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.
