Today, the full summary of One Piece Chapter 1098 was revealed. With that, the answers to many problems that made fans curious during Kuma’s flashback, especially those related to Jewelry Bonney, were also revealed.
According to the spoilers, One Piece Chapter 1098 is titled “Birth of Bonney”. First of all it is a short chapter of 15 pages as Oda couldn’t finish chapter manuscript this week.
The chapter continues revealing more important information about Ginny, Kuma, and Bonney. Ginny was kidnapped to become a Tenryuubito’s wife (we can’t see who is the Tenryuubito who married her in this chapter). It’s reported that Ginny’s entire Revolutionary Army troop was annihilated in a surprise attack by World Government.
After Ginny was kidnapped, Revolutionary Army become more violent and Kuma become much more intense in battles. We see the moment when Revolutionary Army picked up people from Goa Kingdom. After that, Kuma teleported to another island to help the rebels. Kuma ended the battle in that island all by himself. Bonney is the child that was born from Ginny and the Tenryubito.
Two years after her kidnapping, Ginny contracts a mortal disease called Sapphire Scale. It’s said to be a very rare disease, even more so than the Amber Lead Syndrome which Trafalgar D. Water Law contracted as a child. When patients come into contact with natural light, their skin becomes blue and hardens like a rock or a scale, hence the disease’s name.
One Piece chapter 1098 then reveals that Ginny is eventually released due to the disease. Ginny allegedly then returns to the Sorbet Kingdom, leaving Bonney with the island’s elders.
Ginny then heads to the church where she lived with Bartholomew Kuma, calling the Revolutionary Army from within. She says she really wanted to see everyone again, but says this is a farewell instead. Ivankov and Kuma are in shock, with the latter saying he thought he’d never see her again and that he’ll immediately go wherever she is.
During their conversation, they identified Ginny’s location, so Kuma teleported to Sorbet Kingdom. Ginny said one last thing to Kuma, but he couldn’t hear it because he was teleporting where Ginny was.
Ginny: “Kuma, I love you.”
Kuma arrived to Sorbet Kingdom but Ginny was already dead. Kuma laid Ginny to rest (“Ginny” her official name, it appears in her grave). Kuma decided to raise Bonney with the elders help. Kuma teleported to help Revolutionary Army from time to time, we can see montages of Kuma’s activities with them, including him training Sabo.
But unfortunately, Bonney started to develop “Sapphire Scale” disease too, so Kuma decided to quit Revolutionary Army and take care of her. Dragon allowed it and he told Kuma he will ask all doctors he knew in case any of them could help Bonney. Kuma had no idea about what to do to treat Bonney, so he decided she couldn’t leave the church to avoid natural light.
Kuma started to bring Bonney books about different islands to read. Kuma: “If you could travel, where would you like to go Bonney?” Kuma and Bonney enjoyed together, dancing and living as father and daughter. Bonney’s face had blue stones due to “Sapphire Scale” so Kuma called her “Jewelry”. Some years passed, we are now 6 years ago from the present.
Bonney had 5 years old. Kuma talked with a doctor about Bonney’s disease. The doctor said him that although Bonney never came in contact with natural light, the disease would still get worse with age and she will die when she will turn around 10. Bonney overheard the conversation, but she only heard the “around 10” part. She was very happy since she misunderstand that she will be cured when she will turn 10. Kuma always told her optimistically that her disease will be cured one day. Now he couldn’t tell her the truth and he didn’t know what to do.
1 more year passed, we are now 5 years ago from the present (Bonney had 6 years old). Chapter ends when Bekori (former Sorbet King) returned to Sorbet Kingdom and started to kill Sorbet citizens. People asked Kuma for help. This is where the chapter ends.
