It doesn't matter if the entire world is against you, Kuma will always be on your side

Maybe it’s cause I’m a dad of a little girl but I lost it - like, no matter what, Dad’s got your back Bonney. Protecting her till the end.

I ain't even a dad and that got me bawling. Kuma is best dad in the series.

It’s almost like he’s there to cosmically balance out all the bad dads in the series

u/noideawhatimdoingv Feb 01 '24

Buccaneers (Whitebeard and Kuma) are the only good dads in One Piece. and Zeff. Maybe Zeff is a part buccaneer as well.

u/BigBadRash Feb 01 '24

Whitebeard wasn't a buccaneer, just a really big dude. Tom, Kyross and Cobra seem like they were pretty good dad's too, well at least we weren't shown them being dicks anyway.

u/noideawhatimdoingv Feb 01 '24

Whitebeard and Kuma look a lot similar. same large frame, the jaw, and incredible physical strength (although this doesn't amount to much). It's hard to believe that's a coincidence from Oda when these 2 are the only ones with that specific jaw shape.

and I legit forgot about the other 3.

u/BigBadRash Feb 01 '24

Is that just because they're huge though? Because Whitebeard isn't the only abnormally large human we've encountered. Off the top of my head you also have Kaido, Big Mom, BB, Jack, queen and king, moria and probably a bunch others that I can't think of right now.

He very well could have been a buccaneer, but I can't see that being a change Oda will make as it won't really add anything to the story. I'll admit I've never paid enough attention to the jaw shapes to know if anyone else has that jaw shape, but that's a weak point to base your theory on imo.

I had forgotten about them too until I seen your comment and started to really think about any other dad's that we'd seen. I wanted to include Garp because he seems to want the best for his children/grandchildren, but I don't know if his parenting methods would allow him to be considered a good dad.

u/NihilisticAbsurdity Feb 01 '24

in an EXTREMELY dangerous world like that of One Piece, I feel like Garp's parenting methods are pretty justified.

1

u/BigBadRash Feb 01 '24

That's why I also kind of wanted to put him, but all the other examples of good dads have made some pretty tough kids without being as harsh, granted not quite as tough as Garps family though.

u/noideawhatimdoingv Feb 01 '24

Not just because they are huge but I feel like they are very similar in looks and temperament. it's just my theory though. it's not real until Oda confirms it in one of the SBS or in the manga itself though.

and I definitely would not consider Garp a good dad from what we've seen with Luffy and Ace. Dadan is a better dad than Garp. maybe he was a lot better with Dragon but we don't know.

u/BigBadRash Feb 01 '24

That was all in the name of love though! He knows how much of a tough world it is out there and he was just preparing them for a life on the sea!

u/CaptFredricks Pirate Feb 02 '24

Kaido is part Oni, King is Lunarian, and Jack is part Fishman.

u/BigBadRash Feb 02 '24

You're right, I completely forgot they were all mixed race. I think the rest still stand as just randomly large people. Oden was also pretty huge for a human.

1

u/SomePoliticalViolins Pirate Feb 02 '24

Just wanted to point out that a bunch of those are not normal humans.

Kaido

Oni

Big Mom

Could be human but I'm honestly leaning on the side of her being an offshoot of giants or even a Vegapunk experiment. I doubt we get too much info from her but if we do, I don't think she'll turn out 100% human.

BB

BB is nowhere near the size of the others; He's 11 feet tall, which is huge, but Whitebeard is 21 feet and Big Mom is around 29 feet tall. Also, he's pretty much been foreshadowed to have an "unusual body" to begin with, even beyond the other characters in the series.

Jack

Fish-Man

Queen

This one is actually valid. Motherfucker is 20 feet tall and from what I can tell, he was that way back in his MADS days, and was even big as a kid. No clue why, unless his parents were scientists that experimented on him/his mom.

King

Lunarian

Moria

This one I think is also valid, though he is the least human-like human in the whole series I'm pretty sure. Especially considering I'm not even sure his Devil Fruit changed his appearance...

2

u/BigBadRash Feb 02 '24

Kaido, jack and king I forgot were mixed race. Big mom is human, it just said she was abnormally large for a child so fit in with the giants. Considering she's pretty much the same age as vegapunk and has been stupidly big her whole life, I think that's just her. Of course she could be part giant, but given how giants were the one race she didn't have in her family, it doesn't sound like she considered herself one at all.

My was just that it's not like size alone is the best indicator of race. Oda just draws people as big as he wants to.

u/Tronz413 Feb 02 '24

Kyros was a Chad of a dad too

u/DemonCyborg27 Feb 01 '24

Same man 🥲, just seeing this line brought tears to my heart.

u/Nitr09025 Feb 01 '24

Kuma easy became one of my favorite characters.

I'm a father and can confirm to have cried in this chapter.

u/NoBrainyourDumb Feb 01 '24

I’m not a father and can confirm to have cried in this chapter

u/kennfabio Feb 01 '24

And Vegapunk is best uncle in the series.

u/ConfusionPublic6730 Feb 02 '24

hes at least toy soldier/khyros level

u/swagkagesama Feb 03 '24

And the best thing is, Kuma isn't her biological father as well. Our guy Kuma is the epitome of feelings
