Fans of the anime and manga series One Piece are well aware that the SBS (Shitsumon o Boshū Suru) section is where creator Eiichiro Oda answers various questions and shares intriguing tidbits about the world of One Piece. This section serves as a platform for Oda to address fans’ queries and provide valuable insights about the characters and the overall narrative. Below, we delve into some fascinating revelations from SBS Chapter 107!
SBS Chapter 107 recently unveiled numerous interesting facts about the One Piece universe, so let’s explore them together!
Bonney’s Devil Fruit Secret
In SBS Chapter 107, the official name of Bonney’s Devil Fruit has been revealed as the Toshi Toshi no Mi, which translates to “Age-Age Fruit.” This Paramecia-type Devil Fruit allows Bonney to manipulate the age of herself and others with just a touch. She can change her own age and that of others, quickly aging them or reverting them to their youthful states.
When she was introduced during the Sabaody Archipelago arc, fans were captivated by her character. The ability to change Bonney’s age has been hinted to be quite impactful, especially in the recent Egghead arc.
Insights into the SWORD Organization and Its Secrets
Oda clarified the dynamics of the SWORD organization within the Marine Corps in SBS Chapter 107. Contrary to popular belief, all SWORD members still belong to the Marine Corps and can potentially rise through the ranks, even if their orders are not immediately accepted.
Oda also revealed a subplot involving the SWORD member Hibari and her feelings for Koby, who is depicted as a heroic figure from her past, saving her from a dangerous situation. The bear she saved is humorously named Koby-Senpai, reflecting her admiration for him.
Admiral Grus was also mentioned, portrayed as a young man with a unique relationship with his mother, who gifted him a long coat to protect him from harm.
Kujaku, one of the strongest members of SWORD, is noted for wielding a sword named Beethoven, suggesting a powerful synergy with Bonney’s Devil Fruit abilities.
Oda’s Artistic Inspirations
Oda shared the inspirations behind some of his characters. Pythagoras, one of the Vegapunk characters, has roots in a Japanese anime series called Ganbare RoboCon. Additionally, the character Jiron from the Revolutionary Army is inspired by Jiron Amos from the mecha anime Combat Mecha Xabungle.
Luffy’s Secret Treasure
Luffy’s secret treasure was also discussed. It is hinted that Caribou, who is still aboard the ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, may have knowledge about this treasure. However, Oda made it clear that Caribou is unaware of the specifics of Luffy’s ultimate goal. As it stands, only a select few—members of the Straw Hat crew, Sabo, Shanks, Rayleigh, and Yamato—are privy to Luffy’s final ambitions.
