Etymology
- Sorbet (ソルベ, Sorube) — the frozen iced-fruit dessert; fits Oda’s food-themed nation naming. The wiki confirms the whole kingdom is themed on frozen desserts: popsicle-shaped towers, buildings shaped like stick-eaten ice-cream treats, and military uniforms styled after ice-cream-parlour staff. Its queen dowager Conney’s favourite food is strawberry sherbet — same dessert family. (Confidence: high — wiki-sourced.)

Key chapters
- Ch. 908 — first named on-page; Kuma revealed its former king (p. 6); Conney its Queen Dowager (p. 4); Sabo’s “king of an allied nation” line (p. 9).
- Ch. 1095 — first shown on-page: Kuma’s birthplace, confirmed in South Blue (p. 10). Government agents seized the Buccaneer Clapp from the hospital at Kuma’s birth (pp. 10–11).
- Ch. 1096 — the post-God-Valley aftermath: young Kuma is raised here by Ginny (4 yrs his senior) in the church his family ran, alongside young Emporio Ivankov (pp. 14–17); confirmed in South Blue.
- Ch. 1097 — the adult-Kuma flashback (30–14 yrs ago): Kuma is the pastor of a church in the south. Its tyrant king King Bekori — “a tool of the Celestial Dragons” — redraws the kingdom (north = the rich royal city; the poor, old south cut loose) to dodge the Heavenly Tribute and enslaves the disenfranchised southerners (pp. 8–9, map p. 9). Dragon & Ivankov intervene, free Kuma and Ginny, and force Bekori to rescind — the Revolutionary Army is born here. Region confirmed South Blue (p. 2).
- Ch. 1098 — Bonney is born and raised here. Ginny returns dying of Sapphire Scales and is buried at the church (pp. 4-7); Kuma adopts and raises Bonney in the church, shuttering the windows against natural light. One year later King Bekori resumes his enslavement/slaughter — the chapter’s cliffhanger (p. 15).
- Ch. 1099 — Kuma’s “solo revolution.” Under tyrant King Bekori the kingdom burned its own villages to win Celestial-Dragon praise; Kuma’s one-man revolution deposed him and made Kuma the people’s king (ruling from his church, with ex-king Bulldog administering and dowager Conney beside him). Bekori returned with a WG Marine fleet to retake the throne and was sunk by Kuma, who then fled as a wanted pirate (pp. 2–10).
- Ch. 1100 — Bonney’s recovery home + the CP8 watch. Bonney grows up in the church here and returns to recover from the Sapphire Scales under Queen Dowager Conney, who offers to care for her (“We’d be happy to take care of her, Kuma!!”, p. 12). CP8 agent Alpha embeds in the town — building “temporary housing” outside the church — to surveil her as the WG’s hostage (pp. 13–14).
- Ch. 1101 — Bonney’s escape to sea. Conney reveals to Bonney that her illness is fully cured and that her caretakers (“Alpha and her ilk”) are secret government agents, then smuggles her out of the kingdom aboard the legendary fisher Gyogyo’s crew to “go to sea and find your father” Kuma; Alpha attacks the escaping ship with the Six Powers (pp. 7–17).
