This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them.

And maybe more since Bonney will now be able to transform people into a Nika form.

u/SpudBoy9001 Jun 20 '24

Everyone wearing Kurama's cloak again

u/igorcl Jun 20 '24

Not that shit again, please

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

At least her powers don't last long.

16

u/Jail_Chris_Brown Pirate King Buggy Jun 20 '24

Bonney: "I have awakened my df. The effect now lasts until I pass out!"

u/schiffb558 Jun 20 '24

Oh jeez I remember that bit

u/CelioHogane Jun 21 '24

Oh man that was so useless lol

u/Etiennera Pirate King Buggy Jun 20 '24

So far she only ages other people up and down basically as they are, no? I think the more creative changes are limited to herself and we are safe from everyone having Kyuubi powers in the final war.

Correct me if I'm missing some example, but I think her distorted future isn't as capable on others. In fact I'm not sure it's actually distored future on others.

20

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

She can create bad versions for other people, like we saw for old Luffy early on the arc.

8

u/Etiennera Pirate King Buggy Jun 20 '24

I feel like that's not the old Luffy we'd get, it's just Luffy today aged up without consideration for maintenance training or growth.

11

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 20 '24

That was just old Luffy

We've only seen her make people young or old

5

u/FireStrike77 Jun 20 '24

Bonney's Fruit allows her to choose different timelines to change her objective. For example, she can change into a version of herself that was of the same race than Kuma or give herself similar abilities to the Gum-Gum Fruit, like when she used a Gear Third-like attack because she choose to change into a versión of herself that could do that.

And now, she choose the Timeline where, quoting Luffy, "She was the most free", which was equal to a timeline where she ate and fully awakened the Gum-Gum Fruit.

8

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 20 '24

All on herself due to her imagination, other people it's old or young

2

u/Awkward_Ad_9921 Jun 20 '24

seems like if she awakens she could affect other people the same

0

u/BeginningPumpkin5694 Jun 20 '24

what if she imagine world peace or smt ?

4

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 20 '24

They are futures for her self

And she has to be able to vividly imagine it

World peace is too broad of an idea imo

2

u/Guy_gamer112 Jun 20 '24

Then nothing would change, she'd just be a person from a world with world peace. Which is useless because her timeline doesn't have it.

2

u/BeginningPumpkin5694 Jun 20 '24

but her power is not making people young and old , it changing someone to their potential future

5

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 20 '24

We've only seen the potential future stuff on her when she does "distorted future"

From what we've seen we just see her change people to young or old

And distorted future only works so well because she is a kid .

Would a distorted future, if even possible, work as well on an adult

2

u/JoshHuff1332 Jun 20 '24

1064 deliberately calls luffy as an old man a "different future"

1

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

That was the old Luffy from a certain future.

In an SBS Oda draw Older Luffy from two different future, the actual timeline, and one where things happens.

Old Luffy is from the one where things happens.

-5

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 20 '24

Sbs isn't canon, it's just him having fun

That was just an old Luffy, it was no different than any other character she made old

6

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

You have canon information inside the SBS like the parts about Zoro's family.

And it could just be Bonney making sure the people she transforms are weak, instead of being beasts like Rayleigh, Garp, Whitebeard....

4

u/JoshHuff1332 Jun 20 '24

The official translation also specifically calls it a different future or whatever instead of just a "glimpse at a possible future". That implies to me she deliberately chose that form.

2

u/JoshHuff1332 Jun 20 '24

Sbs are canon (within reason) lol

0

u/East-sea-shellos Jun 20 '24

Lol. Imagine she can’t create bad versions for other people and that’s Oda telling us in plain sight we’re getting the bad timeline.

Like that’s definitely not it but imagine the people pointing back to egghead after the story is done if that happens

4

u/JoshHuff1332 Jun 20 '24

Aging them down maintains what they look like and such, but aging up still gives her the ability to give them a future she designs.

2

u/Etiennera Pirate King Buggy Jun 20 '24

The question is when have we had a a definitive example that she's not just adding years? In my memory, there isn't one.

1

u/JoshHuff1332 Jun 20 '24

In 1064, when we see that Luffy was aged to 70, it specifically says "in a different future" in the official translation.

0

u/Etiennera Pirate King Buggy Jun 20 '24

I don't find it as convincing as "bad future" might've been. I can equally take it as "Luffy aged up, but not how his real future will be".

0

u/Correct-Procedure293 Jun 21 '24

Not only that, but Oda talked about Luffy and other characters potentials futures.

And her power was explained by Jay Garcia, talking about that.

At least, when she is going foward in time, she has to add her "imagination" to it, and for that she can add anything that she "believes" possible.

2

u/zippazappadoo Jun 20 '24

With awakening she'd be able to use distorted future on others

179

u/khaledhn Scholars of Ohara Jun 20 '24

I don't care about tbh, Oda won't ruin the story, but i love the fact that her fruit that was described as "useless" by Saturn, has turned her into his biggest nightmare, AKA Nika.

91

u/KlingoftheCastle Pirate Jun 20 '24

A lot of people early on said that Luffy’s fruit was weak too. A fun parallel

13

u/Loeffellux Jun 20 '24

which is kinda funny because Luffy's fruit was always kinda broken for the blunt damage negation alone

7

u/JoshHuff1332 Jun 20 '24

Blunt damage negation was only really relevant for earlier on before haki really came about, and was still less useful than what many other devil fruits offered.

3

u/Loeffellux Jun 20 '24

Blunt damage negation was only really relevant for earlier on before haki really came about

Yes, we're talking about early on. So obviously before haki.

And yes, it was still less useful than most logias who are simply OP with no haki but still, being immune to blunt damage (including getting shot) was plenty useful from the very beginnin

1

u/Guy_gamer112 Jun 20 '24

I mean... just stab him

19

u/Arkham8 Jun 20 '24

I feel like he said that to demoralize her and limit her imagination tbh

5

u/Con-D-Oriano1 Jun 20 '24 edited Jun 20 '24

Mihawk did say that Luffy’s greatest ability was turning anyone into an ally. If Luffy turns Bonney into an ally, and she turns people into copies of Nika, well… Mihawk will be proved right in a way that no one expected.

3

u/SuperStarPlatinum Pirate Jun 20 '24

I think the Elders are secretly morons.

Whatever they did in the Void Century to make everyone forget how the world used to be, they probably got hit with it too.

3

u/YaIe Jun 20 '24

The dude that is a literal demon considering the power of imagination worthless is kinda funny tbh.

He can't even imagine that imagination could be powerful because he is just angry as shit all the time, that child like joy Bonny has died inside him a long time ago

2

u/jaytix1 Jun 20 '24

If people say a fruit is useless, you can bet good money on the person who has it becoming a menace to society.

2

u/penea2 Jun 20 '24

I mean thematically it makes a lot of sense. The Elders seem incapable of imagining a better future and only want to maintain their weird fucked up status quo, and it's up to the new generations to take up the torch of bringing in a better tomorrow.

3

u/trav-senpai Jun 20 '24

Feels like she just got herself written out of this story after this arc lol

1

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

Very likely. She will want to spend time with her dad.

And should only show up for the final war when it's time to take control of the Pacifistas, and maybe defeat Saturn or her sperm donor.

2

u/IMPolevik Jun 20 '24

Hadn't thought about that consequence in particular... Damn, that rings true after all. Trully the most broken fruit in One Piece.

3

u/benoxxxx Jun 20 '24

Full Nika form SH crew for the final battle could be epic.

12

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

I would probably hate it, but since her power don't last long, it could be fun for a bit.

1

u/mehmeh5 Jun 20 '24

Tbh i don't think it works too well with the others' characters. I can see it as a one-off gag tho 

1

u/leolegendario Jun 20 '24

Zoro: Dawn Asura!
Sanji: Dawn Boeuf!
Nami: Dawn Tempo!
Usopp: Dawn Hammer!
Franky: Dawn Right!
Robin: Dawn Clutch
Brook: Dawn Slash!
Jinbe: Dawn Drill!

u/Philip22Kings Jun 20 '24

Like Naruto with him sharing his powers? Ewww, no thanks.

1

u/patrick20cool Jun 20 '24

Zoro laughing his ass off bouncing around fighting Mihawk. Usopp bouncing around dodging Van Auger's bullets. All of Brooks rubber bones jokes. Franky being EVEN MORE SUPER

I'm sold on the idea

1

u/hiero_ Jun 20 '24

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it's been established that Bonney's distorted future can work on other people? I'm pretty certain she can only do that for herself by imagining herself aging into possible futures.

4

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

She turned Luffy into an old version of himself from a certain future early in Egghead.

The same old Version that Oda used for a future where Luffy failed/gave up in an SBS.

Of course it could just be as a joke, but she has shown the ability at least.

2

u/ThisHatRightHere Jun 20 '24

"Old version of himself" isn't necessarily true, she just blankly changes someone's age. There's nothing explicitly saying she can specifically "change" a future besides her own.

0

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

Here

"In a different Future"

So she changed Luffy's future.

2

u/ThisHatRightHere Jun 20 '24

Saying she “changed Luffy’s future” is a complete misinterpretation but sure, think whatever you want man.

1

u/leolegendario Jun 20 '24

The true Smile Army.

1

u/Tatinix Jun 20 '24

Only if it is possible in their distorted future. Unless I'm misunderstanding her DF power.

2

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

distorted future can be anything.

1

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 20 '24

Has she ever used distorted future on someone else?

2

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

On Luffy, she used it to show a Luffy from a certain future.

The same future where Luffy is implies to give up in an SBS.

Could just be for a joke, but she did use it.

1

u/FrostyTip2058 Jun 20 '24

Just an old Luffy

Sbs aren't cannon,

1

u/leolegendario Jun 20 '24

SBSs are canon and it wasn't just an old Luffy, it was specifically said "a Luffy from a certain timeline".

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

It's not like people using Bonney's ability will ever have the same level of control as Luffy.

Luffy is the one that can really do whatever he wants, and that doesn't change.

Other will lack the Haki, will lack the experience of using the powers.

2

u/firenicetoonice Jun 20 '24

Man i just hope bonney does not become a regular character for the rest of the series especially with gear 5, cause nothing is stopping her from being nika the whole time now

0

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

She can't transform for long, and it will probably be very taxing on her as well.

But otherwise yeah, she probably won't be a major character until the final war, where she will either defeat Saturn, or her sperm donor.

1

u/christianort476 God Usopp Jun 20 '24

You know her donor… is Saturn right…

3

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

Her donor isn't Saturn.

Saturn states that Ginny was the wife of another celestial dragon.

He just experimented on her.

1

u/christianort476 God Usopp Jun 20 '24

Oh gotcha! Fact checked myself real quick and I’m wrong! Thanks for the correction

1

u/Kirosh2 Lookout Jun 20 '24

No problems.

To be fair it was a popular theory considering how linked Saturn is with that family.
