Who will be the Next Strawhat?

She’s also falling in the same hole as Yamato did where throughout the arc she’s been connected to the other group. In this case she’s kinda fallen in with Vegapunk and Sentomaru

I still don’t think it’ll happen:
1. She’s still more connected to Vegapunk and his Allies so like Yamato ending up with the revs, Bonney will end up where they go
2. She still doesn’t have a dream yet. The straw hats are a crew of dreamer, so like Yamato and carrot before, not having a tangible dream is a problem. And kuma doesn’t seemingly have a dream for her to inherit either
3. She’s too minor of a character in this flashback. This flashback is about kuma, Bonneys just a minor character in it which wouldn’t feel right for a nakama flashback.

Sure oda could change it instantly but as it stands right now, she just doesn’t feel like a nakama to me. But I do love her
That's not true at all. We've barely seen her interact with Vegapunk outside of attacking him, I don't think she even met sentomaru, and the only revo she knows is Kuma, who worships Nika. 99% of her time this arc has been with the strawhats, especially Luffy. She's literally the exact opposite of Yamato's situation.

One correction

She did meet sentomaru when he caught her while dying*


* = no way he's dead
 
Difference is Robin got that as an initial bounty for Ohara as a whole. Bonney legitimately made her way from South Blue all the way to Sabaody.

And in the 2 years since Sabaody(with no crew) she has managed to more than double her bounty.

Not counting that she managed to sneak into MJ
Difference is Robin actively chose to hide in the shadows of pirate crews, not making a name for herself. That's her whole back story - finding someone to take her in without selling her out as WG wanted her DEAD.

Bonney on the other hand stepped in to the lime light as a Supernova. And when she was caught by a Yonko facing certain death Admiral Akainu came and SAVED her. He would have been saying atta boy, Teach, if he would have been close to killing Robin instead. Bonney gets special treatment due to being a tenryubitos daughter.

None of this really removes the point of her bounty still raising. Did Bonney get saved? Yeah, that doesn't change the fact that she still did enough to escape confinement and get her bounty raised repeatedly. It's no different from the SH managing to get out of raw deals that genuinely should have fucked them due to connections to people who wouldn't give the same leeway to other pirates.
 
I always wondered what will bring Luffy to attack the WG directly because he isn't a hero. He only acts when someone close to him is endangered. So even if he finds out what happend during the Void Century on Laughtale, that shouldn't be enough to get him going. Bonney being chased and threatened directly by her biological father could become the emotional trigger for him to raise hell in Marijoa. Of course there are also other characters that could do the job, like Vivi or even Robin. Just wanted to point it out as a possible pro Bonney argument.

Honestly, I think Vivi will almost certainly be the trigger for Luffy to fight the world government, but if it's not her, then Bonney makes sense too.
