About
Bartholomew Kuma is one of the most tragic figures in One Piece—a former Revolutionary Army commander and Warlord of the Sea who wielded the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, allowing him to repel anything he touches at the speed of light, including abstract concepts like pain and fatigue. Under a deal with the World Government, he allowed himself to be converted into a mindless Pacifista weapon called PX-0, erasing his personality entirely—but not before secretly programming himself to protect the Straw Hats' ship on Sabaody for three years. His self-sacrifice and the eventual restoration of his free will via Vegapunk's technology make his arc one of the series' most heart-wrenching.
What Fans Say
Kuma is one of One Piece's most quietly devastating character studies. His voluntary conversion into a mindless Pacifista to protect the Straw Hats remains one of the series' most heartbreaking acts of sacrifice. His restored humanity through Bonney's power is one of the Egghead arc's most anticipated moments.
