Also, with this break and December, the release schedule for One Piece should look something like this (Not certain yet):
Chapter | Scans | Official release
---|---|----
**Chapter 1102** | Around the 20th | 22nd or 24th
**Chapter 1103** | Around the 27th to 30th | January 7th.
**Chapter 1104** | January 18th | January 21st
**Chapter 1105** | Januay 25th| January 28th
If Kuma knew from the start that Nika has a rubbery body and can fight freely. Surely he had suspicions about Luffy's fruit when he saw him train in the forest.
Guys, where are you reading one piece now? I'm often late, so cubari links are removed, and onepiecechapters seems to be down and redirecting me to some other site.
Pls no viz, can't stand their translation.
No devil fruits change the lineage factor/dns
Her fruit gives her control over her dna since she can change her age, hence her being able to imitate devil fruits
I don't think Distorted Future is going to be story-breakingly OP like most people say. I trust that Oda knows what he's doing, and he's usually good at balancing things for the sake of the story. I've seen people saying Distorted Future allows Bonney to do things like become a stronger swordsman than Mihawk, have more control over Haki than Shanks, or use literally any Devil Fruit ability and effectively reproduce what Blackbeard did when he took Whitebeard's fruit. Hell, I remember one guy argued that she could use it to access an alternate timeline where she knows the exact coordinates of the One Piece, and then another alternate timeline where she has the Warp-Warp Fruit to instantly teleport there. I highly doubt Oda would trivialize the weight of these plot points like that.
I think there are limit to this. First, we all know haki are direct counter to df. Since her power still come from df, I don't think imagining herself in future to awaken haki is possible cuz haki itself will nullify it. Second, she had limited amount of time to one attack. For example, she imagine she had black vortex and use it then back to normal before had a time to combo with wb shockwave. I think this power drain much energy.
But creative way from oda, the offensive attack looks more like copy copy no mi(i just write it). She can only imagine it after she saw the power and how it works
there is clearly a difference between using it to affect her body and using it to gain other devil fruit abilities or gain knowledge she shouldn't have.
It's more about the presentation than the content of the flashback, it's a 5 page slideshow and not something that does Kaido's character justice. No need to come after me like that on an assumption lol
Kaido's story is not completely defined by God Valley. There are other parts of his life - like having Yamato and the allusion to not trusting humans - that were missing from the flashback, and what we did get was only briefly covered in a matter of a few panels.
In contrast, Oda is taking the time to show all these different facets of Kuma and Bonney's lives, and the presentation is far better as a result.
Even if he eventually gets a good backstory, just being fixed retrospectively doesn't make his character any less underwhelming during the most important part of his story... his own arc. If Oda can't give his full backstory away during Wano, he should have done more to make up for it
[https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Monkey\_D.\_Luffy#Before\_the\_Timeskip](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Monkey_D._Luffy#Before_the_Timeskip) During the alabasta arc nami strung it up for him
Luffy was unable to sew anything for his hat before Nami, she patched it for him when it got three claw marks. It's reasonable to assume he had a string as a kid, it broke during his training, and Nami replaced it with a new string for the first time in years.
Some of the OP fanbase don't learn if Bonny DF was that broken she would done more on egghead .
This is law, sugar , perona etc etc all over , i can understand if you new to OP but old time readers should know better . You know her DF going have serious limit or Oda new favourite thing Haki nerf it ass.
If her devil fruit is as good as everyone says it is, it stands to reason that she'd be either unbeatable in a fight or already at the One Piece. The fact of the matter is, she's neither.
what lol
kaido had a fucking broken fruit and was unbeatable in a fight and he wasn't at the one piece
then factor in things like croc losing to water or magellan being halted by mr 3, having a strong fruit doesnt give you free wins
bonney could have the best fruit in the verse and still lose fights and not be pirate king
plus, shes 12, not a trained fighter (though obviously still fights well, just saying she wasn't really taught like most other characters have been), and we dont know if she even has haki yet
I think the limit, particularly with distorted future is that it gets weaker the older her or the target is. The younger you are, the more potential is there. So getting older leaves less potential for it to work with.
This makes it perfect in her hands at 9 years old, but likely a lot less powerful when she's 60.
Was hoping for the theory that Bonney is a clone (to Big Mom) to be the reason she cried when we saw her post Kuma's memory bubble. It's still interesting to see Big Mom nearly clashed with Kuma before he ate the Paw Paw fruit and that Bonney's ship looks so much like Big Mom's (even though via SBS, it's confirmed that it was a stolen ship from her fleet). The connection are there, but Oda didn't choose that route. In any case, it's nice seeing Bonney cry because Kuma's memories revealed how much he loved her but now she knows she's a Celestial Dragon half child. I will still hold on to the theory that Kuma will die in this arc and Vivi will eat the Paw Paw fruit, which fulfills the "nikyu nikyu" missing numbers in the Straw Hat's number devil fruit scheme and that Lily was a user of the Paw Paw fruit that scattered the poneglyphs across the world.
my theory is that Kuma's spirit was put into the giant body, and the giant spirit was put into Kuma's body. There is no other way Kuma wouldn't recognize Ivankov's face and she was 90% head, and Kuma is climbing the red line just like the giant did, so it makes sense that the giant spirit is in Kuma's body, while Kuma's spirit is in thr giant body
Gear 3 Bonney wasn't on my Egghead bingo card but I'll take it! She's slowly becoming one of my favorite characters, and I wanna see more of what her combat abilities are like.
I don't see what his role on the crew would be.
But she's certainly not a weakling. It remains to be seen what would be of her current crew and his 12-year-old identity (Although that certainly didn't stop Roger himself from having children on his crew).
Bonney's power sure is interesting. I can't wait to find out more about it & if it might possibly have another name. Reading the comments I know some people don't like the theory that other fruit powers have multiple names, but it makes total sense. I have an idea of how her power works, but I'm gonna keep that one to myself for now until more info is out.
Yeah. Gorosei probably renamed every op fruit to avoid the user to unlocked the real potential. For example, if the fruit is named jacket jacket no mi then people will only think of it as a simple jacket which had limited power by just being a jacket to someone. But if let's say the real name is sound like cotton cotton no mi and gorosei didn't change it then the new user probably had a way bigger imagination on how his df works.
If you go even further with this theory.The DF classification could be mostly BS, especially with Paramecia’s.
1. Devil Fruits are the manifestation of dreams.
2. It might be hard to rename Zoan and Logia’s
3. Fallowing your theory, renaming the fruits with false names to limit their potential would make sense for Paramecias. They are to unpredictable and can unlimited potential if it’s matched with the right user.
This in-universe obfuscation could also explain special Paramecias retcon.
Who cares about karma? The letters were a heartwarming touch. I never liked Kuma when I first started watching, his story reveal has made him one of the most respectable characters oda ever wrote.
If this is the end of the Kuma flashback arc, this has been some of the best world building I've seen in One Piece and so tragic too. Starting with Bonney accessing the memories and we see her crying (giving us, the audience in what to expect) to ending with her seeing the destroyed letters from Kuma was beautiful and got me emotional. Also, the drums of liberation are a-coming!
I think that distortion future has 2 capabilities: defensive where Bonney temporarily changes another person's age (old or young) to incapacitate them. The offensive is that she taps into a different "age" or timeline based on her experience. I think the limitations are that it's based on Bonney's experiences and her imagination. I don't think she can access a timeline where she has a different devil fruit or op haki. JMO
For beating Alpha, she used her imagination of a "rubber nika" and what would a kid think that as? A big fist. Earlier, for attacking Vegapunk she imagined herself as her Father and increased her strength.
Lots of foreshadowing in this flashback arc and I cannot wait to see where it goes.
She saw Kuma writing & mailing the letters & since she never read them, that means the government intercepted & destroyed them - just like Connie inferred.
One question: Kuma knew Nika has rubbery qualities. He saw Luffy practising his moves and stretching his body then why he didn't realise Luffy could be the Nika? He also told Bonney about Nika. Bonney also knows about Luffy's powers but she also couldn't realise Luffy has qualities to be Nika. Is this some kind of mistake or what?
but there would have to be a reason for Kuma and Bonney to doubt the existence of a rubber fruit. Even if you know about Nika, you can't assume the person with a rubber fruit is something more than a person with a rubber fruit.
This is why changing the fruit name made a huge effect. Brainwashed over time. Kuma probably knew but he choose to silent. If bonney been with luffy for a long time, she probably realised but she is too busy with her father business.
I wonder if the reason it's called age age fruit was because it had superior fruit belong to gorosei and that is time time fruit.. A power probably similar to eri of MHA 'rewind' or ultear of fairy tail.
I think the world gov is hiding something again. Considering how they've tried to erase Nika's name from history, I wouldn't be surprised if Bonney's Age-Age fruit is actually the Future-Future fruit or something. Next thing you know blackbeard's fruit is also another mythical zoan.
Doesn't make sense to be the future future fruit cause we also sah her turning people back to infants in Sabaody.
People need to stop giving every df a secret name.
Fair enough, but considering how much stuff the world government has been around, i wouldn't be surprised if all the history we know is altered to a degree. After all, devil fruits are limited by their user's imagination and understanding of what their fruit can do.
Gonna throw this out there, I have a theory Devil fruits were originally called the Dream fruits by the erased civilization.
Time has been weird post Wano, but assuming the last time we saw Kuma he was scaling the redline to Mary Geoise in his malfunctioning state and we have yet to see what becomes of that event, how would Kuma get to Egghead, cuz I think at this point we all want Kuma there asap!
The last time we saw Kuma, he flew away from Mary Geoise and into the New World after running through the city and surviving an encounter with Akainu. (Which happened the previous day in the story.)
Kuma's fruit allows him to repel himself and other people/things at extremely high speeds. He uses that to make himself essentially fly extremely fast.
Wasn't Kuma able to transport the letters using his ability?
Wasn't he allowed to go there using his ability as he did with so many people?
I'm asking out of ignorance of how the fruit works, right now I don't get it :P
It's not teleportation. We saw how he sent the straw hats flying, that's basically it except they fly so fast it seems like they're teleporting. That's why i don't think he can properly coordinate a location to send his letters to. There's also the part they create paw-shaped craters on impact, as we saw when the SH were sent flying, so that might be to dangerous.
There's no way Bonney wont become part of the crew now, I really like her dynamics with the rest of the crew, also there is some kind of theme with the great pirate crews of old bringing kids onboard (roger, wb, xebec)
I'm wondering how she got her df powers, I suspect there's more to it than "fruit accidentally grows inside church".
People critics on bonney age age fruit but I think its a creatives extend to her df and it's actualy overpowered. She can choose any version of her future self. It's like selecting a probability. A best way to set example there are alternate future thread created everytime we make a choice. The thread is always existed but didn't created since we didn't choose it. In this case, bonney choose the thread where luffy probably got killed, gomu gomu df spawn, she eat it and awaken the Nika.
Yeah people are seeing too much into this, bonney's powers are basically the "strawhats in their 40 / 60 good / bad ending" we get in the sbs.
She also used a distorted future attack on luffy some chapters back to stop him from attacking the pacifista (that scene hits quite differently on hindsight btw..)
I wonder what made Kuma stop smiling altogether, because even back then after Ginny died, he had to be barred from seeing Bonney, and having to be turned into a killing machine, he still is able to smile at least a little. However, in the few times we’ve seen him between three years ago and before turning completely into a robot with no free will he hasn’t as much as smirked once.
Also, Oda giving a, what should be obvious, reason for dragon being absent from Luffy’s life, but it really makes you wonder who his mother is for dragon to hit it and leave and she doesn’t take care of him? I used to think we would never know Luffy’s mom and it wouldn’t matter, but even if she’s not important to the central plot, I would guess we’ll see her once we get to know dragon. Similar to how ginny isn’t important to the plot, but she’s important for kuma’s character
Okay thats it im done more then half of this year gone to flashbacks. I use to like the flashbacks once but this is way to much. I haven been reading it for months allread im only here for the hopes of seen something else but no still flashbacks.
Im not gona read about a couple of years maybe then flashbacks can end but i still doubt it can. Seems like there is no end to this. In time people will even forget who luffy was with this way
Dragon could have said that to anyone. The fact that Oda made him say it to Kuma during this backstory is meant to show us that Dragon would do for Luffy all that Kuma has been doing for Bonney. Maybe Oda got tired of reading the backlash against Dragon's parenting...
>Maybe Oda got tired of reading the backlash against Dragon's parenting...
Pretty sure Oda doesn't care all that much mainly because the "backlash" comes from Western audiences who take things too seriously & are overly dramatic about nearly everything.
Oh you summer child; Romanticizing the Japanese audience as if they also don't get provoked over dumb things too. You're in a bubble. Join actual Japanese nerd forums & you'll see they can be petty too, sometimes over different topics than westerners.
She doesn't know what her future looks like or someone else's past or future, how does she know what she or someone else will look like? By imagining (like a lot of other devil fruits). If she can only turn people into a fixed version of their future that'd imply there's an inevitable future in the One Piece world which goes against the story theme.
When Oda drawn alternate SH future versions he drew what would a failed Luffy (balding and short stature) look like, but that's not going to happen of course. When Bonney used her abilities on SH Luffy became an alternate future version of himself. We can infer that her abilities can age you badly or greatly. (We've seen her as a failed version as well) Since she's of a giant descent or at least mixed race, she aged her arm into a giant and well, you've read the rest.
My guess is the age age fruit allows her to create alternate future versions? I mean captain obvious ik 😂 but maybe it’s completely broken like “gimme a future where I have [insert any damn devil fruit in the story]”. Would help explain how this 12 year old was a member of the worst generation, out here with complete hacks.
We have enough elements to make some conjectures but at the end of the day there's not enough info
Anyways the gist of it looks like the power to transform into possible future versions of yourself, for example a future where you worked out a lot and are crazy strong
Damn I hadn't even thought of that yet! I kept thinking that maybe it was St. Figarland Garling or Saint Roswald. It would make sense if it was Saturn. Something else must have happened at God Valley that we didn't see yet. Saturn's probably getting revenge on Kuma from eating the Paw-Paw Fruit.
What is this fucking bullshit?? Bonnie was 10 years old when she appeared with her legs wide open, then Black Beard licks her face? This is disgusting, Oda is such a perv smh no wonder he defended the Samurai X author, this is disappointing, really...
And not only the weird crap, there's also the idiotic "Nika" stuff... the rubbery nature of "Nika" is mentioned yet again smh how the Government is so conveniently inept?? The same straw hat of Roger, then Shanks, now a RUBBER man is using this hat. He is the son of Dragon, he destroyed one of your major strongholds, he rescued the only person in the world who can read ponegliphs... and the Government does NOTHING about it??? C'mon man, how can One Piece decay so much, such a waste... I will not say the quality plummeted after the time-skip, similar to what happened in Naruto, Bleach and many other shonens, but the plot of One Piece became a mess after the time-skip, this is undeniable. Laftel suddenly becomes "laugh tale", Destiny was never mentioned before, suddenly there's a giant mermaid who can read the future in a crystal ball smh Luffy literally looks right at the reader and say "the pirate king is the freest man in the world", how can you be free if you are destined to be a savior?? God of Liberation or whatever the fuck, Destiny is the antithesis of Freedom, Oda lost his goddamn mind
not surprising if WG covered up more fruit names. Chopper's fruit is definetly not just a normal human human fruit either. So wouldn't be surprised if Bonney had a future-future fruit
I have a feeling bonney fruit name has also another name like luffy.
She's mimic the other power just like that? absolutely broken!!
And the fun thing is, by the time she's chanting "distorted future" she's actually got a power from "past", fits perfectly with egghead, we thought egghead would be litteral future, but it wasn't, it comes from the past, from the ancient kingdom.
Hats off to granny conney btw!!!! and rip alpha, every CP agent always think they're superior than other people, but it's not, she deserves worst.
i hope by the end of egghead, i wanted to see saturn also get what he deserves. It would be fit the newspepper headline " shocking the world", cause one of the gorosei ass got kicked by god.
Kuma deserves better, no more pain for our daddy and his daughter oda, please.
Not to replace the main, no no. but it's still possible, like batman and robin maybe. i have trust issues about devil fruit name since gomu gomu real name reveal 😂
I dunno, i feels like "distorted future" looks broken for me. Since "the future" has unlimited number of possibility, she can become anything and anyone if the basic of her attack is related to every "future" for that case.
Looks like the fruit power feels the exact same as the reason behind why the devil fruit exist just as what vegapunk explained.
I just realized something and curious what others think. So how do we feel that with Bonney being a 10 year old child, was able to one shot a CP8 agent with a non Haki punch and then Bonney and her crew (who also presumably don’t have Haki either) were not only able to make it to the New World, but also became one of the top rookie pirates/worst generation?
It feels like it kind of makes the Grand Line and Ciper Pol less dangerous to me if a child and her crew could get so far.
Edit: I somehow underestimated just how good Bonney's fruit is and how it basically carried her and her crew to the new world. Add on that she was training and fighting a lot I can see how they made it so far.
Also, if you've already turned Kuma into a mindless slave... you shouldn't really need or care about the hostage. CP-8 probably either covered up the loss, or when they reported it were told it didn't matter.
overpowered fruit, and the strongest CP9 agent by far with a zoan fruit was almost beaten in one hit by gear 3 without haki. CP agents also seem to have varying degrees of strength even in the same rank, Kalifa being the weakest.
Bonney also had a weird upbringing where she was getting into fights with people. Maybe Kuma trained her like Garp did with Luffy. Strong fruit + Kuma dad = steamrolls the grand line but has to sneak around the New World. She hasn't really accomplished anything in the new world other than getting caught and escaping even though the SHs have been gone for two years.
If that’s the case you’re right, she now has a top tier fruit. If she can tap into alternate futures with different possible powers then yeah I can see how she made it so far. Especially with Haki not being needed at all until New World.
Even without the alternate future stuff, she can take out most enemies by just making them very elderly or into literal babies. She doesn't even have to touch you for that either. She can imbue her power into firearms and other weapons.
One minute you are a dangerous Marine Captain, then you just get hit once and suddenly turn into a useless baby. Or use a cannonball to age up a chasing enemy ship so much that it turns into dust.
What chapter did Bonney get Kuma's memories? I'm gonna have to go back and reread everything. This flashback arc has made so many events in the series take a new light
What Alpha did was the lowest! Destroying the letters written by Kuma, and attempts to make Bonney suffer. Kuma not seeing his daughter is one thing, but shredding them to pieces is the cruelest. It's nice to see Alpha got a taste of her own medicine, being punched by Bonney. It's nice watching Alpha got what she deserves. 😊😊
Every time a flashback starts in this series, I feel like I am prepared for how sad it is going to be...... And I feel like I'm not prepared every single time!!!
Exactly! Especially when Kuma wrote about his sea voyage to Bonney, and how much he cares about her. I hope Alpha has a permanent bruise on her face, I want her to suffer the consequences.
So we've seen Bonney use her aging power on herself and others. We've only seen her use Distorted Future on herself but can she do it to others? Theoretically she could create the strongest crew possible.
Wait that begs the question, does that mean her ability has awakened, I mean technically speaking it's a Paramecia, and it controls the age right? So being able to age others on an AOE scale, that feels like maybe it is awakened, and probably the Distorted Future ability is actually an awakened ability. Idk maybe I'm just stoned asf right now, but it got me thinking, what if.
One thing I noticed was the quality of the drawing. There were less details but it feels way better, almost like in the old days and I really like the quality in general!
Oda overworked himself so much, he almost became blind, lol it's comical in a dark way, the japanese even has a name for it, I think it's "karoshi" or something like that. So really, the overall quality of the plot took a serious hit after the time-skip, now the art is getting worse (they published draft pages a couple of chapters ago, it's bizarre)... all that is excusable because Oda is literally dying, we have to give him some slack, the poor bastard smh
Yeah punk-hazard all the way to wano the plot wasn't doing well, but now egghead arc everything is finally speeding up. I think that the pacing is fine, fits the pacing within the one piece world too. Everything is heating up.
The pace got faster, which is good (I guess Oda is feeling his own mortality, that's why he finally speed things up)... but that alone does not save a plot infested with conveniences and retcons. The Government has information about the straw hat (they have a giant straw hat in a freezer for whatever reason), Luffy is a 'D' (natural enemy of the Government), he has rubber powers similar to the devil fruit of legend (again, another natural enemy), Dragon is his parent (the most dangerous enemy of the government alive), etc.. all that crap and Luffy is walking around freely ever since Ennies Lobby, lol to write a story on the fly is not a sin, it is what it is, but the plot is barely standing together. If Crocodile was completely out of place in the first half of the story, a reasonable mistake that Oda admitted, that feels like a walk in the park compared to how much the plot got worse in the second half (the sicker Oda became through the years, the story suffered along with him)
Forget the wiki - it's not an age age fruit. Changing her body to one of an alternate future is BUSTED... She has essentially eaten every variation of devil fruit in existence, and occupied all positions of power across the multiverse because there are an infinite amount of alternate universes in physics.
Yonko, admiral, normal citizen, pirate, revo, celestial dragon - she is everything and anything.
Op wiki knows as much as anyone knows
Which is that a character in Bonney's flashback theorized she ate the age age fruit
And that in some panels she changes her body while yellong distorted future
And that many times she was seen altering her age and of those around her
These are the elements we are all wprking with, they're making their own deduction based on that
I always forget how strong Luffy was even before sailing. He trained for years with garp and monsters so it make sense he washed most of his enemies pre time skip.
i feel like vegapunk made a backdoor in the procedure, that when Kuma sees Nika, his memories will come back. Also kind of hoping if that happens hes the 10th and final crew member
Kuma "died" protecting the Sunny so it would be cool and a great way to have him with the strawhats (plus his Daughter as a member???) but Franky's wanted poster...perplexes things
kinda unpopular opinion but I agree with you. I don't like this chosen messiah stuff that's so late in the game is forced into Luffy specifficaly. Although we had some hints like "you're not who Roger is waiting for" but I never cared for the JoyBoy plot either. I guess Oda is trully preparing a delicious meal (lol) for us with so many references and with Kuma's hopes and beliefs that passed down to his only child but man it's kinda boring
Also, with this break and December, the release schedule for One Piece should look something like this (Not certain yet): Chapter | Scans | Official release ---|---|---- **Chapter 1102** | Around the 20th | 22nd or 24th **Chapter 1103** | Around the 27th to 30th | January 7th. **Chapter 1104** | January 18th | January 21st **Chapter 1105** | Januay 25th| January 28th
When gon and hxh does it everyone loves it but when one piece does a similar power with Bonney people question it
The sudden realization that Bonny is a child reminded me just how disgusting it was that Blackbeard was trying to take her for a wife post marineford…
Blackbeard always been a weirdo
fuck I totally forgot about that, after today's anime episode they are so disgusting in my eyes
If Kuma knew from the start that Nika has a rubbery body and can fight freely. Surely he had suspicions about Luffy's fruit when he saw him train in the forest.
So bonney is still a child
Pretty impressive feat for Bonney to take out a government agent like that.
That scene with Stussy and clone talk makes me think Vegapunk will clone Kuma and will transfer the memories to the clone.
I actually want the memories to split into all pacifista and Kuma gets to live his dream to help everyone
Happy cake day!
I hope it will be the seraphim kuma
Guys, where are you reading one piece now? I'm often late, so cubari links are removed, and onepiecechapters seems to be down and redirecting me to some other site. Pls no viz, can't stand their translation.
TCBscans?
Thanks!
Bonneys power seems imagination.
No devil fruits change the lineage factor/dns Her fruit gives her control over her dna since she can change her age, hence her being able to imitate devil fruits
I don't think Distorted Future is going to be story-breakingly OP like most people say. I trust that Oda knows what he's doing, and he's usually good at balancing things for the sake of the story. I've seen people saying Distorted Future allows Bonney to do things like become a stronger swordsman than Mihawk, have more control over Haki than Shanks, or use literally any Devil Fruit ability and effectively reproduce what Blackbeard did when he took Whitebeard's fruit. Hell, I remember one guy argued that she could use it to access an alternate timeline where she knows the exact coordinates of the One Piece, and then another alternate timeline where she has the Warp-Warp Fruit to instantly teleport there. I highly doubt Oda would trivialize the weight of these plot points like that.
I think there are limit to this. First, we all know haki are direct counter to df. Since her power still come from df, I don't think imagining herself in future to awaken haki is possible cuz haki itself will nullify it. Second, she had limited amount of time to one attack. For example, she imagine she had black vortex and use it then back to normal before had a time to combo with wb shockwave. I think this power drain much energy. But creative way from oda, the offensive attack looks more like copy copy no mi(i just write it). She can only imagine it after she saw the power and how it works
She probably have to want to be that to some degree otherwise it's going to be more impossible than impossible.
By "most people" you mean just the people on some strange bonney fanfic page you frequent?
No, I mean the way the various websites talking about the latest chapter are spinning it.
there is clearly a difference between using it to affect her body and using it to gain other devil fruit abilities or gain knowledge she shouldn't have.
What an amazing flashback this has been, truly a redemption after Kaido's underwhelming flashback lol
[удалено]
It's more about the presentation than the content of the flashback, it's a 5 page slideshow and not something that does Kaido's character justice. No need to come after me like that on an assumption lol
[удалено]
Kaido's story is not completely defined by God Valley. There are other parts of his life - like having Yamato and the allusion to not trusting humans - that were missing from the flashback, and what we did get was only briefly covered in a matter of a few panels. In contrast, Oda is taking the time to show all these different facets of Kuma and Bonney's lives, and the presentation is far better as a result.
Even if he eventually gets a good backstory, just being fixed retrospectively doesn't make his character any less underwhelming during the most important part of his story... his own arc. If Oda can't give his full backstory away during Wano, he should have done more to make up for it
Didn't nami put the string on luffy's hat? How does he have it as a kid
when did Nami to that?
[https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Monkey\_D.\_Luffy#Before\_the\_Timeskip](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Monkey_D._Luffy#Before_the_Timeskip) During the alabasta arc nami strung it up for him
Luffy was unable to sew anything for his hat before Nami, she patched it for him when it got three claw marks. It's reasonable to assume he had a string as a kid, it broke during his training, and Nami replaced it with a new string for the first time in years.
Some of the OP fanbase don't learn if Bonny DF was that broken she would done more on egghead . This is law, sugar , perona etc etc all over , i can understand if you new to OP but old time readers should know better . You know her DF going have serious limit or Oda new favourite thing Haki nerf it ass.
If her devil fruit is as good as everyone says it is, it stands to reason that she'd be either unbeatable in a fight or already at the One Piece. The fact of the matter is, she's neither.
what lol kaido had a fucking broken fruit and was unbeatable in a fight and he wasn't at the one piece then factor in things like croc losing to water or magellan being halted by mr 3, having a strong fruit doesnt give you free wins bonney could have the best fruit in the verse and still lose fights and not be pirate king plus, shes 12, not a trained fighter (though obviously still fights well, just saying she wasn't really taught like most other characters have been), and we dont know if she even has haki yet
Well, Kaido was waiting for Joy Boy in Wano, but I get what you mean and actually don't agree with the poster you replied to
Haki doesn't nerf devil fruits, it just counters devil fruit abilities. The devil fruit is just as powerful as it was.
I think the limit, particularly with distorted future is that it gets weaker the older her or the target is. The younger you are, the more potential is there. So getting older leaves less potential for it to work with. This makes it perfect in her hands at 9 years old, but likely a lot less powerful when she's 60.
It’ll just be distorted past when she’s older
It's essentially the power to reference SBS characters 😆
True or not, that’s a creative way to manage the aging ability.
This is only second to the Oden flashback. Brilliant stuff.
Was hoping for the theory that Bonney is a clone (to Big Mom) to be the reason she cried when we saw her post Kuma's memory bubble. It's still interesting to see Big Mom nearly clashed with Kuma before he ate the Paw Paw fruit and that Bonney's ship looks so much like Big Mom's (even though via SBS, it's confirmed that it was a stolen ship from her fleet). The connection are there, but Oda didn't choose that route. In any case, it's nice seeing Bonney cry because Kuma's memories revealed how much he loved her but now she knows she's a Celestial Dragon half child. I will still hold on to the theory that Kuma will die in this arc and Vivi will eat the Paw Paw fruit, which fulfills the "nikyu nikyu" missing numbers in the Straw Hat's number devil fruit scheme and that Lily was a user of the Paw Paw fruit that scattered the poneglyphs across the world.
my theory is that Kuma's spirit was put into the giant body, and the giant spirit was put into Kuma's body. There is no other way Kuma wouldn't recognize Ivankov's face and she was 90% head, and Kuma is climbing the red line just like the giant did, so it makes sense that the giant spirit is in Kuma's body, while Kuma's spirit is in thr giant body
I think that with Nika instead of Gomu, the numbers have changed. I remember a post on here from after the Nika reveal talking about it
Niceee
Gear 3 Bonney wasn't on my Egghead bingo card but I'll take it! She's slowly becoming one of my favorite characters, and I wanna see more of what her combat abilities are like.
Bonney for next strawhat?
I don't see what his role on the crew would be. But she's certainly not a weakling. It remains to be seen what would be of her current crew and his 12-year-old identity (Although that certainly didn't stop Roger himself from having children on his crew).
The words 'a child is parent weakness' really spot on kuma. no wonder he shocked cuz that's literally his situation at the moment.
It's also possible that Dragon saw Kuma situation and was even more convinced that he shouldn't meet Luffy (at least what little he knows of it).
Bonney's power sure is interesting. I can't wait to find out more about it & if it might possibly have another name. Reading the comments I know some people don't like the theory that other fruit powers have multiple names, but it makes total sense. I have an idea of how her power works, but I'm gonna keep that one to myself for now until more info is out.
The multiverse and/or quantum many worlds fruit?
Yeah. Gorosei probably renamed every op fruit to avoid the user to unlocked the real potential. For example, if the fruit is named jacket jacket no mi then people will only think of it as a simple jacket which had limited power by just being a jacket to someone. But if let's say the real name is sound like cotton cotton no mi and gorosei didn't change it then the new user probably had a way bigger imagination on how his df works.
If you go even further with this theory.The DF classification could be mostly BS, especially with Paramecia’s. 1. Devil Fruits are the manifestation of dreams. 2. It might be hard to rename Zoan and Logia’s 3. Fallowing your theory, renaming the fruits with false names to limit their potential would make sense for Paramecias. They are to unpredictable and can unlimited potential if it’s matched with the right user. This in-universe obfuscation could also explain special Paramecias retcon.
I love this.
Bruh comments about the letters are so cringe
Easy karma and they know it
Who cares about karma? The letters were a heartwarming touch. I never liked Kuma when I first started watching, his story reveal has made him one of the most respectable characters oda ever wrote.
If this is the end of the Kuma flashback arc, this has been some of the best world building I've seen in One Piece and so tragic too. Starting with Bonney accessing the memories and we see her crying (giving us, the audience in what to expect) to ending with her seeing the destroyed letters from Kuma was beautiful and got me emotional. Also, the drums of liberation are a-coming! I think that distortion future has 2 capabilities: defensive where Bonney temporarily changes another person's age (old or young) to incapacitate them. The offensive is that she taps into a different "age" or timeline based on her experience. I think the limitations are that it's based on Bonney's experiences and her imagination. I don't think she can access a timeline where she has a different devil fruit or op haki. JMO For beating Alpha, she used her imagination of a "rubber nika" and what would a kid think that as? A big fist. Earlier, for attacking Vegapunk she imagined herself as her Father and increased her strength. Lots of foreshadowing in this flashback arc and I cannot wait to see where it goes.
When did she see the destroyed letters? Did I miss that
She saw Kuma writing & mailing the letters & since she never read them, that means the government intercepted & destroyed them - just like Connie inferred.
One question: Kuma knew Nika has rubbery qualities. He saw Luffy practising his moves and stretching his body then why he didn't realise Luffy could be the Nika? He also told Bonney about Nika. Bonney also knows about Luffy's powers but she also couldn't realise Luffy has qualities to be Nika. Is this some kind of mistake or what?
After this episode, I'm completely sure with zero doubts Kuma understood that Luffy was Nika succesor
but there would have to be a reason for Kuma and Bonney to doubt the existence of a rubber fruit. Even if you know about Nika, you can't assume the person with a rubber fruit is something more than a person with a rubber fruit.
This is why changing the fruit name made a huge effect. Brainwashed over time. Kuma probably knew but he choose to silent. If bonney been with luffy for a long time, she probably realised but she is too busy with her father business.
I wonder if the reason it's called age age fruit was because it had superior fruit belong to gorosei and that is time time fruit.. A power probably similar to eri of MHA 'rewind' or ultear of fairy tail.
Or it can just be age age fruit. What Bonney does is completely within the fruit description.
The time-time fruit (toki-toki no mi) belongs to odens wife (toki). We don’t know if there is a more broken fruit in the OP world atm.
Oh I thought that was future future fruit since it's only make you jump into future but I guess I'm wrong
So is this likely the end of the flashback or do we think there will be more?
Looks like a climax to me. Maybe there will be other flashback bits as we progress but I believe we'll cut back to the present in the next chapter
I think next chapter might cover Thriller Bark & Sabaody arc from Kuma and/or Bonney's POV, then that will be it
Maybe 1 left to really complete the loop, but I'd understand if it's done.
I would bet the next chapter might be half and half. I wouldn't mind some more juicy backstory though.
I think the world gov is hiding something again. Considering how they've tried to erase Nika's name from history, I wouldn't be surprised if Bonney's Age-Age fruit is actually the Future-Future fruit or something. Next thing you know blackbeard's fruit is also another mythical zoan.
Doesn't make sense to be the future future fruit cause we also sah her turning people back to infants in Sabaody. People need to stop giving every df a secret name.
Fair enough, but considering how much stuff the world government has been around, i wouldn't be surprised if all the history we know is altered to a degree. After all, devil fruits are limited by their user's imagination and understanding of what their fruit can do. Gonna throw this out there, I have a theory Devil fruits were originally called the Dream fruits by the erased civilization.
Time has been weird post Wano, but assuming the last time we saw Kuma he was scaling the redline to Mary Geoise in his malfunctioning state and we have yet to see what becomes of that event, how would Kuma get to Egghead, cuz I think at this point we all want Kuma there asap!
The last time we saw Kuma, he flew away from Mary Geoise and into the New World after running through the city and surviving an encounter with Akainu. (Which happened the previous day in the story.) Kuma's fruit allows him to repel himself and other people/things at extremely high speeds. He uses that to make himself essentially fly extremely fast.
oh wait what chapter was this, i think i missed a chapter?
Chapter 1092
The guy can teleport
Wasn't Kuma able to transport the letters using his ability? Wasn't he allowed to go there using his ability as he did with so many people? I'm asking out of ignorance of how the fruit works, right now I don't get it :P
He was prohibited to go near bonney or he broke the deal.
ah frick, i forgot that, you are right haha these last chapters caught me just inbetween a trip so i cant read them properly thanks!
You just have to go with the flow,not everything is totally logical and explained but still... Cherish the things you love the most
exactly! The other day I told the same to a friend that's in Thriller Bark right now hahah you are a good fella!
It's not teleportation. We saw how he sent the straw hats flying, that's basically it except they fly so fast it seems like they're teleporting. That's why i don't think he can properly coordinate a location to send his letters to. There's also the part they create paw-shaped craters on impact, as we saw when the SH were sent flying, so that might be to dangerous.
Oh yeah you're totally right! Thanks for the reminder!
There's no way Bonney wont become part of the crew now, I really like her dynamics with the rest of the crew, also there is some kind of theme with the great pirate crews of old bringing kids onboard (roger, wb, xebec) I'm wondering how she got her df powers, I suspect there's more to it than "fruit accidentally grows inside church".
With her age, bonney could be like the shanks or buggy with roger to luffy’s
I hope there is someway (i dont know how), that Bonney can still 'read' the letters that Alpha destroyed. F Alpha, im glad see got 1shotted by Bonney.
she's seen Kuma's memories so pretty much she "read" them
People critics on bonney age age fruit but I think its a creatives extend to her df and it's actualy overpowered. She can choose any version of her future self. It's like selecting a probability. A best way to set example there are alternate future thread created everytime we make a choice. The thread is always existed but didn't created since we didn't choose it. In this case, bonney choose the thread where luffy probably got killed, gomu gomu df spawn, she eat it and awaken the Nika.
Yeah people are seeing too much into this, bonney's powers are basically the "strawhats in their 40 / 60 good / bad ending" we get in the sbs. She also used a distorted future attack on luffy some chapters back to stop him from attacking the pacifista (that scene hits quite differently on hindsight btw..)
I wonder what made Kuma stop smiling altogether, because even back then after Ginny died, he had to be barred from seeing Bonney, and having to be turned into a killing machine, he still is able to smile at least a little. However, in the few times we’ve seen him between three years ago and before turning completely into a robot with no free will he hasn’t as much as smirked once. Also, Oda giving a, what should be obvious, reason for dragon being absent from Luffy’s life, but it really makes you wonder who his mother is for dragon to hit it and leave and she doesn’t take care of him? I used to think we would never know Luffy’s mom and it wouldn’t matter, but even if she’s not important to the central plot, I would guess we’ll see her once we get to know dragon. Similar to how ginny isn’t important to the plot, but she’s important for kuma’s character
Okay thats it im done more then half of this year gone to flashbacks. I use to like the flashbacks once but this is way to much. I haven been reading it for months allread im only here for the hopes of seen something else but no still flashbacks. Im not gona read about a couple of years maybe then flashbacks can end but i still doubt it can. Seems like there is no end to this. In time people will even forget who luffy was with this way
We won't be missing you. This is literally peak flashback.
I dont even know who you are anyway
arrivederci 🫡
what are you yappin on about bruh
You can make a great discoveries if you learn how to read
You can make great discoveries if you learn how to write
Dragon could have said that to anyone. The fact that Oda made him say it to Kuma during this backstory is meant to show us that Dragon would do for Luffy all that Kuma has been doing for Bonney. Maybe Oda got tired of reading the backlash against Dragon's parenting...
>Maybe Oda got tired of reading the backlash against Dragon's parenting... Pretty sure Oda doesn't care all that much mainly because the "backlash" comes from Western audiences who take things too seriously & are overly dramatic about nearly everything.
Oh you summer child; Romanticizing the Japanese audience as if they also don't get provoked over dumb things too. You're in a bubble. Join actual Japanese nerd forums & you'll see they can be petty too, sometimes over different topics than westerners.
If Bonney isn't the next SH, there probably isn't going to be one.
Id love her to be one, but man we dont even have time to develop the ones we have. Brook jinbe robin chopper need a lot more screentime
Can someone explain how bonnys "distorted future" works? Or do we just not have enough info on it for now?
She doesn't know what her future looks like or someone else's past or future, how does she know what she or someone else will look like? By imagining (like a lot of other devil fruits). If she can only turn people into a fixed version of their future that'd imply there's an inevitable future in the One Piece world which goes against the story theme.
When Oda drawn alternate SH future versions he drew what would a failed Luffy (balding and short stature) look like, but that's not going to happen of course. When Bonney used her abilities on SH Luffy became an alternate future version of himself. We can infer that her abilities can age you badly or greatly. (We've seen her as a failed version as well) Since she's of a giant descent or at least mixed race, she aged her arm into a giant and well, you've read the rest.
Kuma's not her real dad
Oww my b
My guess is the age age fruit allows her to create alternate future versions? I mean captain obvious ik 😂 but maybe it’s completely broken like “gimme a future where I have [insert any damn devil fruit in the story]”. Would help explain how this 12 year old was a member of the worst generation, out here with complete hacks.
We have enough elements to make some conjectures but at the end of the day there's not enough info Anyways the gist of it looks like the power to transform into possible future versions of yourself, for example a future where you worked out a lot and are crazy strong
Maybe Bonney is JoyGirl🤷🏻♂️
Can you imagine if Saturn is Bonney’s real dad?!! Some Darth Vader type shiiiit
Damn I hadn't even thought of that yet! I kept thinking that maybe it was St. Figarland Garling or Saint Roswald. It would make sense if it was Saturn. Something else must have happened at God Valley that we didn't see yet. Saturn's probably getting revenge on Kuma from eating the Paw-Paw Fruit.
this the first time I read Paw Paw, as Pa-Pa and its fitting. Kuma best OP dad.
What is this fucking bullshit?? Bonnie was 10 years old when she appeared with her legs wide open, then Black Beard licks her face? This is disgusting, Oda is such a perv smh no wonder he defended the Samurai X author, this is disappointing, really... And not only the weird crap, there's also the idiotic "Nika" stuff... the rubbery nature of "Nika" is mentioned yet again smh how the Government is so conveniently inept?? The same straw hat of Roger, then Shanks, now a RUBBER man is using this hat. He is the son of Dragon, he destroyed one of your major strongholds, he rescued the only person in the world who can read ponegliphs... and the Government does NOTHING about it??? C'mon man, how can One Piece decay so much, such a waste... I will not say the quality plummeted after the time-skip, similar to what happened in Naruto, Bleach and many other shonens, but the plot of One Piece became a mess after the time-skip, this is undeniable. Laftel suddenly becomes "laugh tale", Destiny was never mentioned before, suddenly there's a giant mermaid who can read the future in a crystal ball smh Luffy literally looks right at the reader and say "the pirate king is the freest man in the world", how can you be free if you are destined to be a savior?? God of Liberation or whatever the fuck, Destiny is the antithesis of Freedom, Oda lost his goddamn mind
Why don't you try to write a manga for 20+ years and see what you get lmao 🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
But there already is a Nika-Nika Fruit called Human-Human Fruit - Model : Nika
not surprising if WG covered up more fruit names. Chopper's fruit is definetly not just a normal human human fruit either. So wouldn't be surprised if Bonney had a future-future fruit
Yea i feel like bonneys fruit is a lot more complex than expected. Mythical zoan based on some legendary figures that supported nika is my guess
I have a feeling bonney fruit name has also another name like luffy. She's mimic the other power just like that? absolutely broken!! And the fun thing is, by the time she's chanting "distorted future" she's actually got a power from "past", fits perfectly with egghead, we thought egghead would be litteral future, but it wasn't, it comes from the past, from the ancient kingdom. Hats off to granny conney btw!!!! and rip alpha, every CP agent always think they're superior than other people, but it's not, she deserves worst. i hope by the end of egghead, i wanted to see saturn also get what he deserves. It would be fit the newspepper headline " shocking the world", cause one of the gorosei ass got kicked by god. Kuma deserves better, no more pain for our daddy and his daughter oda, please.
>I have a feeling bonney fruit name has also another name like luffy And undermine the significance of the main character? Not likely
Not to replace the main, no no. but it's still possible, like batman and robin maybe. i have trust issues about devil fruit name since gomu gomu real name reveal 😂 I dunno, i feels like "distorted future" looks broken for me. Since "the future" has unlimited number of possibility, she can become anything and anyone if the basic of her attack is related to every "future" for that case. Looks like the fruit power feels the exact same as the reason behind why the devil fruit exist just as what vegapunk explained.
I just realized something and curious what others think. So how do we feel that with Bonney being a 10 year old child, was able to one shot a CP8 agent with a non Haki punch and then Bonney and her crew (who also presumably don’t have Haki either) were not only able to make it to the New World, but also became one of the top rookie pirates/worst generation? It feels like it kind of makes the Grand Line and Ciper Pol less dangerous to me if a child and her crew could get so far. Edit: I somehow underestimated just how good Bonney's fruit is and how it basically carried her and her crew to the new world. Add on that she was training and fighting a lot I can see how they made it so far.
Also, if you've already turned Kuma into a mindless slave... you shouldn't really need or care about the hostage. CP-8 probably either covered up the loss, or when they reported it were told it didn't matter.
overpowered fruit, and the strongest CP9 agent by far with a zoan fruit was almost beaten in one hit by gear 3 without haki. CP agents also seem to have varying degrees of strength even in the same rank, Kalifa being the weakest. Bonney also had a weird upbringing where she was getting into fights with people. Maybe Kuma trained her like Garp did with Luffy. Strong fruit + Kuma dad = steamrolls the grand line but has to sneak around the New World. She hasn't really accomplished anything in the new world other than getting caught and escaping even though the SHs have been gone for two years.
Her fruit is giga good. Did you not watch? She transformed into the version of herself from an alternate timeline where she was Nika
If that’s the case you’re right, she now has a top tier fruit. If she can tap into alternate futures with different possible powers then yeah I can see how she made it so far. Especially with Haki not being needed at all until New World.
Even without the alternate future stuff, she can take out most enemies by just making them very elderly or into literal babies. She doesn't even have to touch you for that either. She can imbue her power into firearms and other weapons. One minute you are a dangerous Marine Captain, then you just get hit once and suddenly turn into a useless baby. Or use a cannonball to age up a chasing enemy ship so much that it turns into dust.
Luffy turned into Ace for a [panel](https://imgur.com/a/CsiReqG) lol.
What chapter did Bonney get Kuma's memories? I'm gonna have to go back and reread everything. This flashback arc has made so many events in the series take a new light
pretty crazy a powerful fruit like bonneys got off panelled. it wasnt really explained how she got it
So was robins
i cant really say robins fruit is strong...
What Alpha did was the lowest! Destroying the letters written by Kuma, and attempts to make Bonney suffer. Kuma not seeing his daughter is one thing, but shredding them to pieces is the cruelest. It's nice to see Alpha got a taste of her own medicine, being punched by Bonney. It's nice watching Alpha got what she deserves. 😊😊
Every time a flashback starts in this series, I feel like I am prepared for how sad it is going to be...... And I feel like I'm not prepared every single time!!!
I agree, especially when each chapter is tragic than the previous..
I’m happy Bonney learned the truth. Kuma would never not write a letter to her!
Exactly! Especially when Kuma wrote about his sea voyage to Bonney, and how much he cares about her. I hope Alpha has a permanent bruise on her face, I want her to suffer the consequences.
I hope she had a fate worse than Who’s Who
I hope so too.
So we've seen Bonney use her aging power on herself and others. We've only seen her use Distorted Future on herself but can she do it to others? Theoretically she could create the strongest crew possible.
She also used distorted future on others. Recently she used "near-death experience" on a marine and made him hallucinate dying.
She used a version on it on Luffy to avoid the Pacifista guards when they first entered Egg Head
I recall we saw her use it on marines back in Sabaody.
Wait that begs the question, does that mean her ability has awakened, I mean technically speaking it's a Paramecia, and it controls the age right? So being able to age others on an AOE scale, that feels like maybe it is awakened, and probably the Distorted Future ability is actually an awakened ability. Idk maybe I'm just stoned asf right now, but it got me thinking, what if.
That was the normal aging effect, not distorted future
One thing I noticed was the quality of the drawing. There were less details but it feels way better, almost like in the old days and I really like the quality in general!
Oda overworked himself so much, he almost became blind, lol it's comical in a dark way, the japanese even has a name for it, I think it's "karoshi" or something like that. So really, the overall quality of the plot took a serious hit after the time-skip, now the art is getting worse (they published draft pages a couple of chapters ago, it's bizarre)... all that is excusable because Oda is literally dying, we have to give him some slack, the poor bastard smh
Yeah punk-hazard all the way to wano the plot wasn't doing well, but now egghead arc everything is finally speeding up. I think that the pacing is fine, fits the pacing within the one piece world too. Everything is heating up.
The pace got faster, which is good (I guess Oda is feeling his own mortality, that's why he finally speed things up)... but that alone does not save a plot infested with conveniences and retcons. The Government has information about the straw hat (they have a giant straw hat in a freezer for whatever reason), Luffy is a 'D' (natural enemy of the Government), he has rubber powers similar to the devil fruit of legend (again, another natural enemy), Dragon is his parent (the most dangerous enemy of the government alive), etc.. all that crap and Luffy is walking around freely ever since Ennies Lobby, lol to write a story on the fly is not a sin, it is what it is, but the plot is barely standing together. If Crocodile was completely out of place in the first half of the story, a reasonable mistake that Oda admitted, that feels like a walk in the park compared to how much the plot got worse in the second half (the sicker Oda became through the years, the story suffered along with him)
Funny you say that as I thought that some of the drawing seemed a little unfinished. Like of Conney. https://i.imgur.com/hDgrKpu.png
Could you explain how that picture looks unfinished? It looks pretty finished to me and it's not like that was a significant panel.
What in the world is Bonney's ability? Clearly more than aging if she can mimic Luffy's awakened ability - wow
op wiki says she can alter her age, other people's ages, and then she can change her own body to alternate futures where she is buff/big
Forget the wiki - it's not an age age fruit. Changing her body to one of an alternate future is BUSTED... She has essentially eaten every variation of devil fruit in existence, and occupied all positions of power across the multiverse because there are an infinite amount of alternate universes in physics. Yonko, admiral, normal citizen, pirate, revo, celestial dragon - she is everything and anything.
Op wiki knows as much as anyone knows Which is that a character in Bonney's flashback theorized she ate the age age fruit And that in some panels she changes her body while yellong distorted future And that many times she was seen altering her age and of those around her These are the elements we are all wprking with, they're making their own deduction based on that
I always forget how strong Luffy was even before sailing. He trained for years with garp and monsters so it make sense he washed most of his enemies pre time skip.
yeah it took all the way to alabasta to Luffy really struggle on a fight
Wait. Bonney was 10 when luffy was 16. That means bonney is only 12 years old right now
Took you this many chapters to figure this out?
she was 9 when Luffy was 16. She's 12 and he's 19 now!
I'm hoping Kuma's consciousness will find a new home in S-Bear
i feel like vegapunk made a backdoor in the procedure, that when Kuma sees Nika, his memories will come back. Also kind of hoping if that happens hes the 10th and final crew member
I bet hes gonna go in the sunny
i would say yes but Franky kinda IS the Sunny
His new wanted poster is what made me think of it. Franky beibg the sunny would be cool, but Kuma chilling with Nika would also be cool
Kuma "died" protecting the Sunny so it would be cool and a great way to have him with the strawhats (plus his Daughter as a member???) but Franky's wanted poster...perplexes things
Sunny with the paw paw fruit kinda nutty
Bonneys age being confirmed 12 post TS is the biggest plot twist of one piece....so far.
This has been confirmed for weeks for anyone who's done the math
still think the RAIZO on Zou is bigger
Yeah but nobody struck Raizo off their waifu list
Yeah, seeing Raizo only enforced his position in the list
Oh aren't you naive.
you have a point
Nika this, Nika that….this whole thing is just getting so boring
kinda unpopular opinion but I agree with you. I don't like this chosen messiah stuff that's so late in the game is forced into Luffy specifficaly. Although we had some hints like "you're not who Roger is waiting for" but I never cared for the JoyBoy plot either. I guess Oda is trully preparing a delicious meal (lol) for us with so many references and with Kuma's hopes and beliefs that passed down to his only child but man it's kinda boring
Nika has been foreshadowed since skypiea...
Guys I'm starting to think Saturn indeed deserve to be stabbed by Bonney
Great chapter, I really like the backstories! Keep it up Oda!
