I love how Saturn said Bonney was fed a useless fruit as an experiment. Yet here she's now, using that fruit to become his worst freaking nightmare.

[u/FlightoftheConcorder → u/khaledhn]

I've said it before, but feeding people you have tortured like Bonney and the Gorgon Sisters Devil Fruits is like beating someone up really badly, then deciding to give them a gun immediately after. Unless you were sure it was like the Jacket Jacket Fruit or the Dachshund or Axolotl Fruits, why would you do it?

[u/Driller_Happy → u/FlightoftheConcorder]

I'm going go out on a limb and say it's because the celestial dragons thought it would be better if they had ubique slaves to brag about. It's why they loved renting out Kuma.

Well MY slave can turn into a cool snake!

Shortsighted but makes sense to me

[u/BizWax → u/Driller_Happy]

Yeah, that does make sense. Also don't forget that many gladiators in Ancient Rome were slaves, armed and trained by or at the behest of those who held them in bondage. It did cause problems sometimes.

[u/Driller_Happy → u/BizWax]

I had no idea Spartacus was defeated by Crassus.

This makes Crassus' death even better, lmao

[u/Worthyness → u/Driller_Happy]

They're likely also fed to people who have already had their self-esteem and self-respect severely damaged. So they don't believe they're capable of being more or escaping. The Celestial dragons know that they're not going to escape because they don't actually have the will to do so.

[u/Driller_Happy → u/Worthyness]

Its like handing a gun to someone you've abused their whole life. They're not going to shoot you, they're already halfway convinced they can't live without you, or don't deserve to. Its fucking sad.

[u/RareResearch2076 → u/Driller_Happy]

Kinda like Theon Greyjoy when Ramsey made him into Reek.

[u/RevanchistVakarian → u/Driller_Happy]

That, and they probably felt safe doing it because everyone knows that attacking a Celestial Dragon gets an Admiral called on you. Fruit users though they were, every one we've seen still would have lost to an Admiral.

[u/Driller_Happy → u/RevanchistVakarian]

Good way to go out though. Yeah, akainus will ice you, but at least you popped off charloss' fat head.

Gotta make sure you don't have any family first though, because they'll kill them too

[u/Lord_Flacko4 → u/Driller_Happy]

Makes sense man. G5 was special and this feels very very cheap. Metaphors and symbols aside, you didn't have to give Bonney Luffys powers man, that's ass imo. I'm still gonna see how it plays out. I wanna trust Oda. But don't just dismiss why people don't like this. There's genuine concern.

[u/Afabledhero1 → u/Lord_Flacko4]

Boney already displayed the ability to do Luffy stuff since the flashback.

[u/Lord_Flacko4 → u/Afabledhero1]

Sure but to straight up replicate Nika feels very cheap to me

[u/Correct-Procedure293 → u/Lord_Flacko4]

She can "replicate" anything!

Why is that hard to understand?

[u/Lord_Flacko4 → u/Correct-Procedure293]

It's not that it's hard to understand. Like i mentioned previously i understand her abilities and the meaning but This? Is too much imo. Nika doesn't feel as special. It just lessens the impact of Gear 5 imo and I don't personally like the direction this is heading so far. Can't fathom anything that isn't exactly your opinion?

[u/Correct-Procedure293 → u/Lord_Flacko4]

Why is this more than "anything"?

Don't you understand the meaning of "anything"? and don't you understand that "anything" is way more than Nika? Like, infinitely more than!

[u/Lord_Flacko4 → u/Correct-Procedure293]

My man I understand it, I still dont like it. What don't you understand about an opinion that isn't like your own? Done with you. People acting like having two luffys is a good thing which is wild to me. Lessens the impact. But like I've said im open to what Oda might do.

[u/Correct-Procedure293 → u/Lord_Flacko4]

I understand your opinion!

And I understand that for you "anything" is OK, but "Nika" isn't.

For you to have this believe, it means that you don't understand what "anything" really means.

I'm just letting you know!

[u/Lord_Flacko4 → u/Correct-Procedure293]

Bruh gave you my reason. You just don't want to accept it. Just because she can do anything doesn't make it good writing. It cheapens the impact of G5. Oda went from Bonneys fruit being able to manipulate age to manipulate your future to a point where you can replicate devil fruits? To me that's ass. Less is more.
