Jewelry Bonney

Jewelry Bonney, also known as the "Big Eater", is one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the Worst Generation, being the captain of the Bonney Pirates, a pirate crew from the South Blue. She is the daughter of Bartholomew Kuma.

Upon reaching the Sabaody Archipelago, she had a bounty of 140,000,000. Two years later, it had been raised to 320,000,000.

She is a companion and major ally of the Straw Hat Pirates during the Egghead Arc.

Appearance
Bonney typically appears to be a slim, curvaceous young woman, despite the enormous amount of food she consumes regularly, with long light pink hair and brown eyes (purple in the anime). However, due to her Devil Fruit ability, she can alter her age and thus change her appearance at will. When taking the form of a child, she has similar, although obviously more childish, facial features, and is not as tall nor as buxom as in her adult form.

Her outfit consists of a white low-cut tank top that exposes both her midriff and cleavage, along with a pair of orange-and-black striped buckled shorts with long, thin suspenders. She also wears black high-heeled boots which reach up to her calves, with large laces coming from the openings, and a pair of hot pink and dark red stockings with a yellow sun-like motif on them (a pattern seen other times in the One Piece world). The hat she wears is a green Furażerka with a light-green lining. She has an anti-eyebrow below her right eye, bright red lipstick on her lips, and is sometimes seen wearing a brown furred jacket.

In SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Bonney is shown with shoulder-length hair as opposed to her current back-length hair and a rounder face. Her clothes and face are somewhat dirty showing that since childhood she had a huge appetite.

After the timeskip, Bonney is shown wearing a black hat (possibly a sunhat similar to Usopp's, judging by the rim) with a brown furred coat or cloak. She also uses pink lipstick as opposed to the red one before the timeskip.

During the Levely Arc, she shows to have the same clothes she wore before the timeskip, but replacing her previous hat with one with earmuffs, in addition to wearing her coat. Her white tanktop also has frills among the rim.

During the Egghead Arc, Bonney is shown wearing a dark colored leotard bodysuit with a hood, along with gloves, thigh-length leggings, an earpiece and a pair of DOM Shoes.

Personality


Befitting her epithet, Bonney is an extremely gluttonous person with very poor table manners. She will, for instance, demand more food even though she has not finished her current meal. She is usually seen eating pizza, her favorite food, even when fighting or on the run.

While Bonney may have an aggressive temper and acts rude, she displays considerable tactfulness. She knows when to fight and when to prevent trouble, particularly in dangerous territories such as the Sabaody Archipelago. When she saw Zoro attempting to attack a World Noble, she orchestrated a scene to fake Zoro's death, knowing full well that such an action would have led to terrible consequences. However, this sense of caution is overwritten when enticing food is involved, similar to Luffy and Chopper. Bonney also believes in the stereotypical view of what a pirate should be and that they all should follow an unspoken agreement of not creating a stir in delicate situations. The idea of a pirate helping wounded strangers also leaves her dumbfounded, implying she is not familiar with altruism among pirates.

While Bonney was originally against the idea of defying the World Nobles due to their statuses and the consequences that would be incurred, preventing Zoro from doing so and aghast at Luffy's actual assault on Saint Charlos, when she realized that her father's mind was killed on the orders of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, Bonney did not hesitate in attacking him, ironically disregarding the consequences herself.

Several instances suggest that Bonney has an unforgiving disposition towards those who wrong her, holding grudges and cursing their name occasionally. She swore to crush the Straw Hat Pirates for the chaos they brought to Sabaody and appears to have a gripe with either the World Government, the Marines or the Blackbeard Pirates, blaming one of those parties for an unknown reason.

Bonney may not be a pleasant individual, but she is capable of respecting others; particularly her fellow members of the Worst Generation, having shown a keen interest in Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law's exploits. While she was willing to leave her crew behind to escape the Marines alone, her relationship with her father, Bartholomew Kuma, was much closer, as she was heartbroken upon witnessing his brutal enslavement at Mary Geoise and even defended a Pacifista unit that resembled her father, proving she is not completely heartless.



Bonney has a severe case of entomophobia, as she fainted from the sight of a whole horde of insects rushing at her. She is pretty vindictive about this aspect of her personality as well, becoming unreasonable and murderous against those who employ her fear against her, regardless of whether or not it was intentional of their part.

Bartholomew Kuma


Bonney's father is Bartholomew Kuma, the former king of Sorbet Kingdom turned Revolutionary then Warlord. Their relationship was a very positive and affectionate one, as Bonney remembered the love her father gave during her childhood, and she knows about Nika from him. She became very outraged towards the World Government for turning her father into a cyborg, followed by enslaving and allowing him to suffer abuse at the hands of the World Nobles. This is further emphasized by the fact that she went to Vegapunk's island base of Egghead to ask questions of him regarding Kuma's Pacifista transformation. Kuma is the only family Bonney has left, as she defended a Pacifista unit that resembles her father from Luffy despite how it was trying to kill them. She also defended her father's true personality whenever people bring up his reputation as a tyrant. Upon discovering her father's memories manifested into a bubble, she resolved herself to viewing them, regardless how painful they are, so she could understand him better. She has a deep love for her father and will defend anything he stands for, even being unable to fight lookalikes due to her past and her devotion to her father.

Crew
Bonney seems to command utter respect from her crew, who will fulfill any need she may require, from her dietary needs to hunting down the one she deems responsible for the calamity during the Whitebeard War. Despite this loyalty, Bonney seems to prioritize her own safety over her crew's as she managed to escape Marine detainment but chose not to rescue her subordinates.

Rivals
Being one of the Eleven Supernovas, Bonney can be counted on as a potential rival to any of the other 10 for the top position of the sea.

Monkey D. Luffy


Though she and Luffy did not actually meet face-to-face on Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy's actions during the Celestial Dragon incident unintentionally garnered him Bonney's fury, which even extended to the rest of the Straw Hats (though this may simply be due to her earlier interactions with Zoro, whose ignorance she had to put up with). However, upon reading the news of Doflamingo's defeat, she praised Luffy and Law for it.

Around the time of the destruction of the Lulusia Kingdom, Luffy and his crew saved Bonney's life near Egghead. Once Luffy, Bonney, Chopper and Jinbe washed ashore on Egghead, Bonney thanked Luffy for saving her while reminding him that they are still rivals. She is perplexed that Luffy is an Emperor despite his carefree attitude. Also, she could not believe that he has Jinbe on his crew. She was frustrated by Luffy incorrectly calling her "Boogey," though he eventually remembered her real name. Despite considering herself and Luffy rivals, she happily joined Luffy and Chopper's merriment in the Egghead laboratory, such as eating food from Vegapunk's vending machine together. When intending to escape Egghead, Luffy searching for both Bonney and Vegapunk when he can't leave them.

Roronoa Zoro
Bonney first encounters Zoro when he stumbles into town and casually addresses Saint Charlos, prompting the latter to shoot. Being unaware of what was happening, Zoro almost killed him in retaliation. Fortunately, Bonney was able to restrain him and diffuse the situation by faking his death. While exasperated at how clueless Zoro could be for not knowing who Charlos is and the repercussions of killing him would be, she became even more confused when he picked up a man who had previously been shot by Charlos and carried him to a nearby hospital.

Trafalgar D. Water Law
Though she and Law have not encountered one another, she does admire him for his alliance's victory over the Donquixote Pirates.

World Government & Marines
As a pirate, Bonney is a wanted criminal by both the World Government and the Marines. However, Bonney seems to have a mysterious connection to the World Government that isn't entirely elaborated on. She dislikes the government for giving Kuma a reputation as a tyrant king. According to Akainu, she escaped from the World Government and that he would return her to them. She also appeared to be a part of the Levely under the alias "Dowager Conney". Bonney resented the Celestial Dragons for how they abused her father, Kuma. By the time CP0 invaded Egghead, Rob Lucci deemed Bonney to be of no further use to the Government and prepared to eliminate her.

Jaygarcia Saturn
While initially hostile and holding a grudge towards Vegapunk for turning Kuma into a mindless cyborg, Bonney has redirected these feelings at Jaygarcia Saturn after she found Kuma's memories and realized that the Elder was really responsible for the action. Upon seeing Saturn, Bonney immediately went to attack him, doing so with tears in her eyes. Even as she openly resented him for "killing" her father, Saturn said it was justified as Kuma was part of a race that committed a crime against the world.

Marshall D. Teach


Bonney also seems to bear some grudge against Marshall D. Teach, otherwise known as Blackbeard, for his role at triggering the Whitebeard War by defeating and handing over Portgas D. Ace to the World Government for the vacant Warlord of the Sea position. This hatred seemingly became more intensified after he and his crew dealt the final killing blows to Whitebeard, whom Bonney admired. She does not seem to fear him, even going so far as bad-mouthing him at point-blank range.

Vegapunk


Bonney seems to have met Dr. Vegapunk at some point in the past, given how Bonney remembered what Vegapunk's head used to look like before. After witnessing the Summit War of Marineford and the state Kuma was in, Bonney stated her intent to enter the New World to hunt down the man responsible, most certainly referring to Dr. Vegapunk.

Two years later, Bonney came to Egghead to search for Dr. Vegapunk. Due to Vegapunk being the one who modified Kuma into a mindless cyborg, Bonney wanted answers on why Kuma would agree to the process of becoming a mindless cyborg and how to change him back to normal, potentially planning on killing him based on his response. Upon finally meeting him again, she threatened him to change her father back to normal, but the weapon she picked up backfired on her, causing her to faint before she could carry out her threat. After awakening, she continued her pursuit, further inflamed as she accused Vegapunk of being the one who unleashed the insects against her. When she encountered a room that contains the memory paw of her father, she will determine whether to kill Vegapunk after she see all of her father's memory. After going through all the memory paw, she no longer has any desire to kill Vegapunk.

Revolutionary Army
Bonney is familiar with the organization as her father was part of it. She sees them as trustworthy to the point of teaming up to saving her father. Sabo, in turn, is aware of her as being the daughter of Kuma accept her request. She entrusted keeping Kuma safe to the Revolutionary while she goes to Egghead to find Vegapunk to turn her father back to normal.

Straw Hat Pirates
Although Bonney had no encounters with the Straw Hats, she harbored a grudge against them due to the chaos they caused on Sabaody by attacking the World Nobles. She swore that she would crush them if she met them in the New World.

Bonney was saved by them near Egghead. She is later reunited with them and plans to escape the island. She respects Sanji as a strong fighter and a good cook. She and Lilith helped Luffy and Franky take Thousand Sunny off the island. She was later saved by Sanji from the Marines.

Abilities and Powers
As the captain of the Bonney Pirates, Bonney has complete authority over the crew. As a member of the Worst Generation, she is a powerful pirate.

Before the timeskip, she had a reward of 140,000,000, after the timeskip, her bounty rose to 320,000,000.

Infiltration and Stealth
Bonney appears to be a very skilled escape artist, as she has managed to escape from the World Government's possession twice. Likewise, she is skilled at infiltration, stealth, thievery, acting, and mind games thanks to her Devil Fruit. She proved this when she successfully managed to infiltrate Mary Geoise by posing as one of the Levely attendees, a noteworthy feat considering that for most pirates, entering through Mary Geoise without being invited or enslaved is considered practically impossible. Rob Lucci even noted she has escaped many times.

Physical Abilities


Bonney has shown considerable physical abilities despite her slender frame. Similar to Hancock's and Sanji's fighting styles, Bonney's fighting style seems to personally emphasis on powerful and acrobatic kicks. She even managed to injure Marshall D. Teach, who is a monstrously durable man, by kicking him in the head. She was also able to make a distracted Luffy bleed and send him flying with just one kick despite his own substantial durability.

Bonney is also extremely fast. She managed to tackle Zoro before he was able to attack Saint Charlos and sense his killing intent quickly enough to respond before he could attack.

Bonney has an incredible metabolism where she can eat large amounts of food, to the point where she becomes fat and round, but instantly burns all the calories to replenish her stamina. Likewise, she has displayed an immense level of physical endurance, having survived a shock from Egghead's Frontier Dome at maximum strength.

Devil Fruit


Bonney ate a currently unnamed Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to freely manipulate the aging process of anything, including herself, other people, and objects. She can use this power to disguise herself, as well as cripple opponents by rapidly aging her intended targets into their senior years or regressing them into small, weak children. A unique effect of this ability is that the years Bonney steals from people are manifested in the form of sparkling jewelry and shapes.

Any target whose bodily age has been altered by this power still retains all of their memories and cognitive abilities, as shown by the Marines and Bonney herself acting the same as normal, regardless of the age their body is showing them to be (though targets that have been reduced to toddlers have a tendency to cry as such). In addition, any markings the target may have will not be affected by this power, as Jinbe still retained his scar around his left eye after being turned into a child by this ability. Notably, Bonney also has the choice of employing possible alternate futures while aging herself or others forward in time.

Like several other Devil Fruits, Bonney requires her hands to use her power, although she is capable of channeling its effects through weapons or any other object at her disposition. Blackbeard kept her in line simply by chaining her hands to a post, though it is also possible that the chains were lined with Seastone, preventing her from accessing her powers.

The fruit's main weakness is that its aging effects, when applied to living things, are temporary, meaning victims will eventually revert to their rightful age at some point. Another setback of this fruit is that emotional outbursts by the user might result in unspecified altered ages for anybody in the proximity range of the user, including the user itself. This was seen when Bonney got confronted with a Pacifista resembling her father and it caused her to have an emotional breakdown, which then changed the age of everybody around her (except for non-biological beings) to an unspecific age, including herself.

In the anime, she glows pink while using her powers.

Techniques

 * Distortion Future: Bonney ages herself up into a possible future version, gaining a large and muscular physique, not unlike her father's, and becoming physically stronger as a result (enough to destroy metallic walls with ease). Bonney can also apply this technique to others like, for example, how she did to Monkey D. Luffy at Egghead's scrapyard, turning him into a 70-year-old man who was stated to come from a "different future". This move was properly named during Bonney's confrontation with Vegapunk. In the VIZ manga, this is called Distorted Future.
 * Toshi Tsuki (突き): While wielding a staff weapon, Bonney thrusts it into a target, aging them into a younger version of themselves. The target's lost years are manifested in the form of glittering jewels of various shapes. The name of the technique is a pun on toshitsuki (年月) meaning "months and years". In the VIZ manga, this is called Age Skewer.
 * Oil Shock: Bonney applies her aging effects to a metallic object, corroding and then breaking it. She first used this to destroy a door lock leading to a room in Vegapunk's laboratory. The name of the technique is a pun on oiru (老いる) meaning "to age". In the VIZ manga, this is called Oiled Shock.
 * NDE: Bonney pulls out a pistol and fires a projectile against the enemy. Instead of getting injured, the shot target instead starts hallucinating their own death, which may cause psychological trauma to them. Bonney first used this move against a group of Marine soldiers. "NDE" is an acronym for "near-death experience".

Weapons
Bonney is generally versatile with weapons, often picking up any nearby objects that could be potentially used for battle (from actual weapons to random scrap).

At Egghead's scrap heap, she was in possession of a beam saber that was considered a failure by Vegapunk due to its unintended side-effect of attracting bug swarms. Later, Bonney used a pipe as a makeshift club, swinging it as she chased Vegapunk down a corridor. While facing Kizaru, she employed a metal cord from the then destroyed Vegaforce-01 instead, but was unable to hit the Admiral. While fighting Marines on Egghead, Bonney managed to acquire a pistol and later picked up a stray katana to stab Saturn with.

Past
Bonney was raised by her father Bartholomew Kuma, who was once the king of the Sorbet Kingdom. Not much is known at this point about her past, but she seems to have some sort of unclear past history with the World Government, including Kizaru befriending her. At some point during her childhood, she visited the laboratory on Egghead. Years later, Bonney took to the sea to become a pirate, forming the Bonney Pirates, entering the Grand Line and earning herself a bounty of 140,000,000, becoming a very infamous pirate by the time her crew reached the Sabaody Archipelago.

Sabaody Archipelago Arc
After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Bonney and her crew came to the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World. While there, she and her crew decided to eat in a restaurant located in Grove 24 of the mangrove. There, she ordered a big meal and disgusted the other customers with her appetite and bad table manners. She, in particular, disgusted Capone Bege and almost got into a fight with him and his crew if not for the temporary truce that they had to observe between them.



After her meal and leaving the restaurant, she saw Roronoa Zoro about to attack a World Noble (Charlos) who shot at him. As Zoro evaded the shot and prepared to retaliate, Bonney leaped at Zoro and threw him down to the ground. While doing so, she subsequently called Zoro "her brother" and stated that he "died" (slapping some tomato juice onto Zoro's forehead to make it look so) at that moment from the shot fired from the World Noble in order to prevent an incident from happening, which could potentially cause an Admiral to be dispatched by the Marines to the archipelago. After the noble left, Bonney scolded Zoro for the stunt he pulled. As Zoro carried a man whom the noble shot to a hospital, Bonney wondered why a pirate would help people.

Upon hearing of Monkey D. Luffy's attack on a World Noble, she became angry and said that if she ever sees the Straw Hat Pirates again in the New World, she would crush them there. In the midst of her escape, she used her Devil Fruit abilities to turn any attacking Marines into children and old men.

Marineford Arc


Having successfully escaped the Marines' assault, Bonney remained on Sabaody and watched the broadcast of the Summit War of Marineford, which brought her to tears. After the transmission was cut, she and her crew sailed to the outskirts of Marineford and watched the War from afar with other Supernovas. She remarked that some event at the war were all someone's fault, telling her crew to head to the New World to go after this person.

Post-War Arc


Almost immediately after entering the New World, Bonney's crew was defeated, and she was taken hostage by the Blackbeard Pirates and was offered to the Marines to be traded for a battleship as replacement. Blackbeard told Bonney that she is too weak to survive and that she is the first to be eliminated. He did offer her the chance to stay if she became his woman. Refusing to be further shamed, she angrily turned him down and kicked him (due only to having her hands restrained). Van Augur soon alerted Teach that the battleship arrived, but it was not there for a trade because Akainu was on board. Knowing that the trade would not happen, the Blackbeard Pirates fled, leaving Bonney and her crew behind to be arrested.

Akainu reached the shackled pirate and her crew and coldly informed Bonney that he was truly frightened when she escaped from the World Government, but was glad she was back under their control. Akainu then revealed to Bonney that no matter how much she complained, it would not change the fact that her father willingly agreed to be experimented on and become a human weapon and have his mind erased, causing her to yell at him in defiance claiming that could not possibly be the case, and that her father would never leave her behind. Afterwards, she was taken to the Marine Headquarters, where she was lucky enough to make her escape unlike her crewmates.

Dressrosa Arc


While eating a slice of pizza, Bonney read the news concerning Donquixote Doflamingo's supposed resignation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the newly formed pirate alliances.

After Doflamingo's defeat, Bonney turned into an old woman, stole some pizza from a shop, ran away, and turned into a young child to avoid capture. While eating the pizza, she read about Luffy and Law's victory in the newspaper and praised their actions, stating how happy she was to be from the same generation as them.

Levely Arc
Bonney entered Mary Geoise by posing as the Queen Dowager Conney of the Sorbet Kingdom, one of the Levely attendees. She later went to the Celestial Dragon gate at the Pangaea Castle and snuck into the Domain of the Gods when the gate opened for an injured Charlos. While hiding from the Celestial Dragons, she saw how Rosward mistreated the enslaved Kuma and was extremely disgusted from seeing it.

Wano Country Arc
During her infiltration, Bonney managed to sneak inside Pangaea Castle, managing to slip past the guards. Inside the castle, she encountered Sabo, who was retrieving the keys for Kuma's cuffs, being surprised to meet any Revolutionary Army member in Mary Geoise. She immediately approved of their mission, being sure they would safe Kuma and bring him to safety. To Sabo's question of what her next move would be, she replied she would head to Egghead to question Vegapunk about ways to restore Kuma to his old self. She was then saved by Sabo when guards were heading in their direction, overhearing their conversation about the "Lost Chamber". Sabo then guided her outside the castle, showing her the way she would have to take to find her way to Egghead, with Bonney asking him for the Army to take care of Kuma. She later escaped from Mary Geoise by stowing away on the Tajine Kingdom's ship.

One Piece: Stampede


Bonney and her crew attended the Pirates Festival on Delta Island. She participated in the main event, the Treasure Race, safely sailing up the Knock Up Stream and landing on the central Treasure Island, where all the pirates raced for Gol D. Roger's treasure, all the while battling other Worst Generation members. When Buggy ended up exposing himself after snatching the treasure, Bonney and her crew chased after the Warlord. However, the Treasure Race was cut short, when someone threw a galleon at the island, destroying it, and sending everything plummeting back to the surface. When Bonney realized that the one who did this was Douglas Bullet, she was quite surprised. In the end, she gave into Bullet's taunting, and together with the other Worst Generation members (except for Zoro and Law) attacked the Demon Heir. At first the Worst Generation pirates managed to deal a few good blows on the veteran, but when the opponent revealed his Gasha Gasha no Mi powers, the battle quickly ended in their defeat.

Later, after Bullet was defeated, her crew along with the other Worst Generation pirates and several other crews attempted to breakthrough the Marines encirclement surrounding the island. They were able to successfully escape thanks to Sabo and Ann creating a blazing barrier to protect them.

Egghead Arc
Bonney encountered the Straw Hat Pirates after they rescued her from a Warm Eddy. As Luffy and Chopper were falling off the Thousand Sunny, Luffy caught Bonney and the three of them fell into the ocean. Jinbe jumped off the ship and eventually rescued them. Sometime later, Bonney, who had returned to her adult form, Luffy, Jinbe and Chopper dried themselves in a cave on the island of Egghead, as Bonney thanked them for saving her life. She then remarked that she was by herself and hungry, with Luffy agreeing that he was starving as well. When Luffy proposed that they should go look for a restaurant on island, Bonney angrily told them both that Egghead was a government island and she had a score with its head, Dr. Vegapunk, to settle.



While inside of Egghead, Bonney confirmed that she had been in the island back when she was a kid, adding that at the time it was not much more than a fairly standard lab. Luffy then asked her why she came back, and Bonney told him that she was looking for answers from Vegapunk, who she planned to kill for turning her father into a cyborg. As they made their way up into the interior of the island, she, Luffy, Chopper and Jinbe found themselves in a futuristic looking part of the island. Bonney then remembered that she had met with Sabo at Mary Geoise, but she decided not to tell Luffy yet. In the city, the group discovered holograms and a vending machine that created food, using the latter to eat as much as they could. The group would then meet a girl who explained the unusual climate and special machines to them and would later introduce herself as Dr. Vegapunk, leaving Bonney (who already knew Vegapunk as an old man) enraged for a perceived lie.

Atlas later left the group alone after they ate enough, when they eventually stumbled onto a clothes dispenser and got new clothes. However, soon a police Pacifista attacked them for not paying, and when Luffy attempted to retaliate, Bonney interfered, tearfully revealing to the three Straw Hats that Kuma was her father. Though the Straw Hats were shocked at the revelation, this did not stop the Pacifista from attacking her, with Luffy running to save her. She later changed the ages of herself, Luffy, Chopper, and Jinbe to lose the Pacifista and escape to a junkyard. Once there, she listened to the rumors Jinbe had heard about Kuma's past, saying she understood how her father could have agreed to become a Warlord, but not why he would agree to become a mindless machine. Bonney also strongly disagreed that he was a tyrant and argued that he must have been coerced into helping the World Government despite his hatred of them. She then salvaged a seemingly usable "beam saber" from the junkyard and continued to explore it with the Straw Hats, until they eventually stumbled upon an ancient robot and Dr. Vegapunk himself.

Bonney listened to Vegapunk's explanation of Punk Records and his 6 satellites, before accusing him of always shrugging off sacrifices in the name of progress and threatening him with her beam saber. She demanded that he return her father to normal, but he responded by panicking and insisting that the beam saber was defective - which turned out to be true as it attracted a massive hoard of bugs once turned on. The bugs swarmed a panicking Bonney until she fell unconscious while foaming at the mouth.

While Bonney was unconscious, Vegapunk asked Luffy, Chopper, and Jinbe to take her to the Labophase, and told them that they should all leave before Fabriophase becomes a battlefield. As they advanced the Labophase, then they ran into Lucci, with Luffy engaging into a fight with Lucci while Jinbe and Chopper evacuated from the battleground to Labophase, carrying Atlas and Bonney with them respectively. As the vacuum rocket was on the way to Labophase, Bonney woke up, not really noticing that the person sitting next to her was Luffy (due to the side effect from using Gear 5).



Once at Labophase, Bonney separated from the group, demanding that Vegapunk restore her father Bartholomew Kuma back to normal. As Bonney began chasing Vegapunk, the latter mentioned he could not and there was a good reason for it. Bonney then used her ability to lure Vegapunk into her trap and force him to tell her more about why he took her father’s personality from him. Vegapunk refused to tell Bonney the truth because he made Kuma a promise to keep a secret no matter what. Bonney refused to believe Vegapunk's words, especially when he said that Kuma voluntarily gave up his humanity. That's when Bonney saw a huge door with a bear paw print on it, and deduced it was connected to Kuma. She opened the door by aging the lock and found a huge paw-shaped bubble. Vegapunk begged Bonney not to touch the bubble, calling it nothing but pain strong enough to kill someone. Bonney, however, told Vegapunk that she was very familiar with her father’s powers, and that what was in front of her where in fact his memories.

Bonney decided to look into her father's memories where she observed a younger Kuma being abused by people who were trying to have him placed back into confinement, the horror of which forced her out of the bubble. Bonney realized she was pushed out because she lacked the resolve to continue watching, and she willed herself the courage to face the memories again in order to learn the truth of why her father became a cyborg, however, she later cried over whatever she saw in the memories.



A night later, Bonney reunited with Vegapunk, Lucci, and the Straw Hat Pirates, where York was subdued and contacted the Five Elders against her will. After the conversation with the Elders ended, and the group came up with an escape plan, Bonney tagged along with Lilith, Franky, and Luffy. As they headed to the Thousand Sunny and the Vegaforce-01, Bonney and Luffy agreed that they would miss the food on the island, but Luffy then told her that Sanji would make them food, which made Bonney happy. When Luffy asked her why she's in such a good mood, she stated that she no longer wanted Vegapunk dead, and that she feelt better because of that.

Bonney was caught in the crossfire of Luffy and Kizaru's fight when Luffy was sent crashing through the Vegaforce-01, destroying it. She, Franky, and Lilith quickly moved to escape its explosion, hardly managing to do so. Before they could get their bearings, Kizaru appearred and confronted Bonney, telling her not to get in his way. Bonney responded by saying that her targets had shifted, and attempted to attack Kizaru with a piece from the destroyed Vegaforce-01. Kizaru easily dodged out of the way, kicking Bonney at the speed of light and launching her straight into the Frontier Dome, which caused an explosion when she hit it. Bonney survived, and as she fell to the Fabiriophase below, Sentomaru used the last of his strength to catch her before she hit the ground. Bonney then attacked some approaching Marines with her Devil Fruit before going into hiding in some nearby rubble.



While fighting off a few Marines who found her, Bonney was relieved to hear that the Pacifista would no longer be targeting her. Bonney quickly incapacitated a few of the Marines into a state of shock using her Devil Fruit ability, and attempted to flee. Her attempt was stopped, however, when a singular Pacifista was being controlled by Marine Vice Admiral Bluegrass. Bonney, still unwilling to fight the Pacifista due to their resemblance to her father, froze up, but was saved by Sanji at the last moment. Sanji carried the surprised Bonney to the Vegatank, and the two quickly entered to make their escape back to the Labophase. Their attempt to escape was foiled by Kizaru, and the Vegatank fell back down, directly in front of Jaygarcia Saturn, who had just arrived. Bonney was enraged at the sight of Saturn, quickly jumping into action and grabbing a sword. As she remembered that he was part of the reason why her father no longer had his memories, Bonney stabbed Saturn in the chest, for which he glared at her.



Bonney's attack proved to be completely ineffective, as Saturn simply shrugged it off and proceeded to blast Bonney back using one of his abilities. He then caught Bonney in his hand, and incapacitated an enraged Sanji using the same ability from before. Moments later, he declared that Bonney and Luffy's presence on Egghead was unexpected, but of no consequence, and that he would like to see them try to escape. Saturn continued by crushing Bonney in his hand while blaming human nature for desiring to do what was forbidden. Bonney angrily responded by saying that Saturn was the reason her father no longer had his memories, to which Saturn stated that Kuma's status as a slave was only natural, considering he was part of the Buccaneer race. Saturn held Bonney up into the air and ordered the surrounding Marines to aim for the head while Bonney solemnly remembered what her father had told her in the past about Nika.
