What Happened in One Piece Episode 1137?
One Piece Episode 1137, titled “I’m Sorry, Dad: Bonney’s Tears and Kuma’s Fist,” begins with Bonney breaking down in tears and apologizing to Vegapunk for blaming him for what happened to Kuma. Vegapunk then gives her the birthday gift Kuma left for her 10th birthday, a sapphire necklace. He then talks about how the Straw Hats are on the island as well and so much has happened on Egghead since Bonney went and saw Kuma’s memories.
In the present, Bonney is shown trapped in Saturn’s grasp as the rest of the crew is unable to move due to Saturn’s powers. Luffy, barely conscious, is fed a mountain of food to help him recover. Saturn notices and orders the Marines to restrain him with Sea Prism Stone cuffs so he can’t fight back.
Meanwhile, Bonney tries using her powers to transform into a possible future version of herself resembling Nika. However, her attack doesn’t have any effect on Saturn, as he explains that her powers only work if she believes in that future and that she is slowly losing her faith in Nika.
Saturn then reveals that he was the one who gave Bonney the Age-Age Fruit and experimented on Ginny when she was held as a slave in Mariejois. He infected both mother and daughter with Sapphire Scales disease. Vegapunk is horrified at this revelation and calls out the cruelty, but Saturn dismisses his anger and compares them to insects. Bonney, crushed both physically and emotionally, begins to accept her fate and thinks it might be easier if she dies right here.
At that moment, Kuma appears on Egghead. Despite being riddled with bullets and cannon fire from navy soldiers, he pushes forward. Though Saturn activated Kuma’s self-destruct switch when the Revolutionary Army rescued him, Kuma rampages and blows past the navy soldiers. He reaches Bonney just in time, protecting her from Saturn’s killing blow.
He then delivers one of the most devastating and satisfying punches that knocks out Saturn with blood gushing out from his face. Bonney, now in her child form, breaks down in tears as her father, despite losing his free will, moves to protect his daughter out of pure instinct.
