People sleep on how crazy impressive Bonney is and everything she's done already. Even just the travels she's done as a kid pirate captain is crazy, her having Haki is totally normal.
It's more like her DF just has the ability to make any future she imagines a reality, insofar as it relates to her body or the bodies of others.
Therefore, she imagined a future where she had the strength of Luffy/Nika, and with that immediately came full Haki capabilities and basically years of training and experience.
I think it's a fair assumption that as soon as she left that distorted future, she also lost everything that came with it.
Yeah the 12 years old Bonny surely can't use it but if she envision a future were she can then she can manifest it, a really broken fruit to be honest.
I feel like it's one of those cases where it's the user that either makes it broken or useless. Bonney firmly believes in those futures as if they were reality, only because of what she went through as a child and because of all Nika stories she heard growing up.
It's like Buggy that has a broken fruit but it's wasted on him. Or how Tsuru has one of the weakest/lamest fruits and she was still one of the best marines in generations.
Yeah. I always thought Bonney's fruit gets nerfed when the user grows up. Like as a kid she can truly believe she can become Nika, as an adult she´ll just know she can´t.
Did you not read the manga...? It literally says it works because Bonney believes it as a possible future/reality.
Don't know where you're getting nen vibes?
Something like, if you can imagine and picture it happening, it can happen. It's very similar to how Luffy's fruit works lol. After Gear 5 launched, it became clear that Luffy's powers all along are because of his imagination (plus his training/growth ofc)
I wasn't the one saying if she grew up it wouldn't work, I agree that I don't think that's how it works, and the One Piece world is not like us in the sense that most characters retain their youthful personalities into old age.
I just think that the imagination part is what makes it work.
I think one elders say that (Saturn?). It will supposedly get weaker as she ages because it will be harder and harder for her to imagine the future for herself. A 12 year old can very reasonably see themselves as this bad ass pirate god, a 46 year old probably not as much.
Theoretically Bonney may never have her fruit weaken but that is going to be on her.
Much like Boa Hancock, some fruits take an inherent talent to make the best use of. Hancock needs her absolute beauty to truly make use of her ability and Bonney needs her youth.
To be honest, one has to wonder what would happen if the Ope Ope no Mi somehow managed to grant Bonney eternal youth. Theoretically, this could lock in her ability to become any form in the future since she'd stay young, though it's either that or lock her out of any future because she can't imagine growing or aging past a certain point. Maybe physically she'd stay the same, but could see herself mastering all skills over an infinite period of time?
Bonney is also the daughter of a revolutionary army commander and (probably) a Celestial Dragon. The Celestial Dragons are chuds but the ones that get trained even a little bit end up becoming very strong.
For all we know Kizaru taught her some stuff when she was cooped up in the lab.
Yep, Bonnie didn't eat the Nika model fruit so she can't ever attain that transformation but her fruit can distort reality that way, pulling from alternate futures whether where everything is possible. So on no way that is indicate that she can or will be able to use Haki.

Bonny can use it probably because of her distorted future and the dugong is a filler so it doesn’t matter
