Did Bartholomew Kuma know all along Monkey D. Luffy ate the Nika fruit?
It makes sense the World Government would send their most “loyal” Warlord to investigate. And that would also explain why Kuma helped the Straw Hats several times throughout their journey. Kuma basically put his cybernetic faith in Sun God Nika/Luffy to eventually bring joy to the world. Hmm… Is that why Kuma’s currently flying to Egghead Island? To help Luffy one last time? What a bro!
So, we can assume Jewelry Bonney escaped the World Government to look for her father after he joined the Warlords full-time (He gets dental insurance, so it’s not all bad.), and in response, they put a bounty on her head. Makes sense to me. And I bet you she escaped by pretending to be Queen Conney. Simple, yet effective.
Admiral Kizaru. He’s seen first hand what jerks the Five Elders are. He’s been ordered to kill a friend. Hmm… You know what? I first assumed the Egghead Arc will end with Saint Saturn’s death. Now, I think Admiral Kizaru’s on borrowed time. I can see Kizaru disobeying Saturn and getting killed for it. Think about it. One of the top leaders of the World Government is there and has the power to take down a Navy Admiral. All Saturn has to do is blame Kizaru’s death on Luffy and that’s that.
This was a good chapter! It’s no surprise but it’s still emotional seeing Kuma sacrifice his humanity to save Bonney. It reminds me of the time I took a red shell for my team in Mario Kart. Except in wasn’t a team match. And it was a blue shell seconds before I would’ve crossed the finish line. Damn you Saturngirl115! I’ll never forget and I’ll never forgive!
