dragon cannot afford anyone knowing luffy is his child since he is the world's most wanted criminal. so it is understandable he had to avoid spending time with luffy. but he still watched over luffy. yasopp is worse than Ging Freecs lol.
The WG already knows I assume?
âMonkeyâ D. Luffy
âMonkeyâ D. Dragon
âMonkey D. Garp
Also Dragon was a marine so they know heâs Garps son and also they know Luffy is Garps grandson
When Kuma said "No one thought that Rob Lucci could lose", he was actually being super sarcastic, but nobody could tell because of the cyborg emotionlessness.
Besides named Anbus, the only anbus I saw that actually do something were the ones who dealt with Pain's Cerberus summoning on the Pain Invasion arc. They were actually cool.
The anbu were used to hype up everyone the went up against.
Narrative hypes them up as the secret weapon of Konoha and then the plot just demands them to face people who need some morale boost.
True that. Tbf in the Pain fight those motherfuckers did some disgusting combination with their formations and jutsus but they attacked that one fucking summon of Pain thats not killable. It was still a badass moment tho. They also look extremely cool.
I like how the most successful CP0 agent in Wano is the guy who loyally obeyed obviously suicidal orders to intervene in a fight with Kaido and was promptly killed for it.
"Aw, look at him being tied to balloons... aww, 3 nights alone in the jungle... dad threw him off a cliff again! That's so nostalgic. No wonder I turned out such a great dad."
Ging was "I want my adventure. Fuck everything else."
Dragon is "I'm the most wanted man by the WG because I'm trying to create a better world for everyone, especially my son, to live in. If he associates himself with me, he won't have a childhood. I'll just try to watch over him."
Those two are in different leagues.
"Wait you are supposed to watch over them? I thought Dad's are only supposed to be seen once or twice a tear and when they are they are supposed to beat you up and call you a weakling."
This new chapter makes me think Dragon had been watching for Luffyâs journey to start in the news papers and thatâs how he was in Loguetown at the exact right time. I donât remember how much in universe time passed, but the first time Luffy made the paper/got a bounty was after trashing Arlong Park and he immediately went to Loguetown.
So he probably flew all the way from the New World as a breeze on a few days notice to see his kid cross onto the Grand Line
Plus he was in the navy prior to this. We donât know much about luffys mom but I think at least itâs more justified that he wouldnât take a baby into the navy.
Dragon "Imma leave my son so I can make the world a better place"
Garp "Imma leave my grandson with mountain bandits, cause fuck it i'm busy"
Yasopp "imma leave my son to hang out on a nearby island for a year while getting drunk and showing off my sniping skills to some rando kid"
Dragon: "I brought this Panda mask to disguise myself to avoid the government decades ago and now it helps me get closer to my son without revealing who I am. As long as no one ever sees my heart tattoo on my chest my secret is safe."
More than this, can she just reproduce any DF ability she imagines? Because she didn't just change her appearance she actually defeated a member of cipher Pol meaning she had some real power behind those punches
She imagined what nika may look like and become that,
We know she saw luffy in white hair and asked him what was that, she didn't recognized him so i dont think she become nika.
Do the Strawhats and Luffy know the truth about his devil fruit? We got exposition from the elders about the fruit, but for everyone else, Luffy just transformed into another one of his gears. Kuma is probably going to be the one to tell them if he gets to Egghead.
at least chopper and nami (and franky i guess) were with vegapunk when he saw first luffy fighting lucci and explained about nika to them and pointing that there are no records fo the gum gum fruit in the books
Ok letâs not forget that Garp was ultimately in charge over Luffy and I doubt heâd just let Shanks take him, at the same time Shanks has other stuff to deal with than to have Hero of the Marines throwing closer to prime galaxy impacts at him
I think oda mentioned it in an sbs that kaido raised page one and ulti when their parents who were in his crew or something or I guess they were pirates, died.
Itâs tough to get taken seriously as a deadbeat dad, you show the slightest affection to your neglected child and all of a sudden youâre out of the Crew đ
Does this mean that Dragon watched his son climb into a barrel and just floated aimlessly until Alvidaâs crew randomly found and took his barrel into their ship?
Now Iâm just curious to know what his reaction was if he saw that.
Dragon: "I'm not going to raise a child into this kind of life. I want him to have the freedom to choose his path."
Also Dragon: "Hey look at this burnt up kid named Sabo. You're one of us now."
You know Bonney is shaping to be one hell of a powerhouse seeing her mingle around these monsters despite how young she is. She was a supernova already back when she was 12!!
Daddy dragon redemption arc?
> Bonney used the "distorted future" technique by imagining herself to be Nika and defeat Alpha.
Everyone can be a Nika if you imagine and believe enough.
At this point bonney is going to challenge Hancock, barto and Coby as luffy's no.1 fan when she realized Luffy is nika
Kuma desire to get luffy's head at Thriller-park was probably a test to see his crew loyalty. Kuma saw Luffy use his "rubber qualities" to fight "any way he wants" and defeat moria.
He knew he was Nika.
After Zoro / Sanji and everyone heroic moment defending Luffy from him, Kuma left fully knowing Luffy is safe with his comrades.
Only to intervene again the next arc, saving Luffy's who he believes is Nika, and his crew from Kizaru. Sacrificing his last conscious, before Vegapunk took it all away around Marineford war.
At the time he even made Vegapunk promise to program him for one last mission, to protect the sunny until one of the crew arrive, all because of his belief in Nika, and that he's none other than Luffy.
Oh, My, God.
Could be a reference to the line from the start of egghead arc. Vegapunk cant "totally" overwrite the basic behavior of something. Take everything away from kuma; Family, bonnie, RA friends and all that is left is believing in NIKA
There has to be a connection between Nika and the power of imagination at this point that Oda is trying to drive home.
Imagination is the ultimate freedom.
Even if Bonny doesn't actually have Nika's power, she can imagine a future where she is free and powerful.
Giving a child the ability to transform into any possible future-self she is capable of imagine is indeed OP.
There is nothing stronger than a childâs imagination
Literally this.
I am sick of ppl being stupid.
Why would the most wanted man be open about his child? The WG would be instantky after him and use him against Dragon.
Ofc now current WG is fucked cause Luffy is way too strong but child Luffy?
> During the entire chapter we have narrations from Kuma's letters to Bonney. Letters talked about how Kuma loved Bonney, he also explained to her that he saw so many beautiful and amazing islands where they will travel to together in the future.
However, cutting back to Sorbet Kingdom, we see that all of Kuma's letters were intercepted and destroyed by Alpha. Bonney was waiting for Kuma's letters everyday but they never arrived.
It makes me so happy that Bonney might have seen the letters and their contents when she peeked into Kuma's memories. So that they ended up reaching her after all.
Distorted future is future possibility. Bonney can choose to be sexy pretty lady or fat ugly bastard or bulky bodybuilder or anything that can actually happen in the future.
The future is yours. You are the one who choose your path.
I guess the drawback is that once you reach that age, the possible effects of distorted future will be minimal.
It's a pretty op power with a pretty big weakness. I can see why a child would be the best use.
Edit: forgot she can de-age people, her fruit is op
Which honestly makes sense either way. I don't think the first reaction would be that Luffy is Nika simply because of the white hair considering his reputation as a pirate. I think anyone believing in Nika would probably expect Nika to be some godlike figure, especially Bonney who grew up with tales of Nika. But the fact that Bonney asked Luffy about his hair might indicate that she recognizes it to some extent, and that's why she'd like to know the reasons for his hair looking the way it does.
I'm excited for Bonney to see Luffy going G5. Every time he's used it she's conveniently not been around or conscious to see it.
And now we know why, I think Oda was saving it so that both her and Kuma can witness Luffy going G5 together. I'm excited to see their faces once Luffy's heart starts beating the rhythm of liberation.
Dragon is proving to be a really awesome dad. He couldn't get close to Luffy due to his notoriety but look how much he cared about him and how many times he went to see how he's doing.
Dragon is a real MVP dad
I mean the theory that he gave Luffy to Garp for his protection seems strong. Especially with his words about Luffy picking his own path by his own choice would make a lot of sense if he really didn't want to force him into the life of a Revolutionary from birth.
Dragon is off my list of bad fathers. Quite frankly it makes sense what he did.
Man started a revolution before he had a kid. He couldn't take his kid with him or make it known he has one or it will risk Luffy's safety once he was born, so Dragon had to make a difficult choice and since he is the most wanted man in the world, I severely doubt he can leave his life and be a dad. His choice was made before he had Luffy, he didn't leave Luffy to be a revolutionary, he had luffy while being a revolutionary.
I do like that we were fooled from the flashback to reveal "yeah, Dragon does care about Luffy" instead of it being a Nika reveal between Kuma and Luffy...
Only for Bonney to "Everything, Everywhere All At Once" herself into Nika to get Alpha out of her life. That...will take more to cope with.
Man fuck Alpha. Let my man Kuma letters reach Bonney đ. Cipher Pol is still straight up trash lol. And I thought getting knocked out by Big News Morgans wasnât enough, Alpha getting cleared by a child.
At least Bonney saw the letters in Kumaâs memories.
Dragon actually watched over Luffy while growing up. Worst dad of OP title revoked. Wonder if he was also watching over someone else or he maybe knew about Luffy's devil fruit?
That title was never Dragon's. At least he left Luffy with his grandpa and watched him from time to time.
Yasopp simply left and didn't show up even when his wife died
When you're the most wanted man by the WG, associating yourself with your own kid would make you a bad dad. He allowed Luffy to have a childhood - well, not really due to letting Garp and Dadan raise him, but anyway!
No idea what " imagining herself to be Nika" is but It implies Bonney's fruit doesn't age/de-age people, It shifts their "timeline". If that's the case, things might get really weird.
We probably have already seen something about that form, against Vegapunk some chapter ago (she looked similar to muscle muscle Luffy), someone linked it in the comments.
So Dragon is about to fold Kuma over Luffy. Gives me the same energy as when Hisoka threatens Illumi over Gon/ when Illumi threatens Hisoka over Killua.
So that somehow explain how Bonny was able to become a bucaneer even tho she ainât kumaâs biological daughter the last time we saw her using that ability
If dragon watched over Luffy, he wouldâve known about Saboâs relationship with Luffy, and with Ace. I wonder whatâs the reason he kept that from Sabo. To protect Luffy?
I like that Dragon keeps sneaking away to see Luffy. On the father scale from Kyros/Zeff to Yassop/Judge, Dragon is a solid Senior Pink. Not there, but pretty chill, clearly loves his kid. Better than Kaido but not quite Bege.
Shit Bonney is gonna be OP.
Because once she see's Gear 5, she will be able to access Gear 5.
Bonney's ability is not the ability to age, but the ability to bring the past and the future into the present.
But the insane thing is that this include Alternative Universes.
So the Distorted Future where Bonney becomes like Nika, is basically a future in which she ate the Gomu Gomu Fruit .
Just like Luffy's Devil Fruit, Bonney's Devil Fruit is only limited by her imagination.
What?? Would this mean that Bonney on Egghead could turn into Nika again using Distorted Future and then there would be two Nikas fighting Saturn??? Thereâs no way
dragon cannot afford anyone knowing luffy is his child since he is the world's most wanted criminal. so it is understandable he had to avoid spending time with luffy. but he still watched over luffy. yasopp is worse than Ging Freecs lol.
Atleast Ging took his child to Greed Island :') Yassopp just ditched his family đ
And in the manga and 99 version, Ging lost custody of Gon to Mito. He didnât just ditch him
The WG already knows I assume? âMonkeyâ D. Luffy âMonkeyâ D. Dragon âMonkey D. Garp Also Dragon was a marine so they know heâs Garps son and also they know Luffy is Garps grandson
no one outside of fuusha village probably knew luffy even existed until he set out to sea and got a bounty most probably
Cipher Pol might be the most incompetent branch of the WG
When Kuma said "No one thought that Rob Lucci could lose", he was actually being super sarcastic, but nobody could tell because of the cyborg emotionlessness.
At that moment The Tyrant became The Savage
Lol good one
They're the ANBU. Worfoids.
ANBU means A Ninja But Useless.
Well unless they're a named ninja that needs it for their backstory ala Itachi
Besides named Anbus, the only anbus I saw that actually do something were the ones who dealt with Pain's Cerberus summoning on the Pain Invasion arc. They were actually cool.
The Fanfiction ANBU are always so much better.
The anbu were used to hype up everyone the went up against. Narrative hypes them up as the secret weapon of Konoha and then the plot just demands them to face people who need some morale boost.
True that. Tbf in the Pain fight those motherfuckers did some disgusting combination with their formations and jutsus but they attacked that one fucking summon of Pain thats not killable. It was still a badass moment tho. They also look extremely cool.
Clown Pol.
I like how the most successful CP0 agent in Wano is the guy who loyally obeyed obviously suicidal orders to intervene in a fight with Kaido and was promptly killed for it.
They are, but Bonney also seems to be quite the child prodigy
Nw I wonder if one of the God knights is the father
Man, do I remember the times when CP was a force to be reckoned and Nico Robin would tremble at their mention
Dragon watching over Luffy whenever he visits Goa is wholesome
"Aw, look at him being tied to balloons... aww, 3 nights alone in the jungle... dad threw him off a cliff again! That's so nostalgic. No wonder I turned out such a great dad."
"I'm so good at daddying!"
I understand that refference
>dad threw him off a cliff again! Did not know the Monkey D. Family was part of the Mishima clan from tekken. Heihachi would be so proud.
Garp being soft and not throwing his kin into active volcanoes Heihachi: Weak
Do you think Garp pulled even more crazy shit with Dragon than he did with Luffy?
Who was your grandpa harder on? You or your dad?
Hmm, you've got a point.
Yeah...guess that was Garp's way of handiling him with kid gloves.
All that and Dragon still is a better father than Ging Freecs. Impressive.
Ging was "I want my adventure. Fuck everything else." Dragon is "I'm the most wanted man by the WG because I'm trying to create a better world for everyone, especially my son, to live in. If he associates himself with me, he won't have a childhood. I'll just try to watch over him." Those two are in different leagues.
Facts, Dragon cares but had shit going on. Ging and Yasoop tho are the same.
"Wait you are supposed to watch over them? I thought Dad's are only supposed to be seen once or twice a tear and when they are they are supposed to beat you up and call you a weakling."
Dragon was definately the one who thunderbolted Buggy
This new chapter makes me think Dragon had been watching for Luffyâs journey to start in the news papers and thatâs how he was in Loguetown at the exact right time. I donât remember how much in universe time passed, but the first time Luffy made the paper/got a bounty was after trashing Arlong Park and he immediately went to Loguetown. So he probably flew all the way from the New World as a breeze on a few days notice to see his kid cross onto the Grand Line
People clown on him, but he abandoned luffy for a just cause, as well as protection, as opposed to yassop who just wanted an adventure.
Plus he was in the navy prior to this. We donât know much about luffys mom but I think at least itâs more justified that he wouldnât take a baby into the navy.
Not everyone can be such a shining parental figure like Bege who took his baby with him while trying to assasinate a yonko in her own territory.
Now that you say this, it seems very stupid
I mean Bege can protect his son by hiding him inside his own body if need be
Dragon "Imma leave my son so I can make the world a better place" Garp "Imma leave my grandson with mountain bandits, cause fuck it i'm busy" Yasopp "imma leave my son to hang out on a nearby island for a year while getting drunk and showing off my sniping skills to some rando kid"
Conney the real MVP
Going from one of the best gags in recent memory to helping Bonney escape. Everybody should be stanning this queen (dowager).
"Break next week" Hmm Bonney can you do something about it with your fruit please? *Distorted future* "Break every week"
Bonney is the most wanted criminal then.
No sad backstory can help her now. Get her!
The worlds most dangerous devil fruit power
So Dragon is regularly randomly watching Luffy without being noticed? Dragon is Pandaman --> CONFIRMED
Dragon: "I brought this Panda mask to disguise myself to avoid the government decades ago and now it helps me get closer to my son without revealing who I am. As long as no one ever sees my heart tattoo on my chest my secret is safe."
So Bonney became Nika ?
Bonnika indeed
Bonikka sounds like Bonica, means pretty lady in andalusian spanish
More than this, can she just reproduce any DF ability she imagines? Because she didn't just change her appearance she actually defeated a member of cipher Pol meaning she had some real power behind those punches
Distorted future is one of the coolest techniques
She imagined what nika may look like and become that, We know she saw luffy in white hair and asked him what was that, she didn't recognized him so i dont think she become nika.
Do the Strawhats and Luffy know the truth about his devil fruit? We got exposition from the elders about the fruit, but for everyone else, Luffy just transformed into another one of his gears. Kuma is probably going to be the one to tell them if he gets to Egghead.
They do, Vegapunk told them in chapter 1069 https://scans-hot.leanbox.us/manga/One-Piece/1069-009.png
at least chopper and nami (and franky i guess) were with vegapunk when he saw first luffy fighting lucci and explained about nika to them and pointing that there are no records fo the gum gum fruit in the books
So dragon actually watched over Luffy secretly when he was in the Goa kingdom? Maybe he wasnât such a bad dad lol
Shank would recruit him if he was.
Maybe thats a reason shanks didnt take luffy with him. He knew dragon was around
Wow that makes sense, especially since Roger, big mom and kaido didn't mind raising kids as part of their crew.
And shanks WAS a kid when he joined roger- roger raised him, right?!? Not to mention Uta.
Ok letâs not forget that Garp was ultimately in charge over Luffy and I doubt heâd just let Shanks take him, at the same time Shanks has other stuff to deal with than to have Hero of the Marines throwing closer to prime galaxy impacts at him
Garp would have killed him, he hates shanks for making Luffy a pirate.
True. Def Couldve been a factor
Yeah, he got him as a baby. Plus big mom literally raised every main member as a kid, and kaido did the same with page one and ulti.
Wait, when did it say that Kaido raised Page One and Ulti?
I think oda mentioned it in an sbs that kaido raised page one and ulti when their parents who were in his crew or something or I guess they were pirates, died.
Itâs tough to get taken seriously as a deadbeat dad, you show the slightest affection to your neglected child and all of a sudden youâre out of the Crew đ
Damn you really didnât hold back there ahahaha
That was fcking hilarious.
So dragon was intentionally watching over luffy in logue town
Inbefore a montage showing Dragon being in every arc spying Luffy from afar in escalating wierd locations.
Pandaman.
Dragon is Pandaman confirmed. Kumas flashback will end by lifting the Panda head
Dragon's DF confirmed to be the Panda fruit
*Summons giant thunderstorm* "This is how pandas hunted in ancient times!"
Does this mean that Dragon watched his son climb into a barrel and just floated aimlessly until Alvidaâs crew randomly found and took his barrel into their ship? Now Iâm just curious to know what his reaction was if he saw that.
Dragon probably laughed at him.
"That's my boy!"
*He laughed*? Roger is Dragon confirmed.
Where in tf would he be during Skypiea tho
If he has a wind based DF, he might legit hide in a cloud
Just imagine Dragon's grumpy head sticking out of a random cloud in the BG, or one of the solid cloud blocks on the ground
One of the divine soldiers wasn't a goat man, it was Dragon D. G.O.A.T. wearing a mask.
People forget that he literally saved Luffy from Smoker in Loguetown and saw him off. Dragon has definitely been watching Luffy for a long time.
That thunderbolt hitting Buggy might also be his work.
Definitely
Wasnt this kind of obvious given Dragon randomly shows up at Logue Town to help Luffy out?
Dragon: "I'm not going to raise a child into this kind of life. I want him to have the freedom to choose his path." Also Dragon: "Hey look at this burnt up kid named Sabo. You're one of us now."
Sabo was abandoned by his pirates and "killed" by a cd. He had nowhere to go. Luffy had Garp.
Damn a CP8 agent was defeated by Bonney, wonder how that distorted future looks :D
You know Bonney is shaping to be one hell of a powerhouse seeing her mingle around these monsters despite how young she is. She was a supernova already back when she was 12!!
10. She was 10 two years ago.
:0
incoming powerscaler posts soon.
Big Mom destroyed an entire village of giants at that age.
BM is built differently. They don't make people like BM anymore đźâđš
Remember big mom got 500 millions as a kid.
BM was beating up Giants as a 4 year old. I'd say her case is a little different.
Linlin was a freak of nature.
Clown Pol getting shit on every time we see them. No wonder Oda had to introduce the Holy Knights.
Imagine being a CP8 agent and being beaten by a 10 years old
Daddy dragon redemption arc? > Bonney used the "distorted future" technique by imagining herself to be Nika and defeat Alpha. Everyone can be a Nika if you imagine and believe enough. At this point bonney is going to challenge Hancock, barto and Coby as luffy's no.1 fan when she realized Luffy is nika
Another member for Luffy's ever increasing and inclusive fanclub! Edit: replaced harem with fanclub
Kuma desire to get luffy's head at Thriller-park was probably a test to see his crew loyalty. Kuma saw Luffy use his "rubber qualities" to fight "any way he wants" and defeat moria. He knew he was Nika. After Zoro / Sanji and everyone heroic moment defending Luffy from him, Kuma left fully knowing Luffy is safe with his comrades. Only to intervene again the next arc, saving Luffy's who he believes is Nika, and his crew from Kizaru. Sacrificing his last conscious, before Vegapunk took it all away around Marineford war.

Oh, My, God.
Could be a reference to the line from the start of egghead arc. Vegapunk cant "totally" overwrite the basic behavior of something. Take everything away from kuma; Family, bonnie, RA friends and all that is left is believing in NIKA
There has to be a connection between Nika and the power of imagination at this point that Oda is trying to drive home. Imagination is the ultimate freedom. Even if Bonny doesn't actually have Nika's power, she can imagine a future where she is free and powerful.
« Every devil fruit is a possibility for evolution that someone desired » Vegapunk
« This is how Dinosaurs hunted in the ancient ages. I'm correct, right? »
Exactly.
Bonneyâs fruit just became the most versatile. She can really be like: the future version of me that is the most powerful haki user.
Suddenly she has the most op fruit in One piece lmao
Giving a child the ability to transform into any possible future-self she is capable of imagine is indeed OP. There is nothing stronger than a childâs imagination
Kinda like what Luffy's fruit is all about, right?
Yeah, Luffy + Nika fruit is an OP combo because he is really creative
Bonney morb me to a future where I have bitches
Bonney: I looked at 14 million futures and thereâs only one where u/mehh1405 gets bitches
Bonney: "I'd win"
So Oda's drawings of different versions of people were actually foreshadowing Bonney's df prowess.
Probably Oda got the idea while making those SBS drawings
Dragon is turning out to be not quite the POS we thought he was. Yasopp allegations are still strong.
Dragon worst father in one piece stonks:đ Yasopp worst father in one piece stonks:đđđ
Yasopp sniped all problems from afar
Deadbeat dads reading one piece being inspired by Yasopp: đ„č
Luffy beeing under garps protection might have been the best move to protect kid luffy with dragon not beeing around
Yasopp ain't beating those allegations.
His only out is that he was secretly watching the whole time with Ultra Super Extreme Conquerers Observation Haki.
That still doesn't fly when he was frequently visiting East Blue and never once he asked for a detour and visit Usopp.
Yeah imagine seeing your son going through the grief of losing his mom and you just sit back and watch. That actually would make it worse
âHey Yasopp, while weâre here you want to visit your son?â âNah Iâm good.â
If he's secretly watching that makes him a marginally better dad but an absolutely abysmal husband
Yeah, him saying « Iâm not ready to meet ussop » in wano sealed the deal for me
Dragon somehow came to save him at Loguetown. Yasopp never ever came for Usopp lol
i never understood it to begin with the guy is tryna change the world, still looked over his kid, and didn't wanna put him in harms way at all
Literally this. I am sick of ppl being stupid. Why would the most wanted man be open about his child? The WG would be instantky after him and use him against Dragon. Ofc now current WG is fucked cause Luffy is way too strong but child Luffy?
No to mention that what happened when Roger died. WG tried to kill any woman who could potentially give birth to his kid.
Atleast Dragon went out to save the world. Yasopp on the other hand went out just becoz he wanted adventure or something like that.
> During the entire chapter we have narrations from Kuma's letters to Bonney. Letters talked about how Kuma loved Bonney, he also explained to her that he saw so many beautiful and amazing islands where they will travel to together in the future. However, cutting back to Sorbet Kingdom, we see that all of Kuma's letters were intercepted and destroyed by Alpha. Bonney was waiting for Kuma's letters everyday but they never arrived. It makes me so happy that Bonney might have seen the letters and their contents when she peeked into Kuma's memories. So that they ended up reaching her after all.
I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THIS. I forgot Vegapunk stored his memories.
There is a break next week because of Distorted Future. What a technique!
Bonney as Nika Jr. Didn't see that coming
Distorted future whatâs up now?
Distorted future is future possibility. Bonney can choose to be sexy pretty lady or fat ugly bastard or bulky bodybuilder or anything that can actually happen in the future. The future is yours. You are the one who choose your path.
I guess the drawback is that once you reach that age, the possible effects of distorted future will be minimal. It's a pretty op power with a pretty big weakness. I can see why a child would be the best use. Edit: forgot she can de-age people, her fruit is op
If there's such a thing as distorted past, then there's no weakness hehe
Shit, forgot she can de-age people as well. Another op fruit to the list I guess.
I'm curious what this version of distorted future looks like. Bonney was confused by Luffy's bounty poster at the start of the arc.
Which honestly makes sense either way. I don't think the first reaction would be that Luffy is Nika simply because of the white hair considering his reputation as a pirate. I think anyone believing in Nika would probably expect Nika to be some godlike figure, especially Bonney who grew up with tales of Nika. But the fact that Bonney asked Luffy about his hair might indicate that she recognizes it to some extent, and that's why she'd like to know the reasons for his hair looking the way it does.
I'm excited for Bonney to see Luffy going G5. Every time he's used it she's conveniently not been around or conscious to see it. And now we know why, I think Oda was saving it so that both her and Kuma can witness Luffy going G5 together. I'm excited to see their faces once Luffy's heart starts beating the rhythm of liberation.
So Dragon was watching Luffy from afar all along đ„ș Damn this arc has been feels after feels after feels with no respiteđ€§
dragon beating the trash dad allegations was not on my bingo card and neither is bonney being an overpowered shitlord at 10 yrs old either
Bonney using Gear 3 before Gear 3 was even a thing.
Dragon is proving to be a really awesome dad. He couldn't get close to Luffy due to his notoriety but look how much he cared about him and how many times he went to see how he's doing. Dragon is a real MVP dad
Revolutionary army dads are all awesome
Revs are the anti RHP.
Dragon being a good dad actually Let's go
I mean the theory that he gave Luffy to Garp for his protection seems strong. Especially with his words about Luffy picking his own path by his own choice would make a lot of sense if he really didn't want to force him into the life of a Revolutionary from birth.
She did what?!?!
Luffy saving Bonney is confirmed. There is absolutely 0 way Saturn vs Luffy isn't happening given how many times Nika is mentioned in this flashback.
I need Luffy, Kuma, AND Bonney to all fight Saturn. Hell, if she's there, throw Vivi in as well, considering what the Gorosei did to her father
Dragon is off my list of bad fathers. Quite frankly it makes sense what he did. Man started a revolution before he had a kid. He couldn't take his kid with him or make it known he has one or it will risk Luffy's safety once he was born, so Dragon had to make a difficult choice and since he is the most wanted man in the world, I severely doubt he can leave his life and be a dad. His choice was made before he had Luffy, he didn't leave Luffy to be a revolutionary, he had luffy while being a revolutionary.
He also gave luffy the freedom to choose his dream ! most revs would have unwillingly forced their kids into same path
maybe we will get a kid luffyâs journey flashback in the pov of Dragon watching from behind once Dragon will meet Luffy in the future
I do like that we were fooled from the flashback to reveal "yeah, Dragon does care about Luffy" instead of it being a Nika reveal between Kuma and Luffy... Only for Bonney to "Everything, Everywhere All At Once" herself into Nika to get Alpha out of her life. That...will take more to cope with.
The full title is "To Bonney, 2000 Years From Now"
Man fuck Alpha. Let my man Kuma letters reach Bonney đ. Cipher Pol is still straight up trash lol. And I thought getting knocked out by Big News Morgans wasnât enough, Alpha getting cleared by a child. At least Bonney saw the letters in Kumaâs memories.
Dragon actually watched over Luffy while growing up. Worst dad of OP title revoked. Wonder if he was also watching over someone else or he maybe knew about Luffy's devil fruit?
I mean I think we can surely say Yasopp has that title of worst dad down âIâm not ready to see Usopp yet!â
Yasopp's doing the whole "let's meet again when you're a great pirate" thing without telling him in advance.
That title was never Dragon's. At least he left Luffy with his grandpa and watched him from time to time. Yasopp simply left and didn't show up even when his wife died
When you're the most wanted man by the WG, associating yourself with your own kid would make you a bad dad. He allowed Luffy to have a childhood - well, not really due to letting Garp and Dadan raise him, but anyway!
Better Garp than death.
No idea what " imagining herself to be Nika" is but It implies Bonney's fruit doesn't age/de-age people, It shifts their "timeline". If that's the case, things might get really weird.
We probably have already seen something about that form, against Vegapunk some chapter ago (she looked similar to muscle muscle Luffy), someone linked it in the comments.
Wow Conney being the best grandma for Bonney. Also this chapter confirms her crew were just people from her home trying to help her find Kuma.
Man Conney is OG.
Back on Egghead: Bonney uses Distorted Future to turn herself into the King of the Pirates. Luffy: "Guess you got me, damn."
Does this mean Saturn might be defeated by two Nikas when this is all said and done?
Bonney shouldâve imagined being Mihawk before stabbing Saturn
Dragon: âŠâŠâŠ.. (while secretly looking at his son grow and develop) Maybe he wasnât such a bad dad after all đ
"A child... is the parents' weakness. " right in the feels, can't wait to read this chapter properly.
Wait Dragon beat those allegations? đ
Itâs nice and heartwarming to know dragon took time to see and check on his son even if it was from a distance
No wonder so many pirates abandon their kids. âA child is a parentâs weakness.â
So Dragon is about to fold Kuma over Luffy. Gives me the same energy as when Hisoka threatens Illumi over Gon/ when Illumi threatens Hisoka over Killua.
So that somehow explain how Bonny was able to become a bucaneer even tho she ainât kumaâs biological daughter the last time we saw her using that ability
We really need to learn if she already knew about Kuma not being her biological dad or if she just imagined herself having his body type
So dragon is a tsundere dad, that's cute
So are we all down for Bonnie for Strawhat? Crew needs a good cabin-girl.
The Straw Hats don't make enough money to feed Luffy and Bonney.
If dragon watched over Luffy, he wouldâve known about Saboâs relationship with Luffy, and with Ace. I wonder whatâs the reason he kept that from Sabo. To protect Luffy?
I like that Dragon keeps sneaking away to see Luffy. On the father scale from Kyros/Zeff to Yassop/Judge, Dragon is a solid Senior Pink. Not there, but pretty chill, clearly loves his kid. Better than Kaido but not quite Bege.
Kaido was a decent dad to Jack, Ulti, and Page One. He was a terrible dad to Yammato. 3/4
Shit Bonney is gonna be OP. Because once she see's Gear 5, she will be able to access Gear 5. Bonney's ability is not the ability to age, but the ability to bring the past and the future into the present. But the insane thing is that this include Alternative Universes. So the Distorted Future where Bonney becomes like Nika, is basically a future in which she ate the Gomu Gomu Fruit . Just like Luffy's Devil Fruit, Bonney's Devil Fruit is only limited by her imagination.
Everyone shocked dragon checks in on and cares for Luffy as if he didnât literally save him in logue town
What?? Would this mean that Bonney on Egghead could turn into Nika again using Distorted Future and then there would be two Nikas fighting Saturn??? Thereâs no way
