Episode 1152, titled “Her Father and Mother’s Legacy! Bonney’s Nika Punch,” premiered on December 7, 2025, delivering a pivotal moment for Jewelry Bonney within the unfolding Egghead Arc. Fans eagerly watched as Bonney, grappling with her past and the machinations of the World Government, tapped into a profound new strength, mirroring the legendary Nika. This installment continues the intense events on Egghead Island, as the Straw Hat Pirates navigate perilous encounters with the Five Elders and Dr. Vegapunk’s groundbreaking revelations.
A Deep Dive into Bonney’s “Nika Punch”
The highly anticipated Episode 1152 saw Jewelry Bonney take center stage, showcasing a significant power-up that resonates deeply with the series’ overarching lore. Titled “Her Father and Mother’s Legacy! Bonney’s Nika Punch,” the episode delivered on its promise, as Bonney seemingly activated a “Nika form” or utilized a “Nika Punch.” This development is crucial, as Bonney’s struggle throughout the Egghead Arc has been intimately tied to her father, Bartholomew Kuma, and her desire for freedom from the World Government’s influence. The “Nika Punch” is not merely a display of strength but a symbolic strike, honoring her family’s suffering and embodying her pursuit of liberation.
The preceding Episode 1151, “The Dream I Envisioned With Dad! Bonney’s Free Future,” set the stage for this transformative moment. In that episode, Bonney, aboard a burning ship and facing the formidable Five Elders, heard a familiar sound and accessed memories of her father, leading to this newfound power.
The Intensifying Egghead Arc
Episode 1152 further propels the Straw Hat Pirates’ high-stakes adventure on Egghead Island. The Egghead Arc, which began airing in January 2024, is the first arc of the “Final Saga” of One Piece and has been lauded for its intricate plot, major revelations, and intense battles. The arc sees Monkey D. Luffy and his crew encounter the genius scientist Dr. Vegapunk, who has been a long-awaited and mysterious figure in the One Piece narrative.
The Straw Hats, alongside Dorry and Brogy, found themselves under attack by the Five Elders in the previous episode, highlighting the perilous situation they face. The unfolding events on Egghead Island are uncovering profound truths about the Void Century, the nature of Devil Fruits, and offering deeper character backstories. The arc is quickly building towards its conclusion, with only a few episodes remaining before it wraps up, anticipated around December 28, 2025.
