As the world of ONE PIECE continues to unfold, the connections between characters become increasingly intricate and fascinating. In this article, we delve into the relationship between Bartholomew Kuma and Bonney, especially in light of the upcoming Chapter 1134. Prepare to explore the depths of their connection and the implications it holds for the story!

Bartholomew Kuma and Bonney’s Connection

The official portal site of Eiichiro Oda has released the first page of Chapter 1134, which will be published in Weekly Shonen Jump on December 23! For those who want to wait for the official release date, please refrain from reading further.

Chapter 1134 Preview

• Straw Hat Luffy’s Declaration
• Luffy’s Name
• Saul’s Knowledge of Luffy

In the preview, Luffy is seen making a declaration in front of Saul. His appearance is somewhat fitting, but his speech is rather crude. However, it is amusing in a typical Luffy way. When Robin introduces Luffy, Saul seems to recognize him, exclaiming, “He’s famous!” and laughs, saying, “I can’t believe we finally met!” to Robin.

Luffy’s Declaration

Luffy explains to Robin that a captain must greet those who have helped his crew. He expresses his gratitude to Saul, saying, “Please allow me to introduce myself!” but is interrupted by Robin, who questions, “Where did you see him?” This seems to be a reference to Jinbe’s earlier advice.

Luffy’s Name

While Luffy’s declaration is portrayed humorously, it may hide an important point. If Robin hadn’t said, “Luffy,” Luffy’s self-introduction would have continued. What if he had introduced himself as “Monkey D. Luffy”? Or perhaps he would have simply said, “Straw Hat Luffy”? This is intriguing, especially since Jinbe did not have such a formal introduction.

Saul’s Knowledge of Luffy

Saul mentions that he knows Luffy because he is a “famous person.” He has been in Elbaf for 22 years, so how did he come to know about Luffy? It is likely through the news reported after the Wano Country incident, as mentioned by Hildin in Chapter 1133, where he states that the news of Big Mom’s defeat caused a stir even in this isolated country.

Conclusion

As we await the release of Chapter 1134, the connections between Bartholomew Kuma and Bonney, as well as the implications of Luffy’s name and his interactions with Saul, are sure to be pivotal in the unfolding narrative. The anticipation builds as fans speculate on how these relationships will evolve and impact the story moving forward.
