One PieceChapter 1101 Points Out A Certain Fact

In Chapter 1101 ofOne Piece, Kuma recalls a journey he made to the Goa Kingdom alongside the Revolutionary Army. He talks about how Dragon seems to know a lot about the area and how he once went to a village not far from there to watch a particular boy.

Dragon makes a statement – “A child is a parent’s weakness”, adding that Kuma should only continue talking if he wants to die. Kuma acknowledges understanding and says he will no longer be investigating.

Several well-known characters have given their lives to ensure the survival of their children, including Kuma, Tom (Franky’s guardian), Olivia (Robin’s mother), Whitebeard, Corazon, and many more.

Therefore it can be said that this aspect of the theme inOne Piecemay hold a much bigger importance further ahead and could also be one of the biggest weaknesses of many other characters including Dragon himself.
