Vegapunk the MVP with that command authority. Bonney being the supreme authority is much more fitting than earlier speculations like Dragon or Kuma.

u/GeneralUnlikely266 Feb 01 '24

For real. In hindsight, its insane too me how I didnt saw a single theory that bonney could have the command over all pacifista. It makes so much sense

336

u/Okey114 Feb 01 '24

Feels like it was well planned out too. Bonney didn't see the PX-1s at Sabaody (How long ago?). Then on EggHead she was so heartbroken she never spoke when the PX-3s were around.

Love it but now I'm curious on where her storyline is going to go from here. Her goal was to kill Vega punk and then Saturn but after this fight, what will her new goal be?

255

u/GeneralUnlikely266 Feb 01 '24

Thats a good question. After seeing luffy as nika, I'm guessing she probably will be an ally for the future. I would like to see her as a strawhat, but I know thats a bit unrealistic at this point. Maybe she becomes part of the strawhat grandfleet? Instead of her old crew, she would have the pacifista, s-bear and kuma with her. That would be a terrfying powerup for the grandfleet

99

u/Nerellos Feb 01 '24

Probably join the revs with the other Vegapunks.

23

u/NK1337 Feb 01 '24

Yea at most I could see her becoming part of the grandfleet, or maybe even the revolutionaries to follow in Kuma's footsteps. I don't know why but I don't see her becoming a full on Straw hat though. Even though each of the straw hats have their own motivations they all ultimately support Luffy in becoming king of the pirates and I don't know if Bonney would be jumping in with them on that.

8

u/Remarkable_Hippo4274 Feb 01 '24

I agree I think she would want to be with the revs as they were the only others that Kuma was close to and considered friends.

11

u/Future_Novelist Feb 01 '24

I don't think joining the Revolutionaries makes sense. That's Kuma's thing. Bonney is a pirate. A pirate without a crew.

She has a sad backstory. She vibes well with the crew. She's going to look up to Luffy and want to do everything in her power to help him. She even has the exact same enemies as they do.

I think there's a high likelihood she's joining.

7

u/Remarkable_Hippo4274 Feb 01 '24

That would be rad as well… but who can predict what ODA sensei has in mind for her!! ☺️

5

u/Remarkable_Hippo4274 Feb 01 '24

It would be cool to see Bonney and her crew of pacifistas!! Finally she would get to travel the seas with her dad!! 🥲

10

u/Gerokm Feb 01 '24

I could see her joining Dragon. Both her parents were revolutionaries, Niko and freedom were a big part of her upbringing, and the WG and especially the CDs have done some horrible things to her and her family and friends. Plus, between Kuma's death and losing their original base, the Revs could use a power up like the Pacifista to help them stay relevant with the current power-creep.

2

u/tokyogodfather2 Feb 05 '24

Exactly. Kuma coming back to the Revs as an army of PX’s controlled by his daughter is the best kind of justice: the poetic kind.

15

u/ExiledSin Feb 01 '24

She joins as the last crew member controlling the Kuma that has the Nikyu Nikyu no mi, fulfilling that theory

6

u/Future_Novelist Feb 01 '24 edited Feb 01 '24

Yeah, between her backstory and his, the fact that she shares the same enemies as the SH's, vibes well with them, and the DF number thing. I think she will join as the last official member.

And if Vivi rejoins, it completes the "Four Straw Hats" in each sea theory.

Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Nami (East Blue)

Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook (Paradise)

Jinbei, Bonney, Kuma (cyborg), Vivi (New World)

6

u/Woven-Winter Feb 01 '24

I can certainly see her obviously remaining an ally.

But on the other hand, she is just a little girl and Kuma has done more than enough. I don't know if Kuma himself ultimately survives past this arc, once Bonney is safe. Wouldn't shock me if Luffy says he doesn't need the Pacifistas to achieve his dreams.

Maybe she stays with Vegapunk (assuming he survives in some capacity, either as Stella, a satellite, uploaded entirely to Vegapunk Records and becomes some kind of living AI, whatever)

I think ultimately Bonney will go back to Sorbet Kingdom. She's technically still the princess there and would want to continue caring for her people just like her dad did.

3

u/Altruistic_Astronaut Feb 01 '24

I think she'll be apart of the grand fleet. We can't have her and dozens of pacifistas on the ship 😂.

2

u/JackasaurusChance Feb 02 '24

Her joining the Strawhats while also having a dozen Pacifistas is a little much. I could see them all getting destroyed here or her taking the Pacifistas as crew, thereby sailing as a Pirate with 'Kuma'. Probably be part of the Grand Fleet, too.

1

u/sanctaphrax Feb 01 '24

Unrealistic why?

The only that could give Oda pause, if he wanted to do it, would be fan outcry. And the fans seem onboard.

1

u/Significant_Panda_2 The Revolutionary Army Feb 02 '24

If thats the case she, im pretty sure she would add sentomaru and vegapunk in her crew. Theyre kinda like a family at this point. If kizaru isnt such a shitty uncle i would say he'd join

1

u/tokyogodfather2 Feb 05 '24

The Pacifistas are definitely joining the Grandfleet. As are the Vegas. Bet.

Edit: ah just saw a comment about the Revs. Revs makes more sense. Otherwise it would be too big of a power up for the SH’s too fast. Enough souped up PX’s can even take on BB.

2

u/GladimoreFFXIV Feb 01 '24

She’ll finally join as the final straw hat and the pacifists join Luffys grand fleet, and she helps fulfill her dad’s wish with Nika.

0

u/Gamba_Gawd Feb 01 '24

Revenge against the Celestial Dragons and the World Government that took her mother away from her.

0

u/sid8498 Feb 01 '24

I am sure now that Bonney knows Luffy is Nika she will swear herself to him as a close ally. Maybe she even joins the grand fleet with her army of Pacifistas.

But, I think her and Vegapunk's main goal will be to restore Kuma if he survives till the end of the arc.

0

u/FlashyProcedure5030 Feb 01 '24

Join Luffy's princess harem

1

u/Neftroshi Feb 01 '24

She gonna free the slaves

905

u/jaytix1 Feb 01 '24

You know, a writer still managing to surprise their fans, infamous for coming up with the craziest theories, is genuinely impressive.

456

u/GeneralUnlikely266 Feb 01 '24

This and bringing back old characters into the story without it feeling forced. Wapol, Sir Crocodile, all the giants and so many more

167

u/jaytix1 Feb 01 '24

Yeah, good point. It helps that he makes those cover stories, so we actually see that character's progress.

8

u/ByteSizeNudist Feb 01 '24

I remember being a younger reader and finding a collection of all the cover story arcs and it was such a fun read.

3

u/Altruistic_Astronaut Feb 01 '24

Are there any YouTubers out there who make summaries of cover stories? I literally forgot every cover story.

7

u/hobohunter13 Feb 01 '24

the one piece wiki has pretty solid summaries of all the cover stories.

4

u/jaytix1 Feb 02 '24

I don't know any that do, but the wiki keeps track of the stories.

9

u/fullmetalasian Feb 01 '24

It's insane that Dorry and Broggy are going to be important again and they are from basically the beginning of the series

15

u/GeneralUnlikely266 Feb 01 '24

Hell buggy of all people become a emperor. When I watched the show as a kid I thought I would never see this clown again, and now he is one of the biggest players in the game

3

u/fullmetalasian Feb 01 '24

Lol true. That's because he's Odas favorite character though. All anime has to have that one character that fails upward lol

-12

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Feb 01 '24

Wait, why doesnt it feel forced that Wapol, Crocodile and the giants are brought back into the story?

All of these characters could have been litterally any other character in the current part of the story.They are not naturally appearing in their parts of the story, Oda put them there simply because he wanted to.

13

u/DrBLEH Feb 01 '24

Because it's also perfectly realistic that it's specifically those characters. It doesn't have to be, but it doesn't feel forced, even if on some level it is just because of the whims of the author.

-8

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Feb 01 '24

Its realistic that Crocodile would team up with Mihawk?

And that they would seek out Buggy?

Guess we have different definitions of whats realistic.

9

u/Proof-Research-6466 Mugiwara no Luffy Feb 01 '24

He only looked for Buggy because he owed him money that is realistic.

7

u/DrBLEH Feb 01 '24

What's not realistic about working with people you respect? Crocodile and Mihawk clearly have respect for each other, and with Mihawk losing his status as Warlord it makes sense he'd partner up with somebody with more resources. Buggy was just for money he owed but that turned into the typical insanity that happens around Buggy. It's not really forced if it's been happening for half the series lol.

0

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Feb 01 '24

What gives you the feeling that Mihawk and Crocodile respect each other? If anything they were probably hostile towards each other like all warlords.

Mihawk would probably be completely fine even if he wasnt allied to the marines. Crocodile could have contacted any of the other warlords to form an alliance.

A pirate with the strength and power of Crocodile could easily get money by other means than asking for money back from a guy who borrowed money a long time ago. Especially if they are backed up with a character like Mihawk.

How much money could Buggy possibly have owed? Go capture a 300 million beri rookie and get the reward from delivering him. Or just raid a country or something.<

None of these more natural things happened, because Oda wanted to give Buggy the Emeperor title, and for that to happen he needed someone strong to prop him up. Just having Crocodile do it wouldnt make sense. And none of the warlords were scheming enough to do it on their own. So Oda needed Crocodile to do it and for a strong Warlord to join him. So he forced it.

2

u/DrBLEH Feb 01 '24

Having hostility with someone does not mean you can't respect them.

Just because the author wrote the plot to lead to a certain result doesn't mean it's forced. If that was the case, the entire story would feel forced.

u/MomonteMeri Lurker Feb 01 '24

Crocodile has had (almost) complete control over the crime world ever since doflamingo and kaido got written off, and for him to be able to make and manage an organization capable enough to overtake a country gains him more than enough respect

0

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Feb 01 '24

Where was it stated that Crocodile had almost complete control of the crime world?

Crocodile allied with Mihawk and started controlling Buggy before Kaido was defeated.

10

u/SexyNeanderthal Feb 01 '24

They all appear in situations where it makes sense. Elbaf is the next island, so it makes sense the giants show up. Crocodile was arrested so he was in Impel Down, and said he would go to the New World so it makes sense he ended up there. And Wapol is a king so it made sense he would be at Reverie.

12

u/Ihave2ananas Feb 01 '24

Same with the approaching ship. I don't think anybody suggested them. Would have loved the Grand Fleet but I'll definitely take it

7

u/sunkenrocks Feb 01 '24

There was one guy who said it was his second most likely theory lol and I think at least like one other guy said it from what I saw in the spoilers thread. But any previously known character reveal is guessed by somebody lol so still.

3

u/Kaisona20 Feb 01 '24

I considered it would be the giants, due to the theories of other redditors, but I never thought it would be Dorry and Broggy. Even knowing it would happen, the story keeps surprising me.

2

u/CluelessAtol Feb 01 '24

My friend had suggested they were a possibility since Elbaf isn’t THAT far but I just straight up didn’t think it would actually be them since we had the BB pirates nearby

6

u/Echleon Feb 01 '24

honestly I hear more coherent theories from the dude rambling on the street corner than I do from this subreddit lol

4

u/someone2795 Captain Crackhead Feb 01 '24

Honestly the fans shoot themselves in the foot because their theories are too crazy and they tend to overlook the simple outcomes.

2

u/ehmayex Feb 01 '24

and being super logical with it 95% of the time.

its one thing to surprise the readers, but to also have it make sense almost always is insane!

1

u/jaytix1 Feb 02 '24

I just know that 5% is all the death fake-outs lol.

2

u/Murasasme Feb 01 '24

I saw a bunch of theories about who was on the ship approaching Egghead and absolutely no one called the giants. Oda keeps getting away with it.

2

u/What_A_Placeholder Feb 01 '24

Surprising fans, but always in a way that makes sense 👌👌

1

u/herrsebbe Feb 01 '24

For some series, I opt out of reading theories because the collective fanbase given enough time is just too good at piecing together all the clues, but somehow One Piece despite it's age just keeps pulling the rug out from under almost everyone.

Revolutionaries? Shanks? Blackbeard? The Grand Fleet? Nope, Dorry and Brogy. And despite talking about Elbaph and the giants all arc, they slip right under the radar aside from a few overlooked guesses.

93

u/GuardianGero Feb 01 '24

It was a theory I had, but I'm generally pretty bad with theories so I didn't share it! I could've cooked :(

82

u/Dddddddfried Feb 01 '24

This sub would be a better place if less people shared their theories. I salute your restraint

9

u/Jail_Chris_Brown Pirate King Buggy Feb 01 '24

Most theories end up on the bottom of this sub without you ever learning about them; partially because some suck, but others are fun reads that just don't gain traction or hit the right keys with people.

24

u/_lxvaaa Feb 01 '24

nah the theories are the fun of the sub

13

u/MrLKK Feb 01 '24

So weird when assholes hate on people posting their fun little theories

0

u/Dddddddfried Feb 01 '24

I’m just not a fan of most theories. I don’t talk shit on them, but unless they’re fun and absurd, I find them pretty lame

2

u/Flippercomb Feb 01 '24

I would prefer even the shittiest tinfoil hat theory over half the things on the homepage.

At least theories can create a discussion.

4

u/larrylustighaha Feb 01 '24

ahh mostly its an interesting read and mixes up the posts of OF "cosplay"-tits girls and powerscaling

3

u/Time_Transition4817 Feb 02 '24

It’s okay, you didn’t cook but it’s still your recipe

7

u/rising_pho3nix Feb 01 '24

That's Oda..!! Hitting us with a curve ball everytime

3

u/Jail_Chris_Brown Pirate King Buggy Feb 01 '24

Earlier this arc I expected York to have put herself above the gorosei in the command hierarchy because Greed wouldn't allow anyone above it.

Bonney's the emotional choise and I'm all for it. MVegaP.

3

u/NoseBeerInspector Feb 01 '24

honestly I was expecting it since I saw S Snake or whatever the mini boa hancock is called following Luffy's orders. Tho I never thought vegapunk would've programmed it.

3

u/reason_pls Feb 01 '24

I was pretty sure that the Pacifiast wouldnt shoot her but I thought it would go back the the whole "nature" theme instead. I think people didnt predict this because Saturn told Vegapunk in a flashback that he would be able to identify any meddling in the programming because he is a scientist as well. It turns out that he was either not smart enough to detect it or too smug to even check.

2

u/writer-sci-enter Feb 01 '24

It was probably coz he never thought of this. I mean who would expect VP to give the full authority of control to a child of all things. Also a pirate.

2

u/Cherrycho Feb 01 '24

There were a bunch of theories about the necklace he gave her having some kind of authority chip, but yeah nothing about her herself

2

u/Lemming3000 Feb 01 '24

I wonder if he grandfathered it into the new pacifista models or kept it just to the ones that bear Kumas likeness.

1

u/larrylustighaha Feb 01 '24

whatever happened to the new models, they kind of disappeared

2

u/Werfgh The Revolutionary Army Feb 01 '24

he can't keep getting away with this!!

2

u/pridejoker Feb 01 '24

I mean it's basically one of the plot developments in laputa

2

u/bobbee68 Feb 01 '24

I was expecting her to command the Seraphim instead, cause without outside help that would've been the only way to deal with Saturn.

But Pacifista + Giants is a good enough combo.

2

u/doshajudgement Feb 01 '24

I predicted the pacifista would override the order to kill bonney and just not shoot

I did not predict that vegapunk would just hard code that shit in

1

u/Naghagok_ang_Lubot The Revolutionary Army Feb 01 '24

nah there were plenty of theories saying this but it wasn't posted in a wall-of-text form. just in a replies. maybe because it's simple and logical and doesn't have to go through mental gymnastics.

this sub do love its outrageous yet plausible mental gymnastics of TCs

1

u/J_The_Bullfrog Feb 01 '24

I think there was some speculation at the time that the necklace she recieved had a command chip embedded in it. Sounds like it's just hardwired into them though, so that was only partially correct.

1

u/Excitium Feb 01 '24

I did post comment back then speculating that the pendant she got from Vegapunk as a birthday present from Kuma was an authority chip that gives her control over the original Kuma and that Vegapunk could have activated it when he got it ready before handing it over to Bonney which might have prompted Kuma's mad dash to the island.

I guess I was only partially right which means the pendant will probably play a different role (Chekhov's gun and all).

0

u/HippGris Explorer Feb 01 '24

I kinda did, although I mostly predicted that they would not be able to attack her (https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/19f8om6/comment/kji1jve/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

0

u/StickiStickman Feb 01 '24

Nah.

It already makes no fucking sense that any of the satellites can overwrite Vegapunk and that he didn't give himself a cheat code to overwrite them himself.

1

u/DrSweatyPants Pirate Feb 01 '24

The only guy I saw come up with was Yuderon (Japanes Youtuber) he predicted this lile 2-3 chapters ago. Can‘t belive it holds true I was in tears.

1

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Void Month Survivor Feb 01 '24

Only saw people theorizing it when Kuma himself seemed to show up a couple chapters ago and fight to protect her even though there isn't much of his will left.

1

u/Worthyness Feb 01 '24

I knew Vegapunk wasn't heartless enough to erase him entirely and I knew Vegapunk wouldn't be so stupid to not have at least some sort of failsafe installed/created. The fact that Bonney gets Kuma's supreme authority is fantastic

1

u/_k00ma_ Feb 02 '24

Oda in a nutshell

1

u/manwithoutlyf Feb 03 '24

To be fair i thought of this before knowing Bonney was not Kuma's bio daughter thinking anyone with his blood can control so Bonney would be supreme commander. But sure reasoning is a complete surprise

113

u/MisterRominade Feb 01 '24

Definitely the MVP. From a narrative standpoint though I’m glad he faced consequences from his choice. Would have been too easy for him to get him out scot-free of such a betrayal towards the world’s most powerful organization

20

u/ejabno Feb 01 '24

Yeah i had the same feeling too that plot-wise it was way too easy and convenient for Bonney to be able to control the Pacifistas like that. Then I saw Vegapunk being stabbed and thought oh finally, there's the consequences I was waiting for.

11

u/aphantombeing Feb 01 '24

Wait for him to be completely fine after this arc ends

10

u/Worthyness Feb 01 '24

Depends if maini vegapunk can die and the satellites remain OK. If main vegapunk dies, but the satellites still exist, then the satellites become vegapunk by default and can still affect the story with their intelligence (which I hope helps the revolutionaries tech up against the WG).

3

u/chrisychris- Feb 01 '24

I would prefer that

3

u/AJWinky Feb 03 '24

I mean, the whole arc is pretty much just Vegapunk facing consequences for his actions/decisions.

3

u/Time_Transition4817 Feb 02 '24

I mean getting stabbed sucks but isn’t his brain still fine / separate from his body?

Unless punk records is destroyed seems like he could sort of be okay.

7

u/CIearMind Feb 01 '24

Yeah I always said that it was supremely stupid to simply hand over ultimate control over the Pacifista and Seraphim to old white dudes that he knows firsthand are the incarnation of greed and evil.

8

u/Brrrr-GME-A-Coat Feb 01 '24

The Tama parallels are a vibe

4

u/sharkhuh Feb 01 '24

By Bonney being the highest authority over them, Kuma will be able to achieve his dream about the Pacifista being used for peace, and ultimately will be on the side of the Revolutionary army when all is said and done.

I think that'll leave Bonney to end up joining the Rev army. 

Also, note VPs weird, that only the clones who look like Kuma have this don't. The Seraphim will likely still be on the WG side 

8

u/SpudBoy9001 Feb 01 '24

Vegapunk doing the bare minimum after years of being an awful person = MVP

Ok then

3

u/pridejoker Feb 01 '24

She'll probably join the revolutionary army since she'll need a techie to maintain kuma and the pacifista's machinery.

3

u/mujie123 Feb 01 '24

I like how Saturn acted as if the punishment would be worse now… as if it wasn’t already as bad as it could get.

3

u/PublicTransition9486 Feb 01 '24

The insane thing is that she also has control over S-bear

2

u/Mnawab Feb 01 '24

I don’t understand why he didn’t make himself above commander to the government? 

9

u/yosayoran Feb 01 '24

Because he did not act for his own gain. He did it because his conscience couldn't allow him to let Bonny die like that. 

2

u/Mnawab Feb 02 '24

That’s not what I asked

3

u/StickiStickman Feb 01 '24

Because plot. Same reason a satellite can overwrite Vegapunk.

It's kind of stupid.

1

u/GriabigerBayer Feb 02 '24

I was waiting during the earlier parts of the Arc for Vegapunk to reveal that he's above the gorosei in command... I guess not

1

u/Jackibearrrrrr Pirate Feb 01 '24

I wanna cry

1

u/Kuro013 Feb 01 '24

She could be an absolute top tier with that power. But Im sure shes going to dispose of all the Pacifistas, the image of the kindest man in the world cant be that of a war machine.

1

u/KaiserCarr Void Month Survivor Feb 01 '24

yeah, my theory was Kuma giving them orders but this makes so much more sense. Bonney is was already OP with her powers, now she has a Pacifista fleet at her command.

1

u/Commercial-Living443 Feb 01 '24

Haven't read it yet the new chapter so unkind bonney can transform intk IMU , not happening

1

u/shleezus Feb 01 '24

Is the command authority for all pacifista? Are seraphim considered pacifista? Or only the ones that look like kuma?

1

u/Panthers8912 Feb 01 '24

Yeah he’s the mvp alright killing kuma. Dude could’ve done so much more to help if he was ok betraying Saturn the whole time

1

u/Tronz413 Feb 02 '24

I wonder of this includes the Kuma sepharium. I assume so.

1

u/far219 The Revolutionary Army Feb 02 '24

I definitely think she's gonna give that up or at least shut down the pacifistas at the end of the arc. No way she wants her father's image used for war any further.

1

u/AccountantOfFraud Feb 04 '24

I wonder if this applies to S-Bear.
