This finally confirms us that Kuma is Bonney’s Father!

For a long time we have all speculated as to why Kuma would willingly give himself to be modified into a Pacifista.

It has been revealed that Kuma used to be the King of the Sorbet Kingdom who was made an example for all other kingdoms of what will happen to them if they betray the World Government. But that still doesn’t explain why he seemingly did not resist.

We saw Jewelry Bonney posing as “Connie”, queen dowager of the Sorbet Kingdom, and trying to infiltrate the Celestial Dragon’s domain to presumably rescue Kuma.

There was also another mystery that we have never gotten an answer to: Why is Bonney important to the Marines/World Government? Well I believe it is all linked!

We generally believe Bonney is older than she looks but if we pay attention to the story the form she changes the most into is her child form. Moreover, in Chapter 1060 we see Luffy saving Bonney from the water. Her being in water should mean her fruit powers are off, putting her in a base form. And in this chapter, we see her as a child.

With this I have come to the conclusion that Jewelry Bonney is actually Kuma’s young daughter. I believe that after the Gentle King Kuma betrayed the World Government, they kidnapped his daughter, ruined his reputation (made him into Kuma the “Tyrant”) and forced him to undergo the modifications that made him into Px-0 or else they would kill his daughter.

In brief, Bonney is important to the World Government because she is the only reason Kuma doesn’t go against them, and is probably one of the only person that knows of Kuma’s true nature and the real reson they did this to him. I think Kuma joined the Revolutionaries because he intended to break the ties with the World Government. But after they captured Bonney, Kuma gave himself up, Bonney eventually escaped but it was already too late.

To conclude, there is a very important detail that many have not noticed so far. This was written and drawn by Oda as you can see in the picture from Vivre Card of Bonney:

“ベガパンクに父を元通りにさせる”

“I’ll let Vegapunk restore my father”

This finally confirms us that Kuma is Bonney’s Father!

Does Sanji have Lunarian Lineage Factors?

Ever since Queen began questioning Sanji about how Judge experimented on the Vinsmoke Family it got me wondering about a question I’ve had ever since Enies Lobby: “How can Sanji set his body on fire?”

For the longest time I just attributed it to the One Piece World being full of strangeness, but Queen specifically questioned it which got me thinking again.

Queen tries to attribute Sanji’s ability to cybernetics. Sanji brushes off the question, saying “the heat of my passion surpasses the temperature of flame”.

With the recent reveal of the Seraphim having Lunarian abilities, I’m beginning to wonder if the Vinsmoke children (or possibly just Sanji) were given some Lunarian DNA as a “prototype” by Judge to see if a modified human could use Lunarian abilities.

We know the former members of MADS all have a history in body modification or artificially emulating strong pre-existing abilities: Caesar trying to make giants, Vegapunk’s artificial devil fruit mimicing Kaido’s devil fruit and the Seraphim emulating the warlords/lunarians’ abilities being my best examples.

I don’t think it’s much of a leap to say MADS did these sorts of experiments prior to the group disbanding, leading to Judge performing a similar experiment on his kids. I don’t want to speculate if Sanji has other abilities that King has shown, but the ability to ignite his body – and have it specifically questioned and compared to the Lunarian race feels like it’s being highlighted for a reason.

That’s how Franky is related to Vegapunk and MADS!

Given the recent creations of Vegapunk have a star denoting them, is it possible that ODA might show a shared history between Franky and Vegapunk? Perhaps a link to MADS?

I’ve been thinking about that… I don’t think Franky is Vegapunk’s kid, but he is related to MADS in both a relative way, but also remember Franky found himself on a ship with all the materials needed to turn himself into a Cyborg. An abandoned ship that had been floating for years.

This was about 10 years prior to present time… MADS split up some time prior to 24 years ago as that’s how old Reiju is and Queen only knew of Judge’s planned modifications, he’d presumably never met any of the children, meaning they were born after the break up. How long after though? We don’t know.

Ages being significant, Franky was 26 when he turned himself into a Cyborg (aboard a long-adrift yet reasonably advanced ship) and was found as a “child” presumably quite young as he was around 8-10 when he met the Roger Pirates (Oden specifically – avoiding the others)… You know what that age range lines up with?

Franky is old enough to have been abandoned around the same time MADS was falling apart. We don’t know how little Cutty Flam was when Tom found him… but any time prior to him being 8 honestly works. Perhaps he was a kid, born to parents within that organization but when it all fell apart he was either lost to pirates or his parents went into piracy to avoid the Government or fight them a little. I don’t know.

In any case – I think that ship is a derelict from the days of that scientific organization, because maybe some of the metalwork and prosthetics and whatnot are explainable… but where does a pirate’s kid get the knowledge to run a body on a carbonated beverage? AND build a complicated hydraulic movement and electrified life-support system capable of sustaining him in the middle of a scrap-boat? Unless there were either some advanced knowledge there (giving context to how he so easily slipped into going through Vegapunk’s old notes and understanding their potential) or he already knew of those principles and how to make them work (and remember he’d only glimpsed at Pluton’s blueprints at this point, not had multiple years to study them).

Jinbe’s Final Opponent In The Great War!

Many argue that towards the end of the series, Luffy will fight against Akainu. Both are leaders and both use fire kind powers plus Luffy will want to take revenge for Ace.

Zoro will fight against Fujitora (both are swordsmen and honorable fighters) and Sanji will fight against Kizaru (speed based fight and both are related to science).

This leaves Aramaki out. Now, since Jinbe has officially joined the crew it makes sense for him to fight against Admiral Green Bull.

1. First, we have to consider Aramaki’s character theme of oppression. I think Jinbe is the perfect Straw Hat to prove him that his view is wrong because of the fish folks past with oppression.
2. Aramaki states in Chapter 1054 “My logia is nature incarnate! A source of life that rivals the seas!” (Scans)/ “The forrest is just as much the cradle of life as the sea!” (Official translation). This could be a foreshadowing for a fight with the First Son of the Sea.
3. Could be an interesting fight given the fact that Aramaki can absorb liquid while Jinbe fights partially with water. So either Aramaki takes Jinbe the possibility to fight with water or maybe he uses more water than Aramaki can absorb.
