In One Piece chapter 1023,
Shinobu used her abilities to age Momonosuke by 20 years.
This moment reminded many readers of Jewelry Bonney, a character known for her
power to manipulate age as well. While their abilities seem similar at first
glance, they are actually quite different. Here’s a closer look at the key
differences between Shinobu’s and Bonney’s powers in One Piece:
1. Bonney’s Age Manipulation Is
Reversible, While Shinobu’s Is Permanent
Jewelry Bonney has demonstrated the
ability to make herself appear older or younger at will. She can not only age
people but also revert them back to their original state.
In contrast, Shinobu’s technique causes permanent aging. As she warned in
chapter 1021, the transformation she performed on Momonosuke cannot be undone.
2. Bonney Can Make Targets
Younger or Older, While Shinobu’s Ability Only Ages
Bonney’s power offers full control
over a target’s age, allowing her to either de-age someone into a child or age
them into an elder.
On the other hand, Shinobu’s ability only moves forward — she can accelerate
the aging process, but she cannot make someone younger.
3. Shinobu’s Powers Affect
Objects and Terrain, Bonney’s Are Limited to Humans
Another key difference lies in the
scope of their abilities. Bonney’s powers have only been shown working on
humans so far.
Meanwhile, Shinobu can apply her aging technique to inanimate objects as well.
She once used it to rapidly decay the ground, creating an escape route for
herself and the Straw Hat Pirates during their battle against Kaido.
In summary, while both characters
manipulate age, the mechanics and effects of their powers are significantly
different.
Given these differences, if Momonosuke ever wanted to return to being a child,
he might need to seek help from Bonney. However, considering that Bonney’s
transformations appear to be temporary, it’s unclear if this would be a viable
solution.
