Bonney (Ginny and Kuma’s Daughter)

Recently, Oda Sensei has been revealing details about Bonny. Fans had doubted that she might be linked with Kuma but weren’t sure. Thanks to the One Piece Manga 1098 chapter, all doubts were cleared. Kuma and Bonny shared a father-daughter-like relationship. Though the bond is not biological, it’s nothing less, either. In short, Bartholomew Kuma is her adoptive father. 

Ginny

Bonney’s mother, Ginny, shared a special and very good bond with Kuma. We are familiar with their journey and how they joined the Revolutionary Army from the previous chapters. Things were all doing well before Ginny’s downfall. Marriage to the World Noble flipped her life completely. After her abduction, the army troops stopped searching for her, and just like that, time passed. There are no deep details about her time with the Noble, but fans are clear that she had a terrible time there. 

How Ginny’s Abduction Affected Kuma?

Those who have read the chapter very well know how Ginny’s abduction and death affected Uma. Iva made it even more clear by claiming that he has changed since that day. Kuma’s worldview changed, and they started doing things differently. Overburdening himself because of the guilt, he, with time, became cold and tough. After two years, a new hope came when Ginny contacted the Army. Unfortunately, the hope was soon snatched to find his friend dead. Kuma was already feeling responsible; thus, he couldn’t say no to being a father figure to Bonney. Even after learning that Bonney is ill, he doesn’t lose hope and starts to look for a cure.
