One Piece chapter 1098 opens with the focus on the Revolutionary Army’s headquarters in Baltigo. They receive a request for assistance with the Toomi uprising in the South Blue. Ivankov explains that they are busy tending to the wounded in the Goa Kingdom and are unable to go. However, Kuma volunteers to go in their place. Ivankov advises him to be cautious, mentioning his recklessness ever since Ginny's capture.

Suddenly, Kuma appears in the Toomi Kingdom, surprising everyone present. A brief flashback reveals that Kuma learned about Ginny's capture, where she was taken as a bride by a Celestial Dragon. The chapter further discloses that Kuma successfully helps end the three-year-long Toomi uprising.

One Piece chapter 1098 unveils the truth behind Ginny's capture. Her unit was taken by surprise, leading to her capture, while the Marines become aware of the triumphant Toomi uprising. Within the Kingdom, a Revolutionary Army flag is raised, while Kuma informs Dragon that he is too exhausted to teleport and must return by ship.

In the next scene, Kuma is shown sailing on a ship while another ship is seen with a crying baby on board. The baby is called Bonney by an unidentified person. The narrator informs that two years have passed since Ginny was abducted and forced to marry a Celestial Dragon. In Baltigo, someone informs Kuma that Ginny is on the line, and she informs him that she has finally made it back to the surface.

In Chapter 1098 of One Piece, Ginny reveals that she was thrown out because she was sick, considering it a stroke of luck. Confused, Kuma asks her what she means by being sick. Ginny explains that she wants to see everyone one last time, making this call their final goodbye. Excitedly, Kuma expresses that he can instantly teleport to her location, confessing that he was afraid he would never see her again.

Ginny then expresses her apologies to Kuma, mentioning that she is in a critical condition. Despite appreciating his concern for her, she advises him not to visit her in her current state. Furthermore, Ginny requests Dragon and Ivankov to look after Kuma, while Kuma begins to depart and states that there is only one destination she would head towards. In an attempt to convey her everlasting love for him, Ginny tries to inform Kuma, but unfortunately, he cannot hear her since he has already embarked on his journey.

In One Piece chapter 1068, Kuma arrives at the Sorbet Kingdom and seeks out Ginny. The elders confirm her presence but reveal that something strange happened to her in the natural light. Her entire face and body turned blue, and her skin became hard as stone. In the church where they once lived together, Kuma finds Ginny's lifeless body, reminiscing about their time together as he grieves and wonders about her fate.

The elders then explain that despite her condition, Ginny used her remaining time alive to cross the ocean and return home to ensure her baby's safety. With tears in his eyes, Kuma assures Ginny that she can rest in peace now, promising to raise their daughter, Bonney, with utmost care. As Bonney cries in the background, Kuma lovingly buries Ginny's body.

Seeking guidance in raising Bonney, Kuma turns to the elders for help. They generously offer him tips and advice on how to properly care for the child.

One Piece chapter 1098 showcases Kuma's observation about Bonney's excessive consumption of milk, implying that she may inherit her mother Ginny's love for food. Jumping ahead in time, the following panels depict Bonney's first instance of addressing Kuma as her father, her initial steps in walking, and her eating habits. These panels also reveal that both Kuma and the elders take care of her, as Kuma tries to balance his time between Ginny and his responsibilities within the Revolutionary Army.

Additionally, Kuma can be seen training a young Sabo before he later boards up all the windows and doors of the church. Upon discovering a blue stone similar to the one on Ginny's skin forming under Bonney's eye, he instructs those present to close the door. Concerned, they seek medical assistance, prompting a doctor to suggest taking Bonney outside. However, Kuma dismisses this suggestion, while another doctor confirms that it is not Amber Lead Syndrome, although she is familiar with the condition.

One Piece chapter 1096 reveals that Kuma has shared some significant news with Ivankov and Dragon. In a surprising turn of events, Kuma announces his decision to resign from the Revolutionary Army. The reason behind this unexpected move is Bonney's unfortunate contraction of her mother's disease. Despite knowing that leaving the Revolutionary Army may not be the right course of action, Kuma feels compelled to remain by Bonney's side during this difficult time. Dragon sympathizes with Kuma's dilemma and assures him of his support. In fact, Dragon pledges to leverage his extensive network to contact every doctor in the world, in order to seek the best medical assistance for Bonney.

In the earlier events, seven years before the present, a five-year-old Bonney is shown chasing some children out of the church. The kids mockingly refer to her as a vampire and attempt to frighten her with a cross. However, Bonney reminds them that they are inside a church before fiercely kicking and pursuing them. Despite her determination, Kuma intervenes and advises her not to venture outside and to avoid the door. In chapter 1098 of One Piece, Bonney playfully claims that she was only joking but promises to stop her activities as she dislikes seeing Kuma sad and worried for her. She expresses frustration about the children teasing her about her jewelry and playfully pokes at her stones, mentioning that she cannot control their appearance. Kuma sympathetically suggests that the others may be envious of her beautiful jewelry.

Kuma expresses his admiration for Bonney's jewels, which flatters her. He then asks her where she would like to travel once she recovers, and she reveals her desire to visit the sky islands she had read about. Bonney suggests that they might encounter Nika there, as the sky islands are in close proximity to the sun. This prompts Kuma to burst into song and dance to the captivating rhythm of the Drums of Liberation. In One Piece chapter 1098, Kuma shares enchanting stories of the legendary Nika with his beloved adopted daughter, Bonney (Image via Toei Animation).

In One Piece chapter 1098, another doctor arrives and claims that Bonney's illness, the Sapphire Scale, is incurable. The doctor sadly informs her that she may have another five years left to live, even if she avoids natural light. Unknown to the doctor, Bonney overhears this conversation and mistakenly believes that her disease will be cured by her 10th birthday.

Kuma, unwilling to reveal the truth to his daughter, reluctantly agrees with her mistaken belief. He is left feeling uncertain about what he should do. A year later, it is revealed that King Bekori has returned to terrorize the Sorbet Kingdom. The elders turn to Kuma for assistance, reminding him of a similar situation 16 years ago. This event marks the end of the chapter.

One Piece chapter 1098: In summation

Chapter 1098 of One Piece is an outstanding installment that deepens Kuma's tragic backstory in a meaningful and important manner. The introduction of Bonney is also remarkably well-executed, providing sufficient explanation for Kuma's decision to care for her despite their lack of familial ties. Additionally, the story cleverly withholds information about Ginny's Celestial Dragon husband, leaving it open to be revealed later as either a Gorosei or a Holy Knight. Many fans speculate that Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, Bonney's father and Ginny's ex-husband, is the most likely candidate.
