Bonney first appearance: chapter 498 in April 2008

Kuma first appearance: chapter 233 in June 2002

When these minor side characters were first introduced while I was still in school, then to think that 15-21 years later that they would make me, a grown man, cry shows the genius writing of Oda.

One of the best back story arcs in One Piece.

May be recency bias, but probably not one of the best backstories. The BEST.
