The Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders have previously been connected to many nefarious events, but the Egghead arc took their reputation for viciousness to the next level. Aside from Luffy’s crew and Dr. Vegapunk, the arc also focused on the incredibly tragic tale of Jewel Bunny and her father, Bartholomew Kuma, whose story could be One pieceIt’s saddest. At some point in the first Warlord of the Sea’s life, Saint Saturn caused him unforgivable suffering.
The mysterious events of the God Valley incident have Elder Saturn and a very young, recently orphaned slave boy, Kuma, meeting each other for the first time. Then Saturn tells the young buccaneer boy that his people deserve to disappear from the earth, but he would do much worse years later.
