I don't want to be that person, but look at the first two pages of the chapter: Vegapunk states that the SHPs already have saved him and that a lot had happened. This means that during all this, Bonney had not had bonding/interacting-time with the SHP. Instead she stayed in the Kuma-memory-chamber the whole time. The only contact she had with a person was with Vegapunk after she came out of the room, no one else. 
Please, consider that Oda now does the exact same thing he did in Wano with Yamato:
- Yamato had mostly interacted with non-SHPs.
- Here in Egghead Bonney mostly interacts with Vegapunk... a non-SHP ... . 😥

We have actively seen Bonney interact with several Strawhats on panel in Egghead. Bonney had more panel time with Luffy than Vegapunk before this chapter. You really using "offscreen" interactions?
Also just ignoring all the stuff before the invasion.

At this point I think there's only 1 of 2 possibilities going forward with Bonney's character.
A: she joins as the final Strawhat
B: she becomes a major recurring ally like Law
As of the current chapter, Bonney and Kuma have appeared more this arc than Luffy has. The only non-Strawhats who got focus comparable to what they're getting were Law in Dressrosa and Vivi in Alabasta (and Vivi's an honorary crewmate anyway).

I think the issue here is that Kuma's effectively dead. He's operating on pure primal instinct to protect Bonney fron Saturn. Kuma's whole character seems to be built around the idea of him being a martyr. He's going to perform one last sacrifice to protect Bonney. I know One Piece has an issue with fakeout deaths, but they've explicitly gone out of their way this arc to say "Kuma is dead and there is no bringing him back."
Also I really don't think they'd be giving Kuma such a heartfelt sendoff if he was going to make it out of this arc alive.

I just want to say that I think her interactions with Vegapunk are more regular and pronounced than with the crew - this is my impression and does not mean she will stay with Vegapunk - it fells just odd to me (and familiar because of Wano). :zorothink:

Oh, and I have to add: I think, Oda will show us what was happening in that time skip in the near future and that Bonney will play a minor role in the story, since she was in her father's memory-room. It was off-screened, but I think we will get to see it soon.

I like Bonney, I don’t think she will (nor should) join but I won’t delude myself into thinking she doesn’t have a solid connection to straw hats.
Luffy and her grew close it seems, she has a unique friendship with Sanji, Franky jumped down from safety to find her, and I wouldn’t be shocked if we get more throughout the arc.

Showing fondness for and being connected to isn’t the same. Let me explain using previous characters:
1. Yamato - Although introduced with Luffy, most of her time on Onigashima was with Momo and she was constantly being connected to Wano as a guardian
2. Carrot - Although she had an arc with the straw hats, she was a minor character in WCI but moreso than that when she was on Wano she was instantly relegated to the minks and more than that her plot was connected to the minks
Bonney currently her plot is connected to Luffy and Kuma she really doesn’t have much future connection to Punk anymore and her scene this chapter felt more like a child reconnecting with a relative

If Kuma lives, then she has options (both can join or they both just go off and do their own thing until the EoS)
