One Piece: Bonney\u2019s Devil Fruit explained Eiichiro Oda\/Toei AnimationJewelry Bonney\u2019s startling power-up in new chapters of One Piece has sparked a lot of confusion about her Devil Fruit abilities. Bonney was first introduced in One Piece during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc. Though she was absent from the story for a long time after that, she returned to play a crucial role in the ongoing Egghead Arc. This arc also reveals Bonney\u2019s true age. She\u2019s only 12 years old and uses her Devil Fruit powers to transform herself into an adult body. It\u2019s thanks to her powerful Devil Fruit that she could become notorious enough to be a Supernova like Luffy, Zoro, Law, and Kid. However, it soon becomes apparent that there\u2019s more to Bonney\u2019s Devil Fruit than previously believed \u2013 especially after her new transformation in One Piece Chapter 1118. Bonney\u2019s Devil Fruit and Toshi Toshi no Mi explained Bonney wields the power of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit named Toshi Toshi no Mi (alternatively called Age-Age Fruit). Toshi Toshi no Mi allows her to alter the age of anything, including people, animals, and inanimate objects, as she wishes. She can apply the same power to herself. But there\u2019s a twist to this Devil Fruit. Unlike most other users, Bonney didn\u2019t get her powers through consuming the fruit. Instead, she was administered with an extract of it as an infant by Saint Jaygarcia Saturn. However, how that affects her compared to other Devil Fruit users hasn\u2019t been clarified yet. Bonney\u2019s Devil Fruit seems straightforward enough at first glance. It has age-manipulating powers, but there\u2019s more: its true ability allows its user to transform into any future form they can visualize. This makes Toshi Toshi no Mi one of the most dangerous Devil Fruits in the series, if used cleverly. So far, Bonney has used this power to transform into several forms, including a Buccaneer-like body, a giant form, and most importantly, a Gear 5-like form. Toshi Toshi no Mi techniques Aside from her age-altering ability, Bonney has used her Devil Fruit for a number of techniques, including: Distortion Future Bonney first used this technique in Chapter 1064 (Episode 1094), later named in Chapter 1072 (Episode 1103). This allows her to transform herself or someone else into a person from a \u201cdifferent future.\u201d She can use this to change into a more powerful and muscular body like Kuma. Distortion Future: A Future Like Nika Thanks to being raised by Kuma, Bonney adores and idolizes Sun God Nika. However, she only had a vague idea about the deity\u2019s power. This is why when she transforms into \u2018a future like Nika\u2019, all she can do is enlarge certain body parts, very similar to Luffy\u2019s Gear 3. Distortion Future A Future like a Giant First used in Chapter 1115, Bonney transforms into a huge form like a giant to protect herself from Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro. This happens sometime after Dorry and Brogy, along with the giants, arrive on Egghead Island to bring Luffy and his crew to Elbaf. So, it seems Bonney gets her inspiration from them. Distortion Future: A Future Where I am Most Free This is Bonney\u2019s most powerful Devil Fruit technique yet. She uses it in Chapter 1118 after being encouraged by Luffy. With this technique, she can transform into a Nika-like form where her hair and clothes turn white and her features become like Gear 5. Toshi Tsuki With this technique, Bonney uses the power of Toshi Toshi no Mi through weapons. Usually, she channels her ability into a sword and transforms her targets into younger forms by impaling them with it. Oil Shock This technique is used on inanimate objects, mainly metal, to age them into corroding and eventually being destroyed. Bonney uses it in Chapter 1072 (Episode 1103) when she breaks the lock of Vegapunk\u2019s laboratory. NDE Its actual name is Near-Death Experience and it\u2019s also Bonney\u2019s bleakest technique. With NDE, she shoots her target on the head. But instead of dying, they begin to age rapidly until they turn into a skeletal form before reverting. The horrifying psychological aspect of it turns them catatonic. How can Bonney transform into Nika? Bonney can transform into Nika thanks to the power of Toshi Toshi no Mi. It allows her to change into a future of her imagination. Before meeting Luffy, Bonney only had a vague idea about Nik, so she couldn\u2019t transform into an accurate replica of the deity. However, after seeing Luffy\u2019s Gear 5 and witnessing his astonishing abilities, she can imagine herself being someone like that. When she has to protect the Elbaf ship from Mars and Ju Peter, she\u2019s able to transform into a form she knows to be the strongest i.e., Nika. This is why her new form differs from her first \u2018a future like Nika\u2019 transformation. However, it must be noted that Bonney\u2019s Nika form is only a replica of the deity, unlike Luffy who possesses the real Hito Hito no Mi; Model: Nika. This is evident not just by the power difference between Luffy and Bonney, but also by their changes in behavior. Luffy becomes the epitome of freedom in Gear 5, someone who has no concept of limit and only knows joy. His maniacal laughter and carefree attitude are the very essence of Nika. However, Bonney remains entirely herself even after transforming into her new form. But thanks to the encouragement and camaraderie she receives from Luffy, she becomes more confident in her abilities. Is Bonney as strong as Luffy\u2019s Gear 5? Bonney is not as strong as Luffy\u2019s Gear 5. At first glance, it seems exactly like Luffy\u2019s Gear 5, which sparked a lot of controversy. However, Chapter 1119 makes it clear that despite the similar appearance, Bonney\u2019s Nika form is inferior to Gear 5. In Chapter 1119, Bonney reverts to her real child form soon after her transformation. She reveals she can\u2019t hold this form for long. Given Luffy\u2019s condition whenever he\u2019s coming down from Gear 5, it\u2019s understandable. However, Bonney not being able to retain this for a few minutes proves just how weaker she still compared to Luffy. Nevertheless, having technique still makes her one of the most dangerous characters on Egghead Island at present. Bonney\u2019s Devil Fruit powers will be revealed more as the story progresses.
