In One Piece’s Egghead Arc, which delves into the backstories of characters like Kuma and Jewelry Bonney, Chapter 1098 brought surprising revelations about Bonney’s age. Despite initial confusion and speculation, it is revealed that Bonney is actually only 12 years old.

Bonney’s age had been a topic of debate, as she was introduced in the Sabody Archipelago Arc alongside other members of the Worst Generation, where she appeared to be a woman in her early twenties. Author Eiichiro Oda mentioned in an SBS Corner that her age was estimated to be 22 years old. However, the interactions with other characters and Bonney’s devil fruit powers raised questions about her true age.

Bonney possesses the Toshi Toshi Fruit (Age-Age), allowing her to manipulate her and others’ ages at will. The revelation in Chapter 1098 confirms that Bonney has the ability to alter her appearance, making her look like an adult when, in fact, she is only 12 years old. A flashback in the chapter shows Bonney at the age of five, seven years before the events of the Egghead Arc, providing clarity on her actual age.
