Despite being known as "The Tyrant" of Sorbet Kingdom, Kuma is portrayed as a loving and nurturing father in Bonney's memories. However, Kuma made a decision to undergo body alterations by the renowned scientist Dr. Vegapunk, becoming a mindless cyborg enslaved to the World Government.

The motives behind Kuma's choice remain undisclosed. Witnessing her father's transformation, Bonney vowed to become a pirate with the sole purpose of seeking vengeance on Vegapunk, the individual accountable for these modifications.

As a member of the Worst Generation's Eleven Supernovas, Bonney gained notoriety as a rookie with a bounty of over 100 million Berries even before the Paramount War. Her entry into the New World further solidified her position. Renowned for her insatiable appetite and lack of proper table manners, she is affectionately referred to as the "Big Eater".

Using an unnamed Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, Bonney possesses the power to control the aging of both living and non-living objects that she touches directly. While a human target's mental abilities remain unaffected, their physical body will experience a rapid acceleration or deceleration in age, significantly impairing their combat skills.

Additionally, Bonney has the ability to utilize her Devil Fruit on herself, enabling her to assume different disguises. By manipulating alternate futures, she can also accelerate or decelerate the aging process in herself and others. This unique ability, known as "Distorted Future," produces varying effects on the target's body depending on the specific future outcome.

By transforming into a potential future self with a robust and powerful physique, Bonney amplifies her physical prowess. Additionally, she can morph into a childlike form, causing her adversaries to lower their defenses, only to swiftly strike as she metamorphoses into a remarkably older and more muscular rendition of herself.

With infinite potential future iterations, the Distorted Future technique provides Bonney with remarkable adaptability. Additionally, she can utilize the "Age Skewer" to imbue her Devil Fruit abilities into a staff-like weapon. By plunging it into a human, she can induce a rejuvenating process, ultimately transforming the target into a child.

While the effects of Bonney's age manipulation on living beings are only temporary, she possesses another technique known as "Aging Shock." This powerful move allows her to rapidly age a metallic object, causing it to corrode and eventually shatter.

After being captured by the Blackbeard Pirates, Bonney found herself in a precarious situation. The pirates offered her as a bargaining chip to the Marines, requesting a battleship in exchange for her release. However, instead of accepting the trade, the Navy decided to confront the notorious Blackbeard and his crew head-on. Seizing the opportunity, Teach and his men quickly retreated, abandoning Bonney and her fellow captives.

Relieved to have Bonney back under their control, the World Government wasted no time in escorting her to the Marine Headquarters. During her imprisonment, Bonney managed to orchestrate a daring escape and set out on a mission to find Vegapunk. Her objective was clear - she sought answers from him regarding his involvement with Kuma.

While making her way to Vegapunk's hideout, Bonney cleverly utilized her incredible Devil Fruit abilities to discreetly gain access to the highly esteemed Levely event. With an astute disguise as the queen of the Sorbet Kingdom, she successfully infiltrated Mary Geoise. Within the grand halls of the Pangaea Castle, a startling revelation awaited Bonney as she encountered Kuma, who had been transformed into a mechanical slave, obediently catering to the whims of the oppressive Celestial Dragons.

While en route to Egghead, Bonney found herself ensnared in a massive swirling vortex. Fortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates happened to be nearby, and Zoro skillfully sliced through the colossal water column using a flying slash technique, ensuring that Bonney remained unharmed.

In an attempt to save Bonney, Luffy made a grab for her but ended up unintentionally plunging himself and Chopper into the sea. Acting swiftly, Jinbe leaped into the water to rescue them, successfully guiding them away from the powerful current. Separated from the rest of their crew, Luffy, Jinbe, Chopper, and Bonney eventually arrived at Egghead where they explored the laboratory and had a chance encounter with Vegapunk.

Bonney confronted the scientist, accusing him of ruining her father's life, and pleaded for him to reverse the transformation. In response, Vegapunk regretfully clarified that he was unable to restore Kuma's original form, emphasizing that there was a valid justification for his actions.

Bonney eventually found herself in a room filled with Kuma's memories. Using Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit abilities, these memories were transformed into a massive bubble, similar to what happened with Luffy's pain in Thriller Bark. The purpose was to extract the pain and allow Zoro to challenge himself to overcome it.

With the intention of gaining a deeper understanding of her father, Bonney made the decision to explore his memories and stepped into the bubble. The next day, she was reunited with the Straw Hat Pirates and Vegapunk.

Why is Bonney rumored to be a child?

Despite her attempt to assist Luffy in his battle against Kizaru, the Admiral effortlessly evaded her attack and swiftly overwhelmed her. Thankfully, just as she was plummeting from the Labophase, Sentomaru came to her rescue and caught her mid-fall.

Upon discovering Bonney ensnared within the colossal water vortex, the Straw Hats were taken aback to see her appearance transformed into that of a young girl. Given the widely acknowledged susceptibility of Devil Fruit users and their unique abilities to the sea's debilitating effects, numerous enthusiasts of One Piece conjectured that Bonney too succumbed to this phenomenon during that momentous encounter.

Hence, it is believed that Bonney appeared in her true form as a child due to her inability to utilize her Devil Fruit powers in the presence of the sea. It is important to mention that Bonney exhibits childlike behavior, often displaying irritability and referring to her father as "daddy" in a manner reminiscent of a young child.

However, Bonney has also shown herself to be exceptionally clever, surpassing what one would expect from a child. She cleverly employed a strategy to prevent fellow Worst Generation Supernova Zoro from assassinating Saint Charlos, recognizing that any harm inflicted upon a Celestial Dragon would prompt the intervention of a Navy Admiral.

According to the SBS Q&A session, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, disclosed the age of the Worst Generation Supernovas, revealing that Bonney is currently 24 years old. However, in a unique twist, Oda mentioned that Bonney's age is not set in stone, as she possesses the ability to manipulate it through her Devil Fruit powers.

Indeed, Bonney's enigmatic accolade suggests that there is more to her than initially meets the eye. Additionally, the fact that knowledgeable characters in the One Piece universe, such as Saint Jaygarcia Saturn of the Five Elders and Marine Admiral Borsalino "Kizaru," have referred to her as a girl and a kid respectively, further supports the notion that she employs her Devil Fruit powers to conceal her true age.

Furthermore, Vegapunk himself has described her as a "poor little child" whom he must rescue at all costs. Considering these perspectives, it is highly plausible that Bonney is a youthful individual who utilizes her Devil Fruit abilities to assume the appearance of an adult woman.

There is a speculation among certain One Piece enthusiasts suggesting that Bonney may have perished in the past, and it is believed that Kuma sought the assistance of Vegapunk to craft an impeccable replica of her. In exchange for this favor, Kuma offered himself to be auctioned off to the World Government, ultimately undergoing a transformation into a cyborg by Vegapunk. This potential explanation sheds light on why the scientist didn't permit Bonney to glimpse her father's memories.

Bonney, unaware of the events unfolding, was ignorant of the fact that the Revolutionaries had successfully liberated Kuma from the oppressive Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise. Surprisingly, without any apparent motive, Kuma harnessed the extraordinary powers of his Paw-Paw Fruit, transporting himself to Red Port on the Red Line. Determined to progress towards Mary Geoise, Kuma's plans were abruptly thwarted by the formidable presence of Akainu, who effortlessly overwhelmed him. Despite his earlier status as a fearsome Warlord, Kuma had willingly subjected himself to becoming a captive of the World Government. (Image via Toei Animation, One Piece)

Kuma utilized the Paw-Paw Fruit to escape Akainu's deadly clutches, leaving his destination shrouded in mystery. Numerous One Piece enthusiasts speculate that he may be journeying towards Egghead, the location of his daughter.

Previously, after fulfilling his responsibilities as a warlord, Kuma arrived at Thriller Bark with the intent of capturing Luffy. However, when Zoro risked his own life to shield his captain, Kuma chose to withdraw. Later, Kuma encountered the Straw Hats once more in the Sabaody Archipelago, where he deployed his Devil Fruit powers to teleport them to separate destinations.

With Kuma's affiliation to the Straw Hat Pirates, the current scenario of being together with Bonney on Egghead further hints at his destination. Hopefully, Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, will shed light on Bonney's age by intricately exploring the interconnected storyline involving her, Kuma, and Vegapunk.
