I hear a manned base couldn't be put on Pluto because it would be a pain in the ass to slow a craft down on arrival.

What if we put a manned base on Triton that served research throughout the Kuiper Belt? Could that be achieved?

How are you going to slow it down upon arrival at Triton? And why are you concerning yourself with such questions when earth's collective space programs is worth shit and can barely send robots to Mars.

Earth's collective space programs are shit because of "common heritage of mankind." Everyone expects everyone else to do it.

Maybe in your third world european country but here America we do shit right.

Aerocapture at Neptune like Cassini, then bi-elliptic transfer to Triton and then... lithobraking?

It's true for probes but that is because we could easily give them less energy with gravity assist so they would arrive at almost the right speed to their destination, but that would also make the voyage a lot longer making it unpractical even for a probe.
With humans the problem is even bigger, the voyage would take too many years anyway with any conventional approach.
The only realistic way to do it is by using a much more efficient propulsion as the nuclear one.
In that case you should have enough propulsion to accelerate and decelerate.
