One Piece Chapter 1100: Kuma's Flashback Concludes, Teasing Luffy's Upcoming Encounter

Fans had been anticipating a major revelation to conclude the flashback, but very few had predicted the surprising turn of events in One Piece chapter 1100. If Shueisha's official release confirms this information, it could indicate an earlier encounter between Luffy and Kuma than previously thought, potentially taking place before the events of the Thriller Bark and Sabaody Archipelago arcs.

Chapter 1100 of One Piece starts with the surprise appearance of Admiral Kizaru on Egghead Island. He announces that his visit is for important business and reveals that Dr. Vegapunk overlooked the spy Transponder Snails in the room, resulting in higher-ups discovering his secret deal with Kuma. Saint Jaygarcia Saturn reprimands Dr. Vegapunk for the questionable alliance with Kuma, highlighting the pirate's hefty 300 million Beri bounty and expressing disapproval of having a wanted criminal as the face of their clone program. However, Saturn states that they will honor the deal under three conditions, including Kuma becoming a Shichibukai, which would create a vacancy in the group.

Dr. Vegapunk quickly opposes the idea, arguing that it would essentially result in Kuma's death, leaving them with nothing but a robot. Saturn, emphasizing Dr. Vegapunk's position as a Marine scientist, insists that Kuma must agree to the conditions in order to save his daughter.

In One Piece chapter 1100, Saturn dismisses the small price in comparison to the financial cost of the surgery and argues that they are not obligated to help Bonney otherwise. Despite Dr. Vegapunk's objections, Kuma tearfully agrees, expressing joy at finally finding a cure for Bonney. Saturn then asks Dr. Vegapunk about the timeline for Kuma and Bonney's surgeries.

Dr. Vegapunk has stated that Bonney's surgery will require six months, followed by a year of recovery. In contrast, Kuma's surgeries will take a minimum of two years. Kuma optimistically anticipates Bonney's full recovery by her tenth birthday, but Saturn raises doubts about Kuma's obedience once Bonney is cured.

In One Piece chapter 1100, Saturn reveals that the World Government plans to hold Bonney hostage until Kuma’s personality is erased. Dr. Vegapunk notes this means Kuma won’t see Bonney after she’s cured, which Saturn confirms. Saturn adds that any contact between them after Bonney is cured will be forbidden, and anyone who defies these orders will become a slave. Despite knowing the horrors of being a slave to the Celestial Dragons, Kuma agrees to these conditions, requesting only that Bonney isn’t told the truth about her situation. He also asks that Bonney be returned to the Sorbet Kingdom to live in the church she grew up in. Kuma promises to obey without question if Saturn agrees to his terms and won’t seek her out.

One Piece chapter 1100 reveals Saturn's agreement to the World Government's surveillance, regardless of her location. Kuma deceives Bonney about their six-month stay on Egghead Island, but she is nonetheless thrilled and happily explores the island with her father.

Dr. Vegapunk is enthusiastically jotting down his ideas, expressing his desire for multiple clones to handle mundane tasks like eating, using the bathroom, and more. This concept eventually evolved into the renowned Vegapunk Satellites adored by fans worldwide.

The surgeries of Kuma and Bonney are depicted in a montage, along with the enjoyable moments they share on Egghead during their treatments. They bond with Sentomaru, Dr. Vegapunk, and even Kizaru, culminating in a pizza party and dancing. Skipping to the end of Bonney’s surgeries in One Piece chapter 1100, Kuma personally returns her to the Sorbet Kingdom.

Bonney recounts her treatment to Queen Dowager Conney and others, with Conney offering to care for her again. Kuma expresses gratitude, explaining his inability to stay in the kingdom permanently. He assures Bonney that he will keep in touch through letters and plans to return in about a year to explore the seas together. As Kuma reflects on his desire to sail with her, Bonney's "medical team" arrives.

In the latest One Piece chapter 1100, it is revealed that they are actually a team of World Government agents, with Alpha leading the group as a CP8 agent. Alpha sets the ground rules and warns Kuma about the fragility of a child's life. Kuma acknowledges her warning and expresses his farewell to Bonney, expressing his gratitude for her existence.

In the aftermath of his debut as a Shichibukai, Kuma bids farewell to everyone. The news of his new position elicits various reactions from a number of characters, including Alvida, Koby, Nico Robin (also known as Miss All-Sunday at the time), Ace, Perona, Monkey D. Dragon, Sabo, Koala, and Hack. Despite his notoriety, Kuma writes a letter to Bonney, assuring her that he is doing well and expressing his desire to find interesting travel destinations for her when she turns 10. He also sends his well wishes to everyone at the Sorbet Kingdom. As he approaches the shocking destination of Foosha Village, Kuma hands the letter to a news coo. Meanwhile, in One Piece chapter 1100, a panel shows Luffy fleeing from a tiger, while Kuma receives new orders from the World Government.

One Piece chapter 1100: In summation

One Piece chapter 1100 marks the exciting beginning of Kuma's flashback story, which seems to be the final act. His unexpected arrival at Foosha Village during Luffy's time there is a welcome surprise for fans, who are eager for a major payoff. The chapter also effectively portrays Kuma and Bonney's farewell and the reason behind her desperate desire to bring her father back to the present. It's evident that the final stages of Kuma's origin story are now underway, though there may still be a few chapters left before its conclusion.
