Bonney's transformation is by far the most controversial moment of One Piece's Egghead Island Arc, but spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1119 extinguished the fire.
One Piece Chapter 1118 shocked the community with Bonney's Nika transformation. This chapter split the fandom in two as many fans debated what this episode could mean in the future. This chapter also ends without explaining everything about it, leaving the reader confused as to why she could use something unique to Luffy.
However, Bonney's transformation is not power-based but symbolizes her freedom. Kuma promised her that Nika would one day save her. In the latest Chapter, Luffy encourages her to take on that form, where she uses Distorted Future and imagines a future where she is completely free.

Last week, the debate in the community was especially bad. A One Piece leaker shared his opinion after releasing the spoiler: “Everyone has the right to like or dislike anything in One Piece. It doesn't make you a fake fan if you don't like something. Even Oda said in 2022 that he knows not everything he does in the final story will be loved by everyone. He did it for his own pleasure and enjoyment.”
However, all of that is resolved in one Chapter. One Piece Chapter 1119 resolves the Egghead Island Arc controversy by confirming that Bonney used a “false transformation.” She assists Luffy, Franky, and Sanji in a combined attack before running out of energy. It doesn't look like she'll be using that form anytime soon, based on her level of exhaustion.
One fan shared: “All the Oda and Bonney haters are really Silent now.”
“From Kanjuro pretending to be Oden to Luffy becoming the reincarnated Joy boy and finally this Bonney situation. When will you all learn to judge after the spoiler,” another shared .
Another fan also shared: “Half the fandom was exposed for their lack of reading comprehension and basic understanding of the story in one attack.”
