Dragon’s reasoning for staying away from Luffy is probably why Garp spend so much time away from Luffy and Ace while they were growing up, as he was probably trying to keep them safe as well. After all Garp was willing to let Sengoku take him down so he wouldn’t interfere with Ace’s execution

[@Colaschnittchen]

He expected whitebeard to safe ace

[@ivanmaterazzo2631]

Probably something happened during Dragon and Garp's parental relationship, which had lead both to have this same realization. Sucks that in the Live Action Garp, for how much he wants to sell it to us as a way to test Luffy's motivation, he is super apprehensive. Knowing the LA is semi canonical due to Oda's supervision, I don't believe the two Garps would diverge so much. It's more logical Oda would rather slightly recton his Garp to make it be a nicer gramps. We already saw something in this direction with the whole Koby thing.

[@samfisher6606]

Dragon’s comment about children being a parent’s weakness makes complete sense. It’s always been clear that Dragon cares about Luffy. Why do you think his first spoken line is “A pirate, eh? Not a bad idea”? Dragon is sacrificing everything he cares about for the safety of the world. That’s what makes him so interesting and why I want his backstory. It was great to see Stussy and Stella talking and to see more of who Stussy really is. Also, Alpha can go to hell! That scene with Kuma, Stella, and Stussy talking about writing Bonney nearly made me cry. And I’m not a crier. I like Bonney saying "Give me a ______ future". I would love it if from here on Distorted Future had sub-names like "Distorted Future: Buccaneer" or "Distorted Future: Nika”. Prediction: Bonney is going to tell Luffy the true name of his devil fruit because she knows about the rubbery body. I don’t know if this is a Hot Take or not because I love this backstory and Kuma is now my second favorite One Piece character but I’m ready to get back to the main story.

Also I say Bonney has a Carrot's chance of joining the crew; both have an inherited will, both have combat prowess enough to hold their own, both have/will be saved by the Straw Hats, and both have an applicable spot on the crew that isn't really necessary but would be a nice spot for them.

[@andrewmcreynolds4341]

So honestly regarding Bonney joining the crew I had the same thought when I finished this chapter. Throughout this whole flashback it didn't even occur to me for her to be a potential crew member, but after seeing this one and getting so much focus I think it is possible. If not a full crew member than at least part of the grand fleet/allies. The only thing she is missing to be a full crew member at this point is probably a real dream to strive for. Like right now in the flashback her dream is just to see her father again. And as a lot of us suspect, that is going to happen soon in Egghead. Unless Oda really pulls a fast one on us and shows Kuma in a totally different location. So what would be her dream after finding Kuma? I think it would be really interesting though, to have her find a dream to strive for during this arc. Like maybe Kuma gets his memories back when he comes to Egghead but Saturn ends up finally killing Kuma for real and so her dream becomes to take down the World Government that did all these horrible things to her and her father? I dunno, interesting thought though.

[@Higsby100]

Luffy wasn't noticed by the marines until Aarlong park. If Bonney made her escape before that, then it could explain why the WG didn't care about Luffy as much. Bonney is Kumas daughter and they know about inherited will since they've been fighting it for centuries. They might have figured that Kuma told Bonney about it and found her the Nika Fruit. If Alpha came back freaking out about Bonney stretching they might have assumed that Bonney got the fruit. They didn't really go after Luffy until he defeated 2 warlords and declared war on them.

[@karite2]

I was never a big fan on the Carrot or Yamato joins the crew theories cause it never made sense to me. We love the characters but do they fill that role? I never thought so. Bonney might actually find that niche. I like that you mentioned the Apprentice role, we see a lot of crews that take on children to guide them and those characters tend to become big names in the future. Having Bonney's true age be 12 could be an interesting crew dynamic and her fruit is wide open with possibilities just like our other 4 fruit users. I also try to look ahead to end of arc, assuming Bonney is alive and well and Kuma's role is wrapped up would she want to stop adventuring and end her journey or keep it going as a 12 year old with only 3 years out of her solitude? I could also see the grand fleet option, as even if we don't take her on the crew she will always be an ally out in the world somewhere.

She will definitely want to keep going. But what she does will rely on whether her crew is still alive or not.

Bonnie as an apprentice... I mean, it is amongst the best options for the position out there, considering she wouldn't hold the crew back from her broken DF abilities, that's what I always thought to be the problem with an apprentice, they wouldn't be useful to the plot, specially in this final saga with not much room to get stronger.

To everyone angry at how Alpha callously ripped out the letters of Kuma sent to Bonney: Bonney already saw what her father had written after touching the memory bubble stored within Vegapunk's secret chamber.

[@Vhargon]

Literally in this video.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

I actually don't believe that. To relive every moment of his life - to see every letter written - would take as much time as there was in his life from the moment he first breathed til the end. More likely it was a highlight reel of his highs and lows - enough for her to know he loved her, but not in such detail as to see every letter he wrote her.

[@obara7366]

​@@7thlittleleopard7It's magic. Just like how Kuma can take a whole battles worth of pain in a second, Bolney can absorb all the memories. She didn't watch them all like a movie. She absorbed and was overwhelmed with them.

[@Illjwamh]

@@obara7366Yes, exactly what I was going to say

[@7thlittleleopard7]

@@obara7366 Cool, but he still wouldn't have added content into those memories that was meant only for Bonney if she was never supposed to see them, because who knows who could stumble on them. The letters wouldn't have been part of those memories because those words were only for Bonney and if she was never going to see the memories, he would not have included them. Basically: Are these letters for anyone else? No. Could someone not-Bonney see these memories? Yes. Will Bonney see these memories? No. Add letters to memories? No. That said, I think he's carrying one last letter to her and when he dies (if he does, but it's seeming likely) she'll find it and be able to finally hear the things he wanted her most to know, and be able to come to terms with his death. And know, with his own words, that he loved her most of all.

[@BraceDecades]

Feels a bit early for Straw Hats to take on apprentices. You can't raise children when your captain is basically still a child himself. Give it a couple more decades and then we'll see. Plus, on the whole I don't feel like we'll be seeing any more new core crewmembers now that Luffy revealed his dream. That felt like a really big milestone like that to me. At most we'll see Bonney take on a guest role similar to Vivi and Law.

[@zeposte]

I'd say Vivi now has the most chances to rejoin the crew since she has nowhere to go and imu and the elders will want to have her too

[@dennisbro6142]

Love your line on „respecting the elderly“ 7:45 so much. From my point of view you nailed it why we have to respect the elderly also outside of mangas:) Back to One Piece: Egghead Arc is on the fast track of becoming my fav arc

[@MousaThe14]

I initially rejected your theory of Bonney being a crew member but the more I think of it the more thematic sense it makes to have her as the weird apprentice. Luffy probably doesn’t want or need another of himself on the crew but it’s probably what the world and we deserve.

[@PlagueOfGripes]

I feel like you consistently misinterpret the Age Age fruit as being able to do anything, but all it's really doing is altering the body to look like anything it could potentially be on its own merits. Buff, fat, skinny, old, big, small, etc. She seems to be able to do that to specific parts of her body which opens it up a bit more, but we haven't seen anything to indicate it lets her become omnipotent and Lego piece herself and the rest of reality into anything. That could change. But for now, it's literally just a distorted future, not an invented one.

[@DoNotLookDown]

I simply think Bonney's attack is a tribute to Nika just like Luffy's Red Hawk is a tribute to Ace. It makes no sense how Luffy can create fire but who cares. It's a cool attack and I feel that way with Bonney. She is channeling her inner Nika and it doesn't make total sense but it's one piece and some people's abilities are never as straight forward as they seem.

[@enricokohler475]

small correction: it didn't make sense for the gomu gomu no mi to being able to create fire - but it does make sense for the hito hito no mi model nika to being able to create fire;)

I don't know the entirety of the lore nearly as well as some other people to make an educated argument, but I know that Bonnie going through all of this, to ultimately go and live her life with Nika himself would be so cathartic. I usually don't really care about this, but Bonnie for Strawhat!

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

She can just become Nika though? Luffy is no longer unique in his Nikaness. On top of that we have people suggesting she'll be able to distort others futures and make an army of Nikas, no Luffy needed.

I hope Bonney joins the crew. Given the events of Egghead, the fact she lost her crew, what's happening with Kuma right now, I just don't see anywhere else she could go? It's not like she can go back to Sorbet after leaving. She's been cooped up her whole life and wants to explore. She's not going to go with the Marines. She most likely won't stay alongside Vegapunk or stay cooped up in Elbaf. We're given the classic tragic backstory that we got for each crew member. Her powers can make Luffy young again after Gear 5. I am like 90% certain that she's joining the crew.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

I've wanted her on the crew since we first met her. I thought she'd be a great crewmate from the get-go - she has so much character and would absolutely jive with them.

[@DemonMankeyMan]

More likely that she is the 'princess' of the arc like Shirahoshi/Rebecca/Law/Momonosuke. We've wanted Carrot and Yamato to become crew and we saw how that turned out

[@DarkTooniverse]

@@DemonMankeyMancarrot and yamato had no real reason to join the crew unlike Bonney. Their reasons were only as deep as “seeking adventure”

[@firedye3602]

@@DemonMankeyMan She is technically the “princess” of the arc. You’re right. But where will she go if she doesn’t join? All the princesses you mentioned have kingdoms to go back to. Bonney can’t/won’t go back to Sorbet (it’ll make her a target of the WG/she wants to explore). The only way out of joining that I see is Vegapunk fixing Kuma to be with Bonney. That would make me happier tbh but I doubt it’ll happen considering how much damage Kuma took so far.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

​@@evilmonkey9196 Writing any of them off as mere damsels in distress is bullshit, too. Vivi wasn't waiting for a 'prince' to save her, she was dealing with her shit. Rebecca was fighting every day to stay alive. Even Shirahoshi helped handle shit once she realised she could and was dealing with a terrible situation as best she could. They weren't just sitting around waiting for someone to save them. Bonney is a pirate captain with a hefty bounty, who made her way to the New World with just her crew. She's handling her shit. And she's just as likely to join the crew as damsel in distress Zoro was when we first met him tied up in the marine yard, ready for execution. One could actually argue that most of the strawhats were more 'princesses' of their own arcs than some of the princesses that 'needed saving'. God knows, Zoro, Chopper, Robin, Nami and Brook were definitely damsels in need of saving. XD

[@lolrolf]

i wish there would be a compilation of glr roasting simon. would be hilarious

[@dfile7598]

My thoughts & opinions of the chapter: 1. After reading the conversation that Dragon had with Kuma, I now wonder if anyone would still intend to belittle Dragon?! I even bet his wife would have said the same thing to her friends if she was in his shoes! 2. When reading the part on how Bonney could imitate a part of Luffy's Nika powers, I now wonder she her Age Age Fruit can allow her to replicate almost any DF powers she wants? If so, then you might say that Teach was a fool for not trying to take it for himself, even though he may not have been aware of its true potential.

[@brevebe]

Think maybe for a bit. Bonney joins and they sail for Elbaf. Where He meets Shanks and tries to give him back the hat. But Shanks says no. And they both agree Bonney should take it. And She stays and lives on Elbaf with the Giants. Or not. Also, it's a stupid thing, but I love how this chapter slowly turned from Kuma being the focus. To the focus shifting to Bonney. It's like while the sun is setting on one. The sun is rising on the other. And that sun is Luffy. Kuma helped Luffy and Luffy helps Bonney. It's all connected.

[@patricknez7258]

2:03-2:16 Amazingly well said 🎯🔥 ..I wish Oda would do a deep dive on the logistics of Morgans's "Bird System." I would find it fascinating. From every stage. Did he train them or are they born adapted to deliver the news? How smart are they? Do they like what they do or are they subordinate to Morgans for being the biggest bird etc?

With Vegapunk foreshadowing Kuma being ordered to kill a child, Oda now has a fantastic opportunity to have Kuma arrive at Egghead and Saturn order Kuma to kill his own daughter. What a fantastic way to immediately make Saturn even more hated than even Saint Charlos.

[@bengonzalez3109]

Every permanent crew member has had some specialty the crew was lacking. For that reason, I don't think Bonny can be more than a temporary member.

What about how we finally got some names and backstory for Bonney's crew? Just a bunch of regular fishermen who became pirates just to watch over Bonney! Bunch of legends!

[@Brandilio]

I feel like Bonney is gonna be the crew's cabin girl at this point. I can totally see her having a little-sister/fan girl relationship with Luffy - not at the level of Barto, but I mean he's literally the god that she reveres. Also, Sanji hasn't simped for Bonney yet, right? Like the closest thing to any untoward behavior was him saying that his "lady radar" knew where she was, but he hasn't hit on her yet. Does he instinctively know? Does he know he knows, or is he just like, "Huh. I feel nothing. Odd."

[@brucekent9085]

Sanji did say at the start of the arc that he was thrown off by her adult appearance because he "sensed" a child.

I hope Bonney get to be a Straw hat crue member, Oda has invest so much on her that its the only way.

[@KevinVideo]

6:38 Fukurou the Silent has all the information to tell you and then some, on why Alpha's team is no different than him and his zippered mouth. As much as this chapter hurt to read, it was done really well, and I'm glad we've got this flashback. More importantly, I'm glad that 12 year old Bonney got to experience those letters through Kuma's memories, and get that lifetime's worth of love.

[@Stachelbeeerchen]

She definitely has some sort of mythical fruit. Her Nika punch was glorious.

[@TheSukari]

Not necessarily. Zoans, mythical or not, have to turn a person into some kind of animal or deity. Idk what deity only controls it's age. I'm more in line to think that her Paramecia is like Law's where it can mimic the traits of other fruits to a degree. Bonney looks like she can tap into a multiverse of different versions of herself where she "could have been" whatever

[@vitoralves3093]

​@@TheSukari She can control the age of others too, and normally paramecias affect only the person OR the environment (others), unless it's awakened. Makes me consider it's actually a logia, but depends on Oda to caracterize time as a nature force or something similar and she would need to suffer from the same as Luffy not knowing what exactly her fruit does and only controlling age because of that. Anyways I think it's more probable to be a paramecia as well.

[@bennetharris972]

this thumbnail is creepy accurate to the recent chapter 😮😮😮

[@_mauriciobello]

i don't think bonney can have other peoples devil fruit abilities, so far we've only been shown that its her body structure that changes, into a bigger/smaller, newer/older person, so i don't think she could become a dragon like kaido, but i believe she only made her arm get bigger (and weird looking) to deliver the punch, doesn't necessarily mean her body has become rubbery

[@kelvinyao5172]

Interesting, this must mean that Kuma can only transport humans (maybe living beings) with his paw. Otherwise he would have sent the letters by paw 🐾

[@RedPixelMage]

Nami was the sister of the crew at the start, Robin became the big sister, maybe Bonnie will be the little sister of the crew

[@lissy3610]

Bonney is the first character I've felt like I would actually be upset if she didn't join the crew at this point. I was disappointed a bit about Yamato and Momo, but I shrugged it off. I feel like they may join the final fight later in some way regardless. I was kinda hoping a bit that Carrot would join but I was like "meh, oh well" when she was sent back to Zou. I want Bonney to be a Straw Hat really badly at this point, but she has her own little crew that's super important to her so that might be the thing to hold her back unfortunatley. it's crazy how just a few chapters can skyrocket a character in my personal tier list lol

[@7thlittleleopard7]

It's highly unlikely that Bonney got to read those letters, sadly. The memories of Kuma's life that she experienced were likely a highlight reel of the most tragic parts of his life. She'd have learned of his sacrifices, but not every moment of his life (because reliving that would take just as long as his life to the point he made that memory bubble). He wouldn't have included the letters because his intent was that she would never see these memories, and he wouldn't share those precious thoughts that were for her alone (and that he assumed she received) with anyone else who may have stumbled on his past. Thus, no, she probably never would be able to read the letters. BUT! I have a theory that he is carrying one final letter to her, that she will receive on Egghead when he comes in to save her one last time, and that it will give her closure and help her heal from his imminent death.

[@stefanulbing2048]
