@electricmastro I mean she’s got a different attitude than the other women on the crew, already has a bounty, doesn’t have her own crew that needs her anymore (I assume, when’s the last time we saw her with them) definitely has a sad backstory and could fill both the little sister and the grandma role

Also I want to see her reaction to Sanji’s cooking, and how she’ll treat him after

Being a rougher, different sort of woman is the sort of thing I was interested in with Yamato since she was pretty tomboyish. I suppose her interactions would help pass the time while I wait to check back on Yamato, since I presume Momo is being built up as her "Shanks figure" meant to be the catalyst for Yamato to sail out with greater purpose, before Caribou's contact goes after Wano for Pluton anyway. I look forward to Bonney in the meantime.

@Shiebs IIRC she had her crew in the non-canon cameo fest Stampede for whatever that's worth. Might be nothing, who knows if Toei would even care to consult Oda over a small detail like that.

[electricmastro]

Bonney also met Zoro that one time long ago, so I'd say she's ahead of the game already in that respect.

@Kurloz Vivre Card confirmed her crew was incarcerated, but she managed to flee.

I wouldn't take anything from Stampede as canon. Wapol has his elder brother from Movie 8 there, for example.

I would have probably considered Bonney maybe a while back if her power was at all suited for actual combat rather than 'It's overpowered when it works, but useless if it doesn't.'

I feel Bonney's truest purpose is to allow us to see the adventures of the Chibi Straw Hats at some point.

And/or geezer Strawhats. Law already gave us body swap Strawhats so these ones are next on the lest.

[Deicide]

@Ivotas I see geezer mode as more of a gag while Bonney is messing with the crew, while Chibi mode may be an entire adventure. Especially with Vegapunk, the Punk Hazard kids and the Seraphim around.

[Shiebs]

Bonney helping them sneak into Vegapunk’s laboratory by pretending to be children from Punk Hazard by using her aging ability is an absolutely fantastic idea, awesome theory there

That all said, I wonder if Oda is trying to trick us again with Yamato.

My wager with @FolhaS has come to an end, and I unequivocally lost. You may pick out the avatar for me you want and I'll wear that for one year. I'll also be making a new thread shortly to discuss the new island.
