So, does this mean that Bonney's new target are the Elders now?
it seems so. she is not after VP anymore, and in that one-panel flashback, a shaodow is shown giving an order to VP about Kuma, most likely VP's Boss who is Saturn...

I'd suppose Bonney would stick around with Luffy if she does indeed plan on taking down all of the Elders, or at least achieving something that would avenge Kuma.

So, with all that has been happening now, Bonney for nakama or not?

Nah, she much more useless than Yamato, maybe she will join alliance, but not as main crew.

difference between bonney and previously me princesses in distress is that what she wants to accomplish seems impossible very hard. she wants her dad back, but i think she can get what is left of him in the base case.

She still needs training, but I think Bonney is getting better as a fighter.

In all honesty, I think Bonney is just Oda unveiling a bit more of the same character archtype that he's been talking about for quite a while: the special child that ends up being nurtured by a "natural enemy" and breaks a cycle of some sort.

She's a bit like Aisa, Law, Ace, Tama, Sanji, Momonosuke (?) and probably Luffy and Imu. (these are just a few that come to mind)

Considering she's actually a child, I'd say the similarities with Tama are the coolest: had been waiting for a savior in Ace/Nika, concluding it's actually Luffy and seeing him as a big brother. Bonney is actually a descendant of celestial dragons, but a Buccaneer slave that eventually made it to King is her fatherly figure, while Tama is a Kurozumi descendant that was being raised by a Kozuki ruler that eventually became a fugitive. Bonney has control over an army of cyborgs, shifting the tide of the conflict at hand, while Tama had control over an army of artificial zoans, eventually shifting the tide of the conflict.

I think she'll probably stick around for a bit, but both her parents were revolutionaries.

Finally a woman (other than Pudding) that might be fond of Sanji!
Post-timeskip Sanji has been scoring wins with all the princess archtype characters except for Shirahoshi in FI (the nosebleed gag was getting out of hand): Viola in Dressrosa, Pudding in WCI, Robin in Wano, Bonney in Egghead. There's also Nami, who'll keep kicking his ass but is still the main point of attention, and she did show more concern than usual during WCI. You also have the Germa cook and the oiran from Wano, so he's steadily shifting the narrative around him.

Girl*

She's not even 15 yet, it'd be very creepy for Sanji to make any kind of move towards her

Yeah, it's almost as if Oda "remade" the character of Tama in the form of Bonney, but with even more tragedy in her family history and something that endears Bonney closer to Luffy.

It's almost as if the story is told in cycles, and these characters are all "avatars" of sorts.
