Sorbet Kingdom

The Sorbet Kingdom is a nation in the South Blue that was once ruled by the revolutionary turned Warlord, Bartholomew Kuma.

Geography
The Sorbet Kingdom consisted of a tropical island with long, round buildings, shaped similar to popsicles.

Past
47 years ago, Bartholomew Kuma was born to a normal, peasant family, of which the patriarch, Clapp, was part of the rare buccaneers. Because buccanners were a highly sought after race, the World Government had agents placed around the island in order to locate potential members. They eventually found Clapp's family by investigating a local hospital and enslaved all of its members, in spite of the mother being just a human.

Kuma at some point would eventually return to Sorbet and become its monarch.



According to Jinbe, Kuma, the kingdom's ruler, was known for being a tyrannical monarch, leading the people of Sorbet to overthrow him during a rebellion. Kuma's reputation would earn him his moniker of "Tyrant", which was carried over to his subsequent careers as a pirate and Revolutionary Army member. However, Jewelry Bonney, Kuma's daughter, claims that this knowledge is wrong and that her father was never a tyrannical king. It also appears that Kuma had a lot of attrition with the World Government, having been mentioned several times to have hated the institution and being targeted by it for constant defiance.

Eventually, Kuma was captured by the Marines and sentenced with life imprisonment. Dr. Vegapunk, however, held a keen interest on Kuma and wanted the former king to become his test subject in exchange for his freedom. As part of an agreement with the World Government, Kuma was allowed to return to piracy as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, all while participating in Vegapunk's Pacifista program, where he would get subjected to cloning and cybernetic modifications until finally losing the last portions of his humanity.

Levely Arc
Two years after the Summit War of Marineford, Kuma was relegated to working as a slave-to-rent for the World Nobles supposedly for his past actions as the king of Sorbet and officer of the Revolutionary Army, and also to serve as an example for any nation that would dare defy the government.

Jewelry Bonney infiltrated the Levely by posing as "Connie", queen dowager of the Sorbet Kingdom in order to find and rescue her father. Kuma was eventually rescued by his revolutionary comrades during the events of the Levely.

Trivia
