Originally a fishing vessel used by the fishmongers of the Sorbet Kingdom, it was heavily modelled to reflect the captain's appetite, as it is decorated with a pizza theme. The bridge looks like a giant pile of food, with some decorative elements made to look like melted cheese. The ship is also decorated with large strawberries, leaves, and a large pirouline. The ship also has polka dots on the sides of the hull. Originally, the ship exhibited a jolly roger based on a fish's spine, likely due to being previously owned by fishermen.
Later, the front mast was updated to display a pink sail on the bottom brandishing the crew's current jolly roger and a white sail above it with "BONNEY" written in large red letters, plus a proper jolly roger flag above the crow's nest. The back mast also has a plain white sail, another crow's nest, and another flag. A figurehead based on its captain's jolly roger was also added.
Jewelry Margherita 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.[2]
When Bonney and her crew were captured by the Blackbeard Pirates, the Jewelry Margherita was moored on the coast of the flaming island where Teach and his men were hiding out.[3] It is unknown what became of the ship after the crew was captured.
Trivia[]
This ship's name and design are based on Margherita pizza, a type of pizza made with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil.
This is an allusion to Bonney having a big appetite, as well as how Bonney is often seen eating pizza in many of her introductions.
