Not spoilers for the new chap; Bonney and Kuma have over the course of the Egghead arc become some of my favorite One Piece characters in a way I never expected. Always continuously impressed at how Oda really gives time for characters to grow. It's very much like how I probably never would have thought Usopp would be my favorite Straw Hat during East Blue, but by the time Enies Lobby was done he's never been shaken from that position for me. The current flashbacks are doing a lot of heavy lifting of course, but the recontextualization of a lot of what we already know really makes me want to dive into a re-read.

im so loving mad that Kuma wrote how much he wanted Bonney to see the world and how much he loved her and the letters just got torn up, like the gently caress was even the point besides “being a bitch”?

also, i teared up just a little when I realized Distorted Future makes Bonney look like a little Buccaneer because she thinks Joyboy would look like Kuma.


Edit: also tearing up the letters in retrospect was stupid on top of being petty, like Kuma was already given instructions not to leak anything to Bonney, having your dad not send letters is just going out of your way to gently caress up your mission lol.

Like it's far from the most horrendous thing that's happened this flashback but something about it has made me the most angry/irritated.

I don’t quite understand the start of the chapter. Kuma was meeting up with Dragon in Goa, but went for a walk beforehand and saw Luffy, and was remembering that fact at the start of this chapter, meaning the end of the last chapter was a flashback within a flashback? Uhhhhh

Seems kinda strange for Dragon to go explicit no-contact with his kid for security reasons but still carry out clandestine meetings there

Kuma visited Luffy and was remembering that, when the RA was in the East Blue, he and Dragon talked about Goa and Kuma had figured out Luffy was his kid. Dragon then told him not to tell anyone. Back to the "present," Kuma was just watching Luffy to check in on him as he's his friend's son.

I interpreted the Goa meetings as Dragon wanting to make sure Luffy is safe without actually checking on him in person.

Kuma wasn't there to meet dragon, the gray gutters indicates a flashback to a conversation they had before. Kuma was just in the area for his job as a warlord.

Ive seen enough. Bonney is the 2nd strongest non-straw hat supernova behind Law and its not close. She would have beat BM harder than Kid easily. Also would have blocked Shanks' attack with a Mihawk-ish sword block.

Joking aside, have we seen her use haki? Obviously at this point we have to assume all major players can, so I'm sure she can, but have we seen it?

This distorted future move is gonna need some more fleshing out in an SBS or something, how the flying gently caress does the Age fruit give you mimic devil fruit abilities, it's such a logic stretch narrative-wise bordering on asspull territory :confused:

One of the first Haki users we saw was a literal child, even younger than Bonney

Also even if you don't count Mantra as Haki, both Ace and Yamato used Conquerors' Haki before the age of 10

bonney simply needs to ask her fruit for a future where she is trained in haki. In fact i bet the fruit's weakness is the user's age. Like, the older Bonney actually gets, the less potential her future holds and the less effective Distorted Future becomes.

It probably wasn't mimicking anything, it was just a theoretical future where she grows as big as her dad. With emphasis on the theoretical given that he's not biologically (... probably) her dad, but I don't think she even knows that.

she does a rubber attack because she turns into Nika and all she knows about him is that he’s made of rubber and is cool and strong (which, because she’s a child, means Nika looks like Kuma), seems like mimicry to me?
