Speculations Why didn't Big Mom go after Kuma?

[JDragon20]

He's one of the three races she's missing. Seems weird she never sent people after him to proposition him to join her family or blackmail him with the Sorbet kingdom destruction or Bonney.

Unless she never knew he was a buccaneer which seems dumb with how good her intelligence network was.

I guess Oda didn't want him to suffer fighting off the Big Mom pirates forever trying to stealing his virginity

Nobody but the world government and some random doctors knew that Kuma was a buccaneer. It would be so impossibly hard to find that out, on a person that Linlin likely had at most periphery interest in.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Kumas race was unknown. Most people just would’ve assumed he’s a large human like Big Mom or Whitebeard.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

How could she?

the dude has teleportation powers

 

[Sir Tuna Sandwich II]

She couldn't even handle Jinbei lmao

 

[IsaziSempi]

Nobody could capture Kuma the man can zip from island to island.

 

[U c 4 up da idly]

She was going after WB for that buccaneer blood

Their only interaction was when Kuma ate his fruit. Right after that, Saturn came and called him a buccaneer. So there are 2 options: Either she heard him being called buccaneer, or he poofed her away offscreen right after he took the bite. The fact that Big Mom came with Kaido to God Valley, and then didn't know where he disappeared to suggests that probably one of them was pushed out of the island. Since Big Mom was the one who interacted with Kuma, I'd say it's probably her, and so she knew of his power but didn't know his race.

Big mom stated in wano that yhere were 3 races missing from her island: giants, lunarians and buccaneer.

She knew kuma was one, but for whatever reason didnt go after him, maybe she knew none of subordinates could take him and she never took the trouble of going after him herself.

It was implicit in the godvalley flashback that she had a little skirmish with saturn which allowed him to escape so maybe she has some sort of connection to him.

Big mom told king there were 3 races missing from her crew... giants, lunarians and buccaneers.

Spoiler

Big mom told king there were 3 races missing from her crew, but she never stated which. You don't really know if she knows the name "Buccaneer", and even if she does, if she recognizes Kuma as one. She also said that only one of the races is considered to be extinct, refering to Lunarians, and we all know that Buccaneers are also extinct, and she didn't say "two of them". So it is still possible that she refers to another race and knows nothing of Buccaneers.

Spoiler

Where exactly do you see that? Big Mom's last appearance is in the last middle panel, and Saturn appears 3 panels later. She's not in the same panel with Saturn at all. This is only an assumption that they had any interaction, or that she had heard what Saturn called Kuma.
