One Piece Chapter 1097 Review "Freedom Fighters"

oh yeah okay are you guys ready for this are you guys ready for God Valley are you guys ready for the biggest slobber knocker this side of the new world well we're going to have to wait a little bit longer maybe five chapters maybe 50 maybe 200 who knows because we are cutting away from rocks and God Valley and we are focusing on the humble life of barthol Yuma who is ready for this oh yeah Kuma's going to be a Pastor he's going to be a kind and benevolent man and he's going to reject the pain from all the old people living in his village are you guys ready for this one piece chapter 1997 review titled jinny I have you can't see it but I have this really fancy giant touchpad next to me I have upgraded because normally whenever I do these I have like a little uh little table to my left with my laptop on it and so you know it's kind of far away I have to kind of like kneel down and like you know look at the panel to make sure but now I have this giant like 27 in like TV tablet thing next to me and I could just like scroll through the whole chapter like that so I'm I'm upgrading okay so uh cover page this week it is a fan request but I don't think it's the fan request that the fan really intended uh the request was simply uh Hey Oda Sensei can you draw Kuma catching fish at the river because bartholomy Kuma his name means bear so you know will catch you know fish at the river so the way that Oda actually Drew this though because Kuma is like very involved in the story right now he actually draws Kuma as well as jinny catching the fish so Kuma's in the water using his pawpaw fruit to like pop the fish out of the river and just appear over and like Jenny grabs them and she's like going to grill them up so that's actually really cool also we see the two kids that last chapter Kuma you know he was uh they were picking on him they were like throwing rocks at him jinny beat them up and then he used his uh paw powers to uh remove the pain okay so something I missed was those two kids are actually going to grow up to be members of Bonnie's crew the ones that we see at the sabot OD archipelago the one dude that has like uh you know the little hat and then the other dude that has kind of like a mohawk sort of thing going on they eventually will be captured by a kindu uh what happened there is we don't know the whole story but we know Bonnie was captured by Blackbeard shortly after she entered the new world and then Aku showed up Blackbeard skipped out and then Aku was just there like oh Bonnie it's a good thing we caught you now we don't know exactly how she escaped I'm assuming it was a combination of not just her powers uh which by the way SPS 107 we finally know the name of Bonnie's devil fruit it's the Toshi Toshi noi it just means the age age fruit or the year year fruit something that everybody kind of expected but yeah I I'll be doing an SPS video later this week there wasn't really anything crazy in this one um honestly the reveal of Bonnie's devil fruit might have been the biggest thing but yeah it's it's kind of like with kids fruit you know we didn't know about kids gey Jey know me for the longest time in fact this is something very similar where Oda is like wait a second I didn't reveal that yet okay here it is because like it's nothing surprising it's not like kids fruit was something we didn't expect it's the magnet magnet fruit Bonnie's fruit is the age age fruit it's it's like common what most people expected it to be it was but yeah it's the Toshi Toshi noi so anyway probably a combination of Bonnie using her Toshi toi noi as well as her crew helping her escape and so she got away and so she was on her own for pretty much the entire time skip all the way up until now when she arrived at Egghead we always saw her in the New World by herself just kind of Getting By You Know stealing food and whatnot um but yeah it's actually really cool that those two kids that were like I guess became friends with Kuma and jinny after that whole in incident uh would grow up and become uh basically like uh kind of like Bonnie's Guardians on her crew just like making sure she's okay because she's Kuma's daughter okay that's actually kind of neat I like that so we are beginning the chapter 8 years after the god Valley incident so this is 30 years ago Kuma is 17 and jinny is 21 uh there was a little bit of a mistranslation some of the translations said that jinny was actually four years uh like she was like four years old in the last chapter which was been crazy because at age four she would have mastered like telecommunications and like spy networks you know no she she was 13 she's four years older than Kuma okay uh which is still kind of crazy when you think about the whole God Valley incident was caused uh when like a girl just like made a phone call to various Pirates and just like hey um the Marines took a bunch of really rare devil fruits from you Pirates they're here on God Valley click and then giant War so like there it is so so anyway Kuma has set himself up now at age 17 as the pastor at the church uh that was the church by the way that his father clap and his mother had I guess preached at okay so it was Kuma's home okay so when they returned to the sorbet Kingdom after God Valley Kuma obviously would go back to his you know childhood home but obviously his parents are gone his dad is dead his mother passed away at marijua but the church was just kind of left empty and Abandoned and uh when Kuma returned with Ivanov and jinny Ivanov ended up leaving but jinny and Kuma stayed behind and they repaired the church a little bit and Kuma at age 17 now is the humble Pastor which makes sense because every time we see Kuma in the present he's always carrying around a Bible um I I questioned last time kind of jokingly uh what religion do they do they practice you know like which God do they worship and I made a joke about like you know is Jesus in the one piece world like what maybe Jesus was Joy boy who knows but then I'm like wait a minute no they would just probably worship naika right they would probably just worship the Sun God it's like it's right there it's so obvious clap was obviously and was like oh don't worry Kuma all you got to do is dance you know and just like so yeah that's obviously if if they didn't worship before like this this is the god in Kuma's perspective the god that Kuma would worship and that he would like get down on his knees and pray to like this would probably be the sun god the god that represents freedom and hope to to all of those that are suffering and that are enslaved in this world um and bring smiles to everybody's face that would be the God that he would worship absolutely right so I'm not really sure if like you know there there's like I mean there is a Bible there there's a Bible that exists so that must be like the Bible of the sun god which is now making me really question so many things in this world like what is did Kuma write the Bible was there a sun god religion like beforehand it was always talked about that like the sun god Nika was always just kind of a being that the slaves would just kind of tell stories about in order to make it better for themselves to like give them hope that they could Escape someday so I guess yeah that is how a lot of religions begin but in terms of like scripture like actually written text and like you know codec and to tomes and stuff like that um you know like does that exist or did Kuma have to write that I'm I'm just interested in that there's a lot of lot of questions that are being brought about in the theological argument here you know what I mean of like this the son Nika ISM or something like that you know okay well anyway Kuma is here and 30 Years Ago by the way this would have been the same year that um actually the same year GARP fought chinou so while Kuma is a humble Pastor you know GARP is punching chena's you know nail head down into a stump and also it was the same year that uh Odin joined Whitebeard uh Odin went out to see and joined Whitebeard but this is just the South Blue humble Little Village the old folks are coming into the church every Sunday and they're like oh oh Kuma yes when your father preached here I came every Sunday yes I did I'm a good worshipper of the Sun godone but then he disappeared and I was a little worried but then you came back and oh clap raised a very very good son and so could you help me with my my hip problems you know so Kuma being very nice is using his hands of Liberation his hands of freedom and healing to heal all of the uh poor old people that are living in the sorbet Kingdom so they come to him it seems mostly the uh the congregation is made up of of old folks uh you know so there's a little village nearby and so they'll come in every Sunday and you it's like oh my hip oh my back oh my cataracts I wonder what the limit is to what Kuma can really reject from people right cuz he mentions to them later um oh my God this thing is so cool I'll take away any light pain or sickness so what's the uh what's the upper extent of that you know I'm just curious It's just like if okay let's say cataracts cuz cataracts are a thing that like it's not really I mean it is a disease but like it forms around your eyes and makes it difficult to see so Kuma just and oh my cataracts are gone I can see again all the glory of well easy come easy go so um they talk to him though and they're like hey Kuma can you do this on the weekdays because apparently he only does this particular service uh I guess there's actually a mass like there's a congregation that comes in and he you know speaks the word of the son God and everything like that and then after the service it's just like now all of my children that would wish to be healed and be alleviated with the the healing paw hands please approach the um um oh God please approach the the the banister I I don't know I don't know he's like whatever come up here to the altar the altar that's it the altar yeah come up to the altar okay and so he only does this on Sundays though they're like can you do this can you open this up on the weekend please and to that point jinny then burs in so Jenny burs in she's 21 at this point and uh she kind of chastises the congregation she's like no Kuma cannot do this any other day he can only do it today because you guys are a bunch of freeloaders that don't even pay him for this all right the collection plate over there has been dry as a bone for a month okay so they're like she's like yelling at these old people and just like no Kuma does enough for all of you you should be grateful damn it they all kind of talk about like how jinny is so stingy and she's beautiful but she has such a like an abrasive very rough personality although they also bring up that uh you know every like every young sutor in town is also you know you know confessing their love to her because of that reason you know she's she's like the domineering older sister type in fact she's wearing like a tank top that literally just says sister across it so that's that she mentions you know this isn't some kind of like a relief camp or or Hospital or anything like that this is a church you know you come here to worship and you should be thankful Kuma is even you know doing this service to you and like helping you remove your pain and everything like that right so um they they they're like you know jinny's yelling at them but they're taking it in good stride I guess this is a pretty common occurrence so they're just like oh okay jitty oh my goodness you know maybe you should yeah there's a lot of men in town that would love to marry you maybe your personality is just yeah I don't know that's what they young people are into these days you know right okay uh but they also mentioned that oh we're we're so happy just to see Kuma like just going to church and seeing Kuma's like smiling face gives everybody hope and it kind of alleviates their tension and everything like that of course The Healing Hands is a bonus but Kuma is like oh I'm so glad to hear that thank you everybody a geez Shucks this is just such a good time so before really hits the fan what we're going to see later uh in the chapter cuz we're going to time Jump a lot in this one at the very least you know growing up at this phase in Kuma's life it was pretty happy it was pretty happy him living in the church with Jenny and having the just the the old folks from the village I'm sure they bring them pie every now and then like oh Kuma I made you my special apple pie a thank you old lady Jenkins thank you old lady Jenkins tell your husband I said hello oh I will of course yes and I was just like it's nice it's very wholesome it's a wholesome nice time for Kuma and jinny all right don't take that away from him that that's oda's job that is oda's job to take that away from him okay all right so um they're talking now a little bit about the politics of the islands so because of the celestial you dragons and their Heavenly tribute because the sorbet kingdom is an Allied nation of the world government they have to pay the tribute well because of that that's the reason they don't have really any money to give Duma that's the reason the collection plates a little dry because it's like you know they have to take all the little money they have left and put it in the collection the tax collection to go to the tender Vito to go to marijua right okay so they're talking about that they're having a hard time surviving just on their own however they're also mentioning that there is a new king of the sorbet Kingdom now this is King bori uh be k o r i all right and you see an image of him and uh he doesn't look like a nice guy looks like a pretty big hard ass he just looks like the oh yes I am King porori of the sorbet Kingdom my first edict siphon off all of the old people because they suck and then we're going to draw all the money from them and then prepare my dinner my magnificent Feast he's that kind of so you know he's that kind of typical one piece so we we'll see where that goes in fact we we we can already assume where that's going to go okay so uh he's like he demands sick people like us pay the Heavenly tribute ah uh he's like oh yeah the prison is horrible too oh my husband starved to death in there it's like oh God yeah so this is this is pretty bad and it's also probably the one Beacon of Hope that these people have in their life to go to Kuma's church every Sunday and hear the story about naika and how he's going to bring happiness and smiles to the world probably one of the few things in these old folks life that are really making it through the day you know what I mean so uh now now Jenny's not mean to that jinny's not going to be like I don't care about your husband get out of here you know Jenny like sits there and she's like yeah okay yeah that really does suck the corruption that's going on here and they saw this firsthand I mean jinny and Kuma were both slaves at marijua even after getting away from marijua and escaping back to their Homeland well I guess Kuma's Homeland jinny's not from here but you know Kuma's Homeland even here in the South Blue Which is far from the Ivory Towers of marijua and far it's on the other side of the planet from God Valley um despite that this corruption still persists these corrupt kings that are bleeding their citizens dry locking them up in the dungeons just like arlong locked up belir remember that bamir is still locked in the dungeons ladies and gentlemen oh my goodness it's bad we see an image of bori in his castle and uh he's talking to the celestial dragons via ad denden Mushi and now he's like super like he's like oh hello there Celestial dragons I am King bori oh don't worry I will make sure I get you the biggest C Celestial tribute that you've ever seen in your life absolutely you can count on me bori anyway so for the next revery I was wondering if I could get a seat no okay that's okay I will be fine with that tell you what I will give you even more next year that's the kind of guy bori is and I'm sure that's the kind of guy and uh girl that a lot of kings and queens of the one piece worlds really are um at the end of the day it's like okay uh I am the king well not really because you got to answer to the tend rubo okay so it's either you got one or two choices here Choice number one you can decide to stay by your C citizens in your country this is kind of like like what Cobra and rku do III did you know they were Kings of their people they cared about their people they were kind and generous Kings okay then you could either be that or you could be the king that's like all right screw the population I am going to side with the tener Rito because they're the ones I want to get in good graces with because they're the ones that actually rule the world okay and so there are these two types of royalties two types of rulers that exist in the one piece World broadly speaking of course some islands don't even have kings and queens like water 7 I always assumed water 7 was connected to the world government it was Allied with it but water 7 didn't have a king they had like an elected official they had Iceberg who was a mayor but in most of the kingdoms they are kingdoms right so yeah um in the case with Cobra and rku yeah they were definitely there for their people in the case with this uh this dude right here this bori as well as like uh SEI King SEI of La Kingdom I don't know where that is or even if it was a kingdom but that's the place I'm thinking of right now they were very cruel kings that did not care about their own citizens and only cared about like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah how much money how much crops how many how much resources can you produce okay thank you give it to me I'm giving it to the celestial dragons oh yes Celestial dragons I love you so much can I please join the r i can oh my God this is great fantastic you know so that's that's the way that situation goes there so all of the old folks uh they leave the church they go back home and then later that evening uh you see Kuma walking through the uh you know the hes and everything like that in the Gathering Hall of the church and you just see a giant pain bubble uh not quite as big as the one that you know Kuma rejected out of Luffy at Thriller bark but still a pretty sizable one okay it's bigger than Kuma himself and Kuma's already a big guy all right so he approaches it and he kind of has to like you know just like okay uh this one's kind of big this week okay ah you know and so he does that he has to absorb all the pain into himself right and I'm reading this and I'm looking at that and I'm like oh my God Kuma there there has to be a better way are you tired of your pain bubbles taking on the the force and strife of a hundred people at once you know try new pain off you know it just it's the new he's like no there has to be a better way right I was like can't you just take the bubble and like store it in the basement or something like or or put it into an inanimate object like take the pain bubble and throw it into a rock and The Rock like shatters like isn't there something you can do well in the next panel it actually gives us a new explanation on how Kuma's ability really works and it adds like kind of a whole new dimension to this right so as Kuma is in the church just you know yelling and screaming in agony and pain you know blood and stuff rupturing from his body jinny is in the next room and she's just crying she's sitting there just like balling her eyes out cuz this is a weekly occurrence this is the reason Jenny came out when when she got so pissed that all of the old people were like oh Kuma could you please reject our pain every day of the week or during the weekdays maybe Wednesdays I'm good for Wednesdays that's why jinny got so mad it's just because they don't know the kind of pain and strife that Kuma has to go through every single week in order to reject all of their pain because as we find out if I leave it be if I leave the pain bubble be they will eventually return back to their original users okay the person that the pain was rejected from okay so he could take individual pain Bubbles and kind of congeal it together into a big bubble but if left unattended it'll just go back and I guess he can't put the pain bubble into an inanimate object to have it shatter um I mean Kuma is a very kind person so he would never do this but like one way that you could do it I guess is you could grab a pirate or something that's just like y I be goldbeard the pirate I'm going to be the next Goldie Roger I've burned down this town yeah okay come over here we need you to do something wait what just like all right you're going to hang out here at our church and just uh do that for every week right okay that's cool obviously Kuma would not do something that that cruel um so he would opt to take it on to himself he's literally becoming a martyr you can literally see this he's literally taking on the physical pain of everybody in town all right all of the the raw pain of like a sore hip and and like oh my goodness miss my ankle you know it's like all that is rejected in Duma all right and he's taken it like a champ but jinny is just she's very upset about this she does not want Kuma to be doing this week after week you know it causes you so much pain and Kuma's like H it can't be helped Jenny I want to help people but my Powers you know I can't just leave it be someone has to take on the pain to make it vanish for good and and of course they're not going to tell the old folks about it because then they're going to feel guilty of about doing this every single week right it's the idea that like nothing is free there's somebody has to pay the price somebody eventually has to feel this pain Kuma's power only like basically removes the pain temporarily uh to give like a little bit of a stop Gap but somebody eventually has to take it on okay also I want to say this adds a whole new dimension to the nothing happen scene if anybody out there was a little bit like maybe not exactly confused but you know Kumo was there at Thriller bark to eliminate the straw hats that was his job and then all of a sudden he's like all right tell you what if if Zoro pirate Hunter if you go into this pain bubble and you take on all the pain from your captain I'll let you go seems a little bit now obviously we didn't know a lot about Kuma back then at that point we didn't know about Kuma's backstory or the kind of guy his connection to the Revolutionary Army we didn't know any of that back then so maybe some people back then would have been like oh my God Kuma is supposed to be a warlord tasked to eliminate the straw hats and he just lets them go no just like that just because Zoro took on some pain that doesn't make any sense now that makes sense that makes a million sense because Kuma is the kind of guy that would take on the pain of others so they could live on and they could live happy lives and so Kuma gave that same option to Zoro and be like I'll tell I'll tell you what I'll let your captain live I was sent here to kill him but I will let him live if you take on all the pain and suffering and exhaustion he had with his whole fight with Moria and ORS and I'm sure Kuma was expecting like there's no way this guy's going to do it there is no way this swordsman dude is going to do that and and Zoro was like all right I'll do it just let let's not do it around here let's do it somewhere quiet also very similar uh drawing parallels to this where Kuma Waits until it's night time and waits when no one's around and then he absorbs the pain so Kuma was like oh my God I can't believe this guy I can't believe this swordsman would really do that all right let's go and then he goes into the bubble and then of course nothing happen happened right Kuma's respect for Zoro shot through the freaking ceiling it was just like H all right you know what he did that for his captain I'm going to let him go all right so that's pretty cool we have a nice little touching scene where jinny after Kuma absorbs all the pain she's nursing him back to health you know he's in the bed he's all beat up he just like got like I got collectively beat up by like a hundred people at once basically and he's there and he's bleeding and he has a black eye and he has like ice on his head and just like it'll be all right then they're like okay how about we eat food we we we still have some food here and then jinny's like yeah food yeah and so they have a nice meal together so yeah know that's that's that's their life okay and that continues on for a number of years we are now cutting to 5 years later so 25 years ago in the uh the timeline of one piece this is when Kuma is 22 and jinny is 26 all right and this is the point where uh jinny decides to pop the question so yeah jinny is very clearly Bonnie's mind mother um it's at this point 25 years ago so this was during uh this was actually during like when Roger found the one piece actually this was like during that moment there right after he found the one piece um and he was allotted as the king of the Pirates and this is actually the year I think where like Roger was spending with Rouge uh where Ace was conceived okay 25 years ago this is also around the time Odin returns to wano and he sees you know Orochi and everything and I think he starts like dancing in the streets that's around this time but yeah we just have a moment where jinny is now just let's get married Kuma right here right now we're already in a church D we don't even have to go anywhere and Kuma's just like uh uh jinny no that's let's no it's okay it's like oh come on why not I'll make you happy I will make you happy Kuma marry me right now just like I will be the most amazing bride you have ever seen in your life and just like yeah I I know you would it's just that and then he has a flashback to his mother and to his father and his father's Last Wish of just like please don't you know uh I am the one with Buccaneer Blood please do not harm my child my wife doesn't have Buccaneer Blood please stop and so that's why Kuma is hesitant to get married to jinny and have a child because of what happened to his own parents so Kuma is afraid that if they have a child that child will have Buccaneer blood and then the government will find out and it'll get leaked somehow just like it did with him and then they'll show up and try to kill him okay so um he's just like yeah I I I really don't want you to suffer and then he kind of changes the topic but here's the thing Bonnie had to have been born at some point now we don't actually see Bonnie in this chapter we don't see jinny holding a baby or anything like that we don't have a scene where you know jinny and Kuma and and he's like they're cradling a baby Bonnie or anything like that now Bonnie is is listed to be like around 24 years old and she was around when vega Punk was um established Egghead and that was like 20 years ago right so if that's the case then they I'm thinking Oda just cuts over it he doesn't just focus on that scene because we have a lot of stuff to cover in this chapter but I think it was shortly after this moment where jinny's like come on let's get married shortly after this they do end up getting married Kuma does relent and then they do have a child we just don't see it here but by the end of the chapter it's 14 years ago and at that point jinny and Kuma aren't even together anymore they're not separated or anything they didn't get a divorce it's just they're in separate parts of the world because they're members of the Revolution at that point I feel like and it was listed that Bonnie was born in the South she was born in the sorbet Kingdom so the only way that really works is like at this point or maybe in the next Flash Forward we're going to get but at some point Kuma and jinny are going to leave the South to be in the Revolutionary Army so Bonnie would have had to have been born before that you know obviously okay well anyway Kuma kind of changes the topic of the wedding to be like uh yeah anyway way check out this news article about uh the Freedom Fighters uh there's this guy named dragon and the government has finally issued a warrant for them so 25 years ago right at the right at the doorstep of uh the great pirate era right before Roger died uh is when the Revolutionary army or the Freedom Fighters as they were known back then uh were beginning to make waves in fact it might have actually been a little bit before this uh because um you know right before this would have been like when they started and gaining speed and Gathering some followers it's only now 25 years ago that the government is acknowledging them as criminals and as these These are revolutionaries these are people that need to be stopped okay and so we see an image of dragon in the paper he does not have the tattoo across his face yet uh he looks very much like he did when he met uh Vega Punk at Ohara that's only 3 years away um you know 25 years ago is this flashback 22 years ago was ohhara and so yeah dragon is here and he's just reading the paper and he's just like and Kuma's like wow dragon is a really cool person I bet a lot of people look up to him I think I look up to him too he's really cool and he has a cool name Dragon my name is bear I wish my name was dragon and pretty NE Dragon does have a cool name you know definitely uh GARP knew what he was doing when he named dragon and just like ah my baby boy what am I going to call you uh stormbringer no uh you know dreadn Monkey D dreadn that's a cool one ah know that's too long how about just Monkey D dread Dragon oh yeah that's cool right that's a little ironic though that Dragon would have been named Dragon given that GARP doesn't like the celestial dragons but we still have to you know garp's wife might have been the one that named him who knows we got to figure out how that all works out okay um so people show up at the church to like give them food uh it's the same dude with the hat and the Mohawk that are eventually going to be you know members of Bonnie's crew they're like hey we fought a bunch of we got a bunch of fish um and I think we actually get their name the the dude that has the Hat uh this guy right here I guess his name is goo um that that would probably be his name I don't think we ever got his name before that and so there's a little bit of a comedy moment here and um you know we just kind of cut to the next Flash Forward but I'm assuming I'm assuming in that Flash Forward the next one is 22 years ago in between 25 years ago and 22 years ago Kuma and Jenny got married and Bonnie was born I'm assuming that's happening there because now we're cutting to 22 years ago uh Kuma at this point would have been uh let me just double check man this thing is so cool 25 um but my God this is awesome I I know you can't see it but like it's just like a giant tablet that I could just like move and like read the chapter that way this this is fancy man we're in the future right now this is awesome okay so this is where starts hitting the fan in the sorb Kingdom okay um the kingdom has effectively been cut in half by the king so the king is just like ah all right we need to we need to maximize the amount of Celestial Dragon Heavenly tribute here okay well there's a bunch of these old people did you know there's just villages in the south of the island that are just covered with old people ew it's disgusting all right here's what we're going to do here's the new battle plan for sorb we're going to take the island and we're going to draw a massive line right in the center of it the south is actually not even part of sorbet Kingdom officially that's just a lawless land they can murder and kill and Pirates and whatever not part of our country anymore but meanwhile the actual sorb om will be in the north part of the island and that's the part we like to maximize the Heavenly tributes okay because the Heavenly tribute citizens pay to the world government is decided by the value of the citizen so I guess if you have he he mentions that old people who pay very little or or do little still have to pay so that's kind of like a drag down for like the Celestial Dragon tribute okay so basically effectively you know corralling all of the old people into the southern part of the island and then just cutting it off and just being like this is this is not sorbet anymore and then coming over here that will make the celestial tribute like easier to pay or like you know you're basically cutting your country in half okay so we see a little map a diagram of it we see that the castle and the castle town is on the northern part of the island and then Kuma's Church in the old people Village is on the southern part of the island okay and uh we even see one of the members of the Army is like approaching the king and it's just like my king um this policy is kind of messed up dude and it's like oh it does matter eventually they'll understand their place you know yeah so yeah this guy's an right don't don't worry he'll get murdered in a moment uh don't worry dragon and ionov will come over here in a moment and kill the out of him don't worry it's it's going to happen so Kuma is in town and he hears the Injustice of this so he immediately barges into town and confronts the um the Army and he's like you know he's like what are you doing you can't you can't do this you can't just turn half the island into a freaking Lawless land and then um and you know the um the Army is just like oh it's the pastor it's Kuma from the southern part of the island what are you doing here and he's just like it is like I I I can't let you do this already is that fight are you fighting us are you fighting the Army I guess I am and so Kuma fights against the Army and is sarily you know I guess he's just overwhelmed because Kuma is strong eventually Kuma would get overwhelmed if there's like you know 5,000 people fighting him you know eventually he would get you know the kicked out of him and then drawn into the prison so they all get thrown into the prison on the island uh Kuma is there jinny is there cuz they also after Kuma got arrested jinny tried to get him back and so she got beat up and she got arrested gooo is also there the Mohawk guy is also there and a bunch of other people that I I think will eventually become members of Bonnie's crew right once again Bonnie is not mentioned at this point okay so but this is 22 years ago this is during when um Ohara happens yeah so the Ohara incident is occurring same year as this so now we get a really cool double page spread where Kuma is now really angry like you see the veins beginning to pop he has his hat at this point his trademark Kuma hat and he's just like I cannot believe our kingdom would become like this you know we need to stop this by any means necessary before it gets out of hand um and jinny is just like well the king only cares about pleasing the Nobles pleasing the world government the tener Rito and does not care about the citizens or anything else and then that is when a giant explosion happens and then dragon and Ivanov and the revolutionaries or rather the Freedom Fighters make their appearance they barge into the town dragon is basically just like you know like the king is like oh no King you must get out of here please leave and then dragon's like do you think we're going to let that son of a leave you think that's on the table right now Dragon comes in and I'm pretty sure the king is murdered by dragon and Cold Blood like that is that that is pretty much the implication here okay but anyway yeah the kingdom is we're we're flashing forward a little bit here the revolution happens very quickly and just like dragon and Ivanov and the revolutionaries burst in and then we just see that the town is just like applauding and he like yeah we're free wooo it got a little bit it got kind of close to that it's mentioned later that the this is a very common policy that the ten Rito spread in the world like I could see them having meetings at the Ry the tener Vito are like so if you guys are having problems paying your Celestial tribute your heavenly tribute um think about maybe quartering off part of your Island as a lawless Zone that's one option to do it like I can imagine the tender beo have this giant PowerPoint presentation right and they're just like okay everybody listen up I'm hearing a lot of people are having problems paying their Heavenly tribute this year so we came up with a handy little PowerPoint uh that allows you to do it so uh number one uh make your citizens work more it's pretty simple you know 12-hour work days let's go to 20h hour work days that's a good way to do it uh you know corner off your Island into a lawless zone so that that way you could do it absolutely um just uh you know uh conquer other Islands you know conquer other Islands preferably ones that aren't allied with the government the Vodka kingdom is doing that and it's an amazing success and and they go on like this 10-point PowerPoint thing and and and like none of the points are like hey maybe you could just lower the Heavenly tribute ah so you're kicked out of the Ry by see right here this is what we were talking about Point number seven look for weaker kingdoms um like this dude right here and then just conquer his all right there you go right yeah so yeah it's a messed up it's a messed up way okay so uh Ivanov and dragon arrive they free jinny and Kuma from the prison obviously jinny and Kuma recognize uh the face of Ivanov by the way that's something that comes up later during Marine Ford when uh Ivanov is reunited with Kuma there at that point Kuma is px0 and Ivanov says this is the first time in my life someone has forgotten my face you know and so that that adds a whole new dimension to that as well like oh my God yeah I guess you wouldn't forget Ivon kof's face but Kuma did cuz he became a robot right we get this cool spread of the revolutionaries or rather the Freedom Fighters at this point uh we don't see any real familiar faces other than Dragon Ivanov who were the pillars and then Kuma joins as the third pillar of the organization jinny is also there like yeah let's go right uh we see uh the trademark hats so they all wear these kind of like Oliver Twist kind of top hats you know obviously this is Sabo but the style existed long before Sabo was a member of the celestial not a member of the celestial dragons a member of the Freedom Fighters right so you see some people wearing that I don't really see Bellow Betty or Lindberg or Morley or anything like that actually I think Morley is still an impel down at this point Morley is the one that actually created the network of tunnels that would become new Comm land later so that's that's an interesting fun fact um but yeah so dragon is there he's got this cool like military outfit on this like double breasted suit he's got like three stars on his suit don't really know what that that signifies if anything he's got that leg band that has the same kind of design as his tattoo that he's later going to tattoo on his face um this is the same year that he meets Vega Punk at Ohara so obviously he looks exactly the same as he did in that flashback uh in the next scene Dragon kind of talks about the uh the Freedom Fighters a little bit and he mentions that we're still in need of funding we still need funding in order to make this happen essentially right now we're just a rag tag band of mercenaries um we're mercenaries that will Ally with kingdoms that have corrupt Kings to overthrow them that's basically what the Freedom Fighters are right now they don't really have I don't even know if they have Bal too yet as their home base of operations uh they really are just a band of mercenaries that are fighting for the greater good to overthrow the corrupt world government that that is their goal and that is their aim uh we will teach those who wish how to join this military and how to handle weapons and fight uh Kuma mentions like how how do you know all this stuff Dragon like how do you know how to do this kind of stuff right we see their ship um the ship it has a different Insignia it's different from the Revolutionary Army symbol right now that has the dragon on it this one is just like an X it's like a big X and one of the X's is kind of jagged like teeth like maybe Dragon Teeth that's the idea um but anyway Dragon mentions is like I used to be part of the Marines but I found no justice there so I left and I joined and I created the Freedom Fighters right uh Ivanov mentions ah yes heha you first were a marine fighting for justice and then you became a revolutionary fighting for the people you just want to help so many Don't You Dragon right now dragon is a very serious individual he's doing what he's doing that's the correct thing that's the right thing to get rid of the world government but he's not like Luffy he's not like hey everybody let's go fight against the world government ah it should be fun dragon dragon dragon and I was like no no no he is a very serious pragmatic individual he's like this is a war we were basically fighting and it's going to be tough and a lot of people might die he he he gives me a lot more similarities to K who is the leader of the Revolutionary Army at Alabaster which by the way I feel like kza should join up with dragon in the revolutionaries I mean granted their Revolution already happened and it's all good you know everything's well I don't know actually now that alabasta because Cobra's dead so that's a whole situation actually I mentioned this earlier I think the best person to actually rule over alabasta since Viv and Viv is with Morgans and um eeram and pel and Chaka are away probably the smartest person would probably be kza he's really good at you know like leading a bunch of people together like temporarily even or even maybe making him the permanent king would probably be fine so I'm thinking K is ruling Alabaster like right now as this is happening right okay so uh he talks all this stuff like dragon is speaking about his ideals and everything and Kuma is like I will follow you to the ends of the Earth Dragon I believe in you and dragon says I won't let you regret that decision Kuma so that's the kind of leader he is he's just like if you join me I will promise you will not regret it the kind of work I will not be corrupted I will work tirelessly to free all of the citizens from the corrupt world government and the tendero and I will never change my ideals on that front so that's the kind of guy dragon is he is unmovable very much like how Luffy will never give up on his dream to become king of the Pirates Dragon will never give up on his dream to liberate the world okay that is something that is steadfast okay that is unmovable that is Monkey D Dragon okay so now we're cutting again into the future 8 years in the future so this is 14 years ago Kuma would be 32 at this point jinny I think is 37 uh and this is I think the same year that Tom creates the um the puffing Tom the puffing Tom is finished finally uh at this point as well as water 7 so we're uh cutting back to the sorbet Kingdom very briefly where Kuma arrives back at his homeland and he like oh Kuma you're back you should come back and visit more often we're worried about you and so we're glad you're doing okay that's all we get we have a ver a vision of Kuma like in silhouette arriving at sorb I'm thinking since Kuma and jinny went off to join the Revolutionary army they probably left Bonnie on their home island in the care of like Yoo in the care of like their childhood friends to raise her okay and that's why they would eventually become members of Bonnie's crew because they were essentially her Guardians they protected her okay cuz you know Kuma and jinny are not going to bring a baby or a little kid onto the re uary Army like that's not going to happen all right they're like no you need to stay here cuz sorbet kingdom is good sorbet Kingdom has been liberated and and in fact we still have to factor in Kuma becoming the king at this point so maybe this is where that happens but the implication is Kuma comes back every once in a while to say hi to everybody probably to check up on Bonnie to provide money and resources and food but he was also the king so how is he working on the Revolutionary Army and also being the king unless at this point he comes back and he chooses to stay probably is what happened so while that's going on in some other random Kingdom probably in the East blue we have jinny who is now like 37 38 years old and she's like she's got a rifle and she's a full-fledged member of the Revolutionary Army in fact she is the Eastern Army General meaning that that's the position belloti would get Bellow betti I think would have been 20 years old at this point so I think Bob Betty might be even we don't see her in the background anywhere God this is so nice I can actually zoom in I could zoom oh my God Oda always puts so many things in the background of panels that it's kind of hard for me to see like like the old setup but now I can like I can like zoom in that's so freaking awesome anyway they're hanging out and uh so yeah maybe Bell Betty was there Jenny's just on a big crate of ammo she's just she's like freaking Sigourney Weaver or something she's just like like like Sarah Connor or actually I think Sarah Connor is more appropriate there she's like Linda Hamilton here in T2 she's just like yeah we're gonna beat those World Government bastards you know just like that's pretty awesome uh ironic considering she was married to a person that would later become a Terminator is maybe that's the reference I don't know anyway she's really happy right now and all the other members of the revolutionaries are like ah Commander Jenny why are you so happy right now and she like well it's because we're going to go meet up with Kuma's division tomorrow and I'm really excited okay and so she's pumped because she hasn't apparently seen Kuma in a while I'm guessing they're married but like you know because of the Revolution it's just like hey Kuma we need you in the west Jenny we need you in the North okay we need you in opposite Seas uh it's probably something like that or or jinny in the East cuz she's the Eastern Commander Kuma might have been in the southern Commander or something like that maybe maybe the reason Kuma is returning to sorbet is because he was just made the southern division Commander so like lindberg's eventual position and since Kuma is like well if I'm the Southern Southern General I might as well live at sorbet and set myself up as the king while also being a revolutionary maybe it was something like that well very last scene of the chapter everything's going great and then the last two panels it's Dragon he gets a call from Balo so they have baltigo at this point and dragon has his tattoo so he at least had the tattoo 14 years ago and just like Dragon we got bad news jinny's been captured an unexpected enemy has end of chapter no break next week I don't see the break image so great no break next week we're going to get three in a row nice awesome uh probably a break after the next one okay so uh yeah this this was a great chapter I love chapters I mean last chapter was great with rocks but I love chapters that play with the timeline you know what I mean that like 30 years ago 25 years ago 22 years ago 14 years ago because then I get to pull up the one piece timeline and like oh what was happening 14 years ago oh what was happening 30 years ago you know oh that was when Odin joined whitebeard's crew oh my God all this stuff's happening at the same time this is so cool right so um everything seemed to be going good the sorbet kingdom was liberated and they seem to be doing okay uh we get a little bit more of uh the people that would eventually become Bonnie's crew mates so like Oda is showcasing them a little bit not a lot but enough to understand like the kind of people that they are uh and then we get to see dragon and ionov in their younger years and then Dragon uh at some point during 22 years ago and 14 years ago because they have Bal too at this point something happened where they received funding not sure where the funding came from but it's always possible that the funding might have actually come from Vega Punk cuz you know Dragon asked Vega Punk at ohhara like join the Freedom Fighters I can't believe you sided with the government Vega Punk's like well that's where they they have the money for my research quazar that's what I'm doing what if after Vega Punk joined the government and got his research funding what if he took some of that funding and funneled it into the revolution secretly cuz he would have been able to do it uh I don't know if they like bank accounts in the one piece world or whatever but you know like he he's Vega Punk he could figure out a way to do it and uh maybe that's the reason why Vega Punk doesn't have as much money as he wanted not because they're not giving him enough but because he has to take some of it and give it to the Revolution because at this point they have a home base they have ball to go dragon has the tattoo that couldn't have been cheap to make the tattoo you know what I mean they have a lot more resources they have a lot more people they have actual armies at this point cuz jinny is the Eastern Army Captain meaning that you know the generals exist at this point so there's an Eastern Western northern southern and Grand line captains and Generals and vice generals and everything like that so the Revolutionary army 14 years ago seem to have the same structure as it does right now so they either have the benefactor of Vega Punk or somebody else that was funding their operation or they received money somewhere else in order to make this work cuz Dragon specifically mentioned in this chapter we lack funding we need to find it okay maybe they found Captain John's treasure maybe they were the ones that found it who knows well anyway um that was the chapter of really solid one lot of stuff to unpack with this one still stuff to unpack from the last chapter I'm going to do a video actually on gloriosa uh granny neon becoming you know member of rox's crew and then she was the former Empress definitely got to do one about that got to do one talking about uh uh and maybe like maybe I can even do an expanded video on the pawpaw fruit since we know a little bit more about that now um maybe Bonnie's crew and stuff Bonnie herself so yeah there's a lot of stuff to unpack here thanks for watching everybody this will be teking 101 signing out later all
