One Piece Episode 1107 revealed Kuma's backstory with a painful flashback as Bonney witnessed her father's suffering and fans were moved to tears.
One Piece is getting closer to Kuma's tragic story. Amid the chaos in Egghead, Bonney witnesses his father's memories. Kuma and Vegapunk never wanted her to know, but that didn't stop her from knowing the truth.
However, Kuma had an extremely difficult life due to his race. His backstory reveals the darkest and most brutal side of the World Government. As a former slave and revolutionary, he has always been a target of the World Government.
Kuma died as a human, although his body was still functional. The process of turning him into a Pacifista is probably complete and there is no more humanity left, only a weapon.

Bonney saw little Kuma crying and tried to get close to him. However, she saw a lot of people attacking him. They are trying to take him somewhere but Kuma begs to let him go. Bonney watched all this helplessly and tried to save him, but it was only his memory so she couldn't do anything. The background music and Okamoto Nobuhiko's voice-over make the scene more heartbreaking than ever.
One fan said: “What makes anime more painful is the music and how much of an impact it can actually make.”
Another fan shared: “The anime has done a great job on Kuma's content, both in terms of direction and animation.” Another user added: “We've only seen a little over 1% of Kuma's flashback and I'm already in tears. How can I survive the rest?”
The One Piece anime just aired Episode 1107, adapting Chapter 1075 from the manga. Kuma's storyline officially begins in Chapter 1095. So, judging by the anime's pacing, we have more than five months before the flashbacks begin.
