One Piece Chapter 1098 confirms Bonney’s origins, and it’s something no one would’ve expected. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

One Piece’s Jewelry Bonney has been a topic of discussion among fans for quite a while now. She’s Kuma’s daughter and risked her life to save him from Marie Geoise. She even went to Egghead to look for Vegapunk and find answers about her father’s death.

Bonney’s origins have been more or less a mystery among One Piece fans. According to the countless theories circulating on the internet, many believe that she’s either still a kid or simply a clone.

Nonetheless, Eiichiro Oda is popular for doing the unexpected, and this time it’s no different. One Piece Chapter 1098 confirms Bonney’s origins, and it’s something no one would’ve expected.

What does One Piece Chapter 1098 reveal about Bonney’s origins?

One Piece Kuma and Bonney

One Piece Chapter 1098 reveals Bonney’s parents. The chapter confirms Ginny is indeed Bonney’s mother. After this character debuted in Kuma’s flashback – she was rumored to be either Luffy’s or Bonney’s mother based on their similar features.

However, now that the chapter has confirmed she gave birth to Bonney, it also reveals her father, and it’s not Kuma. The recent chapter revealed that an unexpected enemy kidnapped Ginny, who is now revealed to be a Celestial Dragon.

Ginny was forced to be with him for two years and was abandoned after contracting a fatal disease. She had baby Bonney in her arms when she died after contacting Kuma. Kuma teleported to her location, but she was already dead.

He saw Bonney there with the same illness and raised her. Bonney has been with Kuma since she was a baby, so it’s unclear whether she knows about her birth father. However, the hatred she feels towards Celestial Dragons is real. 

Whether or not Bonney being a World Noble means anything in the future, it’s clear that her origins are truly shocking. As the series confirms that Bonney has the blood of a World Noble running through her veins, we know that the Buccaneer race is likely extinct after Kuma’s death.
