ONE PIECE GOLDJewelrey Bonney is Big Mom’s daughter, not only does Bonney was probably the attractive version of Big Mom (LOL) but they also share the same appetite.
And maybe Bonney in a way, subconsciously shows her similarities with Big Mom, so she designed her ship similar to Cake Island.
Right now, Bonney is 24 years old and she was from South Blue, Gol D. Roger died 22 years ago, it is safe to assume that Big Mom had been an Emperor (or at least became a pirate) before or at the same time Gol D. Roger became the Pirate King.
Could Big Mom had Bonney that time and then left her in care of another family in South Blue to pursue piracy?
Here’s a timeline to make things clearer:
1. Charlotte Linlin, a pirate, had a child named Bonney in South Blue 24 years ago, in order to pursue piracy, she left Bonney, a baby, somewhere in South Blue where Bonney grew up as an orphan until she ended being adopted by a rich noble family of Jewelreys.
2. Meanwhile, around the time after Gol D. Roger’s death, Big Mom, who is now a top-tier pirate had another daughter while travelling. Lola (yes, Bonney is older than Lola, if I remember correctly, Lola is almost the same age as Nami.)
3. Lola who was born in the New World, became a pirate as well but she and her own crew got caught in what we know is the Thriller Bark.
4. Jewelrey Bonney decided to be a pirate (unknowingly taking after her mother) after she met Portgas D. Ace while he was on his hunt for Blackbeard, she had been a friend of Ace’s and took interest in him , along her journey, Jewelrey Bonney ate the Age-Age Fruit.
The reason why Bonney was crying at the time of Ace’s death, and it’s the reason why Bonney hates Blackbeard.
5. In her time of being a pirate, Jewelrey Bonney was caught by Akainu, where she was being hunted for the danger her abilities represent to the World Government.
Simply said, Jewelrey Bonney’s power is to “age” either people, herself or any other living things around nature (including islands) just by touching it, to be more clear, Bonney either “rewinds” or “forward” the lifespan.
The drawback though is, Bonney can only “age” something or someone very old or very young.
That’s what Akainu (and the Gorosei) were worried about, like Nico Robin and Franky being a major threat to World Government, Jewelrey Bonney had the potential to bring back the island of Ohara to existence (even though she had no intention of doing so), and though she can not revive a person, Bonney reviving the island might reveal some evidences of Ohara’s innocence which the Government feared. (and no, Bonney cannot revive the Ancient Kingdom because unlike Ohara, Ancient Kingdom sunk underwater.)
And another drawback is that she needs to keep on eating, because using her abilities means giving her energy on that person/object as well.
Akainu was wary of Bonney’s potential (remember that the Marine got a very good intelligence unit team), he personally came when he heard Bonney can be subjugated.
Blackbeard knows of her worth so he made Bonney a hostage that time, now that I mentioned about the “intelligence” of Marines, Blackbeard is pretty impressive to be that low-profile.
NOTE: Assuming that Ace hunted Blackbeard the same time Luffy started became a pirate, we can assume that Bonney left her town to follow Ace, the same time Luffy set sail, reason she was considered a rookie.
