Sorry, Kizaru, you'll remain my B-train, because Stussy is A+++
Let's see how far Stussy can go...
Stussy don't pass the 5th golden rule but we will assume that it was just not written yet just for you guys not to implode. So lets say that vegapunk will be her "guide of the will".
Now let's see how she does in the 10 pillars.
- Fighting skill, yes. 1 point.
- Antagonistic introduction, check. 2 Points
- Multilayered characterization. Actually check. 3 points
- Symbolic reach. Only halfway of the 4 points. So .. 2 Points
- Strong character arc. None. 0 Point
- Hint of the 2 driving forces. Nothing. 0 Point
- The rescue. Nothing as of right now. 0 Point
- The Nakama need. Right now she is fighting for Vegapunk and not for Luffy. 0 point
- Post. She COULD be a scientist. But it was not shadow or foreshadowed. So only half the point +0.5. 4 points.
- Shining Nakama action. Nothing. 0 points.
Stussy as of right now wins
12 points.
Let's see how far Bonney can go. 
Bonney actually checks easily the 5 golden rules.
As for the 10 Pillars:
- Fighting skill, Check. 1 point.
- Antagonistic introduction, Check. 2 Points
- Multilayered characterization. Check. 3 points
- Symbolic reach. 3 out of 4 points. So .. 3 Points
- Strong character arc. Yup. 5 Points
- Hint of the 2 driving forces. Yup. 6 Points
- The rescue. There was no real rescue but there is hint of it so half the points + 0.5. 4 Points
- The Nakama need. Right now she is fighting for her dad and not for Luffy. 0 point
- Post. Nothing was shadowed. 0 points.
- Shining Nakama action. Nothing. 0 points.
Bonney wins
24 Points
Do you want to check how far can go Carrot ? lol , let's see.
First, she easily check the 5 golden rules.
Then for the 10 Pillars:
- Fighting skill, Check. 1 point.
- Antagonistic introduction, Check. 2 Points
- Multilayered characterization. Check. 3 points
- Symbolic reach. Check. 4 Points
- Strong character arc. Just a small arc, only half the points +0.5. 3 Points
- Hint of the 2 driving forces. Check. 6 Points
- The rescue. Nothing. 0 Points
- The Nakama need. Nothing. 0 point
- Post. Check. 9 points.
- Shining Nakama action. Omegachecked. 10 points.
Carrot wins
38 Points.
Let's sum it up:
Stussy: 12 Points
Bonney : 24 Points
Carrot : 38 Points
The moment a post will be foreshadowed, things will change. But right now, Carrot is still ahead.

@Logiko I just found out that false adversary is another made up term. I didn't bother to look it up before because at least this one made sense. But also this "rule" makes no sense because Franky was a straight up adversary until he wasn't. Since this rule would have excluded
Oh! This is because of an error of translation of mine.
The actual term created by Truby is "False ennemy". Sorry, I read the anatomy book in french.

Franky was literally a false adversary. Just as Lucci was a false ally. I'm really surprised that you don't know those concepts. This is very basic stuff.
