King was the WG's original Lunarian test subject, but then escaped.
The WG discovered Kuma had Lunarian genes, and used him to finish their research with Vegapunk to make the Seraphim.
Since Vegapunk knows the secret of the Lunarians, and the WG can replicate them with his technology, CP0 is being sent to kill him.
Remember, King had to hide his face, because of how hunted Lunarians are:
A 100 million berry bounty... JUST FOR INFORMATION ON LUNARIANS.
Clearly, the WG considers Lunarians to be a huge threat to them, and despises them. If Vegapunk knows too much about them, it's a reason to have him killed, along with others (like working with the Revolutionaries).
