This is actually something I theorized with
@Bounty , that since Vegapunk couldnt power the robot since he didnt have the energy source, Kuma took it upon himself to materialize the robotic memories (Oda logic lol) and replace his own with that. Its a really solid theory at this rate since its also relevent.
My assumption on the Kuma timeline:
- Slave for special reasons (his Race)
- Stole the paw fruit and escaped with it
- Married into Royalty (Bonnies mother)
- Became King, country was targeted by the WG. Queen was killed.
- Becomes Pirate, is violent and cruel. Secretly joins the RA after convincing from Dragon.
- Meets Vegapunk, tells him about his special lineage (whatever it is)
- Gets captured and agrees to be Shichibukai, but on the condition his lineage is used as a precursor for Pacifista
- Vegapunk learns of his powers to take out memories. Learns what we will learn.
- Kuma volunteers to replace his memories with the Robot, as a means for vengeance for his Queen and to also see where the programming leads him.
Maybe something like this lol
