I'd say he's easily one of the strongest Schichibukai...I'd venture that he can at leas compete against Doflamingo and Mihawk.

Because if you think about it...in addition to being a Pacifista (including lasers, enhanced durability via metal body), he also has his speed feats (moving past Rayleigh) that I would say the other Pacifistas haven't really shown.

Finally, he has the Paw-Paw fruit...so he has attack methods such as Urses Shock, and he can simply teleport an enemy islands away...which basically can leave one Marooned (especially with the New World Weather). I'd say another effective strategy would be simply pulling either his fatigue or the fatigue of another individual (assuming a Marineford like situation) and could cause an enemy to walk into it were they in a jumping charge of sorts (like how the Whitebeard Pirates jumped off of their ship...they would be forced to land on the bubble of pain).

Kuma is a Tyrant :hint:...I say he is deffinatly strong.

Yep thinking back, I definitely took Kuma for granted. His power and endurance is quite scary.

Can't really blame you...he doesn't appear as fast or as powerful as those with Haax DF's....but when you slowly compile what he has the potential to do...it gets kinda scary ^.^!

I'd agree with the VariaBossX! Probably can fight Doffy...probably at a disadvantage against Mihawk.

true, i just want to see that Colosseum fight too
Lol As exciting as that, Doflamingo, and Mihawk will be...I can't help, but be more excited to see Law and Robin team up!

Well his former bounty was 296 Billion Beri, even more than Jimbei so i'm assuming he was pretty strong.

Look at his physique for example. His massive!!! Then on top of that his punch/kick could really hurt.

+ His got quite a OP Devil Fruit, the Paw Paw Fruit. Its abitlities are the main thing which makes him strong. The thing he did on Thriller Bark they would destroy any rookie/ weaker pirates in no time. Then if he doesn't want to fight anymore. He can just teleport the marine/pirate away, in a poof.

In conclusion. Bartholomew Kuma is bloody strong, His strength and Doflamingo's are on par with each other in my opinion. Execept that Kuma presumably had no haki.

Thanks, it is true considering the order of things. Doflamingo is definetly strong (and odd) but Mihawk stalemated with a Yonkou so it's too early for them to fight him. Though i wonder how the straw hats and hearts gonna pull of a win against doflamingo and his country

Good question. I think he may be equal to Doflamingo, especially with his Pacifista body. None of the Shichibukai would stand a chance against Mihawk though. Kuma's resilience and DD's strings won't matter at all against him. Kuma obviously has an advantage in speed though.

Kuma is the third strongest shichibukai in my opinion but against devil fruit eaters he can always teleport them over the ocean. We don't yet know the full extent of his abilities yet but the Paw-Paw fruit seems to be extremely powerful .
Ursus shock is the second most destructive attack we've seen so far behind Whitebeards Gura-Gura no mi so I have Kuma in my top 15 .

Nope. Either on par with Hammock or slightly below. Why?
Hammock has better hype. Getting acknowledged by Sengoku for her strength, going toe-to-toe with a top VA level fighter and having the Kings Haki is just better than anything Kuma has displayed.
