Unveiling the Unforeseen Parallels Between Bonney's Past and Law's Tragic Origins

In One Piece chapter 1098, the fate of Ginny is unveiled, along with the true origins of Bonnie and the story of how Kuma became her guardian. The chapter also discloses Bonnie's real age, laying to rest the fan theories that had been circulating.

Furthermore, Chapter 1098 unveils the cause of Ginny's death as the Sapphire Scale disease, a previously unknown illness. While Bonnie's backstory may not be fully revealed at this point, it bears some resemblance to the heartbreaking past of Trafalgar D. Law, who also suffered from disease.

Chapter 1098 of One Piece delivers an astonishing revelation as Jewelry Bonney, shrouded in secrecy, emerges with a captivating past that unexpectedly mirrors the tragic beginnings of Trafalgar D. Water Law. Unveiling the truth, it is revealed that Bonney is actually the product of an unwilling union between a Celestial Dragon and Ginny.

The narrative of Bonney becomes even more sorrowful with the heart-wrenching circumstances that surround Ginny's fate. Ginny tragically succumbs to the rare and devastating Sapphire Scale disease, a lesser-known illness compared to the Amber Lead Syndrome that Law once suffered from during his childhood.

After Ginny's death, Bartholomew Kuma unexpectedly adopts Bonney, which parallels Law's own traumatic upbringing when he was taken in by Corazon. In an effort to save Law from his Amber Lead disease, Corazon gifted him with the Ope Ope devil fruit.

As the story progresses, it is revealed that Bonney also suffers from the Sapphire Scale disease and is destined to perish at the age of ten. This revelation mirrors Law's own battle with an incurable illness, the Amber Lead Syndrome, during his early years.

Law's story takes a dramatic turn when he is force-fed the Ope Ope no mi. This extraordinary event grants him the ability to perform miraculous surgeries and ultimately saves him from the previously thought incurable Amber Lead disease. Law's triumph over this illness highlights the incredible transformational abilities of the Ope Ope no Mi.

Unlike Law's Ope Ope no Mi, which enabled him to actively cure himself, Bonney's Devil Fruit is thought to have a distinctive mode of operation. There is speculation that her ability may bypass the requirement for a conventional remedy by effectively freezing her age at a certain point, thereby halting the progression of the Sapphire Scale disease.

Final thoughts

While the exact details of how Bonnie seemingly overcame the Sapphire Scale disease have not been disclosed, it is strongly implied that her devil fruit played a significant role in her recovery. There have been speculations regarding Bonnie's devil fruit granting her eternal youth, which could explain how it acted as a cure for the Sapphire Scale disease. However, the specific mechanisms and origins of her enigmatic devil fruit have yet to be fully explored. In Chapter 1099, there may be further revelations about Bonney's past, potentially providing insights into her remarkable healing.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I find the parallels between Bonney's past and Law's tragic origins to be both intriguing and thought-provoking. The revelation that Bonney is the product of an unwilling union between a Celestial Dragon and Ginny adds depth to her character and sheds light on the discrimination and prejudice that she may have faced.

The fact that both Bonney and Law have suffered from incurable diseases further emphasizes the hardships that they have had to overcome. It is interesting to see how their respective Devil Fruits have played a role in their recoveries, with Law's Ope Ope no Mi allowing him to actively cure himself and Bonney's unnamed Devil Fruit seemingly freezing her age and halting the progression of the Sapphire Scale disease.

Overall, I am excited to learn more about Bonney's past and how it will shape her character and motivations going forward.
