Kuma: Inspired by Legends, Driven by Purpose
Kuma’s admiration for Nika, the Warrior of Liberation, has been a driving force in his life. He aspires to be a savior, a beacon of hope, just like Nika. As the Buccaneer folklore goes, Nika is destined to save them all, and Kuma believes that he can play a part in making that prophecy come true. With his daughter and the Straw Hat Pirates in peril, Kuma’s moment to shine is at hand.

By removing Luffy’s pain and exhaustion, Kuma can restore him to full health, equipping him for the imminent showdown with Saturn.
Luffy vs. Saturn: A Battle of Titans
Once revived, Luffy will face Saturn in a battle that promises to be nothing short of epic. Saturn, a formidable opponent with powers surpassing the Admirals, will test Luffy’s mettle. However, Luffy is not just any pirate; he is the Warrior of Liberation, the Sun God, and if anyone has a chance against Saturn, it’s him.
The Bigger Picture: The Egghead Incident and Beyond
While the focus is on Kuma’s rescue mission and Luffy’s battle, the Egghead Incident encompasses more than meets the eye.
