Did Bon Clay Die

The age-old but ever changeful question to all the fans of One Piece. As we said, Bon Clay, a.k.a. Bentham--and let's not forget his alter ego, Mr. 2--is constantly in the forefront of our thoughts. So was Bon Clay dead?

Of course no, at least according to anything that's been corroborated up until now. Fears that any dog, crocodile or bug might have taken out this fabulous friend are totally unfounded. In fact after his latest appearance at Impel Down prison, Bon Clay is still alive and well both in body and spirit.

Remember when he was impersonating Warden Magellan? That was classic Bon Clay, sacrificing everything for his friends, putting on quite a show so that Luffy and co could escape. Poor Bon Clay found himself exiled on Level 5.5 of Impel Down--also known as Newkama Land--and had to survive as a drag queen.

There he thought he would ha.ve t'oin: rise eduring death for the 'people who helped him but in the end became queen of Which is Utopia, loved and accepted by all its inhabitants. With such a happy turn of fate that is typical 'One Piece' style where bravery and friendship go hand in hand, Bon Clay's spirit lives on. It's always a pleasure to retum to our tour through Bentham's world that has so much influence.

He may not have made many appearances recently, but Bon Clay's unrestrained spirit is still remembered as a symbol of friendship, courage and selflessness in the dangerous 'One Piece' world. And with that, if anything, let's drink to the indestructible spirit of Bon Clay--a man who won over his fans not by being the strongest but still thoroughly delightful! That's the real "okama" way!
