The captain of the Bonney Pirates and only female Supernova, Bonney has one of the more stereotypical views on what a pirate should be like in the series, which is a completely amoral person who destroys all in their way and looks out only for themselves. She has eaten the Age-Age Fruit (''Toshi Toshi no Mi'') that allows her to change her own age as well as others. She uses it as a disguise on herself and makes her opponents either too young or too old to fight her. Interestingly, the clothes of the Marines she changes into children don't change to fit their smaller forms while her clothes do, implying that skintight {{Stripperific}} outfit is so her clothes always fit her when she transforms. Other than that, she has also demonstrated a powerful kick to Blackbeard's face that was enough to make him bleed, suggesting a good amount of physical strength (a common trait for the strongest of the One Piece world).\\\
She's a very rude and unpleasant woman with a [[BigEater monstrous appetite]] and holds deep grudges for people who irritate her. As a captain, she shows conflicting displays of competence. She saves herself, her crew, Zoro, and the entire Sabaody archipelago (initially, at least) by immediately restraining Zoro when he's about to kill a World Noble, which would have certainly caused nothing short of a Marine-issued Buster Call. However, she has been shown to cause time delays for her crew with her binge eating, even staying at a restaurant to eat for a while despite knowing that [[PersonOfMassDestruction Admiral Kizaru]] was coming.\\\
Bonney is hit especially hard by the events of Marineford, and unfortunately becomes caught up in their aftermath. However, two years later, she has somehow gotten out of that hairy situation, but is now apparently on her own, fending for herself and trying to hide. Eventually, her travels take her to an infiltration mission of the holy land of Mariejois, where she is mortified to find an old friend in a deplorable state.\\\
She has a bounty of 320,000,000 berries.[[note]]Her first known bounty is 140,000,000 berries. During the Post-Wano arc, her bounty rose to 320,000,000.[[/note]]

However, [[spoiler:Saturn reveals to her that this is dependant on both her young age giving her hundreds of possible futures and Bonney's own naiveté about what she can and cannot do.

* AnimalMotifs: According to the SBS, Bonney's motif is the deer. Bonney is swift and agile, and while Bonney is a fighter unlike how deer are commonly portrayed, her ability allows her to take on the appearance of someone much more harmless like a child or an old woman. [[spoiler:Deer are also symbols of innocence and in Christianity, of Christ himself, and Bonney is the daughter of Bartholomew Kuma, a character with numerous Christian motifs who has chosen to sacrifice his life and dignity for others. Furthermore, as a young child with the ability to assume an adult form, she's actually a lot more innocent and naive than she appears]]
* ArcHero: Alongside Vegapunk, she is the Straw Hat's main ally during Egghead.
* AwfulTruth: Zigzagged. Vegapunk has a very good reason for trying to keep Bonney away from Kuma's memories. Not only was Kuma's life just a long line of horrible tragedy after horrible tragedy, his past reveals to her that [[spoiler:she is a ChildByRape who, throughout her childhood, was secretly dying from the same terminal illness that took the life of her mother, the woman her father loved. A disease that, to save her from, caused her father to submit himself to the authority of the organization he had been fighting his ''entire life'' in order to make sure she was cured. And she's finding this out as a ''twelve year old child''. On the other hand Bonney looking through Kuma's memories also allows her to see how much he loved her, including all of the letters he sent her that Alpha stopped her from reading]].
* BabyOfTheBunch: The Eleven Supernovas all range from their late teens to their forties. [[spoiler:Bonney achieved her bounty and reached the Red Line when she's '''ten''! Kuma's flashback shows that she mastered her powers and became a pirate at the age of nine.]]
* BadassAdorable: She's a lively [[spoiler:10-12 year old]] girl with an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit and is among the "Worst Generation" of pirates that have shaken the world.
* BalloonBelly: She lives up to her name of "Glutton" in Egghead when [[spoiler:she stuffs herself to the brim with food alongside Luffy and Chopper]], which makes her fat for a few panels afterwards...she's also the third woman in the franchise that this trope happens to and the first to ever have this effect after overeating actually in the manga to boot.
* BigEater: As her title "Glutton" indicates, she ''loves'' eating. In her first appearance she voraciously devours an entire feast all by herself, making so much noise she annoys Bege nearby. And whenever shown with her crew, they usually have some food on hand for her to snack on. After the timeskip, she's on her own and is often shown stealing food. [[spoiler:Her mother, Ginny, was likewise fond of eating, due to her past as an underfed slave]].
* BrattyHalfPint: [[spoiler:She inherited Ginny's gung-ho attitude and would pick fights with other kids when she was younger and with Gyogyo when he came to visit. The trait is still prevalent at twelve years old... in her adult body by the present day.]]
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:The crass and selfish pirate of the present is a far cry from the sweet little girl from Kuma's flashbacks. Her father disappearing has done lasting damage on the poor girl. And things go FromBadToWorse for her during the Egghead arc.]]
* BrokenTears: She cries out of sadness at the end of Kuma's backstory, [[spoiler:after she absorbed his memories and finally found out the extent of her father's love and the [[HeroicSacrifice ultimate sacrifice he made in order to save her life]].]]
* TheBusCameBack: After the Paramount War, she's captured by Blackbeard and then by Akainu, but makes some sporadic appearances after the time-skip on various islands and later at Mariejois during the Reverie. However, she later re-enters the main story as a GuestStarPartyMember of the Straw Hats during the Egghead arc.
* CheerfulChild: [[spoiler:She is especially cheerful and happy when she is around Kuma. Even her mysterious disease and her being confined because of it doesn't seem to bring her spirits down. [[BreakTheCutie And then the world decides to tear all that apart]].]]
* ChekhovsGunman: After the Paramount War, it's implied that Jewelry Bonney has some kind of importance to the World Government as Admiral Akainu admits that he got scared when he found out that she escaped them. This plot point doesn't come up again until the Egghead arc--nearly [[LongRunner 500 chapters and over a decade of serialization]] later.
* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:Heavily implied. Ginny, her mother, was forced in marriage to a Celestial Dragon, and Bonney was born two years after that. Given how Celestial Dragons [[SexSlave tend to treat their wives]], it's highly unlikely any contact with him was consensual.]]
* CloseRangeCombatant: Her Devil Fruit generally necessitates having to touch her opponent, and she's more than strong enough to trade punches and kicks if need be. Using [[SuperMode Distorted Future]] is a whole other story.
* ColorMotif: Her pink hair is the most obvious use of pink/magenta, but her Devil Fruit also emits a pink aura when she uses it, as does the "jewelry" that spawns.
* ConnectedAllAlong: Turns out Bonney knows [[spoiler:Bartholomew Kuma from way back when he was a king in the South Blue -- not only that, he is actually her (adoptive) ''father''.]]
* CuteBruiser: She's not afraid to scrap if need be, all while rocking it with her bubblegum-pink hair, makeup, and form-fitting attire.
* DaddysGirl: [[spoiler: She's nothing but furious by Kuma's sorry state at the hands of the World Government, stops Luffy in the Egghead arc from hurting a Pacifista in Kuma's likeness with tears in her eyes. Flashbacks show Kuma really was a wonderful father who gave her a happy childhood, and since Bonney is actually [[YoungerThanHeLooks a 12-year old child]], she's understandably very attached to the only positive parental figure she's ever known.]]
* DefiantCaptive: When Blackbeard had her in his clutches, she remained as aggressive and unyielding as ever, rejecting Blackbeard's [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe offer to become his woman]] just as violently as you'd expect from her.
* DivingSave: Zoro dodges the World Noble's gunshot, but Bonney saves him ''from attacking the World Noble'' by diving onto him and stopping his attack. This only delays the onslaught as Admiral Kizaru arrives anyway, after Luffy later punches that same guy.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: After being confined and abused by [[BattleaxeNurse Alpha]] for so long, when the latter catches up to her during her escape, she uses "Distorted Future" to give herself the "Nika-Like" power to enlarge her fist similar to Luffy's Gear Three, caving Alpha's face in]].
* FashionableAsymmetry: She has a piercing below her right eye. [[spoiler:It's in the exact same area where her Sapphire Scales once were. She deliberately places it there, so that Kuma recognizes her when she meets him, since the "Jewelry" on her face is now gone.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Her connection to [[spoiler:Kuma]] is hinted at certain points:
*** During the Paramount War, Bonney cries after the feedback was cut. While it's implied to be about Whitebeard's death, it's actually [[spoiler:because she saw the Pacifistas that all resemble her father Kuma.]]
*** After the War, she proclaims "it's all his fault" and sets sail to the New World. It seems she's going after Blackbeard for revenge against Whitebeard, [[spoiler:but it turns out she really meant Vegapunk, the man who modified her father into an emotionless cyborg, and wants him to pay.]]
** There are multiple hints to [[spoiler:her true age]] throughout her appearances:
*** At the start of the Egghead arc, Bonney is in her child form after having been dropped in the ocean from her ship being destroyed by Egghead's defences. [[spoiler: Since the ocean temporarily negated her Devil Fruit, she reverted back to her actual age and appearance]].
*** Some characters refer to her as "just a little girl" or similar when they meet or mention her. While it's easy to dismiss as simply because they are at least 30 years older than her, [[spoiler:it's actually because she's 12 years old during the Egghead arc]].
*** Sanji's [[ChivalrousPervert usual antics]] are ''massively'' toned down with her, showing none of his usual pervertedness (as well as the lack of heart eyes) and being much more protective instead, whereas he is his usual self towards Stussy and Lilith. [[spoiler:Having him lust after an explicitely pre-teen girl]] was probably not something Oda wanted.
*** She has a tendency to refer to [[spoiler:Kuma in a very childish way, such as stopping Luffy attacking a Pacificia and begging him not to hurt her "daddy". The usage gets more context when it becomes clear she's much younger emotionally and mentally than her Devil Fruit makes her seem]].
* FountainOfYouth: One of the abilities granted by her Devil Fruit is to make everyone, herself included, younger. It's only temporary, however, as her powers do not last forever on living things. She uses it to disguise herself as a child or turn enemies into helpless babies. [[spoiler:However, every time she becomes a child, she's actually assuming her true age and height.]]
* FriendlyEnemy: Despite ''technically'' being the Straw Hats' enemy, she actually gets along very well with the crew during the Egghead arc. [[spoiler:There's also the fact that Luffy is the incarnation of the same mythological Nika figure that Kuma would regale her with tales of during her younger years]].
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:Kuma might not be her father by blood, but Bonney thinks the world of him and had a very happy childhood with him. Kuma went to great lengths to cure her Sapphire Scales and was more than happy to sacrifice his own free will and mind in exchange for her treatment. Most of all, the last time he saw her as himself, he told her he was happy she was born, which shows that he felt no contempt for her being a ChildByRape, but simply loved her as Ginny's daughter, regarding her as the best thing to have ever happened to him in his long, tragic life.]]
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Being able to manipulate age doesn't ''sound'' like a particularly powerful ability, especially as it doesn't indefinitely affect living things. However, her power isn't so much "aging" things as it is making things take on forms that they either did exist as in the past or could exist as in the future. Which is to say, she can make anything--living or nonliving--take on the form of ''any possible future version of itself''.
* HiddenDepths: Beneath the rude, gluttonous and perpetually belligerent woman the world sees is [[spoiler:a young girl who is horribly distraught over [[FateWorseThanDeath the terrible fate]] that befell her father and is desperate for some kind of closure over his death]].
* HolyBurnsEvil: Alluded to; because of her Sapphire Scales illness that forced her to remain indoors, she was believed to be a vampire by local kids, one of whom threatens her with a cross on that grounds. Naturally, it doesn't work.
* HulkingOut: Using her "Distorted Future" ability, she's able to turn her physical form into [[FutureBadass a muscular older version of herself]].
* HumanizingTears:
** For someone with such a rude personality, she is the only one of the Supernovas who breaks down in tears after the Paramount War, [[spoiler:crying at the news of Kuma being turned into a cyborg]].
** She cries when she sees how horribly abused [[spoiler:Kuma]] has been, but these tears are fueled by ''anger'' more than grief and sadness.
* INeverGotAnyLetters: [[spoiler:While traveling the world, Kuma sent an enormous amount of letters to Bonney. Sadly, none of them reached their destination, since they were intercepted and destroyed by [[BattleaxeNurse Alpha]], Bonney's "caretaker". However, Bonney later looks through Kuma's memories, meaning that she watches him write out each of the letters that never made it to her]].
* IdenticalStranger: When she ages herself into [[spoiler: an old woman, she becomes identical to Connie, the Queen Dowager of the Sorbet Kingdom, to the point that several characters mistake one for the other multiple times. This is thanks to her devil fruit powers, which allow her to change herself into any potential future version of herself there is, such as one where she grows up into an old woman who resembles Connie. This ability eventually allows her to switch places with Connie and escape the World Government's clutches in order to become a pirate]].
* IgnoranceIsBliss: Played with, but subverted. [[spoiler:Kuma refused to let Bonney find out anything about what he was going through on her behalf, obviously because he didn't want Bonney to blame herself for his death. Unbeknownst to Kuma, however, none of his letters ever reached her. From Bonney's perspective, her father completely disappeared and lost all contact with her, prompting her to set out to sea to reunite with him. While she's (completely understandably) [[BrokenTears destroyed]] upon seeing the depths of Kuma's horrible life, Bonney is able to smile the next day, making it clear that finding out Kuma's side of the story was able to give her the closure that she was so desperately looking for]].
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Part of her power is fueled by her imagination, and she can use her Distorted Future ability to give herself new abilities as long as she can imagine them. Since the world of ''One Piece'' has all sorts of nonsensical things in it, virtually nothing Bonney can imagine is beyond the realm of possibility. This ranges from the mundane like giving herself bodybuilder-like proportions, to supernatural feats like [[spoiler:a "Nika-like future" where she can enlarge and stretch her fist like Luffy can, based on her dad's stories of Nika]].
* ImprobableAge: [[spoiler:She's revealed in Egghead to be ''12''. This means she started pirating and managed to obtain a bounty of 140,000,000 beri at the age of ten!]].
* IntergenerationalFriendship: [[spoiler:Despite or perhaps because she was an [[AllTheOtherReindeer outcast]] amongst her peers, every meaningful friendship she's ever had has been with people who are significantly older than her, be it Queen Dowager Connie, Vegapunk, or even Luffy. Chopper is likely the youngest friend she's ever had and even he's a good 5 years older than her.]]
* JabbaTableManners: True to her RedBaron name, Bonney shovels food down her throat and has a bad attitude to match her poor manners, much to Capone Bege's chagrin.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While she's letting her anger get the better of her, she's well within the right to be so pissed off at [[spoiler:Vegapunk for what he did to her father, especially since he failed to see that Bonney would be out for blood after witnessing Kuma suffer badly from the slave abuse by the World Nobles during her brief visit to Mary Geoise]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Bonney can be rude and a bit of a jerk at times, Bonney really is a good person at her core. This is probably best seen by the creed she and her crew live by.
-->''"Here are the ironclad laws of piratey behavior! Steal whatever you want! (From bad guys,) Don't help other people! (Unless they need it.)"''
* TheLadette: Bonney is rude, aggressive, vulgar, and an exceptionally voracious eater. [[spoiler:When she meets the Straw Hats at Egghead, she the first people she hits things off with are Luffy and Chopper]].
* LikeParentLikeChild: [[spoiler:Her scrappy attitude and huge appetite are traits she inherited from her mother, which Kuma quickly points out.]]
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: [[spoiler:She is the daughter of Bartholomew Kuma, who is an exceptionally reserved, calm, and stoic man. Bonney, on the other hand, is aggressive, rude, loud, and generally belligerent. Subverted because they aren’t blood related, but thankfully played straighter with [[HateSink the kind of being]] her blood-father is [[ChildByRape heavily implied]] to be.]]
* LoveMakesYouDumb: A familial example; [[spoiler:she loves her father Kuma very much and is very emotional around a Pacifista that resembles him. To that end she kicks Luffy, refusing to let him harm it in spite of the fact she knows that's not her father. Had Luffy not intervened when he did, she would have been seriously hurt if not killed by the Pacifista. To be fair, she's actually only 12 years old, and thus as impulsive and emotion-driven as one]].
* MadeOfIron: Despite having a Paramecia Devil Fruit, Bonney has a large degree of durability. [[spoiler:She takes a direct kick from Admiral Kizaru, which flies her into the Frontier Dome on Egghead at ''max strength'' and is able to continue fighting without much trouble.]]
* MagicPants: Subverted; Most Devil Fruits allow users' clothes to stretch and shrink as they transform (Luffy changing gears and Chopper shifting forms as common examples). Bonney's power meanwhile doesn't affect clothing, so she wears skimpy clothing to make sure that it will always fit her.
* TheMagicTouch: To use her Devil Fruit, Bonney either needs to touch the target herself or imbue her power into an object like a bullet.
* MakeoverFail: The distinct way she wears lipstick in a completely unconventional way, drawing a small kiss-mark around her lips is because [[spoiler: she wants to appear as an adult woman, but she makes the mistake of getting makeup directions from Gyogyo [[TheBlindLeadingTheBlind who clearly doesn’t have the slightest idea how to properly put lipstick on]].]]
* MakeThemRot: On Egghead, Bonney destroys a lock by aging it so far that it's become nothing but dust. Her NDE ("Near-Death Experience") technique allows her to do this on a person; however, the experience, though extremely traumatizing, is non-lethal because her powers do not last indefinitely on living things, causing them to snap back from the moment of death instantly.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Kuma used to call the Sapphire Scales formed on her face "Jewelry" in order to make the poor sick girl feel better, originating her last name.]]
* MoodSwinger: She can go from cursing somebody out in anger to crying about the cruelty of the world to cooly manipulating a situation in a matter of moments.
* MsFanservice: She's a curvaceous lady whose body gets shown off a lot. She dresses skimpy on a normal day but especially so in Egghead where Bonney's no longer wearing pants and her outfit leaves her entire legs exposed.
* MysteriousPast: Bonney is perhaps the most enigmatic of the Supernovas; it's heavily implied post-Marineford that she's somehow important to the World Government and it's indicated during the Reverie that she has an unclear but definitely extant connection to Bartholomew Kuma. When she [[TheBusCameBack comes back into the story]] during the Egghead arc, her past and relationship with Kuma become less ambiguous.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Bonney's name was taken from the 18th century Irish woman [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Bonny Anne Bonny,]] a noble turned pirate who operated in the Caribbean.
* NecessaryDrawback: What keeps the Age-Age Fruit from being overpowered is that any effects on living targets are temporary, meaning Bonney can't permanently incapacitate, or kill for that matter, whoever she affects. This can be seen when she ages a Marine to the point of death, only for it to immediately reverse (granted leaving the marine extremely traumatized). It also makes any buffs she grants with Distortion Future only last for that fight.
* NeverGetsFat: She eats like crazy and she still retains her slim figure! She even proves capable of the same BalloonBelly effect as Luffy and Chopper when they binge out on a massive stash of food at Egghead, and swiftly returns to her slim appearance panels afterwards.
* INeverGotAnyLetters: A familial varation. [[spoiler: When Kuma became a warlord for the World Government, he wrote letters to Bonney every day, to show her that he cared about her, even though he was away. [[BattleaxeNurse Alpha]] however wouldn't allow Kuma to have even that sort of contact with his daughter. It's never explained if Alpha did this of her own volition or was under orders of the World Government]].
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler:The last time Bonney had any form of contact with her father, he promised her that he'd only gone for a year or so but would send her lots of letters and would take her to all the places they talked about as soon as he got back. Bonney was completely kept in the dark about everything her father was going through, made all the more tragic by the fact that Alpha made sure to destroy every single one of Kuma's letters before they could reach Bonney. Witnessing a roboticized Kuma during the Paramount War was the first time she had seen or heard from him in years. It's '''really''' not hard to see why the poor girl was so hell-bent on getting revenge on Vegapunk]].
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: One day when running around exercising in [[spoiler:Kuma's church whilst trying to prepare herself for a hard life at sea, Bonney just suddenly showcased her aging abilities, accidentally turning into her adult self when thinking about the kind of strong adult she wanted to grow into. Despite not having obviously eaten a Devil Fruit, the powers came in handy for her escape from Alpha, the CP8 agent being unaware Bonney had abilities and Connie having intentionally concealed this from the Government [[ProperlyParanoid just in case]]. Her "Distorted Future" ability also gives Bonney new and different abilities based on her needs as she imagines a Future self who possesses the skills or techniques required]].
* NoSell: As a child, Bonney is believed to be a vampire because of her illness that causes her to react poorly to sunlight. When another child tries to threaten her with a cross on the grounds that HolyBurnsEvil, it doesn't affect her in the slightest, which she points out... along with the fact that they should know this, because she's living in a '''church'''.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: While Bonney isn't a vampire, from early childhood [[spoiler:the Sapphire Scales disease that she inherited from Ginny forced her to [[WeakenedByTheLight remain indoors and out of all forms of natural light]], sunlight ''or'' moonlight, in order to avoid aggravating her condition]]. This led to her gaining the moniker of "Vampire" by the local kids.
* OvernightAgeUp: One of the abilities granted by her Devil Fruit is to age up in seconds anyone she touches. Her NDE (Near Death Experience) bullet is much more extreme, since it ages the target until they turn into a ''rotting skeleton''. The transformation lasts only an instant, and doesn't kill the target or cause physical harm; but the experience is deeply traumatic.
* PersonalityPowers: Bonney has the power to change the age of objects and people at will. [[spoiler:This directly relates to how she was forced to prematurely "grow up" and act as an adult at the age of ten. Tragically, this is a [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3968319/#:~:text=This%20landmark%20study%20suggests%20that,trauma%20%5B13%2C%20136%5D known effect]] of real-life childhood trauma where children who had gone through traumatic experiences undergo accelerated mental development]].
* PirateGirl: Bonney looks more like a traditional female pirate and is named after a famous real life pirate woman.
* ReallySeventeenYearsOld: [[spoiler:She hides her real age to evade capture by the World Government, hiding behind the appearance of an attractive young woman. In truth, she's only twelve]].
* TheReveal:
** She knows Bartholomew Kuma and what he was like as a king before the World Government changed him into a Pacifista. [[spoiler:It is later revealed that she doesn't just know Kuma, but that she is his daughter.]]
** [[spoiler:She's actually ''10/12 years-old'', meaning her adult appearance is just a form she chooses to assume.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:Bonney is bent on getting revenge on Vegapunk for what he did to her father. To that end, dead-set on either forcing Vegapunk to restore Kuma to normal or killing him in revenge. Despite her initial anger, she lets Vegapunk off the hook once she discovers that Kuma left his memories behind with the scientist before he died. However, these memories then make her transfer her grudge to ''Saint Saturn'' instead, whom is ''much'' less tolerant of her attempts to avenge her father]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Admiral Kizaru comes knocking at Sabaody, she understands that it's no use to fight him and flees.
* SearchingForTheLostRelative: [[spoiler: The reason she became a pirate was to search, find and reconnect with Kuma, her father. She does eventually find him, but [[DeathOfPersonality he is no longer the loving father she used to know]].]]
* SentimentalHomemadeToy: [[spoiler: She draws a cute picture of Kuma's face. Kuma takes her painting and uses it as his Jolly Roger.]]
* ShaggyDogStory: She manages to escape the purge in Sabaody only to be [[spoiler:defeated by Blackbeard and end up chained in front of Akainu, instead of entering the New World right away. However, she has escaped once more and reached Mariejois.]]
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Bonney doesn't seem to care being shirtless in front of Luffy, Chopper and Jimbei.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Bonney can be any age she chooses, but spends most of her time as a young adult. [[spoiler:When she's rescued from sea by the Straw Hats, she's reverted to her true age, revealing her to be only 12.]]
* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: Whether it's her own or her victims', her Devil Fruit powers don't affect clothes, unlike most other Fruits. Hence her {{Stripperific}} outfit, which lets her wear them whenever she assumes a younger form.
* SignatureHeadgear: She wears a very distinct green Furażerka hat with green-white lining [[spoiler: it was handed over to her by Connie in order to impersonate her, when she escaped the prison the World Government put her in]].
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Bonney is the only female Supernova.
* StealthExpert: Bonney escaped government custody at least twice, despite them being particularly concerned about the possibility of her roaming free, and her Devil Fruit allows her to change her age, making her difficult to recognize. During her sporadic appearances after the time-skip, Bonney is often shown aged back to a child. Not only that, but she infiltrates Mariejois by herself, ''in the middle of Reverie'' by taking the identity of the ''Queen Dowager of Sorbet Kingdom''.
* StoryBreakerPower:
** Bonney's Devil Fruit is extremely powerful as she just needs to touch someone once to temporarily turn them into an infant or a geriatric. That's almost assuredly the end of the fight. It has also been shown to make her one of the best infiltrators in the ''One Piece'' world, on par with Shilew, Bentham, and Rocinante, as she can just freely shift her age and thereby appearance and slip away, and if someone does somehow wise up, she can simply ageshift them and leave them helpless. She's also shown to be able to imbue her Near Death Experience into bullets to use it on enemies at a distance, putting them into a state of shock which can oftentimes knock them out.
** Although her aging powers are only temporary on living things, they're permanent on any inanimate objects, meaning that she can destroy any object around her by aging until it becomes dust.
** The real kicker though is her "Distorted Future" ability. Whenever she ages herself up, she doesn't merely "get older", she's tapping into a possible future. Because the future has near-infinite possibilities [[spoiler:for a young child]], Bonney can effectively age herself into whatever future she can think of, not just an older version of her current self. [[spoiler:This includes '''giving herself a different devil fruit power''', and acquiring a degree of [[InstantExpert expertise]] with said power as she's retroactively spent years mastering it. In contrast to Luffy's "blowing air into my thumb" workaround to use Gear Three, Bonney tapping into "a Nika-Like future" has her inflate her arm instantly, similar to Gear Five. This means she can instantly age herself into any version of herself that [[SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat has the skills or powers needed for her situation]]]]. Suddenly, it makes a lot more sense that [[spoiler:a 12-year old child]] could become a Supernova with this power.
* {{Stripperific}}: {{Justified|Trope}} in that because her ability doesn't provide MagicPants whenever she changes her age, she needs something that will be able to fit her at every age and size, including that of a child.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Bonney's adult form bears a very strong resemblance to [[spoiler:her deceased mother, Ginny. To the point that when she used it for the first time after eating her devil fruit, her father Kuma and his and Ginny's two closest friends outright mistook her for her mother at first]].
* SuperMode: Distorted Future allows Bonney to age herself into a potential future version of herself, and it's seemingly only limited by her ability to imagine herself that way. This naturally gives her a huge power boost over her normal self, as she can make herself extremely strong in a pinch. [[spoiler:She can even give herself ''[[VariantPowerCopying other Devil Fruit powers]]'', so long as she can imagine their effects.]]
* SwissArmySuperpower: The Age-Age Fruit is incredibly versatile thanks to the broad ability to age things; Bonney can incapacitate or empower herself and others at will, especially by tapping into "possible futures" for substantial power boosts; destroy or restore objects with a touch, disguise herself as a child or senior, and MindRape enemies by replicating a near-death experience.
* TastesLikeFriendship: [[spoiler:She quickly starts hitting it off with Luffy and Chopper [[BigEater when the three of them stuff their faces together]].]]
* ThereIsNoCure: [[spoiler:At her birth, Bonney contracts the "Sapphire Scales" disease that her mother originally had. Kuma is informed that there is no cure, and that [[YourDaysAreNumbered she will be dead by the time she is ten]]. However, Kuma manages to cure her by making a DealWithTheDevil with the World Government in order to use a revolutionary new stem cell cure on her, in exchange for him being the progenitor of their [[CloneArmy Pacifistas]].]]
* ThisIsUnforgivable:
** When Akainu and the Marines capture her, she tells them that she can't forgive what they did. The Egghead Arc expands on her conversation with Akainu, and reveals that [[spoiler:she is enraged by her adoptive father Kuma losing his free will and becoming the World Government's mindless slave]].
** At the Reverie, Bonney is angered upon seeing Kuma's sorry state as a slave and she [[spoiler:goes to Egghead to get her revenge on Vegapunk for having done this to Kuma, who is revealed to be her father.]]
* TwinSwitch: [[spoiler: She ages herself up to look like Queen Dowager Connie and switches clothes with her in order to slip through the World Goverment's security and reach her escape ship. Connie stays behind and wears Bonney's clothes to look like her, but sadly she looks nothing like a young Bonney and [[BattleaxeNurse Alpha]] is quick to see through the switch]].
* TimeMaster: Bonney has the power to control the age of objects and people, but because the "future" state of the universe is not set in stone, she can make things turn into any possible future version of itself. As such, it seems her power is less affecting ''physical'' age and more some form of time manipulation. This is referenced by the specific word used in her fruit, as it can alternately be read as 'Year-Year Fruit.'
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She seems to especially like pizza, often being seen eating it, and the SBS for Volume 81 confirmed her favorite food is pizza margherita. [[spoiler: This takes a deep significance when, during Kuma's flashback, you see that the two most significant moments in her life, getting cured while spending some final time with Kuma and Connie organising her escape, involved her eating pizza]].
* UnexplainedRecovery: Despite being arrested at the end of the Post War Arc, she somehow escaped from Marine Headquarters, being seen two years later in two episodes during the Dressrosa Arc, both times eating pizza and reading a newspaper in some cold and snowy location.
* VagueAge: According to Oda, her age of 24 is merely an estimation. Thanks to her powers, no one is really sure just what age Bonney is. [[spoiler:Given the fact that her father is in his late 40s, it's likely an accurate estimate.]] During the Egghead arc [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's actually twelve (ten prior to the timeskip)]].
* VariantPowerCopying: [[spoiler:Her "Distorted Future" technique allows her to age herself to an infinite number of possible future forms; this grants her the potential to use ''other'' Devil Fruit abilities, provided she can imagine what it's like. Using Kuma's description of the Sun God Nika as a basis, a young Bonney imagines a "Nika-Like Future" and is able to duplicate the Gum-Gum Fruit's RubberMan abilities, striking Alpha with a smaller version of Luffy's Gear Three technique.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Everything revealed about her in the Egghead Arc can make discussion about her difficult due to sheer volume of info and how it recontextualizes Bonney.
* WomanChild: Bonney often acts like a spoiled brat, being rude, venal, crass, and wildly emotional. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed that she's actually ten/twelve years old, meaning she acts ''appropriately'' for her age.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For all her toughness, Bonney is deathly afraid of bugs; seeing a beetle is enough to make her foam at the mouth in shock, and [[spoiler:when her laser sword attracts an entire swarm, she curls herself in fear]].
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Appears to be in her early twenties most of the time, including in her very first appearance, but in truth [[spoiler:she's only twelve years old]].
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Bonney is bent on finding answers as to why Vegapunk turned her father Kuma into a mindless husk, and killing him if she doesn't like what she hears. Once she discovers that Kuma used his Devil Fruit to remove his own memories prior to his death, Bonney stops hounding Vegapunk. After learning of how awful her father's life truly was, Bonney redirects her anger onto Saint Saturn. Unlike with Vegapunk, however, Bonney's anger here is ''entirely'' justified]].
* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler:Kuma is informed by her doctor that she will die by the time she is ten. Having eavesdropped on her conversation she thinks that she is going to get cured by the time she is ten and Kuma is too heartbroken and shocked to correct her. She is cured by Doctor Vegapunk after Kuma makes a DealWithTheDevil with the World Government in order to use a revolutionary procedure on her in exchange for becoming the progenitor of the Pacifista clone army. After six months of treatment, she is deemed cured, though she still has to stay out of sunlight for another year of rehabilitation afterward.]]

[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jewelry_bonney_anime.png]]
The captain of the Bonney Pirates and only female Supernova, Bonney has one of the more stereotypical views on what a pirate should be like in the series, which is a completely amoral person who destroys all in their way and looks out only for themselves. She has eaten the Age-Age Fruit (''Toshi Toshi no Mi'') that allows her to change her own age as well as others. She uses it as a disguise on herself and makes her opponents either too young or too old to fight her. Interestingly, the clothes of the Marines she changes into children don't change to fit their smaller forms while her clothes do, implying that skintight {{Stripperific}} outfit is so her clothes always fit her when she transforms. Other than that, she has also demonstrated a powerful kick to Blackbeard's face that was enough to make him bleed, suggesting a good amount of physical strength (a common trait for the strongest of the One Piece world).\\\
She's a very rude and unpleasant woman with a [[BigEater monstrous appetite]] and holds deep grudges for people who irritate her. As a captain, she shows conflicting displays of competence. She saves herself, her crew, Zoro, and the entire Sabaody archipelago (initially, at least) by immediately restraining Zoro when he's about to kill a World Noble, which would have certainly caused nothing short of a Marine-issued Buster Call. However, she has been shown to cause time delays for her crew with her binge eating, even staying at a restaurant to eat for a while despite knowing that [[PersonOfMassDestruction Admiral Kizaru]] was coming.\\\
Bonney is hit especially hard by the events of Marineford, and unfortunately becomes caught up in their aftermath. However, two years later, she has somehow gotten out of that hairy situation, but is now apparently on her own, fending for herself and trying to hide. Eventually, her travels take her to an infiltration mission of the holy land of Mariejois, where she is mortified to find an old friend in a deplorable state.\\\
She has a bounty of 320,000,000 berries.[[note]]Her first known bounty is 140,000,000 berries. During the Post-Wano arc, her bounty rose to 320,000,000.[[/note]]
----
* AbsurdPhobia: She can kick Blackbeard upside the face, debilitate entire divisions of marines, and [[spoiler:run a sword through one of the Five Elder Stars]]. And yet, she's afraid of small bugs.
* ActionGirl: While her combat abilities gets little showing, Bonney is a very able fighter, especially thanks to her Devil Fruit power, which allows her to turn an opponent into an inoffensive baby or old man by simply touching it.
* AlliterativeFamily: Downplayed, but [[spoiler:she and her mother's name are both phonetically similar: Bo'''nney'''/Gi'''nny'''.]]
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Blackbeard would normally have just turned her over to the Navy, saying she's too weak to be part of his crew but that she can still escape with her life if she accepts to become his wife. Expectedly, she answered with a kick to his face. [[spoiler:Blackbeard being presumably unaware of Bonney's actual age at the time]].
* AnimalMotifs: According to the SBS, Bonney's motif is the deer. Bonney is swift and agile, and while Bonney is a fighter unlike how deer are commonly portrayed, her ability allows her to take on the appearance of someone much more harmless like a child or an old woman. [[spoiler:Deer are also symbols of innocence and in Christianity, of Christ himself, and Bonney is the daughter of Bartholomew Kuma, a character with numerous Christian motifs who has chosen to sacrifice his life and dignity for others. Furthermore, as a young child with the ability to assume an adult form, she's actually a lot more innocent and naive than she appears]]
* ArcHero: Alongside Vegapunk, she is the Straw Hat's main ally during Egghead.
* AwfulTruth: Zigzagged. Vegapunk has a very good reason for trying to keep Bonney away from Kuma's memories. Not only was Kuma's life just a long line of horrible tragedy after horrible tragedy, his past reveals to her that [[spoiler:she is a ChildByRape who, throughout her childhood, was secretly dying from the same terminal illness that took the life of her mother, the woman her father loved. A disease that, to save her from, caused her father to submit himself to the authority of the organization he had been fighting his ''entire life'' in order to make sure she was cured. And she's finding this out as a ''twelve year old child''. On the other hand Bonney looking through Kuma's memories also allows her to see how much he loved her, including all of the letters he sent her that Alpha stopped her from reading]].
* BabyOfTheBunch: The Eleven Supernovas all range from their late teens to their forties. [[spoiler:Bonney achieved her bounty and reached the Red Line when she's '''ten''! Kuma's flashback shows that she mastered her powers and became a pirate at the age of nine.]]
* BadassAdorable: She's a lively [[spoiler:10-12 year old]] girl with an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit and is among the "Worst Generation" of pirates that have shaken the world.
* BalloonBelly: She lives up to her name of "Glutton" in Egghead when [[spoiler:she stuffs herself to the brim with food alongside Luffy and Chopper]], which makes her fat for a few panels afterwards...she's also the third woman in the franchise that this trope happens to and the first to ever have this effect after overeating actually in the manga to boot.
* BigEater: As her title "Glutton" indicates, she ''loves'' eating. In her first appearance she voraciously devours an entire feast all by herself, making so much noise she annoys Bege nearby. And whenever shown with her crew, they usually have some food on hand for her to snack on. After the timeskip, she's on her own and is often shown stealing food. [[spoiler:Her mother, Ginny, was likewise fond of eating, due to her past as an underfed slave]].
* BrattyHalfPint: [[spoiler:She inherited Ginny's gung-ho attitude and would pick fights with other kids when she was younger and with Gyogyo when he came to visit. The trait is still prevalent at twelve years old... in her adult body by the present day.]]
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:The crass and selfish pirate of the present is a far cry from the sweet little girl from Kuma's flashbacks. Her father disappearing has done lasting damage on the poor girl. And things go FromBadToWorse for her during the Egghead arc.]]
* BrokenTears: She cries out of sadness at the end of Kuma's backstory, [[spoiler:after she absorbed his memories and finally found out the extent of her father's love and the [[HeroicSacrifice ultimate sacrifice he made in order to save her life]].]]
* TheBusCameBack: After the Paramount War, she's captured by Blackbeard and then by Akainu, but makes some sporadic appearances after the time-skip on various islands and later at Mariejois during the Reverie. However, she later re-enters the main story as a GuestStarPartyMember of the Straw Hats during the Egghead arc.
* CheerfulChild: [[spoiler:She is especially cheerful and happy when she is around Kuma. Even her mysterious disease and her being confined because of it doesn't seem to bring her spirits down. [[BreakTheCutie And then the world decides to tear all that apart]].]]
* ChekhovsGunman: After the Paramount War, it's implied that Jewelry Bonney has some kind of importance to the World Government as Admiral Akainu admits that he got scared when he found out that she escaped them. This plot point doesn't come up again until the Egghead arc--nearly [[LongRunner 500 chapters and over a decade of serialization]] later.
* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:Heavily implied. Ginny, her mother, was forced in marriage to a Celestial Dragon, and Bonney was born two years after that. Given how Celestial Dragons [[SexSlave tend to treat their wives]], it's highly unlikely any contact with him was consensual.]]
* CloseRangeCombatant: Her Devil Fruit generally necessitates having to touch her opponent, and she's more than strong enough to trade punches and kicks if need be. Using [[SuperMode Distorted Future]] is a whole other story.
* ColorMotif: Her pink hair is the most obvious use of pink/magenta, but her Devil Fruit also emits a pink aura when she uses it, as does the "jewelry" that spawns.
* ConnectedAllAlong: Turns out Bonney knows [[spoiler:Bartholomew Kuma from way back when he was a king in the South Blue -- not only that, he is actually her (adoptive) ''father''.]]
* CuteBruiser: She's not afraid to scrap if need be, all while rocking it with her bubblegum-pink hair, makeup, and form-fitting attire.
* DaddysGirl: [[spoiler: She's nothing but furious by Kuma's sorry state at the hands of the World Government, stops Luffy in the Egghead arc from hurting a Pacifista in Kuma's likeness with tears in her eyes. Flashbacks show Kuma really was a wonderful father who gave her a happy childhood, and since Bonney is actually [[YoungerThanHeLooks a 12-year old child]], she's understandably very attached to the only positive parental figure she's ever known.]]
* DefiantCaptive: When Blackbeard had her in his clutches, she remained as aggressive and unyielding as ever, rejecting Blackbeard's [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe offer to become his woman]] just as violently as you'd expect from her.
* DivingSave: Zoro dodges the World Noble's gunshot, but Bonney saves him ''from attacking the World Noble'' by diving onto him and stopping his attack. This only delays the onslaught as Admiral Kizaru arrives anyway, after Luffy later punches that same guy.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: After being confined and abused by [[BattleaxeNurse Alpha]] for so long, when the latter catches up to her during her escape, she uses "Distorted Future" to give herself the "Nika-Like" power to enlarge her fist similar to Luffy's Gear Three, caving Alpha's face in]].
* FashionableAsymmetry: She has a piercing below her right eye. [[spoiler:It's in the exact same area where her Sapphire Scales once were. She deliberately places it there, so that Kuma recognizes her when she meets him, since the "Jewelry" on her face is now gone.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Her connection to [[spoiler:Kuma]] is hinted at certain points:
*** During the Paramount War, Bonney cries after the feedback was cut. While it's implied to be about Whitebeard's death, it's actually [[spoiler:because she saw the Pacifistas that all resemble her father Kuma.]]
*** After the War, she proclaims "it's all his fault" and sets sail to the New World. It seems she's going after Blackbeard for revenge against Whitebeard, [[spoiler:but it turns out she really meant Vegapunk, the man who modified her father into an emotionless cyborg, and wants him to pay.]]
** There are multiple hints to [[spoiler:her true age]] throughout her appearances:
*** At the start of the Egghead arc, Bonney is in her child form after having been dropped in the ocean from her ship being destroyed by Egghead's defences. [[spoiler: Since the ocean temporarily negated her Devil Fruit, she reverted back to her actual age and appearance]].
*** Some characters refer to her as "just a little girl" or similar when they meet or mention her. While it's easy to dismiss as simply because they are at least 30 years older than her, [[spoiler:it's actually because she's 12 years old during the Egghead arc]].
*** Sanji's [[ChivalrousPervert usual antics]] are ''massively'' toned down with her, showing none of his usual pervertedness (as well as the lack of heart eyes) and being much more protective instead, whereas he is his usual self towards Stussy and Lilith. [[spoiler:Having him lust after an explicitely pre-teen girl]] was probably not something Oda wanted.
*** She has a tendency to refer to [[spoiler:Kuma in a very childish way, such as stopping Luffy attacking a Pacificia and begging him not to hurt her "daddy". The usage gets more context when it becomes clear she's much younger emotionally and mentally than her Devil Fruit makes her seem]].
* FountainOfYouth: One of the abilities granted by her Devil Fruit is to make everyone, herself included, younger. It's only temporary, however, as her powers do not last forever on living things. She uses it to disguise herself as a child or turn enemies into helpless babies. [[spoiler:However, every time she becomes a child, she's actually assuming her true age and height.]]
* FriendlyEnemy: Despite ''technically'' being the Straw Hats' enemy, she actually gets along very well with the crew during the Egghead arc. [[spoiler:There's also the fact that Luffy is the incarnation of the same mythological Nika figure that Kuma would regale her with tales of during her younger years]].
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:Kuma might not be her father by blood, but Bonney thinks the world of him and had a very happy childhood with him. Kuma went to great lengths to cure her Sapphire Scales and was more than happy to sacrifice his own free will and mind in exchange for her treatment. Most of all, the last time he saw her as himself, he told her he was happy she was born, which shows that he felt no contempt for her being a ChildByRape, but simply loved her as Ginny's daughter, regarding her as the best thing to have ever happened to him in his long, tragic life.]]
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Being able to manipulate age doesn't ''sound'' like a particularly powerful ability, especially as it doesn't indefinitely affect living things. However, her power isn't so much "aging" things as it is making things take on forms that they either did exist as in the past or could exist as in the future. Which is to say, she can make anything--living or nonliving--take on the form of ''any possible future version of itself''.
* HiddenDepths: Beneath the rude, gluttonous and perpetually belligerent woman the world sees is [[spoiler:a young girl who is horribly distraught over [[FateWorseThanDeath the terrible fate]] that befell her father and is desperate for some kind of closure over his death]].
* HolyBurnsEvil: Alluded to; because of her Sapphire Scales illness that forced her to remain indoors, she was believed to be a vampire by local kids, one of whom threatens her with a cross on that grounds. Naturally, it doesn't work.
* HulkingOut: Using her "Distorted Future" ability, she's able to turn her physical form into [[FutureBadass a muscular older version of herself]].
* HumanizingTears:
** For someone with such a rude personality, she is the only one of the Supernovas who breaks down in tears after the Paramount War, [[spoiler:crying at the news of Kuma being turned into a cyborg]].
** She cries when she sees how horribly abused [[spoiler:Kuma]] has been, but these tears are fueled by ''anger'' more than grief and sadness.
* INeverGotAnyLetters: [[spoiler:While traveling the world, Kuma sent an enormous amount of letters to Bonney. Sadly, none of them reached their destination, since they were intercepted and destroyed by [[BattleaxeNurse Alpha]], Bonney's "caretaker". However, Bonney later looks through Kuma's memories, meaning that she watches him write out each of the letters that never made it to her]].
* IdenticalStranger: When she ages herself into [[spoiler: an old woman, she becomes identical to Connie, the Queen Dowager of the Sorbet Kingdom, to the point that several characters mistake one for the other multiple times. This is thanks to her devil fruit powers, which allow her to change herself into any potential future version of herself there is, such as one where she grows up into an old woman who resembles Connie. This ability eventually allows her to switch places with Connie and escape the World Government's clutches in order to become a pirate]].
* IgnoranceIsBliss: Played with, but subverted. [[spoiler:Kuma refused to let Bonney find out anything about what he was going through on her behalf, obviously because he didn't want Bonney to blame herself for his death. Unbeknownst to Kuma, however, none of his letters ever reached her. From Bonney's perspective, her father completely disappeared and lost all contact with her, prompting her to set out to sea to reunite with him. While she's (completely understandably) [[BrokenTears destroyed]] upon seeing the depths of Kuma's horrible life, Bonney is able to smile the next day, making it clear that finding out Kuma's side of the story was able to give her the closure that she was so desperately looking for]].
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Part of her power is fueled by her imagination, and she can use her Distorted Future ability to give herself new abilities as long as she can imagine them. Since the world of ''One Piece'' has all sorts of nonsensical things in it, virtually nothing Bonney can imagine is beyond the realm of possibility. This ranges from the mundane like giving herself bodybuilder-like proportions, to supernatural feats like [[spoiler:a "Nika-like future" where she can enlarge and stretch her fist like Luffy can, based on her dad's stories of Nika]].
* ImprobableAge: [[spoiler:She's revealed in Egghead to be ''12''. This means she started pirating and managed to obtain a bounty of 140,000,000 beri at the age of ten!]].
* IntergenerationalFriendship: [[spoiler:Despite or perhaps because she was an [[AllTheOtherReindeer outcast]] amongst her peers, every meaningful friendship she's ever had has been with people who are significantly older than her, be it Queen Dowager Connie, Vegapunk, or even Luffy. Chopper is likely the youngest friend she's ever had and even he's a good 5 years older than her.]]
* JabbaTableManners: True to her RedBaron name, Bonney shovels food down her throat and has a bad attitude to match her poor manners, much to Capone Bege's chagrin.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While she's letting her anger get the better of her, she's well within the right to be so pissed off at [[spoiler:Vegapunk for what he did to her father, especially since he failed to see that Bonney would be out for blood after witnessing Kuma suffer badly from the slave abuse by the World Nobles during her brief visit to Mary Geoise]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Bonney can be rude and a bit of a jerk at times, Bonney really is a good person at her core. This is probably best seen by the creed she and her crew live by.
-->''"Here are the ironclad laws of piratey behavior! Steal whatever you want! (From bad guys,) Don't help other people! (Unless they need it.)"''
* TheLadette: Bonney is rude, aggressive, vulgar, and an exceptionally voracious eater. [[spoiler:When she meets the Straw Hats at Egghead, she the first people she hits things off with are Luffy and Chopper]].
* LikeParentLikeChild: [[spoiler:Her scrappy attitude and huge appetite are traits she inherited from her mother, which Kuma quickly points out.]]
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: [[spoiler:She is the daughter of Bartholomew Kuma, who is an exceptionally reserved, calm, and stoic man. Bonney, on the other hand, is aggressive, rude, loud, and generally belligerent. Subverted because they aren’t blood related, but thankfully played straighter with [[HateSink the kind of being]] her blood-father is [[ChildByRape heavily implied]] to be.]]
* LoveMakesYouDumb: A familial example; [[spoiler:she loves her father Kuma very much and is very emotional around a Pacifista that resembles him. To that end she kicks Luffy, refusing to let him harm it in spite of the fact she knows that's not her father. Had Luffy not intervened when he did, she would have been seriously hurt if not killed by the Pacifista. To be fair, she's actually only 12 years old, and thus as impulsive and emotion-driven as one]].
* MadeOfIron: Despite having a Paramecia Devil Fruit, Bonney has a large degree of durability. [[spoiler:She takes a direct kick from Admiral Kizaru, which flies her into the Frontier Dome on Egghead at ''max strength'' and is able to continue fighting without much trouble.]]
* MagicPants: Subverted; Most Devil Fruits allow users' clothes to stretch and shrink as they transform (Luffy changing gears and Chopper shifting forms as common examples). Bonney's power meanwhile doesn't affect clothing, so she wears skimpy clothing to make sure that it will always fit her.
* TheMagicTouch: To use her Devil Fruit, Bonney either needs to touch the target herself or imbue her power into an object like a bullet.
* MakeoverFail: The distinct way she wears lipstick in a completely unconventional way, drawing a small kiss-mark around her lips is because [[spoiler: she wants to appear as an adult woman, but she makes the mistake of getting makeup directions from Gyogyo [[TheBlindLeadingTheBlind who clearly doesn’t have the slightest idea how to properly put lipstick on]].]]
* MakeThemRot: On Egghead, Bonney destroys a lock by aging it so far that it's become nothing but dust. Her NDE ("Near-Death Experience") technique allows her to do this on a person; however, the experience, though extremely traumatizing, is non-lethal because her powers do not last indefinitely on living things, causing them to snap back from the moment of death instantly.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Kuma used to call the Sapphire Scales formed on her face "Jewelry" in order to make the poor sick girl feel better, originating her last name.]]
* MoodSwinger: She can go from cursing somebody out in anger to crying about the cruelty of the world to cooly manipulating a situation in a matter of moments.
* MsFanservice: She's a curvaceous lady whose body gets shown off a lot. She dresses skimpy on a normal day but especially so in Egghead where Bonney's no longer wearing pants and her outfit leaves her entire legs exposed.
* MysteriousPast: Bonney is perhaps the most enigmatic of the Supernovas; it's heavily implied post-Marineford that she's somehow important to the World Government and it's indicated during the Reverie that she has an unclear but definitely extant connection to Bartholomew Kuma. When she [[TheBusCameBack comes back into the story]] during the Egghead arc, her past and relationship with Kuma become less ambiguous.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Bonney's name was taken from the 18th century Irish woman [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Bonny Anne Bonny,]] a noble turned pirate who operated in the Caribbean.
* NecessaryDrawback: What keeps the Age-Age Fruit from being overpowered is that any effects on living targets are temporary, meaning Bonney can't permanently incapacitate, or kill for that matter, whoever she affects. This can be seen when she ages a Marine to the point of death, only for it to immediately reverse (granted leaving the marine extremely traumatized). It also makes any buffs she grants with Distortion Future only last for that fight.
* NeverGetsFat: She eats like crazy and she still retains her slim figure! She even proves capable of the same BalloonBelly effect as Luffy and Chopper when they binge out on a massive stash of food at Egghead, and swiftly returns to her slim appearance panels afterwards.
* INeverGotAnyLetters: A familial varation. [[spoiler: When Kuma became a warlord for the World Government, he wrote letters to Bonney every day, to show her that he cared about her, even though he was away. [[BattleaxeNurse Alpha]] however wouldn't allow Kuma to have even that sort of contact with his daughter. It's never explained if Alpha did this of her own volition or was under orders of the World Government]].
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler:The last time Bonney had any form of contact with her father, he promised her that he'd only gone for a year or so but would send her lots of letters and would take her to all the places they talked about as soon as he got back. Bonney was completely kept in the dark about everything her father was going through, made all the more tragic by the fact that Alpha made sure to destroy every single one of Kuma's letters before they could reach Bonney. Witnessing a roboticized Kuma during the Paramount War was the first time she had seen or heard from him in years. It's '''really''' not hard to see why the poor girl was so hell-bent on getting revenge on Vegapunk]].
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: One day when running around exercising in [[spoiler:Kuma's church whilst trying to prepare herself for a hard life at sea, Bonney just suddenly showcased her aging abilities, accidentally turning into her adult self when thinking about the kind of strong adult she wanted to grow into. Despite not having obviously eaten a Devil Fruit, the powers came in handy for her escape from Alpha, the CP8 agent being unaware Bonney had abilities and Connie having intentionally concealed this from the Government [[ProperlyParanoid just in case]]. Her "Distorted Future" ability also gives Bonney new and different abilities based on her needs as she imagines a Future self who possesses the skills or techniques required]].
* NoSell: As a child, Bonney is believed to be a vampire because of her illness that causes her to react poorly to sunlight. When another child tries to threaten her with a cross on the grounds that HolyBurnsEvil, it doesn't affect her in the slightest, which she points out... along with the fact that they should know this, because she's living in a '''church'''.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: While Bonney isn't a vampire, from early childhood [[spoiler:the Sapphire Scales disease that she inherited from Ginny forced her to [[WeakenedByTheLight remain indoors and out of all forms of natural light]], sunlight ''or'' moonlight, in order to avoid aggravating her condition]]. This led to her gaining the moniker of "Vampire" by the local kids.
* OvernightAgeUp: One of the abilities granted by her Devil Fruit is to age up in seconds anyone she touches. Her NDE (Near Death Experience) bullet is much more extreme, since it ages the target until they turn into a ''rotting skeleton''. The transformation lasts only an instant, and doesn't kill the target or cause physical harm; but the experience is deeply traumatic.
* PersonalityPowers: Bonney has the power to change the age of objects and people at will. [[spoiler:This directly relates to how she was forced to prematurely "grow up" and act as an adult at the age of ten. Tragically, this is a [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3968319/#:~:text=This%20landmark%20study%20suggests%20that,trauma%20%5B13%2C%20136%5D known effect]] of real-life childhood trauma where children who had gone through traumatic experiences undergo accelerated mental development]].
* PirateGirl: Bonney looks more like a traditional female pirate and is named after a famous real life pirate woman.
* ReallySeventeenYearsOld: [[spoiler:She hides her real age to evade capture by the World Government, hiding behind the appearance of an attractive young woman. In truth, she's only twelve]].
* TheReveal:
** She knows Bartholomew Kuma and what he was like as a king before the World Government changed him into a Pacifista. [[spoiler:It is later revealed that she doesn't just know Kuma, but that she is his daughter.]]
** [[spoiler:She's actually ''10/12 years-old'', meaning her adult appearance is just a form she chooses to assume.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:Bonney is bent on getting revenge on Vegapunk for what he did to her father. To that end, dead-set on either forcing Vegapunk to restore Kuma to normal or killing him in revenge. Despite her initial anger, she lets Vegapunk off the hook once she discovers that Kuma left his memories behind with the scientist before he died. However, these memories then make her transfer her grudge to ''Saint Saturn'' instead, whom is ''much'' less tolerant of her attempts to avenge her father]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Admiral Kizaru comes knocking at Sabaody, she understands that it's no use to fight him and flees.
* SearchingForTheLostRelative: [[spoiler: The reason she became a pirate was to search, find and reconnect with Kuma, her father. She does eventually find him, but [[DeathOfPersonality he is no longer the loving father she used to know]].]]
* SentimentalHomemadeToy: [[spoiler: She draws a cute picture of Kuma's face. Kuma takes her painting and uses it as his Jolly Roger.]]
* ShaggyDogStory: She manages to escape the purge in Sabaody only to be [[spoiler:defeated by Blackbeard and end up chained in front of Akainu, instead of entering the New World right away. However, she has escaped once more and reached Mariejois.]]
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Bonney doesn't seem to care being shirtless in front of Luffy, Chopper and Jimbei.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Bonney can be any age she chooses, but spends most of her time as a young adult. [[spoiler:When she's rescued from sea by the Straw Hats, she's reverted to her true age, revealing her to be only 12.]]
* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: Whether it's her own or her victims', her Devil Fruit powers don't affect clothes, unlike most other Fruits. Hence her {{Stripperific}} outfit, which lets her wear them whenever she assumes a younger form.
* SignatureHeadgear: She wears a very distinct green Furażerka hat with green-white lining [[spoiler: it was handed over to her by Connie in order to impersonate her, when she escaped the prison the World Government put her in]].
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Bonney is the only female Supernova.
* StealthExpert: Bonney escaped government custody at least twice, despite them being particularly concerned about the possibility of her roaming free, and her Devil Fruit allows her to change her age, making her difficult to recognize. During her sporadic appearances after the time-skip, Bonney is often shown aged back to a child. Not only that, but she infiltrates Mariejois by herself, ''in the middle of Reverie'' by taking the identity of the ''Queen Dowager of Sorbet Kingdom''.
* StoryBreakerPower:
** Bonney's Devil Fruit is extremely powerful as she just needs to touch someone once to temporarily turn them into an infant or a geriatric. That's almost assuredly the end of the fight. It has also been shown to make her one of the best infiltrators in the ''One Piece'' world, on par with Shilew, Bentham, and Rocinante, as she can just freely shift her age and thereby appearance and slip away, and if someone does somehow wise up, she can simply ageshift them and leave them helpless. She's also shown to be able to imbue her Near Death Experience into bullets to use it on enemies at a distance, putting them into a state of shock which can oftentimes knock them out.
** Although her aging powers are only temporary on living things, they're permanent on any inanimate objects, meaning that she can destroy any object around her by aging until it becomes dust.
** The real kicker though is her "Distorted Future" ability. Whenever she ages herself up, she doesn't merely "get older", she's tapping into a possible future. Because the future has near-infinite possibilities [[spoiler:for a young child]], Bonney can effectively age herself into whatever future she can think of, not just an older version of her current self. [[spoiler:This includes '''giving herself a different devil fruit power''', and acquiring a degree of [[InstantExpert expertise]] with said power as she's retroactively spent years mastering it. In contrast to Luffy's "blowing air into my thumb" workaround to use Gear Three, Bonney tapping into "a Nika-Like future" has her inflate her arm instantly, similar to Gear Five. This means she can instantly age herself into any version of herself that [[SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat has the skills or powers needed for her situation]]]]. Suddenly, it makes a lot more sense that [[spoiler:a 12-year old child]] could become a Supernova with this power.
* {{Stripperific}}: {{Justified|Trope}} in that because her ability doesn't provide MagicPants whenever she changes her age, she needs something that will be able to fit her at every age and size, including that of a child.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Bonney's adult form bears a very strong resemblance to [[spoiler:her deceased mother, Ginny. To the point that when she used it for the first time after eating her devil fruit, her father Kuma and his and Ginny's two closest friends outright mistook her for her mother at first]].
* SuperMode: Distorted Future allows Bonney to age herself into a potential future version of herself, and it's seemingly only limited by her ability to imagine herself that way. This naturally gives her a huge power boost over her normal self, as she can make herself extremely strong in a pinch. [[spoiler:She can even give herself ''[[VariantPowerCopying other Devil Fruit powers]]'', so long as she can imagine their effects.]]
* SwissArmySuperpower: The Age-Age Fruit is incredibly versatile thanks to the broad ability to age things; Bonney can incapacitate or empower herself and others at will, especially by tapping into "possible futures" for substantial power boosts; destroy or restore objects with a touch, disguise herself as a child or senior, and MindRape enemies by replicating a near-death experience.
* TastesLikeFriendship: [[spoiler:She quickly starts hitting it off with Luffy and Chopper [[BigEater when the three of them stuff their faces together]].]]
* ThereIsNoCure: [[spoiler:At her birth, Bonney contracts the "Sapphire Scales" disease that her mother originally had. Kuma is informed that there is no cure, and that [[YourDaysAreNumbered she will be dead by the time she is ten]]. However, Kuma manages to cure her by making a DealWithTheDevil with the World Government in order to use a revolutionary new stem cell cure on her, in exchange for him being the progenitor of their [[CloneArmy Pacifistas]].]]
* ThisIsUnforgivable:
** When Akainu and the Marines capture her, she tells them that she can't forgive what they did. The Egghead Arc expands on her conversation with Akainu, and reveals that [[spoiler:she is enraged by her adoptive father Kuma losing his free will and becoming the World Government's mindless slave]].
** At the Reverie, Bonney is angered upon seeing Kuma's sorry state as a slave and she [[spoiler:goes to Egghead to get her revenge on Vegapunk for having done this to Kuma, who is revealed to be her father.]]
* TwinSwitch: [[spoiler: She ages herself up to look like Queen Dowager Connie and switches clothes with her in order to slip through the World Goverment's security and reach her escape ship. Connie stays behind and wears Bonney's clothes to look like her, but sadly she looks nothing like a young Bonney and [[BattleaxeNurse Alpha]] is quick to see through the switch]].
* TimeMaster: Bonney has the power to control the age of objects and people, but because the "future" state of the universe is not set in stone, she can make things turn into any possible future version of itself. As such, it seems her power is less affecting ''physical'' age and more some form of time manipulation. This is referenced by the specific word used in her fruit, as it can alternately be read as 'Year-Year Fruit.'
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She seems to especially like pizza, often being seen eating it, and the SBS for Volume 81 confirmed her favorite food is pizza margherita. [[spoiler: This takes a deep significance when, during Kuma's flashback, you see that the two most significant moments in her life, getting cured while spending some final time with Kuma and Connie organising her escape, involved her eating pizza]].
* UnexplainedRecovery: Despite being arrested at the end of the Post War Arc, she somehow escaped from Marine Headquarters, being seen two years later in two episodes during the Dressrosa Arc, both times eating pizza and reading a newspaper in some cold and snowy location.
* VagueAge: According to Oda, her age of 24 is merely an estimation. Thanks to her powers, no one is really sure just what age Bonney is. [[spoiler:Given the fact that her father is in his late 40s, it's likely an accurate estimate.]] During the Egghead arc [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's actually twelve (ten prior to the timeskip)]].
* VariantPowerCopying: [[spoiler:Her "Distorted Future" technique allows her to age herself to an infinite number of possible future forms; this grants her the potential to use ''other'' Devil Fruit abilities, provided she can imagine what it's like. Using Kuma's description of the Sun God Nika as a basis, a young Bonney imagines a "Nika-Like Future" and is able to duplicate the Gum-Gum Fruit's RubberMan abilities, striking Alpha with a smaller version of Luffy's Gear Three technique.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Everything revealed about her in the Egghead Arc can make discussion about her difficult due to sheer volume of info and how it recontextualizes Bonney.
* WomanChild: Bonney often acts like a spoiled brat, being rude, venal, crass, and wildly emotional. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed that she's actually ten/twelve years old, meaning she acts ''appropriately'' for her age.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For all her toughness, Bonney is deathly afraid of bugs; seeing a beetle is enough to make her foam at the mouth in shock, and [[spoiler:when her laser sword attracts an entire swarm, she curls herself in fear]].
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Appears to be in her early twenties most of the time, including in her very first appearance, but in truth [[spoiler:she's only twelve years old]].
* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Bonney is bent on finding answers as to why Vegapunk turned her father Kuma into a mindless husk, and killing him if she doesn't like what she hears. Once she discovers that Kuma used his Devil Fruit to remove his own memories prior to his death, Bonney stops hounding Vegapunk. After learning of how awful her father's life truly was, Bonney redirects her anger onto Saint Saturn. Unlike with Vegapunk, however, Bonney's anger here is ''entirely'' justified]].
* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler:Kuma is informed by her doctor that she will die by the time she is ten. Having eavesdropped on her conversation she thinks that she is going to get cured by the time she is ten and Kuma is too heartbroken and shocked to correct her. She is cured by Doctor Vegapunk after Kuma makes a DealWithTheDevil with the World Government in order to use a revolutionary procedure on her in exchange for becoming the progenitor of the Pacifista clone army. After six months of treatment, she is deemed cured, though she still has to stay out of sunlight for another year of rehabilitation afterward.]]
