OFF THE COAST OF LABORATORY 8

"Cruel Fate - Kuma's Decision as a Father"

JUSTICE

I'm here on business.

It's really cold here...

It's totally different from Punk Hazard.

I'll recreate the very future of humankind here.

I'm having trouble dealing with the constant flow of new ideas!

And yet...

...you didn't know this laboratory inside out.

What brought you here?

Every conversation here was overheard.

It's not good to secretly negotiate with a pirate.

Shut up!

It's that side of you, Borsalino!

I don't like that side of you!

Look, I'm sorry...

But this is what I do...

Is this Borsalino?

Yes, I arrived.

You are there, aren't you, Vegapunk?

Yeah...

This may not concern you, Vegapunk...

...but even if Bartholomew Kuma would make an excellent base for the clone soldiers,

he is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 296 million berries.

The Navy would lose face...

...by possessing clone soldiers based on such a man.

Saving face isn't important to science!

If the cloning project succeeds, many lives will be saved!

Certainly, if your plan succeeds,

we will gain immense power.

So here are additional conditions.

The first is, Bartholomew Kuma,

you will join the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a pirate.

The other day, a rookie named Ace took down one of the Warlords,

and we have been looking for a replacement.

The world of pirates is becoming turbulent.

You would be perfect for a Warlord.

The second is,

Kuma, you will become the Navy's human weapon yourself.

What?!

You mean, I must get my body modified?

That is correct.

As a Warlord, that unique power will pose a significant threat to pirates.

That would help the Navy a lot.

Shut up, Kizaru!

Certainly.

But Kuma has a track record of being a member of the Revolutionary Army.

We do not want him to use that power against the World Government.

So the third condition...

...is that you must ultimately abandon your mind and free will.

Wait!

That's a death sentence, St. Saturn!

Is this because the other Warlords won't do what you want?!

A cyborg without free will is a soulless robot!

Are you telling me to become a murderer?!

You are in no position to argue with me.

You are the Navy's scientist.

Those are the three conditions for saving the life of a criminal's daughter.

If you cannot accept them, we have no obligation...

...to spend a fortune on surgeries to save some nameless girl.

It's dangerous for you to run in here!

This is...

...murder...

It's inhumane to perform such a modification surgery...

Vegapunk.

I want you to do it.

Kuma...

I thought he'd make impossible demands and I wouldn't be able to save Bonney!

I was on pins and needles!

Thank you.

If Bonney gets well,

I will accept any fate!

Kuma!

Sentomaru-san, about the matter we discussed...

--Yeah. --Heave-ho!

Hey!

Get back here!

Vegapunk...

How long will it take for Kuma's modification and his daughter's full treatment?

Sapphire Scales surgeries will take six months,

and she'll have to wait another year before she goes outside.

So a year and a half in total.

It'll take at least two years for Kuma's modification.

I'm so glad...

Bonney will get well before her tenth birthday!

Your daughter is essentially a hostage.

Once she recovers, you will no longer need to obey us.

I won't run!

Just to be safe,

the World Government will take custody of her after her surgeries.

Once you lose your free will, she will be granted freedom.

Then, Kuma won't get to see her after she gets well!

I guess not.

Moving forward, Kuma will undergo modification surgeries...

...while ruling the seas as a pirate from the Seven Warlords.

Once her surgeries are complete, he will be forbidden to contact her or escape.

If you violate that rule,

your daughter will be enslaved.

I will never see her!

But I just have one request!

I don't want her to know the truth about her disease

and the fact that she is a hostage!

So after her surgeries, instead of making her stay at some drab government facility,

I want you to let her rest at the church in the Sorbet Kingdom where she grew up!

If you do that,

I promise I'll never go there to see her

and I'll do exactly as you command!

Very well.

As long as she is under watch, it doesn't matter where.

These next two years are going to be interesting.

Clank.

Dad!

Bonney!

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

--Were you a good girl? --Yeah!

Uncle!

Bonney, we're going to stay here for the next six months.

What?! You're going to be here, too?!

Yeah, I've also found out I have an illness, so I'm getting tested.

You too?! Yay!

This guy's Sentomaru!

"This guy"?

She is a handful, but please look after her.

Fine...

Thank you.

Dad!

There are so many rooms without windows here!

Yeah... No, but there are dangerous things too, so...

Oh, it's fine! You're too much of a chicken!

Oh hey, Bonney!

Darn... Darn... Darn!

I'll create the weapons of my dreams!

Ideas keep flowing!

Somebody, help write out what's in my brain!

Eat for me! Go to the bathroom for me!

I'm too busy! I want to rage!

Oh, I got another idea!

I'd welcome even a cat's help!

If only there were five more of me!

Hey!

Sentomaru!

You holding up?

Are you free?! I bet you are! I can play with you!

I'm not free!

Aw, really?

Look, I don't have time to hang out with you every day...

J-Just for a little while, okay?

Yay!

Oh, hey...

Oh, Dad!

Bonney!

Your daughter...

...lacks any sense of modesty.

Isn't it nice? He's my horsey!

Yeah, it is nice, Bonney!

B-Bonney...

Don't ask too much of him...

Okay!

I don't think she gets it...

Dad!

What is it, Bonney?

H-How did you get so stained?!

Ta-dah!

DAD

This is for you!

Thank you! I'll treasure it!

DAD

Oh, that's a VIP seat, Bonney!

All right, Bonney-chan. See you tomorrow.

Okay...

I'm hungry...

This smell must be...

Oh, Bonney! I was just about to come get you.

Let's eat it together!

Pizza!

So good!

Cheers!

Hey, Dad! Let's do that thing!

Oh!

This is the Nika Dance! Let's dance together!

Let me try...

Like this?

That's it!

This is quite hard.

You're no fun...

Uncle!

A-All right...

SIX MONTHS LATER

Great! You're doing well!

In another year, you'll be completely cured.

Thank you, Vegapunk!

Thank you!

Um...

Once I get well,

can I come visit?!

Of course!

Dad!

Is the sea beautiful?

Yes, it's beautiful.

I wanna see it...

You'll be able to see it soon.

Yeah!

With you!

Yeah... Can't wait.

SORBET KINGDOM

Bonney! Kumachi! Welcome home!

It's been a long time! You can live here again?

Yes!

I'll be cured in a year and get to go outside!

Oh yeah?! I'm happy for you.

You said you'd get well before age ten and you were right!

Does somebody need to be looked after again?

Old Bag Conney!

QUEEN DOWAGER CONNEY, SORBET KINGDOM

We'll all be happy to take care of her, Kuma.

Leave her to us!

Thank you. I'll be relying on you again.

I'm a pirate now, so I may cause this country trouble...

I probably won't be able to come back for over a year.

What?! For that long?!

I'll write you a lot!

Mm-hm! Mm-hm!

Next time we meet, let's be out on the sea, watching the horizon together.

Yeah! Can't wait!

And I wanna go on many trips!

Yeah! I would love to take you anywhere you like!

I would've loved to do it...

Leave it all to me, Kuma-san.

Who is this woman?!

ALPHA, AN INTELLIGENCE AGENT CIPHER POL NO.8

By the doctor's orders,

I'll stay with Bonney-chan until she's fully cured.

Every day, I'll check her temperature, administer medicine,

and monitor for even the slightest changes! I'm Alpha, a nurse!

Nice to meet you, Bonney-chan.

Hey! What did you build out in front?!

That's our temporary housing!

Until she's fully cured, we can't let anyone suspicious see her,

so always carry your ID, everyone.

So inconvenient!

A child's neck...

I can snap it just like this.

I know.

I'll never come back.

Thank you, Bonney.

For being born.

What?!

Okay, I'm heading out.

Take care!

Don't worry about Bonney!

Despite being called the Tyrant,

Bartholomew Kuma was very obedient to orders, and his joining the Seven Warlords...

SEVEN WARLORDS OF THE SEA

...shook up pirates across the world.

Young Master. It says there's a new member of the Seven Warlords.

Kuma the Tyrant?

Another bad guy has emerged.

Are you interested in the new Warlord?

I don't care who it is.

Anyway,

have you eliminated the witness to our Rainmaking Ship?

Yes, flawlessly.

He's supposedly as huge as Whitebeard.

Who's stronger? Me or him?

Koby.

O-Of course, it's you, Alvida-sama!

Jinbe! They found a replacement!

I'm happy for you.

Who are you to say that, Ace?

There would be no fuss if you didn't defeat Hanafuda in the first place.

Do you think this new face will meet your approval?

I'm trying to see that now.

A former king?!

Well, there is an active king in the group as well.

The world of pirates has changed...

It does not matter to me.

Because I will never go to the central!

Even so, you still need to know these things, Snake Princess!

Hey!

It says he's a Paw Pad Human!

What kind of power is that?!

But Moria-sama, he's a Warlord!

The Seven Warlords work directly under the Government, right?!

Kuma-san wouldn't join such a group!

"Dear Bonney, I'm writing to you at sea.

DAD

I became a little famous, so it is difficult to travel now,

but I'm doing okay."

Sorry, it's far. Thanks.

"How's everyone?

I'll try to find many places...

...that I would like to visit with you when you turn ten."

Bartholomew Kuma, you have a new order from the Government.

Where are you?

It's mad!

I'm in the East Blue.

What is the order?

mata daremo mamorenai no

I can't protect anyone again

kiekakaru koe wa boku no sei

It's my fault that the voice is fading away

utsumuku hima mo nai no

I don't even have time to look down

Start moving again, my ship

Though I can't fly in the broad sky

fukai umi wa teraseru kara

I can light up the deep sea

We

EVERYDAY, can't let this be the end

EVERYDAY owarenai

EVERYDAY, can't be defeated

EVERYDAY makerenai

We have something here to protect

mamoru mono ga koko niwa aru

This may not be what I expected

yosou chigai kamo?

But we can't stop now

tomarenai yo mou

We go on, sharing loneliness

kodoku wo ima wakeai susumu

Don't be afraid

I'm not the same person I was that day

ano hi no boku to chigau kara

No one can stand in my way

dare nimo jama dekinai yo

Now, move aside

Conquer the world, believe in the future

sekai wo seishite mirai wo shinjite

Count up the nights

ikutsu mono yoru kazoete

What did you see? What did you learn?

nani wo mite nani wo shitte

To realize what was important

taisetsu na koto ni kiduita no

What Bonney has been waiting for is a letter from her father that has yet to arrive.

Her desire to see him intensifies each day,

and the thought of crossing the threshold into the outside world gets stronger!

The smell of grass and the shining sun.

Bonney overcomes her disease and now sets out on a journey to find her precious father!

On the next episode of One Piece!

"To the Sea Where My Father is! The Future Bonney Chooses"

I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!
