The seed

Earliest known caller

(Unrecorded.)

Why this matters

Establishes, on-page and from the character’s own mouth, that Kuma’s lifelong liberation drive (and his later Nika-evoking acts even as a memory-wiped weapon) is rooted in childhood Sun-God-Nika reverence — the same myth that defines Luffy’s awakening. A clean dialogue-from-character seed whose payoff is Kuma’s residual-will acts and the Bonney/Egghead present-day arc. Cross-link Sun God Nika, Kuma, Buccaneer.
