In the captivating world ofONE PIECE, characters often possess hidden depths and unexpected affiliations. One such character is Kuzan, whose recent actions have led to rampant speculation about his true loyalties. As we delve into the intricacies of his character, we will explore the possibility of him being a spy for the Revolutionary Army. Join us on this thrilling journey through the narrative twists and turns that define Kuzan’s role in the story.

The Intriguing Character of Kuzan in ONE PIECE

The immensely popular mangaONE PIECEoften hides unexpected identities within its characters. In the final arc, Kuzan, a former admiral of the Navy, now affiliated with the Blackbeard Pirates, has sparked speculation among readers that he might be a spy for the Revolutionary Army.

Connections to the Revolutionary Army

Kuzan’s ties to the Revolutionary Army have gained traction, especially after the Blackbeard Pirates attacked the Revolutionary Army’s base, Baltigo. Although the attack devastated Baltigo, the Revolutionary Army had already relocated, avoiding casualties. This raises the possibility that someone within the Blackbeard Pirates leaked information to the Revolutionary Army, leading to the theory that Kuzan’s ambiguous motives might indicate he is a spy.

Significant Encounters

• Kuzan’s past as a Navy admiral and his connection to the Revolutionary Army’s leader, Monkey D. Dragon, are particularly noteworthy.
• In Volume 45, Chapter 433, Kuzan, a survivor of the destroyed island of Ohara, tells Nico Robin,
  

  “Ohara is not… destroyed yet,”

  hinting at deeper connections.

• In Chapter 1066, a flashback reveals Dragon and Dr. Vegapunk at the ruins of Ohara, discussing the fate of the scholars’ research, suggesting Kuzan may have been informed about Ohara’s situation.

Furthermore, during this episode, Vegapunk mentions to Dragon that there are many in the Navy who are“reasonable,”indicating a potential for collaboration between Kuzan and Dragon, especially given Kuzan’s growing distrust of the World Government after the Ohara incident.

Contradictory Evidence

However, Kuzan was once a respected admiral who fought fiercely against Akainu for the position of Fleet Admiral, and there has been no clear evidence of a relationship with the Revolutionary Army. Some readers argue against the spy theory, noting that Kuzan joined the Blackbeard Pirates after being recruited by Blackbeard himself.

Future Implications

Kuzan’s alliance with Blackbeard, who aims to establish a“Blackbeard Kingdom”recognized by the World Government, raises questions about his true intentions. In Chapter 1126, Blackbeard appears to be plotting something against the Holy Land Mariejois, which could lead to significant developments if Kuzan is indeed connected to the Revolutionary Army.

As the story unfolds, Kuzan’s role is becoming increasingly pivotal, and fans are eager to see how his character will evolve in the ongoing narrative ofONE PIECE.
