Issues are getting slightly heated within the One Piece manga, particularly after that lore dump. Regardless of the cacophony of occasions and revelations within the Egghead Arc, one character is hogging the highlight. You’ve most likely guessed it from the title, and it’s certainly Jewellery Bonney.

When you’ve got no concept why, then you might need to veer off from this text. In spite of everything, there might be main spoilers from the most recent manga chapters beneath.

Bonney’s Nika kind opens numerous new potentialities

Jewellery Bonney’s Age-Age Fruit is a Paramythia Satan Fruit that permits its customers to control their targets’ age. By ageing or de-aging herself and her opponents, she positive factors bodily benefits over them. It additionally permits her to slide previous settlements and numerous securities. Nevertheless, it seems that Bonney’s age manipulation goes past the current timeline. Within the manga, she simply remodeled into Gear 5 Luffy by pulling from what she refers to as a distorted future.

This then raises the query of the bounds of her fruit’s skills. If Bonney can entry potential futures, then it’s extremely possible that she will additionally manifest the futures whereby she acquires the facility of different Satan Fruit customers. Even whether it is restricted to Human-Human Fruit skills, it nonetheless affords her numerous choices. For example, there’s Sengoku’s Human-Human Fruit, Mannequin: Buddha.

Nevertheless, I don’t need to go overboard and say Bonney’s Satan Fruit tops Luffy’s Satan Fruit. There are definitely limitations to her energy, although the specifics are but to be revealed. For now, we will solely speculate to what they’re. What we do know is that she can’t maintain her Nika kind for lengthy intervals of time, because it takes an infinite quantity of vitality.

One other essential question is whether or not she will really make the most of Nika’s energy — affecting actuality and the atmosphere — or whether or not her transformation is proscribed to copying the bodily kind. Personally, I feel the latter is true. One Piece usually places limitations on its Satan Fruit skills, particularly these which are in any other case overpowered. For example, Kozuki Toki’s Time-Time Fruit might permit her to journey into the long run, however she will’t go into the previous. She additionally can’t alter her location throughout her traversal.

Even with that limitation, the Age-Age Fruit nonetheless jumps up within the rating of the strongest Satan Fruits within the sequence. Just by imitating the Human-Human Fruit, Mannequin: Buddha’s kind, she will achieve impeccable protection. Equally, the Human-Human Fruit, Mannequin: Onyudo’s gigantic bodily will bolster her bodily skills. In fact, there are additionally Nika’s rubbery attributes.

Bonney often is the subsequent Straw Hat

Luffy’s transformation into Nika has pressured the 5 Elders themselves to make a transfer. One purpose for that’s the risk that his energy poses to the World Authorities, and another excuse is the fruit’s connection to the Void Century.

This places Bonney in a precarious place. Her newfound skills, whereas extremely highly effective, additionally make her a high-priority goal for the World Authorities. The 5 Elders, who already see Luffy as a major risk, will probably not take one other particular person wielding related powers. Bonney is then pressured to hunt refuge from the Straw Hat Pirates. In spite of everything, the World Authorities has the whole Egghead locked down. The one approach out is thru the trail created by the Straw Hat Pirates and the Giants.

There are two methods to do that. Bonney can both ally herself with the Straw Hat Pirates, as Child and Legislation did or be a part of the crew altogether. I feel the latter is extra possible for numerous causes. In contrast to Legislation and Child, Bonney’s crew is primarily fabricated from fishermen who needed to guard her. That being mentioned, their fight skills are additionally removed from Child and Legislation’s troupes. Going through the World Authorities might merely result in their demise.

Now, right here’s the factor. Bonney has already realized of Kuma’s previous in Egghead. She realized her tragic backstory, in addition to the sacrifices everyone made for her. There’s the predicament. On one hand, she probably wouldn’t need to sacrifice her crewmates for her purpose. On one other hand, she wouldn’t need to let the World Authorities get away after what they’ve executed to her father, Bartholomew Kuma. One of the best plan of action she will take is to affix the Straw Hat Pirates. By doing so, she positive factors the Straw Hat Pirates’ help and safety whereas additionally providing her skills to assist their trigger. Principally, it’s a win-win state of affairs.
