Despite being perceived as the most dutiful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Kuma still held enough of his convictions to adamantly refuse to directly address Marines as high-ranked as Admiral Kizaru. Kuma was shown to be a brilliant agent of deception, managing to successfully manipulate the World Government from discovering his true affiliation towards the Revolutionary Army for several years, managing to be appointed to the position of Warlord of the Sea (though it does appear that they did eventually become suspicious enough of Kuma to compromise his identity as a double-agent and force him to accept a permanent lobotomy). Since we have a connection, I want to help this group (the Straw Hat Pirates) escape. He also whispered a message to Silvers Rayleigh during the battle at the Sabaody Archipelago, which the old pirate believes puts the other man at risk. The details behind his transformation into a " Pacifista" and what exactly it entails are still unknown.
There are still several mysteries behind Kuma's character. Due to his refusal to assist the Marines without a direct order, Kuma did not hesitate to lie when it came to his victory over the Straw Hats at Sabaody Archipelago. This can be seen when he declines to answer a direct question from Admiral Kizaru during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc. However, Kuma's loyalty does not extend to the Marines. He even goes so far as to speculate that Blackbeard's acceptance into the Warlord ranks had been a very poor decision by the government, despite the fact that it filled the position left by Crocodile's defeat. Instead, Kuma strives to uphold his own ideals (described as Moral Justice) whenever possible. He also tends to ask a person where they would like to go on a holiday before he sends them away with his Devil Fruit ability, often honoring the recipient's request, but will occasionally send them to a place of his own choosing regardless of whether or not he received a reply.Īlthough he obeys the commands of the World Government, Kuma disagrees with what his superiors deem "good" and "evil" in the world. When talking, Kuma customarily uses the word target in his sentences. Gallery Main Seriesĭespite his imposing figure and his past reputation, Bartholomew Kuma is a very calm and quiet person. He wore tattered clothing and wooden sandals carrying a heavy load of chopped firewood on his back while reading a book called "Ninokin". Kuma had short hair and was missing his bear ears hat, glasses, and cybernetic enhancements he receives later on.
In SBS Volume 63, Oda drew the Seven Warlords as children. It's unknown if he has the "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon" burnt onto him like all other slaves of the World Nobles have.
Due to his subsequent enslaving at Mary Geoise, he now wears rags similar to the ones Jean Bart once wore when he was a slave as well. In Unlimited Cruise, Kuma's jacket is brown.Īfter the timeskip, Kuma's cybernetic armor has become heavily damaged, with several weapons jutting out of his body, fruit of his mission to protect the Thousand Sunny from attackers for two years. Later still, on Volume 90, Kuma's hair was changed to black, matching his depiction in the anime. Later in the manga chapters, his coat was changed from orange to blue, though the rest of his design remained untouched. Kuma's hair was shown to be brown, his jacket bright orange, and his hat yellow with green spots. In the manga, Oda originally intended for Kuma to have a completely different color scheme. In the anime, Kuma's hair and jacket are black, and his hat is gray with black paw-like prints.
He bears the tattoo "PX-0" on the left side of the base of his throat, after the final touches were done on him becoming a complete cyborg before the Summit War of Marineford. There are also several white paw prints lining the bottom hem of his coat. His jacket contains a large white design reminiscent of a target cross-hair or a coda sign. His hat features a pair of rounded ears, and, along with the dark blue fabric of his pants, is covered in brown spots. While initially, he will give the impression of wearing glasses, it seems that, based on the Pacifista that were destroyed, those are actually his own eyes. His eyes are strangely covered by either a pair of glasses or clear-mirrored lenses. His overall appearance resembles that of a bear, though there are a few key differences. He is the tallest of the Warlords (being three centimeters shorter than a former member Gecko Moria) and is usually seen carrying a Bible. Kuma is an enormous man, being 689 cm tall.
