What is Bonney’s Joy Girl Transformation in One Piece Chapter 1118?
In the spoilers for One Piece chapter 1118, it was revealed that the chapter began with the Iron Giant sinking into the ocean as he questioned Joyboy about his whereabouts. Subsequently, the focus shifted to the Dressrosa Kingdom where the residents were in deep discussion about the sudden shutdown of Vegapunk’s message.
The chapter then returned to Egghead Island, as Vegapunk York briefed the Five Elders about the surviving Vegapunk satellites. Meanwhile, Saint Warcury was halting the progress of a giant ship towards Elbaf, while Luffy, Dorry, and Brogy boarded another vessel.
Despite being pursued by Marine captains, Bonney was able to evade capture by using her devil fruit powers to turn them into infants. She then allied herself with Luffy and his crew in their battle against Saint Marcus, who was approaching their vessel.
Luffy urged her to embrace her transformation into Nika, and she effortlessly assumed a JoyBoy-esque appearance, earning the moniker ‘Joy Girl.’ Ever since this revelation, the Bonney-Nika controversy has captivated the fandom.
Reactions to the Bonney-Nika Controversy from Fans
One part of the fandom was delighted with the new Nika form design for the female character. It was intriguing to observe how her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Luffy’s Gear 5, while also possessing its own unique elements. One fan eagerly anticipated her upcoming battle against Saint Marcus in the next chapter.
“ILLove her Design,”a fan said.
“Wohooo she looks so damn cool,”another fan said.
“Best egghead duo will cook next chapter,”another fan claimed.
Conversely, a portion of the fan base expressed dissatisfaction with the author’s portrayal of JoyBoy’s powers in the latest transformation of the female pirate. They felt that the ease with which JoyBoy’s powers were obtained undermined their significance, and they voiced their disapproval.
Despite there being no valid reason, a portion of the fan base expressed dislike towards the female pirate’s transformation, feeling that it was not in line with the character’s development. Ultimately, there were also fans who lost faith in the author, Eiichiro Oda, as a result of the female pirate’s Nika transformation.
“Joy Boy, then joy girl. What is next, Joy world?”a fan said.
“Idk why but I hate this,”another fan said.
“Don’t let oda cook again,”another fan said.
Concluding Remarks
The Bonney-Nika transformation has caused a lot of excitement within the fandom, despite the fact that her abilities in this form have not been revealed yet. It is intriguing to witness the extreme enthusiasm of a portion of the fanbase.
The Age-Age fruit, which is her devil fruit, is highly intriguing in the series due to her previous partial transformation into Nika. However, despite her current transformation being identical to Luffy’s, it is unlikely to possess the same abilities as his.
