***

There are many mysteries in the world, but Bartholomew Kuma doesn't see himself as one of them.

His motives are straightforward and simple. He is acting in the best interests of the World Government. Is it betrayal when, on its face, he used his Devil's Fruit power to disperse the Straw Hat crew instead of allowing Admiral Kizaru to capture them?

Is it betrayal to take the first steps to destroy an organization that is rotting from within?

Kuma has told himself long ago that things need to change. This pirate -- this boy who is sobbing, screaming, pounding his fists uselessly on the ground for the nakama he couldn't save -- will be an instrument of that change.

Kuma loves the World Government. He will follow every order. He will give his dying breath for it.

Even as he watches Monkey D. Luffy's heartbroken gaze drawn to his own, he knows the truth.

What he does is not betrayal. What he does, he does for love of the world.
