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 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.

During the Egghead Arc, Bonney is shown wearing a dark colored leotard bodysuit with a hood, and connects to her panties with 2 lines, 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.

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 if 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. 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.

World Government & Marines
As a pirate, Jewelry 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. 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.

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.

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 of anything, allowing her to freely make herself, other people and objects 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 an unique effect of this ability, the years Bonney steals from people are manifested in the form of sparkling jewelry.

Any target whose bodily age has been altered by this power still retains all of their memory's 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 regain their original 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, 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.

Named Techniques

 * Distortion Future: Bonney ages herself up into a possible future version of herself, including a version where she gains a large and muscular physique, not unlike her father's, 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. 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.

Weapons
Bonney was in possession of a beam saber, which she picked up from a scrap heap on Egghead. Vegapunk noted it was a failure, as its light attracts a large swarm of bugs, which caused Bonney to faint in fear.

After awakening, Bonney used a pipe as a makeshift club, swinging it as she chased Vegapunk down a corridor.

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, who has returned to her adult form, Luffy, Jinbe and Chopper were seen in a cave on the island Egghead while drying their clothes. Bonney told Luffy who she is and that they were enemies and then thanked them for saving her. She asked Luffy if he really is an emperor and why he had white hair on his new wanted poster when he did not have it now, to which Luffy responded that that was what he looked like when he was free. Bonney did not 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 could not believe that Luffy had Jinbe on his crew. Jinbe asked her what had happened to her ship and crew. Bonney replyied that she came here alone and that the Mecha-Shark ate her ship. She then remarked that she was hungry, with Luffy agreeing that he was starving as well. When Luffy proposed that they should go look for a restaurant on island, Chopper asked him if he had money, but Bonney angrily told them both that there were no restaurants here and that they are on Egghead, a place 500 years in the future where Dr. Vegapunk's laboratory was located. Luffy stated that he knew Vegapunk's name and Bonney said that she had a score with Vegapunk to settle. While inside of Egghead, Luffy asked her if she had been here before, and Bonney replied that she had been when she was a kid. Bonney added that at the time it was a fairly run-of-the-mill lab. Luffy then asked her why she came back and Bonney told him that she is here for answers, which was the reason she came to Egghead as she planned to kill Vegapunk for turning her father into a cyborg. Luffy said it was cool that her father was turned into a cyborg, to which Bonney replied that it was not cool because he is completely lost his sense of self, does not remember who he is anymore and he is nothing but a living weapon now. Hearing this, Jinbe agreed with Bonney and said that it was terrible and unforgivable. 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 remembers she saw Sabo at Mary Geoise, but she decides not to tell Luffy yet. 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 changed the ages of herself, Luffy, Chopper, and Jinbe to avoid 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'd agree to become a mindless machine. She 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 Strawhats, 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 needs to restore her father Bartholomew Kuma back to normal. As Bonney began chasing Vegapunk, still angry over the bugs from earlier, when she asked if it was possible to restore her father to normal, he mentions he can't 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 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 from her no matter what, and if he tell, then it would hurt her. Bonney refuses to believe Vegapunk's words, especially when he says that Kuma voluntarily gave up his humanity, but no matter how hard she tries, he refuses to say anything more about his "secret". That's when Bonney sees a huge door with a bear paw print on it, and deduces it’s connected to Kuma. She opens the door by aging the lock and finds a huge paw-shaped bubble. Vegapunk begs Bonney not to touch the bubble, calling it nothing but pain strong enough to kill someone. Bonney, however, tells Vegapunk that she is very familiar with her father’s powers, and that what is in front of her is his memories.
