One Piece fans eagerly await the release of chapter 1095, anticipating significant developments in the story surrounding the character of Kuma. The ongoing Egghead arc has heavily focused on Kuma and his family. Currently, Bonney accompanies the Straw Hat Pirates, while Kuma embarks on his journey to Egghead. The intensity of the situation heightens as a long-awaited flashback delves into Kuma's past, providing insights into his race known as the Buccaneer race. Fans have gained substantial knowledge about their lifestyle and unique abilities.
The Buccaneer Race And Their Origins
The Buccaneer race, believed to have existed in the One Piece world in ancient times, was a powerful group allied with the Ancient Kingdom. In One Piece chapter 1095, Saturn tells Bonney that Kuma, a member of the Buccaneer race, belongs to this rare lineage. During a flashback, Kuma beats his chest like drums while sharing the legend of Nika with Bonney, expressing his desire to be a Warrior of Liberation like Nika and bring aid to those in need.
In the present timeline, Saturn reveals that the Buccaneer race comprises individuals with giant's blood, making them enormous in size and incredibly strong. Saturn implies that the Buccaneer race committed a serious offense in the past, likely against the World Government, leading to their alienation. Remarkably, this extraordinary race survives to this day, although their lives took a turn for the worse approximately 47 years ago.
The Buccaneer Race On Sorbet Kingdom
In One Piece chapter 1095, it is revealed that Kuma's father, the former King of the Sorbet Kingdom, belonged to the Buccaneer race. However, his mother was a regular human, making Kuma a hybrid of both races. Despite being half-human, Kuma inherited his father's Buccaneer blood, which was discovered when tests were conducted on him after his birth. Unfortunately, this information was leaked and eventually reached the attention of the World Government, resulting in Kuma's entire family being enslaved in the holy land of Marijoa. Consequently, Kuma also became a slave. Following the death of his mother, Kuma's father informed him about the legend of Nika and the Warrior of Liberation, which had been passed down through generations of their family. It is evident that the Buccaneer people were once allies of the Ancient Kingdom and fought alongside them in the war against the 20 Kingdoms.
The God Valley 38 Years Ago
Kuma's father further demonstrated the resonating beat of liberation through drums, captivating his son's senses. Tragically, his life was abruptly extinguished when a callous Celestial Dragon silenced him forever, deeming his music an intolerable disturbance. Miraculously, Kuma survived this senseless act of violence and, to this day, remains the sole surviving descendant of the Buccaneer race known to the world.
The epic tale of the Buccaneer race continues to unfold in the mystical realm of God Valley, where deep connections are forged. Astonishing revelations unveil a perplexing tradition orchestrated by the mighty Celestial Dragons every 3 years. In this fateful event, slaves hailing from diverse races are plucked from their lives and cast onto an enigmatic island. What follows is a harrowing tournament, where these unfortunate souls become prey, relentlessly pursued by their captors. Consequently, countless lives are extinguished in this haunting contest, leaving only a solitary victor to claim survival. Strikingly, it was precisely 38 years ago when this ruthless competition descended upon God Valley, coinciding with the enigmatic God Valley Incident.
On a specific day, slaves were granted freedom on God Valley, and Kuma managed to escape. This event corresponds to Bonney's initial flashback seen by fans. Although he attempted to flee, Kuma was recaptured by the other slaves to avoid punishment. However, during this time, two members of the Revolutionary Army appeared before him. These individuals were Emporio Ivankov, the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Grand Line Army, and a woman named Ginny. Together, they came to Kuma's aid, offering him a chance at a new life.
The Revolutionary Army possessed extensive knowledge about the Buccaneer race, which is why they saved Kuma. Recognizing his immense size and the presence of giant blood in his veins, Ivankov proposed an opportunity for Kuma to survive. This ultimately led Kuma to join the Revolutionary Army, becoming one of its three core members.
The Escape Of Kuma, The Last Buccaneer
Kuma, the final known member of the Buccaneer race, managed to escape from his captors, though the details are unknown. The chapter concluded with Ivankov offering assistance, but it is evident that Kuma somehow found a way to flee. In this flashback, fans will uncover the full truth about Bartholomew Kuma, which will also be connected to the significant God Valley Incident that occurred on the same island in the same year.
It is uncertain whether Kuma and the Revolutionary Army escaped before the arrival of the Rocks Pirates in God Valley, or if they participated in the ensuing battle. The specifics remain unclear, but upcoming chapters will provide clarification. Regardless of the sequence of events, Kuma becomes the sole surviving member of the Buccaneer race and chooses to affiliate himself with the Revolutionary Army. Later in the story, Kuma willingly surrenders to the government for reasons currently unknown to fans, though it is likely linked to Bonney herself.
With Bonney joining Egghead and Kuma also making his way, this arc is becoming increasingly intense and emotionally charged. Fans are eagerly anticipating the continuation of this flashback, although they will have to endure another week-long break first.
One Piece is available for official and free reading by fans through Viz Media. Fans can access the series on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter, One Piece 1095, is scheduled for October 15, 2023.
