Chapter 1100 Recap
While Kuma and Vegapunk talked about curing Bonney, Elder Saturn used a hidden Transponder Snail to spy on their conversation. The cruel man took this opportunity to force Vegapunk to transform Kuma into a mindless android. The former king was scared but happy about being able to help Bonney.
Kuma and Saturn reached an agreement. The man would become a Warlord of the Sea and have his body transformed into that of an android, only if Bonney was cured and taken to the Sorbet Kingdom. Once the young girl was free from her illness, she was taken away, while her father continued the process of becoming a weapon.

Years later, a teenage Luffy was running around the jungle outside Foosha Village. The boy laughed as he was being chased by an angry tiger. Kuma was seen arriving at the island, although the reason why was not explained. Out of nowhere, the android received a call about a mission given to him by the World Government.
