One Piece

How does Kuma know where to send the Strawhats?

In the sabaody arc, Kuma attacks the strawhats and send each of them to a different place. Does he plan to send them to a place where they'd get trained well or is it random? If it is random, how do they end at the perfect places for their training?

>If it is random, how do they end at the perfect places for their training?
Fate. Destiny. Forced plot.

Using this thread because fuck the other.

He has already encountered the Strawhats once, making comments about how great of a crew Dragon's son has. And even when they first met, Kuma was naming everyone and their title correctly, even noticing Sogeking is not a real name. So I think he knew fairly well about everybody's position in the crew.

>Luffy was sent to a place with the cultural of using Haki. And how conveniently, the empress is also a Shichibukai which is essentially the only ticket to Impel Down/Marinford if Luffy ever wants to rescue Ace.

>Zoro was sent to Mihawk. Kuma seemed to have grown some respect for Zoro after their first encounter. Zoro also stated back then his head is the head of the future world best swordsman so Kuma took up the hint and sent him to the current best.

>Kuma was friend with Ivankov. He probably knows well enough that Kama Kempo is very similar to Sanji's combat style. Before time skip, Sanji's most perfectly matched rival was Bon-chan who also used Kama Kempo. Ironically though, poor thing.

>Nami has shown attacks using weather traits. Predictably Weatheria.

>Nico Robin was highly appreciated by the revolutionary. Kuma was part of the revolutionary. He probably knew they were going to come and free the workers on the bridge anyway so he sent Robin to a place where the revolutionary could catch up to her the quickest.

>Franky is a cyborg stated in his title. Where else should he go beside the Future land.

>Don't know how he knows Chopper was their doctor but the island Chopper was sent to seem to have great medical history.

>He is aware of Ussop being a sniper since Sogeking means sniper king and he is kinda notorious for shooting down the World Govt flag. The island Ussop was sent to was home to loads of seeds that can be used to diversify attacks of a sniper.

Kurohige was at whokecake at the end uh

just vegapunk bro

I always wanted an explanation how exactly it works to warp things. Does he only have to know the locations or did he have to visit them before to know where to send them?

My headcanon is that Kuma's fruit is already awakened, and normally it just pushes air but awakened it pushes concepts

Realistically now
Oda literally leaves the characters in the country of destination, so I hardly believe anyone will join.

Onigashima will be stopped by Zunesha so carrot will go back home and minks will stay in Wano

Carrot's not going back to Zunesha. She would have to let Peros' taunt beat her to do that.

Could just be intuition. Zoro is a swordsman, send him to Mihawk. Franky’s a robot, send him to a place with a Vegapunk lab. Nami is known to use a weather weapon, send her to Weatheria ect. etc.

Come to think of it. Kuma only really sent a handful of Straw Hats to areas that specifically catered to their training style. The rest just made do. Luffy, Robin, Sanji, Brook, Chopper, and Usopp all got sent to unrelated areas and just made do.

I don't think he needs to visit the places, just know the location in a geographical sense. Otherwise that would mean he visited Wheatheria, Amazon Lily... it's possible but unlikely.

And for some reason I remember something about his book being filled with island coordinates but I don't know if that's just fan theory or from a SBS

The rest of the minks, however, taking a area in Wano to neighbor the Kozukis is plausible.

Oda literally won't write anything more complex

Kuma is a LuHanchad

Yeah, it's Amazon Lilly that keeps me iffy.

You're saying Carrot's just going to live on Zunisha alone like a hermit?

This was Dragon's plan.
We know the guy keeps keeping a watch on Luffy.
Kuma was only part of the Warlords to get intels during the meetings and what missions the Marines were doing.
Dragon told Kuma to send them all in specialised places to enhance their capabilities. It wasn't random. It was all planned.

Bartholomew Kuma

Currently a slave

Based on the vast experience, he knew the islands location.

No, that she's coming along whether officially apart or a Inu and Neko on Roger's ship.

I need that image that compares his size to Kuzan and Tashigi.

Has the word "join" lost all meaning for anyone else yet?

Kuma ate the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that gave him paw pads on the palms of hands; these paw pads have the power to repel anything they come into contact with. His paw pads grant him an absolute defense that allows him to protect himself from all physical attacks, even swords. He can also use his paws to attack by repelling his target at great speed. By Kuma's own admission, his paw pads repel things at the speed of light.
the most impressive application of this fruit is that Kuma can send someone flying over vast distances, even across the world and traveling over the course of several days. The victim of this ability is encased in a paw bubble that protects them from and breaks through any obstacles that are in the way of the destination of Kumas choosing. To an outside observer, the victim appears to vanish.

So what do Dragon and Vegapunk have in connection?

Jesus

He has a bible in his hand. He just knows the way.

Pay a little bit more attention to details like this.

It should have lost meaning for everyone but Yamafags (As she is the LAST nakama and cucks everyone else)

BASEF

Honestly...I really like Kaidou in hybrid or dragon form, but I really wish this faggot arc has ended like year ago

Imagine.

Obviously not random. But the question is why he did it and who told him they would be there. It's actually a huge plotpoint that isn't discussed enough

Made for getting starved and tortured

If nothing significant will happen this chapter, I'm done with one piece for at least end of summer

>GEAR 6: EL DIABLO
>Argh… I don’t know if I can last long! I won’t turn this off until I kick your ass outta Wano, KAIDO!

I mean, that's basically Snakeman

Yamato joining is really going to expose so many ecelebs and a large part of the fan base as speed readers

Still find it hard to realize that Katakuri is that tall.

c u next week

Knowing how long Luffy and Kaido have been fighting and the Straw Hats have been resorted to Run Piece for several chapters now. I do wish Oda didn't get all the Tobi Roppo and All-Star fights out of the way so fast. That gave the illusion things were ending soon.

Luffy can't into more than 5 in English

I love that they expect him to go back to being edgy after Nika mode
Godspeed, spic artists

Don't give it (you)s.

Don't give up

Yeah it has been more than 10 chapters that the last SH fight was besides Luffy

I guess we could count Law and Kid? But that was also almost 10 chapters ago

What would happen if Katakuri tried to sit on Tashigi's face?

Nothing. Kuma is connected to Luffy through his father only. Kuma said he let's himself be a guinea pig for Vegapunk's project as long as he allows him to fulfill one last mission. Which was protecting Sunny.

SMOOTHIE HAS DONE NOTHING SINCE BEING INVENTED

Remember those x rays in last Mortal Kombat games?

Kuma is literally hack writing, he is only there to allow them escape the admiral

большая женщина

That makes sense. He basically made a deal with Vegapunk to keep that last request.

Sanji and Zoro easily could have still been fighting King and Queen in the meantime.

How is it hack writing????
Are you retarded?

Maybe Oda realized they were mismatched

>Tags: Mindbreak

Character degradation is unavoidable in a series this long.

the only thing wrong with Beast Pirates Robin is that she isn't sitting on my face

Oda drones keep drinking his cum, color of a surprise

I don't think having a narrative purpose conveniently for one situation is hack writing. He also protected the Sunny with Duval before Franky returned.

She defended her mommy

It's literally in the manga. I dont know why you speedreaders ask questions that are answered.

It's really gonna be a new age KEK

Yeah, especially when Queen only got one chapter of serious Germa replication powers and King got one unmasked.

You are a dumbfuck retard. Sorry you are too dumb to comprehend world building and character connections.

WHY DIDN'T THESE RETARDS ATTEMPT THE WATERFALL AGAIN?!?!? THEY COULD HAVE BEEN AT ONIGASHIMA RIGHT NOW AND DONE SOMETHING!!!!

Which figure is that ?

>Peros talking shit
Would Katakuri have almost lost to two sulongs?

I love this fanart but zoro's hair seems off?

LUFFY is gonna FUCK this? So lucky...
