the spread of rumors about Mora's defeat they ordered him to eliminate all Witnesses on Thriller bark including the straw hat Pirates adhering to the order Kuma initiated an assault targeting members of the Thriller bark victims Association his attention quickly turned to the formidable Zoro demonstrating the power of His devil fruit ability the conflict escalated as Frankie and Sanji engaged both suffering injuries in their attempts to hit Kuma acknowledging the straw Hat's recent battle with Moria he considered the situation and then presented them with a chilling ultimatum surrender Luffy to him and the rest would be spared unwilling to betray their Captain the straw hats refused Kuma's offer in response he Unleashed a devastating bomb creating an air shock wave that engulfed a significant portion of the island the aftermath of his actions left Thriller bar bark engulfed in chaos and destruction a testament to the power he wielded and the dire nature of the orders he followed though his bomb didn't take their lives it rendered the straw hat crew unconscious in this vulnerable state Kuma moved to capture the defenseless Luffy in a daring and desperate move Zoro mustering his remaining strength struck Kuma with a sword attack though powerful only managed to do minor damage the wound revealed a startling truth Kuma revealed to Zoro that he is an incomplete human weapon crafted by the world government and Dr Vega Punk meaning at this point he still has Consciousness in a moment of selfless bravery Zoro offered his life in exchange for Luffy as Sanji stepped forward to sacrifice himself Zoro swiftly knocked him out determined to be the one to make the ultimate sacrifice Kuma acknowledging zoro's offer agreed under the condition that he endured the immense pain Luffy had suffered in his fight against Moria in a harrowing moment Kuma extracted and transferred Luffy's pain to Zoro nearly costing him his life as Kuma teleported away he reflected on Luffy being dragon's kid recognizing the strength of his Spirit and the Loyalty of his crew Kuma set off for Mary Jo the seat of the world government to deliver his report on the details of his encounter to Fleet Admiral sangoku and GARP sangoku scolded him for his failure to carry out the order to eliminate the straw hats following a grueling confrontation with a pacifista on the sabot archipelago the straw hat Pirates found themselves at a Crossroads their Victory however was short-lived as they were swiftly confronted by kizaru camaru and another pacifista px1 the tent standoff took an unexpected turn with the arrival of the real Bartholomew Kuma Zoro recognizing him he expressed his surprise at being alive attributing it to Kuma's earlier Act of Mercy he was seemingly impressed by zoro's resilience used his devil fruit ability to make Zoro vanish transporting him to the same distant location as perona an outraged Sanji prepared to battle him while the straw hats faced off against the Relentless attacks of px1 Kuma in a surprising move used his ability to dispatch Pat px1 causing cam maru's anger to flare Sanji urging Usopp to flee launched an attack only to be hurt in the process usopp's attempt to hold Kuma back was in vain as he too was sent flying Sanji charged at Kuma but he too was swiftly sent away during the altercation he approached rley Whispering a revelation he was an officer of the Revolutionary Army intent on aiding Luffy and his crew as kizaru inquired about Kuma's whisper to Ry he ignored him refusing to satisfy kizaru's curiosity in a desperate BS to protect his crew Luffy activated gear two Frankie with a fierce strong right attacked him but to no avail Luffy fueled by rage launched a jet pistol which Kuma effortlessly blocked with his paws with only Robin and a transformed Chopper remaining A desperate Luffy lunged at Kuma pleading for him to cease sending his friends Away unmoved by Luffy's pleas he moved on to Robin and Chopper in Swift motions both Chopper and Robin were sent flying Luffy cried out in despair powerless to save his friends Kuma with a final statement that he would not see Luffy again sent him flying completing the disbandment of the straw hat crew prior to his return to marineford Kuma sought a private conversation with rley he conveyed a message as he alluded to the limited time he had left before the completion of his transformation into a full pacifista this act marked the last known action taken by Kuma as a free agent during marineford he was standing alongside fellow Warlords to fight in the war as he awaited the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates the tide of battle shifted when little ORS Jr charged in causing destruction Kuma retaliated with his Ursa shock a devastating attack that severely wounded little ORS junor and swept aside both Marines and Pirates Kuma now an offensive Force launched a beam attack at ianov igniting his Fury at the same time shocked that Kuma had forgot about him in a chilling Revelation doflamingo explained to a shocked ianov and Luffy that the kuma before them was no longer the man they knew Vega Punk's modifications had transformed him into px0 a pacifista devoid of his past personality and memories he then continues to fight if ianov preventing them from saving Ace ivankov responded with his Galaxy wink and a powerful kick vowing to protect his followers from Kuma's Relentless attacks after the war Kuma once again made a mysterious appearance at the Saudi archipelago clutching his trademark Bible shaki recognized him as an ally the reason behind Kuma's unexpected guardianship of the ship was gradually unveiled prior to the loss of his personality Vega Punk had programmed a special Mission into Kuma's body to protect the Thousand Sunny at all costs until the return of a Straw Hat crew member during the Lev Arc Sabo broke in to look for Kuma along with some of the other revolutionary army officers Bonnie also disguised herself as the queen of the sorbet Kingdom to infiltrate the castle they found out Kuma was reduced to a slave to rent at Mary jais this cruel fate was a direct consequence of his earlier actions in helping Luffy prior to the Lev meeting he was rented by rosor a member of the celestial dragons signifying a disturbing misuse of power when Sabo saw this he was angry enough to almost blow his cover and attack attack the palace the Revolutionary members had to calm him down before ruining the mission Bonnie also witnessed the atrocities her father was going through on the climactic fourth day of the levely Sabo and his fellow revolutionaries launched their attack their mission is to rescue Kuma from his dire predicament this led to an intense confrontation with Admiral fujit Tor and greenbull the revolutionaries had the advantage due to the Admirals not being able to go all out because of the celestial dragons meanwhile Sabo went on a stealth mission to locate the keys necessary to free Kuma the operation was a success Sabo and his team managed to escape with Kuma upon reaching momoiro Island Kuma was greeted by Dragon when asked about his observations in Mary Jas Kuma in a rare display of compliance
