The first spoilers for chapter 1098 of the manga One Piece have been released, revealing a series of emotional moments regarding the tragic backstory of Ginny and Bonney.
Below, let’s decode this intriguing chapter and discuss the hidden meanings behind the characters in relation to the ongoing storyline.
Chapter Title: “The Departure of Bonney”
The new chapter of the manga One Piece focuses on the character Bonney. The chapter titled “The Day Bonney Said Goodbye” hints at the importance of this character’s origin.
Ginny, the widow of the Celestial Dragon
Ginny had been abducted and forced into marriage with a Celestial Dragon, whose identity remains unclear. The concept of Celestial Dragons has been clearly established in One Piece and has sparked numerous debates, hinting that Ginny is a victim of a cruel and unjust system.
Due to Ginny’s abduction, the Revolutionary Army became more determined, and Kuma had to become even more vigilant.
Ginny was freed due to her illness
Two years after her abduction, Ginny was freed due to suffering from a rare disease known as “Sapphire Scale”. This illness caused the affected person to turn blue and become increasingly frail when exposed to natural light.
This terrible illness pushed Ginny to become more desperate, leading her to give birth to Bonney with the Celestial Dragon. During this time, Ginny returned to the Sorbet Kingdom, leaving her daughter with the elderly on the island.
This is clearly a turning point, not only influencing the current direction of the storyline but also adding another layer of complexity to Bonney’s journey.
Last contact with Kuma
Before her death, Ginny contacted Kuma from her home. The Revolutionary Army identified Ginny’s location, so Kuma moved to the Sorbet Kingdom immediately. However, it was too late, as Ginny had already passed away, leaving behind baby Bonney in her arms.
Guardian Kuma
After Ginny’s death, Kuma took on the responsibility of caring for and protecting Bonney like a father, along with the support of the elders in the village. Heartbroken, Bonney also suffered from the “Sapphire Scale” illness, similar to her mother. Kuma decided to leave the Revolutionary Army, dedicating all his time to caring for the young girl.
This detail is particularly captivating as it reveals more about Kuma’s character and his emotional depth. Until now, Bartholomew Kuma has always been surrounded by mystery, acting with profound meaning in the world of One Piece.
The return of the Sorbet Kingdom
At the end of the chapter, set five years prior to the current timeline, the Sorbet Kingdom – Bekori returns to the scene, revealing its citizens’ plight. Everyone turns to Kuma for help.
This detail could signal a struggle for power or a reorganization in the political landscape, further complicating the overarching narrative of One Piece.
