In the anime community, One Piece continues to amaze fans with its deeply emotional and complex storytelling. The ongoing Egghead Arc has taken a dark and powerful turn, shedding light on the tragic backstory of Bartholomew Kuma. Once thought to be a silent, robotic soldier serving the World Government, Kuma’s origin reveals a tale far more heartbreaking than most expected—one that even surpasses the emotional weight of Star Wars’ own clone narrative.
Kuma’s story begins in pain. As a child, he was taken into slavery by the Celestial Dragons—nobles who consider themselves gods and view other humans as disposable. At just four years old, Kuma was forced to serve in Mariejois, losing his parents to the cruel system. His early life was marked by unimaginable suffering, and even after he was freed during the God Valley incident, peace was never within his reach.
What truly sets Kuma apart from characters like Jango Fett in Star Wars is the nature of his sacrifice. Jango volunteered to become the model for the Republic’s clone army, demanding only that one unaltered clone, Boba Fett, be given to him as his son. His deal, though still morally complex, was transactional. Kuma, however, had no such luxury. When his adoptive daughter, Jewelry Bonney, fell gravely ill, Kuma was forced to make a decision no parent should ever face—give up his freedom and identity in exchange for a chance to save her life.

Working with Dr. Vegapunk, Kuma slowly allowed himself to be transformed into a human weapon: the prototype for the Pacifista clone army. But unlike Fett, Kuma’s transformation came at the cost of his memories, personality, and emotions. Under the command of Saint Saturn, one of the Gorosei, Kuma became little more than a machine, his humanity stripped away in the name of science and control.
Despite all this, Kuma’s final act proves his undying love. In a critical moment, he manages to override his programming, risking everything to protect Bonney. Even though he had become a cold, mechanical figure on the outside, his love for his daughter remained untouched deep within.
The Egghead Arc has used Kuma’s story to highlight major social themes: slavery, systemic injustice, and the cost of power. Kuma is not just a single character suffering alone—he is a reflection of a world that oppresses and dehumanizes entire groups of people. As a descendant of the Buccaneer race, he faced discrimination from birth, and his transformation into a Pacifista symbolizes how the powerful often erase the identities of those they deem unworthy.

In many ways, One Piece has done what Star Wars didn’t—it made its “clone” character a central figure in a powerful emotional drama. While Star Wars explored the ethical questions of cloning in a military context, One Piece dives deeper into the emotional, personal, and societal consequences.
Through Kuma’s heartbreaking journey, Eiichiro Oda reminds us that true strength lies in love, not power. And in doing so, One Piece once again proves why it remains one of the most compelling stories in anime and manga history.

DETAILED SUMMARY OF ONE PIECE 1154
Chapter 1, 154: “Can’t even die”.
Ogre Child Yamato’s Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Vol. 38: “Please go visit the grave of the hero born in “West Blue” and raised in Ringo”. O-Cho and Kikunojo take Yamato, Ulti and Page One to a grave in ruins that we hadn’t seen before.
Chapter starts with a little summary of Big Mom incident when she was a child. Then we see that many disasters befall Elbaph. A massive snowstorm prevented crops from being harvested and giants were also unable to fish or hunt, which brought famine to Elbaph.
Baby Loki managed to return to the castle but Queen Estrid didn’t want to see him. Baby Loki tried to hug his mother (he broke the door to enter in Estrid’s room) but Estrid, full of hatred, rejected him. Baby Loki cried desperately as the soldiers took him out of the room.
Estrid: “It was all his fault!!! It’s because we didn’t kill him immediately that this nation is now cursed!! Get him out!! Never let that monster near me again!!! And destroy his eyes!! Or else everything will be cursed!! The end of this nation is closing on us!!!” Giant soldiers: “Prince Loki!! You mustn’t go near your mother’s room.” Loki: “Ahh!! Ahhhhhh!!”
Due to disasters, Elbaph was on a brink of destruction. Giants tried to attack Hajrudin because he was related to “cursed Prince Loki” but Harald returned to Elbaph just in time to help Hajrudin and Ida.
Harald: “My brothers, do not hurt each other!! The same time I received news that Loki is borne, I also heard of the famine that is raging through this nation!! I immediately discussed that issue with countries whom we have a diplomatic relationship with… And with just that they filled their ships with food!! No question asked!!! The humans are all so small compared to us..!! But several countries worked together and are delivering food that is enough to fill even the belly of us giants!! Let’s accept their help!! And eat the food with gratitude!!! And one day when they need our help, let’s give it to them all!!! It’s a small world that we all share!!!”
In an AMAZING double page wee see ton of human ships arriving to Elbaph. All of them transported massive bags full of food to help the giants.
Estrid died right before Harald came back to Elbaph (we see Harald crying at the funeral). Ida decided to moved to the “Underworld” and built a bar (where we saw Colon and Shanks in the present).
Harald was busy with developing roads to connect Elbaph villages and end all fightings in the country. So Loki grew up with Estrid’s younger brother (no name for this character yet) who also abused him. Some time later, it seems this man was killed by creatures from the “Underworld”.
To prevent more problems, giant soldiers covered Loki’s eyes claiming he had an eye disease.
Cut to 56 years ago at Jarul’s house. Harald and Jarul were talking about conflicts between giants and World Government.
Jarul: “Harald, you were at the “Levely” where THAT INCIDENT occurred!?” Harald: “Yeah… I asked a king who’s my friend to help me sneak in as a soldier. In the end my requests fell on deaf ears.…..!! If that murder didn’t occur… I may have been arrested.” Jarul: “Just being arrested would have been nothing. how ruthless. Have you heard of the story of the “Galleyra”?” (til 1 ÷” in japanese, kanjis mean “Great Hammer Warriors) Harald: “I think it was some group of tough Giant shipwrights? Some warriors with hammers? Some myth, right?” Jarul: “No, they were real…!! They sailed far beyond Elbaph, and send home a letter from where they went… The content of the letter was along the lines of “We have all been captured”. Can you believe it? Over 100 warriors, ancient giant included, all captured by someone!!!?” Harald wondered if they were captured by World Government, Jarul replied that all they can say for sure is that a great enemy existed in the past, but that part of their history was sunk deep into the ocean on a faithful day.
Jarul finished saying he heard a rumor that “Galleyra” members are “frozen” somewhere. When Jarul talks about “Galleyra” we can see in the background some of their silhouettes, and at least 2 of them are 2 of the frozen giants that Nami and Chopper saw in Punk Hazard.
Cut to 48 years ago. After the beasts incident on the villages, kid Loki jumped from the “Sun World” to the “Underworld” by himself. Loki crashed heavily to the ground, then he took out his blindfold and cried alone saying “he can’t even die”.
Suddenly, a mountain was cut in half in the distance and someone talks.
Mystery man: “What the hell is the deal with this island, where is the entrance!?”
A group of people approached Loki: Shiki, Edward Newgate, Buckingham Stussy and a mistery man.
Mystery man: “Ahh there we go!! A giant brat!! I told you we are in Elbaph.” Shiki: “Jihahaha!!! This kid has the face of a devil!!!” Newgate: “Isn’t he huge even for a giant? And is he crying right now.”
In the FUCKING EPIC final double page of the chapter, we discover that mystery man is “Rocks D. Xebec”!!!
Xebec face was very similar to Teach’s face: same eyes, nose, mouth (but Xebec still have all his teeth loool). He had spiked hair with black and white locks, wore earrings and also had a scar (or tattoo, not sure yet) on the left side of his face. He was a big guy like Teach but thinner.
Chapter ends with Xebec official presentation… Narrator: [Harald encountered this man at the “Levely” 8 years ago. During which this man escaped after killing an Admiral of the Marine Headquarter… And is currently hunt by the World Government who has placed a high bounty on his head. ]
Xebec: “All right!! Say “Yes” to both of my questions kid!! Because that is the answer I am seeking right now!! First!! Is this place “that nation of giants” called “Elbaph”!? Second!! “It’s better that Harald be here”!!!”
Rocks D. Xebec.
[Later became the Captain of Rocks Pirates (Father of Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors)]
Editor’s note: “The Legend appears!!
