In Chapter 1102, Saint Saturn forced Dr. Vegapunk to put a self-destruct switch in Kuma
One Piece chapter 1102 kicked off with Bonney and her crew's journey to becoming notorious and infamous, ultimately earning them a spot among the Worst Generation. Despite their efforts, they always seemed to fall just short of Kuma. Interspersed with this was Luffy's own rise to infamy, the development of the Pacifista, and the final stages of Kuma's operation.
The chapter proceeded to detail the events of the Thriller Bark and Sabaody Archipelago arcs. It was disclosed that Kuma had observed Bonney in the restaurant during her introduction scene in the latter arc, but ultimately chose not to approach her. Kuma’s thoughts while separating the Straw Hat crew were also uncovered, affirming his well-meaning intentions.
Additionally, it was revealed in the chapter that Saint Saturn had compelled Dr. Vegapunk to implant a self-destruct switch in Kuma as a precaution in case of rebellion. Despite Dr. Vegapunk's initial objections, he ultimately acquiesced under duress.
Kuma then conveyed to Dr. Vegapunk his great expectations for Luffy's future, followed by presenting the memory bubble as promised. The chapter concluded with a glimpse of Kuma's last moments before transitioning back to an earlier point in the Egghead arc, after Bonney had found the bubble.
What to expect (speculative)?
In One Piece chapter 1103, the battered and broken Kuma is expected to make an appearance to come to Bonney's rescue, adding to the suspense and excitement. After the conclusion of Kuma’s flashback, the chapter may feature a brief mini flashback showing Bonney’s emotional reaction to her father’s memories, leading to a conversation with Dr. Vegapunk as she seeks answers about the possibility of bringing her father back once and for all.
Stay tuned for more updates on the latest One Piece anime, manga, movies, and live-action news as we move further into 2023. In Chapter 1103, we can expect to see the continuation of the events on Egghead Island, where Bonney and the Straw Hats are still in Saint Saturn's clutches. Fans are speculating that Kuma may come to the rescue in time to save his daughter, and there's also the possibility of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet making an appearance, as previously theorized.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic One Piece fan, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Chapter 1103. The previous chapter left us with a gripping cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. I am particularly excited about the potential for a Bonney flashback, as it would provide more insight into her character and her relationship with Kuma. Additionally, I am curious to see how the Straw Hats will navigate the dangerous situation they find themselves in, and whether they will receive assistance from the Grand Fleet.
The revelation about Kuma's self-destruct switch adds an even greater sense of urgency to the situation, and I am eager to see how Bonney and Dr. Vegapunk will work together to find a way to save him. Overall, I have high expectations for Chapter 1103 and believe it will be a pivotal moment in the Egghead Island arc.
