Since the Devil Fruits first appeared in the opening chapter of One Piece back in 1997, creator Eiichiro Oda has continually expanded the world with a wide variety of unique powers and classifications. For years, when it came to the Paramecia class, home to the strangest abilities, the Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor-Tremor Fruit) wielded by Whitebeard (now Blackbeard) was considered the ultimate destructive force.
However, as the story approaches its climax, Oda has paved the way for a new Paramecia Devil Fruit to claim the throne with limitless potential. This is Jewelry Bonney’s Toshi Toshi no Mi (Age-Age Fruit).
The true secret behind the “age” power
When she first appeared at the Sabaody Archipelago, Jewelry Bonney was assumed to be a mature and alluring woman. It wasn’t until the Egghead Island arc that Oda revealed the heartbreaking truth: Bonney is actually just a 12-year-old child. Despite her young age, she carries a bounty of 320 million berries thanks to her innate genius and an absurdly powerful Devil Fruit ability.
In chapter 1103, the Five Elders’ Saturn acknowledged that the Toshi Toshi no Mi’s power goes beyond simply increasing or decreasing age. It directly connects to future timelines, allowing Bonney to transform her body into any state from a future she believes could happen.
The stronger Bonney’s belief in a future, the higher the chance it becomes reality. If she doubts something’s existence, the power is useless. But if she fully trusts a vision, that future instantly materializes.
Even more terrifying, in chapter 1064, Bonney demonstrated that her “Distorted Future” technique can be applied not only to herself but also to others. She once transformed Luffy into a frail old man based on a grim future Oda hinted at in the SBS Q&A.
Why Bonney’s Age-Age Fruit officially surpasses the Tremor-Tremor Fruit
In terms of raw physical damage, Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit once made former Fleet Admiral Sengoku tremble and admit, “That man possesses the power to destroy the world!” But Bonney’s Toshi Toshi no Mi operates on a whole different level thanks to its unlimited “copying” potential.
In chapter 1118, Bonney achieved the impossible by imagining a future where she is completely free, transforming directly into the Sun God Nika (Luffy’s Gear 5) and delivering a powerful blow to one of the Five Elders. Previously, she also effortlessly transformed into a Buccaneer warrior.
Theoretically, if Bonney becomes aware of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, she could “borrow” its power by envisioning a future where she has eaten it. Even supreme divine beings in the One Piece world, like the Devil God Nerona Imu or the newly revealed gods of Rain (Zaza, chapter 1182), Forest, and Earth, could have their powers fully copied by Bonney.
A death sentence for enemies when Bonney’s Devil Fruit awakens
Bonney’s only current limitation is her age. At just 12, her stamina isn’t enough to maintain her ultimate forms for long. When she transformed into Nika, she quickly became exhausted after a brief moment.
However, as Bonney grows older, her body will develop and her stamina will increase, allowing her to sustain divine powers much longer. The most frightening prospect is her Devil Fruit awakening.
Former Yonko Kaido defined awakening as “the phenomenon when your mind and body synchronize with your Devil Fruit’s energy.”
For a genius like Bonney, awakening the Toshi Toshi no Mi is only a matter of time. Once she reaches this stage, she could surpass the Yonko’s level and stand alongside those who possess godlike Devil Fruits. Among Paramecia users, Bonney’s awakened power will undoubtedly place her at the very top, far beyond Whitebeard’s legendary legacy.
