A formerly brutal pirate with a former bounty of 296 million beri, he appears to be a much calmer, more reserved member of the Shichibukai who merely moves and does what he needs to. Like [Mihawk](https://anilist.co/character/2064/Dracule-Mihawk) and [Donquixote Doflamingo](https://anilist.co/character/2754/Donquixote-Doflamingo), he was present at the government summit of Mariejoa following [Sir Crocodile](https://anilist.co/character/2749/Crocodile)'s defeat in Alabasta. Comparing his height to [Perona](anilist.co/character/7467/Perona)'s in Chapter 473, he is well over twenty feet tall and is only matched in size by Moria's true body. According to [Gecko Moria](https://anilist.co/character/7454/Gecko-Moria), Kuma is the only obedient Shichibukai of the World Government.

Kuma seems to have the ability to teleport, which enables him to appear in the blink of an eye. Although the nature of Kuma's ability is unknown at this moment, he also shows the ability to make anyone he touches disappear to an unknown place, demonstrated when he makes Perona of the Thriller Bark crew disappear by touching her with his bare hand (she most likely went to the destination she said she wished to be). Also, Kuma asks Gecko Moria where he would like to travel to, further suggesting this ability. According to Perona, Kuma was known for his brutality as a pirate. However, his asking of where to "teleport" people reflects his change in personality. During a conformation of him and Gecko Moria, it was shown that the two are approximately equal in height, both being inhumanly tall. He also tends to use target metaphors (eg. "We now have the same target" and "You're right on Target, I am Bartholomew Kuma"). Due to his apparently reserved disposition and the fact that he is invariably seen with a large bible, Kuma is likely modeled after Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts, a gentleman pirate known for his religious obstinacy. Currently, Bartholomew has met with fellow member Gecko Moria about the appointment of [Marshall D. Teach](https://anilist.co/character/3331/Marshall-D-Teach) as a new Shichibukai member as well as to offer his assistance on the defeat of the Straw Hat crew. Though he has not met with them, he does have knowledge regarding [Luffy](https://anilist.co/character/40/Monkey-D-Luffy)'s brother, [Portgas D. Ace](https://anilist.co/character/2072/Portgas-D-Ace).

~!Recently, after reporting Moria's defeat, he was ordered to eliminate everyone on Thriller Bark and chooses [Roronoa Zoro](https://anilist.co/character/62/Roronoa-Zoro) as his first target. Following the events in Sabody Archepelago, he appeared in Pacifista form, having been fully turned into a robot by the World Government scientist [Vegapunk](https://anilist.co/character/282077/Vegapunk). After encountering the Straw Hats, who were struggling after defeating one of the Pacifistas immediately after an encounter with [Kizaru](https://anilist.co/character/21093/Borsalino), he defeats them and transports each one to a different island.   He is once again present at the battle of Marineford, in Pacifista form, along with several mass-production models.!~

Gold Roger was known as the Pirate King, the strongest and most infamous being to have sailed the Grand Line. The capture and death of Roger by the World Government brought a change throughout the world. His last words before his death revealed the location of the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding One Piece (which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame), and quite possibly the most coveted of titles for the person who found it, the title of the Pirate King. 
Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy that defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate who ransacks villages for fun, Luffy’s reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder; the thought of an exciting adventure and meeting new and intriguing people, along with finding One Piece, are his reasons of becoming a pirate. Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark mysteries and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach One Piece.

As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer "Red-Haired" Shanks. But his life changed when Luffy accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, still vowing to become the king of the pirates, Luffy sets out on his adventure...one guy alone in a rowboat, in search of the legendary "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world...
