S-Bear

S-Bear is one of the Seraphim and a clone of Bartholomew Kuma.

Due to his actions and role, he is a supporting antagonist in the Egghead Arc.

Appearance
S-Bear resembles Kuma as a child, but has longer hair and wears an outfit more reminiscent of the current Kuma, with an emblem on his jacket associated with Vegapunk's creations. He also possesses lunarian traits, such as brown skin, black wings, white hair, and white ears.

Personality
S-Bear has not displayed any personality outside of obedience to a Pacifista authority chip holder.

Abilities and Powers
S-Bear is one of the Seraphim, the pinnacle of Vegapunk's scientific achievements, which have been described by their creator as the Strongest Form of Humanity (最強の人類).

Physical Abilities
As a clone of Bartholomew Kuma, S-Bear has inherited the great physical strength and durable bodies of the extant Buccaneers race; a race said to carry the blood of Giants within them, through his Lineage Factor, and presumably shares all the physical advantages attributed to the race itself.

Pacifista Body
Like other Pacifista, S-Bear was given the ability to fire lasers from his mouth or the palms of his hands as a result of Vegapunk's research of the Pika Pika no Mi.

Fire Manipulation
As an artificial lunarian, S-Bear possesses flames on his back that are linked to his tremendous resilience as a lunarian. With the combined durability and resilience attributed to both his Buccaneer and Lunarian lineage factors, in addition to the durability of being a Pacifista, S-Bear was sturdy enough to withstand a combined attack from a Gear 4 enhanced Monkey D. Luffy and Rob Lucci in his man-beast hybrid form.

Devil Fruit


Via the Green Blood, S-Bear possesses an artificial version of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that gives him paw pads on the palms of his hands. These paws have the power to harshly repel anything they touch, even the air itself.

Egghead Arc


At some point, S-Bear was taken on mission away from Egghead. CP0 agents Rob Lucci, Kaku, and Stussy were tasked with returning him to the island, but were secretly on a mission to assassinate Vegapunk. Upon being denied entry to Egghead, Lucci plotted to use S-Bear's Nikyu Nikyu no Mi ability to secretly infiltrate the island. Upon sending the World Government agents and himself to Egghead, S-Bear mobilized with CP0 while the agents began their mission. S-Bear's group encountered Sentomaru who was leading S-Shark, S-Snake, and S-Hawk in defending the island. Kaku ordered S-Bear to take out one of the Seraphim, but Sentomaru overrode the command and had S-Bear instead attack the government agents, which it did by firing lasers.

Continuing to follow Sentomaru's order, S-Bear used an Ursus Shock against the invaders. Shortly after, Sentomaru succumbed to his injuries from CP0, resulting in the four Seraphim following CP0's command. Upon CP0 infiltrating Egghead's Labohase while its defense system was deactivated, the four Seraphim took the initiative to follow the assassins. When they arrived, Lucci ordered them to destroy Vegapunk's laboratory before he could come out, leading to them damaging the building's structure using a range of attacks. After Stussy subdued Kaku and Lucci, the attack command remained until Edison left the laboratory and ordered the Seraphim to cease their attack.



While Vegapunk's Satellites and the Straw Hat Pirates searched for the missing Stella within the Labophase, S-Bear and S-Hawk began targeting Kaku and Lucci while they were restrained and unconscious, prompting Roronoa Zoro to get assistance from Monkey D. Luffy to confront them. Shaka tried issuing orders, but the two Seraphim were unaffected by his commands and continued their attack. S-Bear then used an Ursus Shock on them, destroying a part of the lab. Luffy and Lucci then attacked S-Bear and sent him flying. The two continued to attack him, but he gets up fine.

At some point, he and the other Seraphim were contained in seastone bubbles and left in the laboratory's basement.

Trivia

 * His name is likely a reference to Kuma's name and the animal theming of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
 * Despite his lunarian traits, S-Bear was originally introduced with black hair and ears in the magazine release. The hair was later confirmed to be an art error, and both were subsequently corrected in separate chapters.
