Jewelry Bonney’s Devil Fruit has always been one of the more interesting Devil Fruit abilities ever since it was introduced in the anime. Bonney is a pirate captain and one of the Worst Generation Pirates in the One Piece verse. She’s infamously known as Jewelry Bonney “The Glutton” due to her eating habits and hunger being as bottomless as our protagonist Monkey D. Luffy’s. Her Devil Fruit is one of the most unique and interesting fruits around so let’s discuss what it can do and how it works.
Bonney’s Devil Fruit: the Toshi Toshi no Mi Explained
Bonney’s Devil Fruit is the Toshi Toshi no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to manipulate the age of anything, including herself and others. She can change her appearance from a young girl to an old woman, or vice versa, depending on the situation. She can also use her power to weaken her enemies by making them older or younger, affecting their physical and mental abilities. However, the effects of her Devil Fruit are not permanent and will wear off after some time.
Bonney can also transfer her power through weapons, such as swords or guns, to age objects or people at a distance. Bonney’s Devil Fruit is very useful for infiltration, deception, and combat, but it also has some drawbacks. For example, her power depends on her emotional state, and she can lose control of it if she is angry or sad. Also, she cannot change the age of someone who is already dead, as seen when she tried to revive her father Bartholomew Kuma, who was turned into a Pacifista by the World Government.
Recent manga chapters have also revealed that Bonney’s Devil Fruit grants her access to alternate timelines of herself based on her own knowledge and imagination. We see this in Egghead when she mimics the abilities of Sun God Nika or Joyboy when she imagines a timeline where instead of Luffy, she eats the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. The ability to mimic the powers and abilities of other Devil Fruits temporarily is mind-breaking- with some fans calling her fruit overpowered and currently one of the if not the strongest Devil Fruits in the One Piece verse.
