Oda really loves drawing Ginny huh. I'm not complaining cuz I quite like seeing her in the chapters 😭. Especially her romance with Kuma!!! It's so cute!!! I really hope Kuma is able to overcome his trauma of seeing his parents persecuted because of their race, so he can move ahead and be happy with Ginny instead of feeling like a burden.
Cute Ginny and Kuma moments from this chapter!!!;
no Kuma in this but like. This panel is fire so idc.
I wanna make a compilation of all the cool Ginny, Kuma and Ivankov moments when they were still in God Valley!! I think I'll do that in a different post though. Hope y'all are liking this backstory segment as much as I am!!

One Piece Manga Chapter 1097
It is confirmed that Dragon was once a Marine. A very old theory now proven.
It has not been answered if he was at God Valley, he would've been 17 at the time. Koby joined the Marine's at 16 and Luffy and Ace started their journey at 17.
He did leave the Marines after becoming disenfranchised with them, unable to carry out the Justice he felt needed to be done and disgusted by the corruption within the World Government. Suggesting he joined maybe when he was older (18-22) and was there for several years at least (leaving at most around 28-30ish).
so we still need to know what he was up to prior to joining the Marines, and how old he was when he did.

one piece chapter 1097
salute recruits and soldiers on this fresh funky Friday.
Here's a spoiler for one piece chapter 1097 , as per usual tcb-scans have the chapter in English online.
Pretty nice and obviously tragic back story to Kuma. Its obvious that slave girl/ revolutionary Ginny is Jewlery Bonneys mother at this stage.
Now my personal theory for the upcoming chapters is.... that Kuma trades and becomes a warlord working for the government...in order to save Ginny or Bonney... just my opinion.
Go and read the chapter ..enjoy

One Piece Chapters 1091-1103 Livestream Discussion/Review: A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
It has been a while since I have discussed about the One Piece Manga with the latest events in the Egghead arc, and there is a lot that happened when it came to the strawhats trying to escape along with an encounter between Bonney and St. Jaygarcia Saturn that leads us into her backstory that connects to her father Kuma.

Kuma's Kindness is too Good for this World!
As the years went by, Kuma's kindness led him to help anyone and everyone he could, leading him and Ginny to join the Revolutionary Army...
One Piece Chapter 1097 Review/Recap
The last few chapters of One Piece have been among the most exciting the manga has been since the reveal of Gear Five. After dropping hints about it throughout the current arc, Oda’s finally revealing the backstory of Bartholomew Kuma. Calling it a tear-jerker would be an understatement. From his enslavement by the Celestial Dragons to his meeting of Ivankov…

One Piece Chapter 1097 - Ginny; Thoughts, Discussions and Speculations
Cover Page:
I gotta start off by saying, Kuma is HIM. I don't usually use the word gigachad but like. Kuma is genuinely the definition of a chad. EVEN HIS CHIN IS THE GIGACHAD CHIN. The way he carries everyone on his back without second thought has genuinely been so awe inspiring throughout this entire backstory.
The Themes and Narratives Surrounding Kuma:
Also, not to mention, his character seems heavily inspired by Jesus. He has heavy Christian themes surrounding him, he lives in a church, and he uses his fruit to take upon himself the pain of other people. I wonder if his story is gonna be a parallel of Jesus' life... (Perhaps Kuma carries the pain of all the Straw Hats like a cross??? WHAT IF HE REVIVES AFTER DEATH??? If that's the direction Oda is going with his character then I can't contain my excitement.)
The panel of Kuma taking on THE SAME AMOUNT OF PAIN THAT ZORO TOOK, LITERALLY EVERY WEEK makes the entire incident at Thriller Bark so much more impactful than it already was.
I'm especially curious about the "Hands of Liberation" remark... do y'all think that perhaps there are Devil Fruits which serve as accompaniments to the Nika fruit? Because some of the fruits are clearly more relevant to the entire Joyboy narrative than others... (Imagine if there were several God fruits, which bring different Gods into the same universe... Like Jesus, Zeus, Krishna, Allah and so on. That would be super cool for me idk 😭).
I think that Kuma's character could go in two or three directions. He could reach egghead and stop Saturn with the stored up pain, killing himself in the process. He could awaken his fruit and restore the deleted Bonney memories, while becoming a God himself. He could also just show up to disperse the Straw Hats again, like he did at Sabaody. OR HE COULD pilot the giant robot which reacted to Joyboy's heartbeat and wreck all the Marines at Egghead.
The Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon and Ginny:
We got a lot about Dragon in this chapter too. We now know that he was a young marine at one point, before he got disillusioned and left. So Garp did actually get his son to join the Navy? This actually strengthens my belief that Akainu and Dragon were buddies back in the day. Like really good ones. Akainu, to this day, is still extremely fixated on Dragon. His sole obsession at Marineford was to kill the person he repeatedly referred to as "Dragon's son".
Another interesting thing is that 22 years ago, Dragon did not have his face markings. He did have them 14 years ago, though. Could the markings have something to do with the birth of Luffy? I genuinely can't fathom how he got those marks. Something leads me to believe that it has something to do with Shandora and Skypiea, but I have literally nothing to back that up 😭😭😭.
22 years ago:
14 years ago:
Also, I just LOVE the budding romance between Kuma and Ginny. It's a very cute relationship, which is also tragic in some ways. It's sad to see that Kuma is hesitating to be with a girl he loves because he remembers the persecution that his Buccaneer father had to face and doesn't want to let that repeat. I hope they're able to get together before the inevitable tragedy strikes though 😭😭😭.
I do still think that there's a possibility that Ginny is Bonney, instead of Bonney being the child of Ginny and Kuma. Kuma marrying Ginny at this stage, while being a pastor, just doesn't feel right to me personally.
OKAY THANKS IF YOU ACTUALLY BOTHERED TO READ THROUGH THIS ENTIRE THING. Tell me some cool theories of your own regarding Kuma and Ginny (or even Dragon). I love theorizing even though I know my theories are too subpar for Oda to incorporate 😭😭😭. Here's a random Ginny panel cuz she looks cute here.

When I see Robin crying happily, having just learned that her benefactor Saul is alive, I am reminded every time of the parallels of her story with Law's past. And I cherish the timid hope of seeing him with the same exact expression and emotions on his face 🥹 💔

Yo. “Spent time with the navy” and being part of the navy are not the same thing.
Y’all be jumping the gun without all the information. And that’s how Oda loves to write. Iva may just think he was in the navy. Garp or Dragon’s mom could have told him about it.
The official is a bit more clear. Still I’m not assuming he was an admiral. Maybe a vice.
