Kuma is such a good dad. Also, somebody give Bonney some love-

One Piece Spoilers Ep 1092
The reveal that Bonney is Kuma’s daughter really re-contextualizes his first appearance in Thriller Bark for me.
A girl that looks just about his daughter’s age with the same pink hair and general attitude looks at him with unfiltered fear in her eyes. Did he see his daughter in her? Did he fear the monster he might soon become that would not hesitate to kill her? Did he wonder if his daughter would soon look at him that way too?
“If you were to go on a vacation where would you go?” He asks her as she squares up to fight him. And he sends her to what I’m sure he knows is Mihawk’s island with some trust that he is a decent man.
Just another small drop of angst in Bartholomew Kuma’s story :(

Loki really is the princess of the arc, isn't he?

JUST TWO DADS DOING WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS BEST FOR THEIR BABIES
Kudos to Oda for accurately portraying how powerful & smart & resilient & brave & terrifying little girls are. Gotta be one of the most radical things he's done for the shonen genre.
Frobin really looked at Bonney and said "we're your parents now"
Oh no, they've been infected by Zoro's terrible sense of direction!
nami is usually the one who has a soft spot for children, so it means a lot for robin to be the crewmember bonney latched on to. robin who cut her hair and put on a dark dress so she could look similar to her childhood self. and bonney, who is finally comfortable and safe enough to look her real age
my current top 3 favs in one piece and me forcing them to interact bc that's super unlikely to happen in canon right now
Controversial Opinion.
The One Piece Anti's are actually CORRECT about One Piece having a bunch of overly-convenient powers being held by ladies, lately.
And I love it.
I love Tama and her ability to mind control literally ALL of Kaido's gifters, making her an unexpectedly central part of the protagonists' victory.
I love Jewelry Bonney and her ability to imitate Gear Five Luffy and help turn the tide of the current arc, and also control all Kuma-Fistas
I love Boa Hancock having just the right mix of powers and attractiveness that lets her Insta-KO entire armies, as well as some of the setting's most powerful characters.
Hell, if they're doing what I think they're doing with Catarina Devon, I even love that.
Powerful Mary-Sue-ish Ladies Sweep!
Y'all. Y'ALL, this chapter was so good! And what stands out to me the most about it is how perfectly in fits with the overarching themes of the series.
Bonney unlocking a Nika-like form is SO GOOD, even just on the surface level. The design is wonderful, and I just know that her and Luffy's team-up fight is going to have absolutely wacky cartoon shenanigans, and I personally can't wait. But the themes behind the unlocking of this form make it even better.
Bonney's devil fruit works off of imagination and belief, if she can picture it and then believe it is something she can achieve in the future, she can do it. But, if she looses faith, that power no longer works as well. We saw that earlier in this arc before she saw Luffy (as Nika) and her faith was (in part) restored.
And so her only now being able to unlock a Nika-like form means that she did not truly believe that she could (or would) ever be free until this moment
and as heart wrenchingly sad as that is, for a child to no longer believe in their own future of freedom, it makes sense. Bonney grew up under the oppressive thumb of the world government. She witnessed at such a young age, her father - her incredibly kind, incredibly strong father - have his autonomy, his FREEDOM stripped away by being turned into a living weapon for said oppressive government. Of course she is going to struggle to picture herself as being totally free.
But then she meets back up Luffy, and he asks her to fight with him. And when she says that there is no way that she could keep up with him when he's Nika, he says "Of course you can!" And we see Bonney regain her hope in that moment. We see her regain her belief in that she can be free, that she WILL be free one day, thanks to Luffy believing in her. We see a man that she believes is god look at her and validate her strength, validate her power, and most importantly validate her freedom. Who tells her that freedom isn't something just for him, but rather that it's for everyone. That it is for HER.
And while this is shown literally thanks to Bonney's devil fruit, it also works in the metaphorical sense as well. Luffy is not the only person who can be totally free. That level of freedom is achievable by everyone, whether or not they literally become a version of Nika or not. And Bonney's Nika-like form is confirmation of that. It is the physical manifestation of the idea, and I think it's an incredible way of showcasing it.
I teared up when I got to the Nika Bonney part of this chapter. It is a culmination of everything One Piece stands for as a series, and I'm so happy that it's not shying away from it.

Congrats to Bonney for joining the baby sisters gang and to Luffy for continuing his tradition of adopting one child per island
