One Piece - Chapter 1103 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread GuidelineBriefs
Season's greetings, folks! We have ourselves a little holiday gift in the form of a super early spoiler leak! What awaits us in the last chapter of the year? Let's find out! Credit goes to AP's Redon and pewpiece for the initial info: -Chapter title is "I'm sorry, dad". Splash is a color page celebrating the new year (which appropriately enough features Momo, since 2024 will be the year of the dragon!). -Still in the flashback, Bonney apologizes to Vegapunk after having witnessed her father's memories. The scientist then gives her her father's birthday gift that he held onto.... a sun-shaped necklace made of sapphire! We then return to the present, where Bonney is still in Saturn's grasp. She fights back, using her Nika-style Distorted Future technique on him, but it proves ineffective! Saturn theorizes it's because she doesn't know enough about the "true" Nika, so she's only capable of replicating the rubber power.... -Curiously, despite everyone being immobilized by Saturn's power, Luffy was somehow able to get some food! Unfortunately, the old man notices, and orders to have him restrained with sea stone. He then reveals to Bonney.... HE was the reason she obtained her Devil Fruit power! As a scientist, he conducted experiments of his own where he "fed" people the fruits in the form of medicine! He gave this DF medicine to Ginny, but she caught the sapphire scale illness as a side effect. However, unbeknownst to him at the time, Ginny ended up passing down the power (and its illness) to her daughter. Saturn then proceeds to explain how the Toshi Toshi power works: The power can allow the user to transform into any future they can imagine. However, the more knowledge the user gains about the truth behind that future, the more limited their power becomes. What's more, in her despair, Bonney starts to doubt Nika's existence, which causes her power to weaken even further! She then apologizes to her father as Saturn prepares to finish her off..... -....When suddenly, a huge disturbance is seen in the distance, and quickly makes its way to the battlefield! It's none other than Kuma, who obliterates all marines in his way as he reaches his daughter! And indeed, he arrives just in time to block Saturn's attack! The chapter ends with him aiming a fist filled with his rage at the elder....!!!!! Last edited by marvelB; 2023-12-27 at 12:12. |

Thanks for the spoilers! I wonder when Saturn experimented with Bonney, would it have been after she was captured by Akainu?, and Kuma went into combat, but why did he go to EggHeart?, would Vegapunk have programmed him for that or even Does he have humanity left or something like that?, let's wait for more spoilers!.

Summary updated! Man, that Saturn is one disgusting bastard. Now I'm seriously starting to wonder if the theories of him (or one of the other elders/Imu) being Bonney's biological father are true....
Anyway, Bonney's DF definitely sounds hella OP. I guess she just needs to see G5 Luffy in action and she'll be able to copy it perfectly, then. But then again, maybe it'll still have limits on it (like staying transformed for too long will strain her body, or something like that). Gotta wait and see. Now, to cross my fingers and hope Kuma doesn't bite it for good next chapter..... |

Having seen the chapter, Saturn confirmed that he is the culprit of Ginny's illness but I didn't quite understand the part in which he gave his ability to Bonney, she had her ability since she was a baby?, and Kuma arrived to save Bonney from Saturn I hope I get to hit him (it seems like he's using haki, right?) since that old man deserves that and much more, let's wait for the next chapter!.

Holy, Kuma coming has definitely got my attention. Here's hoping it won't actually turn out to be a regular pacifista.
Okay going by the logic of how Bonney's DF works. Combine this fruit with jango's hypnotsim and you got yourself a haxed power.

Then again, that's just me being hopeful. After all, it's likely Kuma is dead and gone for good regardless of what happens but it'll still be very satisfying (and ironic) that Saturn gets the stuffing pounded out of him by the same Buccaneer whose life he's utterly ruined and ordered (threatened) to be converted into a mindless killing machine. At least he still ensured Bonney and Luffy have made it this far. And don't forget about that Iron Giant. The one that attacked Marijose 200 years ago. It activated again back around when Luffy went Gear Five. |

I'm mostly interessted in Saturn's DF power (if it even is a DF and not something similar), since it looks like is able to immobilize anyone around him and even nullify the powers of other DF users. Sounds a lot like the gravity power that Blackbeard has.

Bonney eating a DF even though she never left the church was very suspicious, the explanation given makes a lot of sense. Saturn really is responsible for all of her suffering, but there is little doubt in my mind the power he's granted her will prove to be his undoing. I'm fully expecting a double Nika finish.
Surprised no one talked about it but Kizaru expressed concern for Sentomaru and Bonney, and food mysteriously appeared right next to Luffy before anyone could notice... sounds like something a man who can move at the speed of light can do.

I know that many of us expected Kuma to punch Saturn, but something tells me that the old man blocked it or dodged it or something, since otherwise Oda would have ended the chapter showing the punch (although the truth is it would be nice if I was wrong and Kuma hit the old man).
Regarding the food Luffy is eating, I also thought that maybe it was Kizaru but; would that Admiral really help the other side?, it is true that he shows concern for Bonney and Sentomaru but... I have my doubts. |

Words cannot express how badly I want this Saturn as**hole to get pummeled down by Nikaluffy to death with all his dreams and world crumbling around him, dude makes Celestial Dragons look like the better villains. Wouldnt even mind his secrets dying here with him at this stage, even somehow managed to make Kizaru doubt himself. Just make Kuma witness the scene before he completely perishes.
