When Eiichiro Oda revealed the truth about the God Valley Incident, we were introduced to a new female character called Ginny (also referred to as Jinny by fans) in One Piece. After we meet Ginny, her demeanor reminds fans of another main character in the Egghead island arc. So, did that pique your interest? If that’s the case, here is everything you need to learn about the little girl, Ginny, who was introduced in One Piece chapter 1095. Moreover, she has a major connection with Bonney and Kuma.
Spoiler Warning:
This post includes spoilers for One Piece. We suggest you watch the anime and read the manga (up to chapter 1098) to avoid ruining the intended experience.
Who is Ginny in One Piece?
The Egghead arc expanded Bartholomew Kuma’s backstory in One Piece. During this time, Kuma was enslaved by the Celestial Dragons and forcefully taken to the Native Hunting Competition on God Valley island. During this incident, Kuma meets Emporio Ivankov and a young girl named Ginny.
Ginny expressed herself as a mastermind in theft, communication, wiretapping, and more. She was rightly so, as she leaked information about this island’s contest to the outside world, which attracted the attention of the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates. She also seemed to be well-versed in devil fruits, and she possessed all these skills despite being a kid.
After Ginny leaked details about the God Valley incident, the trio plotted to escape by getting their hands on some of the strongest devil fruits, which were kept as prizes for the winners. Thus, Kuma snatched and ate the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, which helped him save most slaves using his newfound devil fruit powers. Finally, they all fled from the island, which would soon be erased from the face of the map.
Following the God Valley Incident, Ginny peacefully lived with Kuma in the Sorbet Kingdom. When their paths crossed with the Revolutionary Army (previously known as Freedom Fighters), the pair enrolled together in the military organization led by Monkey D. Dragon. Ginny soon climbed to the top ranks of the Revolutionary Army by becoming the East Army Commander. However, Ginny’s life journey took a sudden turn when she was kidnapped by a Celestial Dragon once again.
Ginny’s Complete Backstory in One Piece
Ginny was kidnapped from the Porco Kingdom around 51 years ago in the story. She was just four years old when the Celestial Dragons made her their slave. As a result, she was also one of the people forced to join the Native Hunting Competition alongside Kuma and Ivankov at God Valley. However, the trio successfully liberated themselves and escaped their potential demise by executing a brilliant escape plan devised by Ginny.
Is Ginny Bonney’s Mother and Kuma’s Wife?
If you remember, Bonney made her debut the same way as Ginny; she was seen eating a large piece of meat and her favorite pizza in One Piece. Next, Ginny’s name also rhymes with Bonney’s name.
Kuma and Bonney bonded well and looked out for each other following their fateful meeting. These facts, with the story focusing on Kuma’s character, initially suggested that Kuma and Ginny tied the knot. Eventually, Ginny confessed that she wanted to marry Kuma, but the latter went on to reject the proposal as his traumatic childhood clouded his mind. So, the marriage that all the One Piece fans wanted to happen didn’t take place in the end.
The voracious appetite, similar characteristics, and relation with Kuma stay cohesive, and so fans thought Ginny was most likely Bonney’s mother before the reveal. Additionally, the two kids who try to bully Kuma and Ginny are confirmed to have grown up and become crewmates of the Bonney Pirates.
Just as we predicted, it was confirmed that Ginny gave birth to Bonney in the story. However, Kuma isn’t Bonney’s biological father like we had thought, and there is a heartbreaking backstory behind Bonney’s birth that just shook our hearts.
How Did Ginny Die in One Piece?
In the present timeline, Ginny is nowhere to be seen in the story of One Piece, which reveals that she must have lost her life shortly after Bonney’s birth. Some time after joining the Revolutionary Army, Ginny was abducted by a Celestial Dragon and married him against her will.
It is currently theorized that Figarland Garling‘s son and Shank’s twin, Figarland Shamrock, is the one who kidnapped Ginny and became Bonney’s biological father. The search for Ginny continued by the Revolutionaries, but in the end, no one could rescue her.
Two years passed by, and all of a sudden, Ginny contacted the Revolutionary Army one day. She was thrown out of the World Nobles’ place when she got sick. It was then revealed she was physically assaulted by a Celestial Dragon. Moreover, St. Saturn also experimented with Ginny, which led to her getting the sapphire stone disease. The sapphire stone disease is when a person’s skin starts to harden when exposed to a natural form of light (sunlight or moonlight).
Her disease led her to the brink of death, and Kuma teleported to her location to rescue her. But it was already too late for her, as Ginny died due to the exposure. Even in her dying moments, Ginny acknowledged how she has always loved Kuma and will continue to do so even after death.
Then, it was revealed that Ginny gave birth to a baby girl and wanted to safeguard her. Hence, she made the call to her friends. That baby girl is none other than Bonney. However, as we expected, Kuma is neither Ginny’s husband nor Bonney’s biological father. However, Kuma indeed stepped up to become the father of Bonney as he promised to Ginny in her last moments. Kuma is a character in this world to has suffered in every aspect of his life. But he didn’t let that hold him from protecting and raising Ginny happily, as seen in the continuation of the flashback.
We now know everything about Ginny’s character in One Piece. She is one of those characters who, despite their short screentime, manage to successfully create an impact that will last long eternally. She is already one of the best female characters in One Piece. In the meantime, what do you think about Ginny’s character? Let us know your opinions in the comments below.
