Initial One Piece chapter 1099 Spoilers

As per the spoilers shared by X user @Scotchinformer, One Piece chapter 1099, provisionally titled Peace Lover, began with the return of King Bekori to Sorbet Kingdom. The Revolutionary Army had previously ousted him, but now he had the backing of the World Government, which recognized his rightful position as the kingdom's legitimate ruler. Thus, he was accompanied by marine forces.

In the previous chapter, Bekori ruthlessly resorted to slaughtering innocent people and was ready to burn down everything in order to reclaim his lost kingdom. However, Kuma had single-handedly defeated the marines and assumed the title of king, although he was only a figurehead as someone else was actually governing the kingdom.

The identity of this ruler has not been revealed. One Piece chapter 1099 spoilers revealed thus far are brief, and fans will have to wait for more spoilers and raw scans to be released for more information.

Meanwhile, Beckori survived the encounter and began to spread wild rumors about Kuma, branding him a tyrant. Subsequently, the former launched another attack on the Sorbet Kingdom. Again, he was crushed by Kuma's formidable strength. Kuma then put together a pirate crew while retaining the epithet of a tyrant.

One Piece chapter 1099 spoilers also recount how Bonney accidentally consumed the Toshi Toshi no Mi or Age Age fruit. It is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to manipulate the age of anyone they want.

It is revealed that Dragon, who had given his word to help Kuma, had shared with him Dr Vegapunk's location. Both Kuma and Bonney had then visited Egghead Island and reached an agreement with the scientist. Kuma consented to become the prototype for Vegapunk's cybernetic clones project. In return, Bonney, afflicted with the incurable Sapphire Scales disease that claimed her mother's life, would be cured.

This project, initiated by Vegapunk, gained the name Pacifista when Kuma said that he was a peace lover. During this exchange, however, Jaygarcia Saturn was present, eavesdropping.

This chapter explains several aspects of the story, such as the reason Vegapunk and Saturn referred to Bonney as a child. Furthermore, it lays the groundwork for further investigation into Kuma's tragic state.
