Bartholomew Kuma

Little is known about Bartholomew Kuma (バーソロミュー・くま, Bāsoromyū Kuma) except that his former bounty was 296 million belli. Like Mihawk and Donquixote Doflamingo, he was present at the government summit of Mariejois, following Sir Crocodile's defeat in Arabasta. 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. He has only spoken briefly, and only in the manga. "Kuma" means "bear" in Japanese.
