Episode Title:
Cruel Fate - Kuma's Decision as a Father
Episode Description:
At Dr. Vegapunk's lab, Saturn contacts Vegapunk and rejects Kuma as the face of the clone army. He imposes harsh conditions: Kuma must become a Warlord, a cyborg weapon, and surrender his free will. Vegapunk objects, but Kuma agrees, sacrificing himself to ensure Bonney receives life-saving treatment. Saturn demands Bonney be placed under government surveillance, cutting her off from Kuma. Kuma requests she be treated in the Sorbet Kingdom and kept unaware of the truth. Over six months, her treatment succeeds, and she's expected to be fully cured in a year. She and Kuma return to the Sorbet Kingdom, but he leaves after Alpha, a CP8 agent, is assigned to monitor her. News of Kuma's obedience as a Warlord confuses the Revolutionary Army. Kuma begins writing letters to Bonney as he heads to Foosha Village, awaiting his next orders.
