Good lord
Did you read the last chapter?
Kuma went to Vegapunk and agreed on his Pacifista project to become a weapon for the government. Memory wiping was not part of the deal at this point at all.
Saturn overhears this and has plans of his own (wipe his memories, in case it's hard to follow)
After this chapter's scene, we get the dialogue between VP and Kuma about memories and VP asking him to please remove his memories so that he can test his hypothesis.
Thus, I proposed that Saturn called Vegapunk after the events of this chapter and while KUma wasn't there and told him he had to wipe Kuma's memories completely.
Vegapunk then chose to do it via a quasi experiment where he wants to "meassure the weight of memories" but in reality he will store Kuma's memories somewhere as a compromise between following Saturn's request and maybe one day being able to put them back into Kuma/show them to Bonney
You literally read my post and went "hmm, how do I add to this without adding anything"
I never went against the thing you keep pointing out.

He already made the deal with Vegapunk
Saturn forced Vegapunk to completely wipe Kuma's memory, but not like he brought it up to Kuma for consideration. It was an ultimatum for Vegapunk

- Kuma very clearly knows that he will lose his memories. He tells Shakky and Rayleigh that he "does not have much time left". He also asks VP to give him one final program after he losts his memories to guard the crew's ship:
- Vegapunk TELLS Bonney it was his decision to lose his memories. I shared this image with you already. This is why I keep bringing up what Bonney does and doesnt know. Clearly, this was the truth because Bonney no longer hates VP after seeing his memories
- In order for VP to even know to give Kuma one final programming to guard the crew's ship, Kuma would have had to know he was losing his memories in the first place.
- Every single instance of the topic of Kuma's memories has said person talk about how Kuma voluntarily removed his memories. Akainu, Doflamingo, Ivankov, Dragon, Sabo, Bonney. The question is why.
The point of me quoting you was to show you that Kuma wasnt being "tricked" into wiping his mind. It is very clear that Saturn seems to be holding something over him (and maybe VP too, yes, but I doub that). There is a very clear scene at God Valley that Oda skips over between Kuma and Saturn. He jumps from that point to Kuma escaping to Sorbet with slaves. It is likely, imo, that that scene was skipped because it plays a part into why Saturn can blackmail Kuma into losing his memories.
Tldr: Vegapunk isnt "subliminaly" tricking Kuma into wiping his memories. It was a decision made by Kuma himself. The scene about the "Weight of Memory" potentially has bearing on this decision, but Kuma wasnt fooled into doing anything he didnt want to do. Thats what Im telling you.
