Underrated page is when Bonney revert back to being a kid again, her real age, and hugging Vegapunk. Without a parental figure no less, she had been force to mature ever since she braved the sea to find her father.
And now , probably for the first time in ages , she finally dropped the bravado. In that brief moment with Vegapunk, with family , she gets to be 12 again.

This has kind of been hinted at for a long time. Even back in Thriller Bark, there was that moment when Cindry's corpse stopped obeying orders and then smiled that beautiful smile at Chopper. And now in Egghead, S-Snake somehow inherited Boa's simping. I'm really interested to see where this goes.

You could also add Saturn's comments a few chapters back about humans always doing what they aren't allowed to do, i.e. Kuma going against his programming, as another hint.

You just made me realise something. Haki is literally translated as "Will" or will power. Saturn did everything to destroy the will of Kuma.

Quite poetic, when he gets a punch of Kumas "deleted" will right in the face next chapter.

It's possible Kuma put something of himself inside the necklace with the Paw-Paw fruit, which caused his body to react when Bonnie's life was in danger. That, or there's a secret order in there that activates only when Bonnie takes possession of it.
Also, whoever gave Luffy food has to be either Caribou or Kizaru. The first has to be scared shitless and Luffy surviving is his only hope to leave unscathed. The other had a change of heart after hearing what Saturn did and possibly know who Nika is thanks to Kuma, meaning he understood that Luffy's new form is related to it.
I hope it's Borsalino, if it's him, he may become my favorite Admiral.

Kuma at this point has become arguably the most important person in the series, because now Luffy has food, Nika is coming back. And since Bonney's powers depend on belief, and she's about to see Nika - that feels like it's going to be a huge power-up.

So Bonney’s Limitless Future powerset is based on how open she perceives her future to be. The more traumatized and downtrodden she is the weaker the fruit the more healthy and optimistic her outlook the more powerful she is.
Her fruit is weaponized childlike wonder. Saturn is trying to squash it while Kuma is trying to preserve it at all cost.

The indominatabe human will is also a theme.
As someone pointed out above, in Thriller Bark we saw Cindry's true self reasserting itself, the replacements for the Shichibukai are self actualizing and taking on traits of whom they are based on and we are witnessing that Kuma was never completely gone.
Despite all the sufferring inflicted on him, Kuma's love for his daughter fuels his indomitable will to keep coming back no matter how much shit gets thrown his way.

u/Jumpy-Interaction204 Dec 27 '23 edited Dec 27 '23
I want to clarify something in the translation. TCB is a bit misleading on the "8th wife line".
TCB:
Your mother being brought to the holy land to be wife number 8 is ironic really. She ended up being part of my drugs experiments.
The actual line is :
後に聖地の者の第8夫人となったお前の母に薬物実験をしたのも私だ
Most literal translation I could come up with:
After that I made drug experiments on your mom who became the 8th wife of a person from the holy land.
聖地の者の第8夫人 is the phrasing Saturn uses. 聖地 meaning holy land, の meaning of and 者 meaning a person so literally "a person of the holy land". this connected to another の and 第8夫人 (8th wife) makes it "the 8th wife of a person of the holy land". The TCB line completely ignored that 者 making it like Saturn is the one marrying Giny. Also, I have no idea where this "it's ironic really" line came from, I don't see anything in the actual japanese line that means Saturn finds it ironic or funny.

The running scene of Kuma in this chapter plays perfectly off of the running panel from last chapter. In great cinematic fashion, he has finally completed his sprint and is exactly where he was meant to be at exactly the right time, the only gift this beautiful soul would have ever asked for. This is peak right here folks!

Anyone remember when Lillith couldn't fully control one of the sea beasts from pursuing its basic desire to try and eat the Sunny?
Or how S-Snake completely ignored York's command because she's part Hancock and Hancock would literally drop everything for Luffy?
Yeah even the highest authority in that hierarchy can't block what's truly desired. If Kuma was willing to leave his home, become a pirate by accepting the news propoganda, accept the Warlord title and lose his humanity all for his daughter, you bet he'll ignore even Saturn's command for her sake.

The entire Kuma flashback has been absolutely fantastic! It's been a while since One Piece has consistently made me tear up but here we are...week after week the more we learn, the more tragic Kuma becomes.
I can't wait for the next chapter. Hopefully, Saturn gets sent flying but I doubt it'll be that easy.

I think Kuma's flashback changes the story for me, changes the way we see Nika, it just makes everything make sense. I doubt it will be easy, but i dont want a 1v1 between luffy and saturn, i want the entire crew beating the shit out of him.

I have never wanted more for someone to join Luffy finding the One Piece than Bonney. She has completely won my heart, what a character and backstory. Kuma's legacy should stay until the end of the series, its literally the essence of One Piece

How for the love of me, after 1000+ chapters, oda managed in just a few chapters make two side character’s story one of the best in the series? Kuma just pawed himself to my top 5 characters in one piece. But pleaseeee let this punch hit. I beg you oda. Also we still have that “incident” that needs to happen, I really hope kuma doesn’t die

Its definitely Kizaru who gave Luffy the food. Hes the only person fast enough and with motivation to do so. Oda's built him up to have a huge connection with everyone involved here, and he knows Luffy is the only one with a real chance of being able to save everyone.
What a real one though, defying a Gorosei like that takes some massive balls and real dedication to what you think is right. I wonder if this means Kizaru is going to fully break with the government over this; Kizaru abandoning the government to keep Vegapunk safe wouldn't be unbelievable, and they'd almost assuredly join the Grand Fleet at that point. Having a former Admiral on board wasnt on my radar after Kuzan joined Blackbeard, but it'd fit in to the dynamic Oda has set up between Lufty and Blackbeard.

I am dumping all of my investments into Kizaru stocks, dude was TROUBLED and I'm gonna bet if he wasn't laid out by luffy he would have made a move to stop Bonney's execution. Heck, still might in a second here after seeing that no amount of programming or brain frying could EVER take away a father's love.
Imagine you're Saturn and you assume "Oh I'll take out the Nika now while he's weak" and then two hours later you're getting jumped JJK style by the Nika, the Nika's Strongest Prophet, and the guy you gave the Light Logia to.

u/ThisIsYourFriendAron Dec 27 '23
Everyone is talking about the punch, but how about the explanation of Bonneys power. Will probably be different in official release, but that lack of imagination and certainty of future causes her powers to not be as crazy. Hope and imagination vs hopelessness and feeling like you’re doomed. It’s a great theme for a power even tho it’s fucked up how she got it.

Highlights for me:
1.) Bonney reverting to her real age and hugging Vegapunk after learning he was her father's friend until the end
2.) Kizaru does not like what's going on at all and is concerned for Bonney despite everything
3.) Saturn ordering his troops to shoot off a 10 year old's head, wtf.
4.) Saturn actually caught offguard rather than just being arrogant

This chapter reminded me of full metal alchemist a bit with Bonney being injected with the essence of the devil fruit in the same way that King Bradley was injected with the philosopher’s stone, also Saturn’s quote about considering the life of a bug before you crush it (I think Father said that too)
I suspected it, but pretty much confirms (unless this TCB translation is way off) that Saturn was Ginny’s rapist. Ugh.
Who is feeding luffy? Is Kizaru about to defect?

If Kizaru DID feed luffy, then heel turns and becomes an ally, I REALLY hope he joins the grand fleet, because then he would literally become the good guys Fleet admiral and that would be SO cool. Every faction could have a Admiral, the government, the Straw Hats and BB.

u/CassidyFreeman Dec 28 '23
This chapter hit all the notes, oh myyyy.
I think Kizaru brought the food to Luffy. He'd be the only one I can think of fast and powerful enough to move around unnoticed. He said earlier he couldn't move after Luffy hit him, but he probably exaggerated a bit so he could chill and lay on his back for a while. After he sees the desperate situation Sentomaru and Bonney are in (he was, after all, never ordered to take them out and still cares for all of them clearly), he's suspiciously seen sitting after the food mysteriously appears for Luffy.
Did Kuma's memories actually restore after Bonney gained access to them? He's using Haki in the final panel, so I don't think he's full cyborg working off of some hidden orders. And I doubt it's Vegapunk programming since he was very surprised at his arrival. The Revolutionaries also don't know what he's doing/where he's going, so that leaves him acting out of his own free will, somehow.
I thought for a second Kuma's body would get pierced like a certain other somebody... but it appears his cyborg body was strong enough afterall. I wonder if whatever ability Saturn is using to stunlock the others doesn't work because he has too many body mods? But then again, Franky can't move either...
I hope Kuma gets in an epic punch reminiscent of Luffy punching a Celestial Dragon, he sure deserves it after we've seen what his life was like... aaand I hope he gets to witness Luffy go G5 so he can make the connection and get confirmation he bet on the right horse

This is one of the rare arc where the main villain should and can be defeated by someone other than Luffy.
I know this doesn't seem to be case because it shows Luffy is being recovered by being fed food & Nika seems to be teased to kick his ass, but I hope Oda makes Kuma to be the one who actually defeats Saturn for good.

As a reminder, this chapter is officially the first of 2024, and was supposed to be released next week, but like usual, it leaks very early around that time.
Chapter 1104 will only be released the third week of January.
