#Straw Hat Pirates

The mysteries surrounding Kuma's actions which included sending the Straw Hat Pirates away and protecting the Thousand Sunny ship, were largely explained in One Piece manga chapter 1102. Kuma's admiration for Nika and his belief that Luffy would be the hero who would save this world was the key reason behind his actions. As a result, Kuma planned to help the Straw Hats by sending them to specific islands, which would give them a heads-up to deal the obstacles that awaits them in the New World. Furthermore, Kuma stated that he would leave a mark of his existence in the form of Bonney and Luffy.
