Jewelry Bonney

card

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 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 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.

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.

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 had shown to have a fear of bugs as she fainted from sight of them.

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. 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.

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 didn't 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 couldn't 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.

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.

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
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, 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.

World Government
Bonney has a mysterious connection to the World Government that isn't entirely elaborated on. 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 Conny". Bonny resented the Celestial Dragons for how they abused her father, Kuma.

Abilities and Powers
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.



Bonney has shown considerable physical abilities despite her slender frame. She was shown to be quite fast as 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. Similar to Boa Hancock and Sanji, Bonney's fighting style seems to personally emphasis on powerful and versatile kicks as seen when she and her crew were overpowered and captured by the Blackbeard Pirates, she did manage 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 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 practically considered an impossible and unthinkable feat. Rob Lucci have even noted her has given the slip and many times.

Devil Fruit


Bonney ate a currently unnamed Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to manipulate the aging process, allowing her to freely make herself and others older or younger. 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.As a result of this ability, accurately determining her true age is difficult.

Any target whose bodily age has been altered by this power still retains all of their memories 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.

In One Piece: Stampede, this ability can also work on animals, and those affected have an instinctive knowledge of what to do in their new age. It was used in the fight with Douglas Bullet, when she distracted him by transforming several eggs into a flock of birds that immediately knew how to fly.

It is rare (among Devil Fruit abilities) in that it does not affect the clothing of those she uses it on, though it is natural as clothes do not change in size even as they age. Bonney apparently wears skimpy clothing and suspenders so that her clothes will fit when she becomes a child, while a group of Marines affected by it became too small for their own clothing once aged down to children.

She may need her hands or direct physical contact to use her power, as 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. This limitation is seen again when she needed to touch Douglas Bullet with her hand to affect him, but he managed to grab her leg to throw her away before her powers could take effect.

One 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, one of these transformations is seen showing that her powers work through a process, rather than in a flash. She also briefly speaks a line in her adult voice while in child form after saving Zoro from Saint Charlos. She also glows pink while using her powers.

Weapons
Bonney is currently in possession of a beam saber that attracts bugs, which she picked up from a scrap heap on Egghead.

Past
Bonney was born as the daughter of 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 past history with the World Government, though this is unknown and somewhat unclear at the moment. At some point during her childhood, she visited the laboratory on Egghead.

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 Hats 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. Bonney cried shouting that she will never forgive them. 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. During her infiltration, she also, apparently, briefly encountered Sabo.

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, Luffy, Jinbe and Chopper were seen in a cave on the island Egghead while drying their clothes. Bonney thanked them for saving her and she told Luffy who she was and that they were enemies. She asked Luffy why he had white hair on his new wanted poster when he didn't have it now with Luffy telling her that that's what he looks like when he's free. Bonney didn't understand what he meant and pressed on by asking him what happened to his crew. Luffy told her that they would be fine. Bonney also said that she couldn't believe that Luffy has Jinbe on his crew. Jinbe asked her what happened to her ship and crew with Bonney replying that she came here alone and that the Mecha-Shark ate her ship. She would then remark that she was hungry, with Luffy agreeing that he's starving as well. Luffy was proposing that they should go look for a restaurant on island and Chopper asked him if he had money, but Bonney angrily told both them that they are on Egghead Island, a place 500 years in the future where Dr. Vegapunk's laboratory was located, with Luffy stating that he knew Vegapunk's name and Bonney saying that she had a score with Vegapunk to settle. While inside of Egghead, she told Luffy, Chopper and Jinbe that her father was turned into a mindless weapon by Vegapunk, which was the reason she came to Egghead as she planned to kill him for this. 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. When they saw a big pile of dessert, all but Jinbe tried to eat it, but became enraged when they found out it was just a hologram. They also discovered a vending machine that created food when they continued to press buttons for their favorite food. The group would then meet the girl who explained the unusual climate and special machines to them and would later introduce herself as Dr. Vegapunk, leaving especially Bonney enraged as she did not believe her to be the real Vegapunk.

Atlas later left them alone, when they eventually stumbled onto a clothes dispenser, with the group deciding to change costumes. However, soon a police Pacifista attacked them, 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 aged herself, Luffy, Chopper and Jinbe to avoid the Pacifista. She listened to Jinbe's story about Kuma's past. She understood how her father became a Warlord, but she refused to realize he is a tyrant due to his hatred towards the World Government.
