Sorbet Kingdom (flashback)
The backstory of the Sorbet Kingdom in South Blue: the rebellion against tyranny, the friendship of Kuma and Ginny, the birth of Bonney and Kuma's long sacrifice to save her, up to becoming a will-less Pacifista.
The flashback revealed on Egghead tells of the Sorbet Kingdom in South Blue: the childhood friendship of Bartholomew Kuma and Ginny, the years in the Church, joining Dragon's Revolutionary Army and, after Ginny's death, the adoption of little Bonney. When Bonney falls ill with the same affliction, Kuma agrees to become a test subject for Vegapunk's Pacifista programme: in exchange for his daughter's cure he gradually loses body, memory and will, until reduced to a soulless weapon of the World Government.
