I was just about to make a little post about the kuma bots, when I came to realize that this new feature definitly has the potential to overthrow the balance in the OP world. (if Oda uses it consequently). So I think they really should have a dedicated thread.
They are the first real "power" (as opposed to pushover) that actually might be set up for mass production - and if that happens the WG easily could erase almost every pirate in the first half of the grandline. When attacking in groups they might be a threat even to the most powerfull pirates. So the WG and the Marines would have the opportunity to concentrate all their power on the few remaining super powerfull pirates (Yonku and other legends that are too far above the pacifistas). => end of pirate age?
So I´d like to hear some of your thoughts about the pacifistas and how their appearance will influence the big picture.
About the pacifistas themselves I was just wondering if
- they are complete robots?
- cyborgs on the basis of Kuma clones? (without the DF ability)
- cyborgs on the basis of other persons? (with just faked Kuma-appearance)
- will there be bots with (other) DF abilities? If a gun can "eat" a fruit, a cyborg/robot should be able too.
- are there possibly limitations to their mass production?
