I've been having this theory that Law will restore Kuma's consciousness.
Think about it, Law's power is essentially to perform miraculous surgeries, so to me it would make sense for him to perform a "magic operation" on Kuma's brain and be able to bring him back to consciousness.From a story perspective, for some reason it would feel weird to have Kuma fully back to normal, because I got the feeling Oda was trying to build up Bonney into her own character without Kuma.
Think Bellemere dying to propel Nami’s story further or Hiriluk dying to propel Chopper’s story further. I suppose to me, asking Kuma to be brought back fully is like asking them to be brought back, or Ace to be brought back to life.
I don't disagree with you, in fact I thought he would die in Egghead, sacrificing himself for Bonney.
However, since that didn't happen in Egghead (which was precisely the arc for both of them), I don't think it will happen anymore because now it would seem out of place.
I also think that scene of the two of them watching the sunrise seemed like "now these two will be happy."
