Imagine if while exploring different islands for a cure, Kuma accidentally found the One Piece, and was like "No, that's not what I'm looking for."

[TheWarmachine]

Bekori: *keeps coming back*

Kuma: "How many times do I have to teach you this lesson, old man?!"

[TheWarmachine]

Kuma visiting all the islands where the Straw Hats were sent there and underwent their two years of training was mind blowing.

Kumas backstory is making other bad backstories look like fairy tales

[ramadhanbenny]

imagine the kindest person you'll ever meet, never angry at anything, was given a reason to wear Guts' berserker armor

[passablebard]

Anyone else clock that the first page had King Becori saying "One has to have the heart to do the devil's work" in reference to making the Celestial Dragons happy. Then at the very end of the chapter Kuma says "I would have made a deal with the devil himself" in order to save Bonnie, just before a smash cut to Saint Saturn. Can you say, "framing"

[TheWarmachine]

It's hilarious that Kuma roasted Vegapunk for calling him a human with different size while the big brain scientist has the biggest head.

[TheWarmachine]

Kuma: "I'm a Pacifist."

Bekori: *exists*

Kuma: "COWABUNGA IT IS."

[nara-yana]

[5:02] My personal headcannon for why *Bonney* gets similar to *Queen Connie* when in "Granny mode" would be that she needed a mental image first _("how would I look if I was a granny?")_ in order to age up that much, so meeting Connie at that moment kinda gave her said image - like how she can do an alternate future version of herself as Kuma's biological daughter and thus a Bucaneer. Her standard _"estimated age of 24"_ mode seems to work differently, tho, as it seems to just be her *trying to be in her best possible shape, * thus peak age for performance?

[arsonist]

The ending really got to me, Kuma here thinks his clones will be used to save people, but all we've seen them do is kill and destroy, we never see them putting themselves in the way of a bullet to protect a civilian, or helping out after a natural disaster or anything like that.

[vuminhdang]

This chapter was the most emotion I think we have ever seen from Dragon. The revolutionaries really have a wholesome relationship

[HanaNoMaude]

I like the idea that Bonney’s fruit found its way to her, a girl who most desired to change her age so she could “get better” BUT what surprises me is how little reaction I’ve seen to Dragon’s winds of fate line, especially since his little chest bump comes complete with a puff of air in the panel. Would expect to see fans clamoring over mythical Zoan/Logia DF theories again

[hooligansauce]

King Becori mentioning the Goa kingdom as inspiration for his plans that pushed Kuma over the edge to overthrow him shows just how deeply interconnected this chapter is going to be right from the beginning.

[sansskeleton]

i quite like the lack of attention given to bonney eating the toshi toshi no mi, actually, because it really reminds you that, outside the grand line, these *are* just special fruits that *can* quite literally grow on trees, as rare as it is. they’re not always the ope ope no mi that’s passed through hands for obscene amounts of money. there’s always gonna be one person who just stumbles across one

[Deode-dh]

"One man revolution of Sorbet" was a badass line. On other chapter revelations, Bonney just somehow finding the Toshi Toshi no Mi and eating it accidentally? Weird move by Oda, I wonder if there's anything deeper about that event or if it's really as mundane as it seems.

Edit: King Bekori has some resilience that I was not expecting, really gives Wapol vibes.

[xand]

The origins of the Pacifista and its name pulled some strings in my heart knowing and seeing how they became in the future. Now, hearing the name Pacifista spreads fear among people not just pirates.

[hunterhernandez]

King Bekori being inspired by the burning of the Grey Terminal in the Goa Kingdom was a nice touch

[Entei]

The scene of Kuma visiting the places that he sent the Straw Hats really made me wonder if he'd ever been to Amazon Lilly at some point? Cause it otherwise seems that he can only send people to places he's been before. Either way though it never ceases to amaze me how well Oda can tie everything together and make things relevant long after we all thought we were done with them, and more often than not it ends up making perfect sense.

[Blackpl]

I like this situation where Vegapunk calls Kuma "Saint" for his good deeds, when the conversation is overheard by Saturn, who cannot be called "Saint" after all the things he has done. He only has a title among the Celestial Dragons. And Oda compares them a bit in terms of this title and morality, who can actually be called a saint.

[young_raymond]

I think the implication was that Belo Betty was already the de facto leader of the Eastern forces, they just didn't want to formalise it without Kuma's consent. Obviously it wouldn't make sense logistically to have no command structure in the east just for the sake of honouring Ginny.
