Bonney Pirates

The Bonney Pirates are an infamous and notable rookie pirate crew from South Blue that made their debut on the Sabaody Archipelago the same time the Straw Hat Pirates arrived there two years ago. As such, they are part of the Worst Generation. Following being defeated by the Blackbeard Pirates and captured by Akainu in the New World, Bonney was taken to Marine Headquarters, during which she was able to escape unlike her crew.

Jolly Roger
The crew's flag is a grinning skull with long hairs running down, a fringe, and lipstick (reminiscent of Bonney's own). In the background there is a round shaped pattern that could very well represent a pizza (knowing that this is Bonney's favorite dish) and behind it there are the usual crossbones. Another feature of the flag is that on the right top side of it there is a breaking-like pattern that might represent a bite mark, this might also be a reference to Bonney's gluttony.

Crewmates
Most crew members are seen wearing undersized clothing like their captain, most notably small singlets and sweatshirts. A possible reason for their clothes being so small could be that the clothes will still fit if they were transformed into children. One of the crew members has his hair scrunched up; however, this is represented as a chef's hat in the anime.

Crew Strength
It can be presumed that they are strong because of their captain's high bounty and the fact that they made it all the way to Sabaody Archipelago. It has also been noted by Shakky that being one of the Eleven Supernovas, Bonney can be a powerful foe. Not only did they escape Kizaru's attack, but they were one of the two crews that was not harmed at all; however, this impressive act is somewhat downplayed by the fact that neither crew encountered Kizaru or the Pacifista at all.

The crew, however, was no match for the Blackbeard Pirates, who defeated them all without any problems and put them in chains.

Ship


The Bonney Pirates' ship is called the Jewelry Margherita (ジュエリー・マルゲリータ号). Their ship seems to reflect the captain's appetite, as it is decorated with a dessert theme and as the bridge looks like a giant cake with white frosting. It has been coated with the Yarukiman resin, allowing it to submerge underwater by reducing its buoyancy, and withstanding the water pressure of 10,000 meters. It is unknown what became of the ship after the crew was captured.

History
Making their start in the South Blue, they traveled from there to the Grand Line. The crew was able to navigate most of the perilous sea.

Sabaody Archipelago Arc
On Sabaody Archipelago, Bonney came in contact with Roronoa Zoro and stopped him from attacking a World Noble. This gave the crew an idea of just how wild the Straw Hat Pirates were. The Bonney Pirates later witnessed Admiral Kizaru come to the island after Monkey D. Luffy attacked Saint Charlos.

Marineford Arc
During the Summit War of Marineford, the Bonney Pirates stayed on Sabaody to watch the war unfold on the big screen. Witnessing those events Bonney cried for a then unknown reason. Near the end of the war, the crew got closer to Marineford to witness Shanks end the war, and Bonney showed her grudge against someone before heading to the New World after them.

Post-War Arc
After the war, they were defeated by the Blackbeard Pirates. Bonney was then taken into custody by Admiral Akainu and brought to the Marine Headquarters. However, Bonney somehow managed to escape, but she left her crew behind.

Dressrosa Arc
After the timeskip, Bonney was seen on a winter island in the New World.

Levely Arc
Bonney infiltrated Mary Geoise by posing as one of the Levely participants.

One Piece: Stampede
The Bonney Pirates were present during the Pirates Festival. Along with other competing pirate crews, they rode a Knock Up Stream in order to try and get the Pirate King's treasure, that being an eternal pose to Laugh Tale. They later successfully escaped from the marines thanks to the revolutionaries.
