The part that doesn't make sense is that Kuma was built by the World Government, was a pirate, knows Dragon, and is now a Shichibukai. Obviously, there's more going on here.

Kuma is a cyborg, which means that he was originally a human.

A great chapter, Zoro i so damn Bad ass i love him even more now

As for Kuma leaving, I am sure he thought Zoro would die 99% since only a tennis sized ball of Luffy's pain brought him to his knees screaming and didn't stick around to see it happen (+ he also saw Moria / Oz beaut up Zoro pretty bad, and he gave him a few good hits himself)

This chapter raises a few interesting questions tho, i just hope we get answers to some old ones in the next few, like is Ace dead or not

Sure, but if he was a pirate before getting built, it's hard to see why the Marines would make him stronger. Granted, he's a Shichibukai, but the Shichibukai are one of the three world powers -- the others being the Marines/World Government and the Yonkyou. In short, they're rival powers, even if they have a truce.

About knowing Dragon... doesn't pretty much everyone at the level of Kuma know him?

He knew Dragon was Luffy's father. Either Garp's been spilling the beans (plausible), or Dragon knew Kuma well enough to tell him about Luffy. Or I guess the Marines could have otherwise collected intelligence, but telling Kuma that would be kind of pointless.

Seems more likely than them building him first, then him becoming a pirate, then him becoming a shichibukai.
