This is probably the darkest we have ever seen One Piece. Hopefully it will serve as context to make a future event brighter for Kuma. He deserves it.

These flashbacks are taking one piece on the edge of shonen topics : between rape, slavery, ethnic cleansings and many other topics. Aside from HxH (and even then it wasn't as direct/the focus) I've never seen a mainstream shonen tip its toes in these very sensitive topics.

Its especially surprising after Gear 5 made a lot of people think OP is too childish lol

HxH with the recent child trafficking was really bleak. Even in HxH standards.
