  • Kuma will team up to escape in the next episode

One Piece Episode 1129 marked the beginning of Bartholomew Kuma's flashback. For months, fans were waiting for it to start, as they wanted to know whether Toei Animation would do it justice. The first episode was impressive, and it doesn't seem that Toei Animation is going to take its foot off the gas.

One Piece Episode 1129 started with Saint. Jaygarcia's assault on Egghead Island. The Godhead of Science and Defense was forced to get involved in the mission to eliminate Dr. Vegapunk and his satellites.

Bartholomew Kuma's Flashback Is Going To Change The Anime Forever

Kuma's Life Was Ruined By The Celestial Dragons

For years, Bartholomew Kumar was considered nothing more than a side villain who was going to have very limited involvement in the series. However, the Egghead arc is going to change the perception of fans. In Episode 1129, fans learned about Kuma's lineage. He was confirmed to be a part of the Buccaneer race, which made enemies of the World Government due to their actions.

Kuma's father, Clapp, was also a Buccaneer, and the World Government didn't waste time sending Cipher Pol agents after learning of his existence. Clapp begged them to leave his wife and his kids alone, but they refused. Ultimately, Kuma and his parents ended up as slaves in Marijoa. To make matters worse, they were separated and given to different Celestial Dragons.

Not long after being torn apart, Kuma lost his mother. Clapp tried to cheer him up with the dance performed by those who believed in Nika, the warrior of liberation. Unfortunately, he was shot dead by a Celestial Dragon who found him noisy. After dealing with two massive setbacks, Kuma was selected to be a target in the Native Hunting Competition of the Celestial Dragons. They considered Kuma a major attraction as he was part of the Buccaneer race.

One Piece Episode 1130 will dive deeper into the God Valley Incident and likely reveal what other events took place on the island. In the preview for Episode 1130, fans saw Whitebeard, Roger, and Big Mom. So, it's obvious that they will play a crucial role in the episode. However, it will not reveal all the fights that occurred on God Valley.

Many fans are eager to see the battles unfold in Episode 1130, but it would be remiss not to mention that the main attraction is still going to be Kuma. Towards the end of the previous episode, Kuma met Ivankov and Ginny, who were also trying to escape from the island. So, it is plausible to assume that the three will work together to make it happen.

Normally, the trio wouldn't have succeeded in accomplishing their goal, but the arrival of the Rocks Pirates will give them the distraction needed to slip away. After escaping from the island, Kuma will need to find a place to restart his life. So, that will be something fans need to keep an eye out for.
