As someone who has been following One Piece since its inception, I must say, the latest developments have left me both intrigued and slightly disappointed. Bonney, with her captivating backstory and undeniable chemistry with Luffy, seemed like a shoo-in to become the next Straw Hat. But alas, it seems we may not be adding another member to our beloved crew just yet.
In the approach to the Final Saga of “One Piece,” a question that frequently arises with each new arc is whether the Straw Hat team will take on any additional members during this final chapter of their journey. After Yamato declined, the Egghead Arc introduced Jewelry Bonney as another potential candidate, given her compelling backstory and strong link to the Sun God Nika. However, the most recent installment of “One Piece”‘s Elbaf Arc suggests that a new crew member may not be joining just yet, hinting at a possible delay in the expansion of the Straw Hat roster.
In chapter 1134 of “One Piece”, it’s revealed that Lilith aims to construct a fresh lab on Elbaf with the ultimate goal of resurrecting Vegapunk Stella by creating an exact replica of him. This news makes Bonney wonder if this means Vegapunk could one day restore Kuma’s original consciousness and humanity, to which Lilith gives her approval. This suggests that Bonney might choose to remain in Elbaf with Vegapunk and Kuma until their laboratory is completed and any alterations made to Kuma are reversed. Consequently, it looks like Bonney may not be joining the Straw Hats on their journey.
One Piece Teases Bonney is Not the Next Straw Hat After All
Recently, the Egghead Arc unveiled a compelling backstory for Bonney, one that has left a significant impression on fans, perhaps even surpassing the emotional impact of Yamato’s storyline as it culminated in the Wano arc and her potential induction into the Straw Hat crew.
In a compelling twist, Bonney not only shares a heartbreaking past similar to many Straw Hat members, but also exhibits an extraordinary compatibility with Luffy. This bond is reminiscent of their youthful spirits, as both characters mirror each other’s innocence and wonder. This connection becomes even more evident when Bonney undergoes her Nika-inspired transformation. Recently, in the latest chapters, Bonney has been building friendships within the crew, particularly with Robin, who shares a strong bond with Bonney as depicted in Chapter 1132.
Due to Nami’s affection for young kids, it seems plausible that she would get along nicely with Bonney and perhaps act like a nurturing figure towards her. Although Nami might not contribute significant combat abilities or be essential to the ship as the other Straw Hats are, having Bonney join them as an apprentice could create intriguing comparisons to the Pirate King’s crew, reflecting how Roger accepted Shanks and Buggy.
From my perspective as an observer, Bonney’s skillful control over the Pacifista made her a highly strategic asset in potential future conflicts against the World Government, as some have speculated might occur during the Final Saga. However, Chapter 1134 seems to put a halt to any hopes of Bonney joining the Straw Hats. This is due to a compelling reason: Bonney and Kuma, who have been apart for years, have just reunited. It’s unlikely that Bonney would leave Kuma in Vegapunk’s care and embark on a sea voyage with Luffy right away, especially considering she has only recently found her idol, Nika.
The Straw Hats Likely Won’t Get Another New Member At All
Given that Bonney appears to no longer be a contender, it’s looking doubtful that the Straw Hats will acquire any new members during the Final Saga. This would make Jinbe the tenth and final member of their crew. The exact number of story arcs left in the final saga of One Piece is uncertain, but it seems improbable to introduce another potential crew member with a strong backstory linked to Luffy and an engaging connection for fans at this late stage in the series.
Absolutely, things aren’t definitive just now, and considering Eiichiro Oda’s knack for the unforeseen, there’s a slight possibility that Bonney might join the Straw Hat Pirates on their voyage to Laugh Tale. If Bonney chooses to remain in Elbaf, it’s unlikely this is her last appearance, and the same goes for Kuma. Given the depth at which Bonney’s devil fruit abilities have been developed, and the vast potential it offers, it seems probable that Bonney, similar to Yamato and Vivi, will significantly impact One Piece‘s concluding chapters, whether they officially join the Straw Hat Pirates or not.
