The situation in Egghead continues to get worse as Bonney faces the greatest threat of them all. Although Sanji saved her from a Pacifista, he couldn’t stop her from charging towards Saturn, who had just revealed his demonic form. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Bonney lands a blow on Saturn while the villain doesn’t even flinch. However, as tension rises, One Piece’s anime goes on an unexpected hiatus. This week, the anime will broadcast a special recap episode, titled “Dr.Chopper’s Adventure Checkup – The Ballad of a Father and Daughter.” It will focus on Kuma and Bonney’s story so far before the major flashback.

One Piece Episode 1129 Will Commence a Major Flashback
One Piece has been setting up a Kuma backstory for over a decade now, and we will finally find out the reason he volunteered to become a Pacifista. A connection between Bonney and Kuma was already teased before the Final Saga and the Egghead Incident Arc confirmed they are father and daughter. After seeing that Kuma was rescued by the Revolutionary Army during the Reverie, Bonney travels to Egghead and almost drowns. The Straw Hat Pirates found and saved her before reaching the island together. Bonney confirms that she wants to meet Vegapunk, the scientist who converted her father into a human weapon.
After a series of events, Bonney learns about the paw-bubble that stored all of Kuma’s memories and witnesses the tragic life her father led. While the anime only showed a glimpse of it so far, Bonney knows the terrible truth and the people responsible for Kuma’s suffering. As Vegapunk expected, the truth is too much for her to bear, so much so that she rushed to attack Saturn despite the odds being against her. Episode 1128 also confirmed that she indeed knows everything about the past. Anime-only fans may be unaware, but Kuma’s backstory is considered one of the saddest in the entire story. It’s also a major turning point in the story, and will continue for a few episodes.
