Saturn dictates brutal terms in return for curing Bonney: Kuma must join the Warlords, be rebuilt as a will-less cyborg, and remain parted from her forever, all of which he quietly accepts so that his daughter may live.
Summary
Arriving at the frozen lab, Kizaru explains he was dispatched because Vegapunk never noticed a Den Den Mushi listening in on his exchange with Kuma. Saturn then reaches the scientist by line, unwilling to let a pirate stand as the face of the Marines' clones, and dictates the price for allowing Bonney's cure: Kuma is to enlist among the Seven Warlords, be remade into a cyborg weapon, and forfeit his free will outright so that no trace of his revolutionary past can surface. Vegapunk rages that erasing the mind is the same as murder, yet Kuma calmly urges him to go ahead, thankful that any route to saving Bonney has opened at all.
Saturn adds that Bonney must stay in Government hands, released only after Kuma's memory is wiped, guaranteeing the two never meet again. Kuma consents but pleads that she never be told any of it, neither the treatment nor her role as a hostage, and that she be cared for in her home of Sorbet. To her, he says only that the pair will remain at the lab for six months while he pretends to need an examination of his own.
Key Events
Opposed to covert pacts between Marines and pirates, Saturn permits the Sapphire Scales treatment on three terms: Kuma joins the Warlords, is turned into a cyborg weapon, and loses his free will. A Warlord seat had come open after Ace bested an unnamed member only days earlier, and X Drake was on hand at Egghead for the meeting. Regarding the timelines, Vegapunk reckons the full course for Bonney will run a year and a half, while the conversion of Kuma demands a minimum of two years.
The treatment succeeds after six months, and Bonney heads back to Sorbet for a year of recovery under Bulldog and Conney, secretly shadowed by Alpha, a CP8 operative masquerading as a nurse who erects a guarded checkpoint. Kuma takes up his dutiful Warlord service, leaving the Revolutionary Army who know him best utterly baffled, and writes to Bonney as he travels. He reaches the East Blue and its Foosha Village just as a new order from the Government comes down.
Notes
The cover request, by PN Noda Skywalker, shows Usopp, reminded of his old Usopp Pirate crew, as he watches Sanji chopping vegetables. The chapter confirms that Alpha heads a CP8 team holding Bonney hostage behind a medical front, and that Kuma's modifications start at once and continue across his Warlord tenure. Just before he leaves, Kuma thanks Bonney for having been born, a goodbye whose meaning escapes her.
